 /**
- * Sentinel decoder for Position records arriving from the Redis Stream.
+ * Re-exports from src/shared/codec.ts.
  *
- * tcp-ingestion serializes Position objects with a custom JSON replacer that
- * encodes types not natively supported by JSON:
- *   - bigint  → { __bigint: "<decimal-digits>" }
- *   - Buffer  → { __buffer_b64: "<base64>" }
- *   - Date    → ISO8601 string
+ * The decode logic lives in src/shared/codec.ts so that both src/core/ (durable
+ * write consumer) and src/live/ (broadcast consumer) can import it without
+ * crossing the enforced src/core/ ↔ src/live/ boundary.
  *
- * This module reverses that encoding so the Processor receives fully-typed
- * Position objects. The contract is documented in:
- *   docs/wiki/concepts/position-record.md
- *   tcp-ingestion/src/core/publish.ts (jsonReplacer)
+ * All existing Phase 1 import paths (`import { decodePosition } from './codec.js'`)
+ * continue to work unchanged.
