Checkpoint: unsafe and interop

⭐⭐⭐ advanced⏳ 12 min read📍 Lesson 235 of 265

Synthesis: pointer arithmetic within managed memory, done safely and measured.

Checkpoint: unsafe and interop

The graded task exercises the two legitimate faces of unsafe code: pointer arithmetic over managed memory with narrow pinning, and reinterpretation via MemoryMarshal (no pointers at all). Practice adds the escaping-pointer anti-pattern and struct-overlay parsing with endianness made observable.
