   Hi @JosiahWI,
   
   Thanks for the clarification.
   
   Before doing any further work on this PR, I think we need to resolve some 
uncertainty around the ownership and maintenance location of `libswoc`.
   
   My investigation found that the code currently exists in multiple places:
   
   * Original `libswoc` repository (largely inactive for several years)
   * Apache's actively maintained external `trafficserver-libswoc` repository
   * The vendored copy under `ATS/lib/swoc`, which appears to have diverged 
from the external repository
   
   Because of that, I'd prefer not to make additional changes directly against 
the vendored copy until we understand which repository is intended to be the 
authoritative source for this code and how updates are expected to flow between 
them.
   
   I'll review the Copilot comments, but some of the requested changes may be 
better addressed in the actively maintained external `trafficserver-libswoc` 
repository and then synced into ATS, rather than making further ad hoc 
modifications in the vendored copy.
   
   Could we first confirm the expected maintenance path for `libswoc` before I 
proceed with additional changes.
   Looking to know if `libswoc` the vendored copy should be a sub-module to the 
external `trafficserver-libswoc`.
   
   When I know this I will follow this for this change.
