Review Comment:
   StreamReader::remainingBytes() performs pointer subtraction (end_ - next_) 
even when both pointers are nullptr right after reset()/init(). Pointer 
subtraction is only defined for pointers into the same array object; 
subtracting null pointers is undefined behavior and can make bytesRemaining() 
unreliable on some platforms/optimizations. Compute the buffered byte count 
conditionally (treat it as 0 when no buffer has been filled yet) and update the 
comment accordingly.
