V10.8.0/sonar new code acceptance do not merge

[gimlichael]

This pull request validates Sonar PR New Code coverage using the normalized coverage mode already configured on main. It is disposable acceptance evidence only: do not merge; after a successful acceptance, close the PR and delete its branch without merging.

Disposable coverage acceptance:

• Introduce one behavior-preserving condition on one executable line in an existing private byte-pattern helper, without changing public APIs.
• Exercise both condition outcomes through the existing public facade with two deterministic test cases.
• Leave Sonar actions/workflows, Codecov configuration and raw TestResults/OpenCover inputs, release/deploy workflows, and canonical Sonar main unchanged.
• Verify actual PR analysis against main exposes 100% New Code line, condition, and combined coverage, with exactly one generic Sonar coverage report parsed and zero raw OpenCover reports parsed.
• Local verification passed: Release builds across all source target frameworks; 2,330 Core test executions across net10.0, net9.0, and net48; changed-line and both-path coverage confirmed in net9/net10 Release and net10 Debug reports. Local net48 tests passed, but coverage of this helper was not established in its local report.

Confidence Score: 5/5

[Medium risk] Changes byte-matching logic in a utility function.

The code changes appear safe, but this disposable acceptance PR is explicitly not intended to be merged.

Summary

The PR replaces a byte-comparison expression with an equivalent condition and adds two public-facade test cases for its match and mismatch outcomes.

• No behavioral change or actionable review issue was identified.
• The changes are limited to the helper and its tests.
