Research direction
Start by reproducing the three non-UTF-8 examples through the package entry point, require('decode-utf8'). Read the decoder implementation and existing tests, if present, to trace why invalid inputs are skipped or throw. Done means invalid input has one consistent, agreed-upon handling behavior covered by tests.

'AA'
> require('decode-utf8')(Uint8Array.of(0x1c, 0xf4, 0x68)) // throws
