Fixes #43

Description

This pull request introduces fuzz testing for the py-multibase decoder. It implements the fuzz target using hypothesis to exercise the decode pipeline with random binary, string, and encoded permutations to ensure the package handles malformed input safely without crashing.

Changes

• Installed hypothesis as a development dependency in pyproject.toml.
• Added tests/test_fuzz.py containing:
  • test_decode_never_crashes
  • test_decode_string_never_crashes
  • test_roundtrip_never_crashes

Review (maintainer) — Request changes

Thanks for adding Hypothesis fuzz coverage for decode() — this aligns well with #43 and CI is green.

Blocker

Missing newsfragment for issue #43. Please add something like:

newsfragments/43.misc.rst

Added Hypothesis-based fuzz tests for ``decode()`` robustness.

(File must end with a newline.) Type misc or internal is appropriate for a test-only change.

Also recommended

1. Rebase onto current origin/master (branch is ~6 commits behind; dry-run merge had no conflicts, but pyproject.toml overlaps with open #49 and #56).
2. In test_roundtrip_never_crashes, when both encode and decode succeed, assert decoded == data so silent corruption cannot pass.
3. Consider seeding Hypothesis with multibase spec vectors (closer to go-multibase FuzzDecode / the #43 proposal).

Validation (local)

• make lint — pass
• make typecheck — pass
• make test — 269 passed
• make docs-ci — pass
