+ // and the libplctag.NET API surface):
+ //
+ // 1. ELEMENT ADDRESSING — each of the `count` elements is read from its own byte offset
+ // `i * elementSize` within the single contiguous tag buffer that the prior ReadAsync
+ // filled (the tag was created with ElementCount = count, so one PCCC transaction
+ // fetched the whole span from the base address, e.g. N7:0 reading N7:0..N7:count-1).
+ // 2. FILE/ELEMENT vs SUB-ELEMENT — these are whole-element (file/element) reads, NOT
+ // sub-element reads. The array tag addresses a span of file elements (N7:0, N7:1, …),
+ // so there is no /N bit suffix or T/C/R sub-element field in play on this path; the
+ // bit-within-word and structured-element paths are handled elsewhere as scalars.
+ // 3. ELEMENT WIDTHS — the canonical PCCC element widths drive the offset stride:
+ // • N / A (integer word files → Int) → 2 bytes/element (GetInt16 at i*2)
+ // • L (long) and F (float) → 4 bytes/element (GetInt32/GetFloat32 at i*4)
+ // • B (bit file) → bit-packed: element i is the i-th bit,
+ // read by index via libplctag's GetBit(i) (NOT a byte offset).
+ // 4. CONTIGUOUS LAYOUT — libplctag packs the multi-element read contiguously with no
+ // per-element padding, so the `i * elementSize` stride (and GetBit(i) for B-files)
+ // lands exactly on element i.
+ // 5. UNSUPPORTED ELEMENT TYPES — String (ST-file) and Timer / Counter / Control
+ // sub-element structures do NOT lay out as a flat scalar array (variable-width /
+ // structured), so array reads of them are rejected in the `default` arm below; the
+ // driver also filters them before reaching here.
