- ✅ **FastLED Integration**: Complete bridge implementation in `fl/codec/jpeg.cpp`
- ✅ **Decoder Implementation**: `TJpgDecoder` class implements `IDecoder` interface
- ✅ **Static API**: `Jpeg` class provides convenient static decode methods
- ✅ **Memory Management**: Uses FastLED's buffer management and scoped arrays
- ✅ **Pixel Format Support**: RGB888, RGB565, RGBA8888 conversion implemented
- ✅ **Configuration Mapping**: `JpegDecoderConfig` fully integrated

## FastLED Third-Party Namespace Architecture

FastLED mandates that all third-party libraries be wrapped in the `fl::third_party` namespace to:

### 1. **Prevent Global Namespace Pollution**
```cpp
// Before: Global namespace collision risk
class TJpg_Decoder { /* ... */ };

// After: Safely namespaced
namespace fl {
namespace third_party {
    class TJpg_Decoder { /* ... */ };
}
}
```

### 2. **Clear Ownership and Licensing Boundaries**
The `fl::third_party` namespace makes it immediately clear:
- **What code is external**: Everything in `fl::third_party` comes from external sources
- **Licensing considerations**: Third-party code may have different licenses
- **Maintenance responsibility**: External libraries have their own update cycles
- **API stability**: Third-party APIs may change independently of FastLED

### 3. **Controlled Integration Points**
```cpp
// Third-party code stays isolated
namespace fl::third_party {
    class TJpg_Decoder { /* Original Arduino-style API */ };
}

// FastLED provides clean wrappers
namespace fl {
    class Jpeg {  // Clean C++ API following FastLED conventions
        static bool decode(const JpegDecoderConfig& config, /* ... */);
    private:
        fl::third_party::TJpg_Decoder decoder_;  // Wrapped implementation
    };
}
```

### 4. **Implementation Benefits**

#### **Namespace Isolation**
- No symbol conflicts with user code or other libraries
- Clear separation between FastLED native code and external dependencies
- Enables multiple versions of similar libraries if needed

#### **API Transformation**
- Third-party libraries keep their original APIs intact
- FastLED provides idiomatic C++ wrappers that follow project conventions
- Users interact with clean FastLED APIs, not raw third-party interfaces

#### **Maintenance Advantages**
- Updates to third-party libraries are contained within their namespace
- FastLED can provide compatibility layers when third-party APIs change
- Clear responsibility boundaries for bug fixes and feature development

### 5. **TJpg_Decoder Example**

The TJpg_Decoder implementation demonstrates this pattern perfectly:

```cpp
// File: TJpg_Decoder.h
namespace fl {
namespace third_party {
    // Original TJpg_Decoder API preserved
    class TJpg_Decoder {
        JRESULT drawJpg(int32_t x, int32_t y, const uint8_t array[], size_t array_size);
        // ... Arduino-style callback-based API
    };
}
}

// File: fl/codec/jpeg.h
namespace fl {
    // Clean FastLED API
    class Jpeg {
        static bool decode(const JpegDecoderConfig& config,
                          fl::span<const fl::u8> data,
                          Frame* frame,
                          fl::string* error_message = nullptr);
    };
}

// File: fl/codec/jpeg.cpp
namespace fl {
    class TJpgDecoder : public IDecoder {
        fl::third_party::TJpg_Decoder decoder_;  // Wrapped third-party code
        // Bridge implementation that converts between APIs
    };
}
```

### 6. **Guidelines for Third-Party Integration**

When adding new third-party libraries to FastLED:

1. **Always use `fl::third_party` namespace** - Non-negotiable requirement
2. **Preserve original APIs** - Don't modify third-party code unnecessarily
3. **Create FastLED wrappers** - Provide clean C++ APIs following project conventions
4. **Document boundaries clearly** - Make it obvious what's third-party vs. FastLED native
5. **Handle type conversions** - Bridge between third-party types and FastLED types
6. **Manage memory correctly** - Use FastLED memory management patterns in wrappers

This architecture ensures FastLED remains maintainable, extensible, and free from the complexities often introduced by direct third-party library integration.

## Current Working API

The JPEG decoder is now fully functional and integrated into FastLED. Here's how to use it:

### Basic Usage

```cpp
#include "fl/codec/jpeg.h"

// Simple decode to new Frame
fl::JpegDecoderConfig config;
config.format = fl::PixelFormat::RGB888;
config.quality = fl::JpegDecoderConfig::Medium;

fl::string error;
auto frame = fl::Jpeg::decode(config, jpeg_data_span, &error);
if (!frame) {
    printf("JPEG decode failed: %s\n", error.c_str());
}
```

### Advanced Configuration

```cpp
// Custom configuration
fl::JpegDecoderConfig config;
config.quality = fl::JpegDecoderConfig::High;  // High quality (1:1 scaling)
config.format = fl::PixelFormat::RGBA8888;      // With alpha channel
config.maxWidth = 1920;                         // Size limits
config.maxHeight = 1080;

// Decode to existing Frame
fl::Frame myFrame(width, height);
bool success = fl::Jpeg::decode(config, jpeg_data, &myFrame, &error);
```

### Platform Support

```cpp
// Check if JPEG decoding is available
if (fl::Jpeg::isSupported()) {
    // JPEG decoding available
} else {
    // Platform doesn't support JPEG
}
```

### Integration with FastLED Codecs

The JPEG decoder integrates seamlessly with FastLED's codec architecture:
- Uses `fl::PixelFormat` for output format specification
- Compatible with `Frame` and `FramePtr` types
- Follows FastLED error handling conventions
- Works with `fl::span<const fl::u8>` for input data

## Unit Test Design

Existing test framework: `tests/codec_jpeg.cpp`

### Current Test Coverage
- ✅ **Availability Testing**: `Jpeg::isSupported()` detection
- ✅ **Factory Testing**: `Jpeg::decode()` static methods
- ✅ **Lifecycle Testing**: `begin()`, `end()`, and state management
- ✅ **Configuration Testing**: `JpegConfig` parameter validation
- ✅ **Error Handling**: Null stream and invalid input handling

### Additional Tests Required for TJpg Integration

#### Phase 1: Basic Functionality
```cpp
TEST_CASE("JPEG TJpg decoder initialization") {
    // Test TJpgDecoder specific initialization
    // Verify workspace allocation
    // Check namespace wrapping
}

TEST_CASE("JPEG valid file decoding") {
    // Test with minimal valid JPEG data
    // Verify frame dimensions and pixel data
    // Check memory allocation patterns
}
```

#### Phase 2: Format Support
```cpp
TEST_CASE("JPEG pixel format conversion") {
    // Test RGB888, RGB565, RGBA8888 output formats
    // Verify color space conversion accuracy
    // Check byte ordering and alignment
}

TEST_CASE("JPEG scaling and quality") {
    // Test JpegConfig::Quality mapping to TJpg scale factors
    // Verify image scaling (1/1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8)
    // Performance benchmarks for different settings
}
```

#### Phase 3: Edge Cases & Performance
```cpp
TEST_CASE("JPEG large image handling") {
    // Test maxWidth/maxHeight enforcement
    // Memory usage validation
    // Progressive JPEG support
}

TEST_CASE("JPEG malformed data") {
    // Truncated files, invalid headers
    // Error recovery and cleanup
    // Memory leak detection
}

TEST_CASE("JPEG stress testing") {
    // Multiple decode operations
    // Concurrent decoder instances
    // Memory fragmentation scenarios
}
```

### Test Data Requirements
- **Minimal JPEG**: 1x1 pixel valid JPEG for basic tests
- **Format Samples**: RGB/Grayscale/Progressive variants
- **Size Variants**: Small (64x64) to large (1920x1080) images
- **Malformed Data**: Corrupted headers, truncated streams

### Integration with Existing Test Suite
