This avoids unnecessary allocations/reallocations while decoding a message by pre-sizing the buffer to the amount we know it will require. I feel like there's probably a better way to handle this, but this works for now.
I should probably turn the semi-colon linter off since I really dislike the semi-colons everywhere, but it's probably too late for that at this point in the project.
Added verification of broadcast response message size
Added clearer handling of message types
I'm sure there's a better way to do debug logging, but I don't really feel like adding a dependency on another module just for that.
