+- The shared state is a set of caches and pools whose entries are immutable
+  once published, each growing with the number of distinct types rather than
+  with document size: the struct-schema cache in `decode.go` (a `sync.Map`
+  keyed on `reflect.Type`, holding the flattened field layout the decoder and
+  the encoder both consult), the per-type interface flag caches in `decode.go`
+  and `encode.go` (recording where `Marshaler`, `Unmarshaler` and the text
+  interfaces can be found, so a walk builds an interface value only where the
+  assertion can succeed), each fronted by a monomorphic hint holding the type
+  resolved last, and the encoder's output-buffer pool in `encode.go`
+  (`sync.Pool`, buffers returned to it only within a 1 MiB retention cap). A
+  published schema or flag set never mutates, so concurrent callers only race
+  to build an identical value, the same trade-off `encoding/json`'s field
+  cache makes.
 - The date-time wrappers are values, not pointers, and are immutable in use.
-- Nothing in the library starts goroutines; apart from the schema cache above,
-  which never mutates a published entry, there is no shared mutable state.
