✅ COMPLETED:
- Cross-client Produce compatibility (kafka-go + Sarama)
- Fetch API version validation (v0-v11)
- ListOffsets v2 parsing (replica_id, isolation_level)
- Fetch v5 response structure (18→78 bytes, ~95% Sarama compatible)
🔧 CURRENT STATUS:
- Produce: ✅ Working perfectly with both clients
- Metadata: ✅ Working with multiple versions (v0-v7)
- ListOffsets: ✅ Working with v2 format
- Fetch: 🟡 Nearly compatible, minor format tweaks needed
Next: Fine-tune Fetch v5 response for perfect Sarama compatibility
