+/// A placeholder implementation of the bucket transfer protocol.
+///
+/// This struct serves as a temporary or stub implementation of
+/// [`BucketTransferProtocol`], intended for use in contexts where
+/// actual data transfer is not required (e.g., testing, scaffolding,
+/// or as a default before a real implementation is provided).
+///
+/// Calling any of the transfer methods on this implementation will
+/// result in a panic with `unreachable!()`, signaling that the
+/// placeholder should be replaced before use.
