AI Coding Instructions

• Pass a valid IPv4 address string to this function.
• Keep the returned value as a Uint8Array when passing address data to byte-oriented APIs.
• Handle invalid address input at the caller when the surrounding flow requires user-facing errors.
• Import the helper from src/utils/ipaddr.ts rather than duplicating address-to-byte conversion logic.
