/**
 * Builds a {@link TlCodec} for a test client over the consumer's schema. The
 * fixed MTProto **protocol** schema is merged in automatically, exactly like the
 * gateway does — so the client speaks both the handshake/service types and the
 * app's business types. Decode is by wire id (layer-agnostic); encode is by name
 * (first registration wins), matching the gateway.
 *
 * @param schemaDirs - the app's business `.tl` directory (or several).
 * @param protocolOverrideDir - optional override for the bundled protocol (dir or
 *   `.tl`); its defs win clashes, so a test client speaks the same overridden
 *   protocol (e.g. an `initConnection` with extra fields) as the server.
 *
 * @example
 * ```ts
 * const codec = createCodec(schemaDir)
 * const session = await TestSession.open(url, publicKey, codec)
 * ```
