Intern a repetitive string into the buffer's pool: identical content collapses * to a single heap copy owned by the pool. NULL maps to "{}" (matches * heap_strdup). The returned pointer is stable for the buffer's lifetime and * must never be freed or mutated by callers. Returns NULL only on OOM. */
