When unicode_decode_call_errorhandler_writer() processes a replacement string of length 1 and the error handler rewinds the input position (increasing remaining input), the original code failed to account for the replacement length in writer.min_length calculations. This resulted in assertion failures when writer capacity was insufficient after writing the replacement: assert(end - s <= writer.size - writer.pos). The fix ensures the full replacement length is always included in writer.min_length, regardless of replacement size, maintaining the buffer capacity invariant for all decoders using this error helper.

Fixes assertion failure in Unicode escape decoding when using custom error handlers that return single-character replacements and rewind input position.
Root Cause
The issue occurs in unicode_decode_call_errorhandler_writer() when:
This led to assertion failures in debug builds.
