bytewise key-encoding on sub-level causes not found on other level

I’m getting odd behavior when using bytewise encoding on a sublevel. The intention is have bytewise encode a number to lex-sortable key, and then have that key appended on the end of the sub-level. It works if I write one value, but the moment I write a second, I can’t read keys from other nested subs. Any idea where I’m going wrong? Docs says a sub-level must encode to a buffer and bytewise should be doing just that.

var sub = require('subleveldown')
var memdown = require('memdown')
var levelup = require('levelup');
var encoding = require('encoding-down');
var bytewise = require('bytewise');
var msgpack = require('msgpack-lite');
var {streamToRx} = require('rxjs-stream');

var db = levelup(encoding(memdown()));

var test1= sub(db, "logs", {valueEncoding: "json" });
var test2 = sub(db, "data");
var nested1 = sub(test2, '1234', { keyEncoding: bytewise, valueEncoding: msgpack })

async function main(){
  await test1.put("1234", "FOO");

  console.log("Got: " + await test1.get("1234"));
  console.log("put one..")
  await nested1.put(10,  10);

  console.log("Got: " + await test1.get("1234"));

  await dumpKeys(db);

  await nested1.put(20,  20);
  console.log("put another..")

  await dumpKeys(db);

  console.log(await test1.get("1234"));

  await dumpKeys(db);
}

async function dumpKeys(db){
  console.log("DUMP:")
  await streamToRx(db.createKeyStream()).forEach(x=>console.log(" " + x.toString()));
}

main().catch(console.log);

Console output:

fixed - still failing. I’ve also made sure that my local version of level-codec with your suggested change (https://github.com/Level/codec/compare/master...MeirionHughes:master) is defiantly being loaded.

… anyway I can use charwise and keep all my keys as strings for now.

okaydoky I’ll test if that fixes my unit-test locally then do the pr.
