This PR fixes the static buffer issue in writercwtdata() by replacing it with dynamic allocation.
The buffer is allocated lazily on first use and proper error handling is added.

Fixes #2091

Please let me know if you’d like any changes or improvements. Thanks

- Converted static cbbuffer array to dynamically allocated memory
- Added malloc with lazy initialization on first function call
- Added proper error handling for allocation failures
- Added debug logging for buffer allocation
- Improves memory efficiency by only allocating when needed
