MattJackson 022657d481 docs: complete 0.13.6 docs sweep (architecture, api-design, disc-to-rip, README)
Follow-up to the rip-recovery + drive-access updates: aligns the
remaining docs with the v0.13.6 single-shot read model and the
three-layer recovery architecture.

- architecture.md: module map says single-shot read; new paragraph on
  layered recovery with postmortem pointer.
- api-design.md: EventKind enum example expanded; emission notes
  document that BytesRead now fires from DiscStream::fill_extents and
  Retry/SectorRecovered are no longer emitted in 0.13.6+.
- disc-to-rip.md: Step 10 of the pipeline diagram + module table
  reflect single-shot read.
- docs/README.md: added rip-recovery.md to the TOC.

libfreemkv Documentation

Technical documentation for libfreemkv, the open source optical drive library.

Start Here

Disc to Rip: End-to-End Flow — How the library goes from a disc in the drive to decrypted content. Read this first.

Reference

Document What it covers
Architecture Module map, design principles, error codes, platform support
Drive Access Drive, SCSI transport, profiles, unlock, why raw mode is needed
Rip Recovery Three-layer recovery model: Disc::patch, single-shot Drive::read, DiscStream batch halving
AACS Encryption Key resolution (4 paths), content decryption, bus encryption, SCSI handshake
UDF Filesystem UDF 2.50 with metadata partitions, pointer chain, how files are read from disc
MPLS Playlists Playlist format, play items, STN stream table, coding types
CLPI Clip Info EP map (coarse + fine entries), timestamp-to-sector mapping, extent calculation
API Design Stream API design, PES pipeline, input/output resolution

Reading Order

If you want to understand the whole library:

  1. Disc to Rip — the big picture
  2. Architecture — how modules fit together
  3. Drive Access — how we talk to hardware
  4. UDFMPLSCLPI — how disc content is structured
  5. AACS — how encryption works and how we break it
