All six describe code that does something different from what they say, which is the class of defect that gets a maintainer to write a bug on purpose. docs/clpi.md presented the CLPI stream-PID entry as byte-aligned 2/2/2/4/4-byte fields with a 32-bit fine-entry count. It is one 80-bit packed block — reserved(10) + EP_stream_type(4) + num_EP_coarse(16) + num_EP_fine(18) + EP_map_start_address(32) — and num_EP_fine is 18 bits. Anyone parsing to the doc's offsets would read garbage. Replaced with the real bit layout. docs/udf.md said read_directory()'s recursion cap is 3; MAX_DIR_DEPTH is 8. TROUBLESHOOTING.md called Pass 1 `recovery::copy`. The engine's `sweep` is documented as "Pass 1 of a multipass rip"; `copy` is the dispatch verb that chooses between sweep and patch. This inconsistency was mine, introduced in the 1.6.0 doc rewrite. docs/drive-access.md already said `sweep` and was right — a round-2 finding claimed the opposite on the grounds that `recovery::sweep` appears nowhere else in this crate, which it cannot, being in another crate. io/pipeline.rs cited `disc::patch` as WRITE_THROUGH_DEPTH's caller; that moved to freemkv-engine in 1.6.0 and no `patch` exists here. truehd.rs's doc on mlp_major_sync_crc_ok said the trailer is compared big-endian while the body compares u16::from_le_bytes — and a big-endian compare was the bug the function was fixed for, so the comment described the defect rather than the code. sector/decrypting.rs claimed the decorator owns "the only mutable state (its call-count cap and spent flag)". DecryptingSectorSource has no such fields and no KeyFetch field at all in this revision.

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 | What this crate owns of the recovery model: single-shot Drive::read, SenseFamily, DiscStream batch halving (the strategy itself moved to freemkv-engine in 1.6.0) |
| 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:
- Disc to Rip — the big picture
- Architecture — how modules fit together
- Drive Access — how we talk to hardware
- UDF → MPLS → CLPI — how disc content is structured
- AACS — how encryption works and how we break it
