- README quick-start gains a multi-pass example using the new Disc::copy + Disc::patch primitives. - New docs/rip-recovery.md documents the two-stage rip model: mapfile format (ddrescue-compatible), CopyOptions/PatchOptions surface, the pass-1/pass-2 algorithm, and the design decisions (why no MODE SELECT, why ISO intermediate, why ddrescue mapfile). No code change.

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 |
| 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 |

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
