//! H.264 CABAC bin-level decoder for paired stego decode (Phase 6D.2).
//!
//! Symmetric to [`super::encoder`] / [`super::CabacEncoder`] — same
//! arithmetic engine, opposite direction. Decodes the same syntax
//! elements that the encoder emits, in the same order, using the same
//! context tables. By construction (paired implementation under our
//! control) the decoder reads back exactly what the encoder wrote.
//!
//! ## Scope
//!
//! This module implements **just enough CABAC parsing to locate stego
//! positions**. We do NOT reconstruct pixels, run intra/inter
//! prediction, or deblock — the goal is purely to walk the bitstream
//! and emit a [`PositionKey`](crate::codec::h264::stego::PositionKey)
//! for every bypass bin in our four target domains
//! ([`EmbedDomain`](crate::codec::h264::stego::EmbedDomain)).
//!
//! Total scope is ~3500 LOC vs ~12K for a full reference decoder.
//!
//! ## Module structure (mirrors `cabac/`):
//!   - [`engine`] — `CabacDecodeEngine`, the spec § 9.3.3.2 arithmetic decoder
//!   - [`syntax`] — per-syntax-element decoders mirroring `cabac/encoder.rs`
//!   - [`positions`] — position tracker that emits `PositionKey`s during parse
//!   - [`slice`] — top-level slice walker
//!
//! See `docs/design/h264-encoder-algorithms/stego-encode-time-architecture.md`
//! § A3 for scope rationale and § 12 ("6D.2 — slice boundary handling")
//! for the single-slice constraint that this decoder honours.
