Crate lvqr_codec 

Codec parsers for LVQR.

This crate is Tier 2.2 of the roadmap (tracking/ROADMAP.md). It owns the “given raw codec-private bytes, produce enough information to build an init segment and a FragmentMeta” surface. Every protocol crate that terminates an ingest source (WHIP, SRT, RTSP, RTMP) eventually calls into one of the modules here.

Scope

• hevc: HEVC (H.265) SPS parsing. Extracts profile / tier / level / resolution from a raw NAL unit. This is the bare minimum needed for a codec string (hev1.<profile>.<compat>.L<level>.<constraint>) and for an fMP4 hvc1 / hev1 sample entry. Full scaling-list parsing is intentionally not implemented; that is only needed for pixel- accurate decoding, which LVQR never does.
• aac: Hardened AAC AudioSpecificConfig parser that correctly decodes the 5-bit + 6-bit escape object-type encoding, the 15-index explicit-frequency encoding, and HE-AAC / HE-AAC v2 SBR/PS signals. Replaces the 2-byte ASC assumption baked into lvqr-ingest::remux::fmp4::esds.
• bit_reader: a forward-only MSB-first bit reader with exp-Golomb decoders, shared across codec modules.
• error: one error type, CodecError.

Future modules (VP9, AV1, Opus) land in this crate when the egress protocol crates need them.

Testing

Every parser ships a proptest harness (never-panic on arbitrary input) in tests/proptest_*.rs. Integration tests with real encoder output live in tests/integration_*.rs. The crate is in scope for the 5-artifact test contract at tests/CONTRACT.md.
