I am unfortunately not familiar with this part of the system and I'd need to summon help from experts, but it looks rather nicely done.

I saw a few places that said "crnl" instead of "crlf" in the documentation, which I munged locally before queuing.

I noticed kopts_from_path in patch 3/3 takes $srcType of "sha1Or-k" but I could not spot which caller gives such token to the function.
