//! Partition-table parsing, the policy the storage architecture places above the //! block driver and below the filesystem (docs/file-system-development/ //! storage-architecture.md): read the medium, decide what block sub-ranges are //! volumes, and read each volume's content identity. The block DRIVER never does //! this — it clamps ranges it is told about; this is what tells it the numbers. //! //! Reads happen through a `SectorReader` (not one preloaded block-0 slice) so the //! parser can reach GPT metadata at LBA 1, the entry array beyond it, and each //! partition's VBR on demand. The identity it returns is a tagged `Identity`: the //! `key` is the id (the mount path is derived from it — a stable, unique, //! content-derived handle), and `label` is display metadata (the FAT volume label //! or the GPT partition name), never part of the id.
