Remarks

The reader is tolerant by design. RTF is thirty years old, has been written by every word processor and export pipeline ever shipped, and the resulting files disagree with the specification constantly — unbalanced braces, control words that predate or postdate the spec, code page declarations that lie. All of it parses to something predictable, and anything that cannot be represented in a Word document is reported through IConversionDiagnostics rather than dropped in silence.

No network or file-system access happens on a document's behalf. An embedded object that names an external file is reported and skipped; a document-driven fetch would be an SSRF surface.

Instances are stateless and safe for concurrent use; one read allocates one parse.
