These three modules were ported from NewPipeExtractor in Phase 1 as
part of the spine. Nothing in the YT extractor (channel/search/stream/
playlist/linkhandler) imports them, and the strawcore wrapper crate
that consumes us doesn't re-export them either. Per the round-2
audit's cruft inventory, this is ~195 LOC of dead surface shipping
to every Android APK.
* page.rs — Page continuation carrier; continuation tokens flow
through the codebase as plain Strings.
* metainfo.rs — NPE MetaInfo info-card struct; no extractor
populates it.
* service.rs — StreamingService trait + ServiceInfo + LinkType;
zero impls exist anywhere.
Wrapper does not need to change — none of the pub use re-exports
crossed the crate boundary.

strawcore
Rust port of NewPipeExtractor (v0.26.2), YouTube-only. Plugs into Straw via UniFFI.
Why this exists
rustypipe regex-parses YouTube's player.js and reimplements the signature deobfuscator in Rust. Every YT player rotation breaks it. NPE embeds Mozilla Rhino and executes the JS function live — resilient by design, and that's the architecture we're mirroring.
The rustypipe-backed Straw build (vc=15..17) also routed playback through iOS-progressive URLs, which hit a server-side ~917 KiB end-byte cap. NPE uses the Android client + po_token → DASH manifest path, which doesn't see the cap. Same fix, different layer.
See memory/npe-audit-2026-05-24/SPEC.md in the workspace repo for the full plan.
