Summary
The Docs module currently has no article comparing stream vs block cipher constructions, even though the visualizer will (pending #2/#4 above) contain examples of both. This article ties the concept together for learners moving between cipher demos.
What's missing
- No MDX file in
content/docs/ covering this comparison topic
Proposed content
- New
.mdx file with required Zod frontmatter fields (per repo's docs-module contract in CONTRIBUTING.md)
- Covers: block vs stream construction, padding/IV handling, error propagation differences, when each is chosen in real protocols (TLS cipher suites as example), with backtick-tag auto-links to existing visualizer entries (e.g.
`AES`, `XOR`) using the repo's existing auto-linking MDX plugin
- Isolated file — does not touch registry.ts/types.ts/worker.ts, so no merge-conflict risk with issues 1–4
Acceptance criteria
Assignment
I'd like to work on this issue under ECSoC26. Will open a PR only after approval/assignment by @csxark or another maintainer.
