 ## Package Overview
 
 vroom reads and writes rectangular text data (CSV, TSV, fixed-width files). It uses R's Altrep framework for lazy evaluation - indexing file structure quickly, then parsing values on-demand as they're accessed. Multi-threading is used for indexing, materializing non-character columns, and writing. vroom powers readr's Edition 2 and is part of the tidyverse ecosystem.

-## Key Technical Details
-
-**Architecture**
-- Two-phase operation: (1) quick multi-threaded indexing to locate field boundaries and line positions, (2) lazy parsing via Altrep vectors that parse values on access
-- C++ code uses cpp11 interface (in `src/`) with memory mapping (mio library) for efficient file access
-- Main R code in `R/` provides user-facing API and column specification system (shared with readr)
-- Key C++ components: `delimited_index.cc/.h` (indexing), `altrep.cc/.h` (lazy vectors), `collectors.h` (type-specific parsing), `DateTimeParser.h` (temporal data)
+## libvroom Architecture
+
+libvroom (`src/libvroom/`, vendored from `~/p/libvroom`) is a high-performance CSV parser using portable SIMD instructions (via Google Highway), based on a speculative multi-threaded two-pass algorithm from Chang et al. (SIGMOD 2019) and SIMD techniques from Langdale & Lemire (simdjson). It outputs parsed data in Arrow columnar format for zero-copy interop with R.
+
+### Parsing Pipeline
+
+Four-phase pipeline (Polars-inspired):
+
+1. **SIMD Analysis** — Memory-map the file, detect encoding (UTF-8/16/32/Latin1 via BOM + heuristics), detect CSV dialect (delimiter, quote char) via consistency scoring. Dual-state chunk analysis: single SIMD pass computes stats for both starting quote states, then resolves via forward propagation. Optionally caches chunk boundaries to disk (`~/.cache/libvroom/`).
+2. **Parallel Chunk Parsing** — Thread pool dispatches chunks to workers. Each thread uses `SplitFields` iterator (SIMD boundary caching, 64 bytes/iteration) and SIMD integer parsing (`simd_atoi`), appending directly to thread-local `ArrowColumnBuilder` instances.
+3. **Type Inference** — Sample first N rows; try parsing as BOOL → INT32 → INT64 → FLOAT64 → DATE → TIMESTAMP → STRING, promoting types as needed.
+4. **Column Building** — Workers build columns in Arrow format (packed null bitmap with lazy init, contiguous NumericBuffer/StringBuffer). Merge is O(1) for strings (move pointers), O(n) for numerics (copy+append).

+### R Integration (src/)
+
+The R package bridges libvroom's Arrow output to R data structures:
+
+| File | Purpose |
+|------|---------|
+| `vroom_new.cpp` | New libvroom-based `vroom()` entry point: streaming API (`start_streaming()` / `next_chunk()`) |
+| `arrow_to_r.cpp/.h` | Converts `ArrowColumnBuilder`s to R data frame; numeric cols copy to R vectors, string cols wrap in Altrep or materialize |
+| `altrep.cc/.h` | R Altrep (lazy) vectors backed by Arrow string buffers — near-instant for deferred materialization |
+| `vroom_arrow.cpp` | Arrow C Data Interface export (RecordBatch/Stream) |
+| `cpp11.cpp` | Generated cpp11 bindings registering C++ functions callable from R |
+| `delimited_index.cc/.h` | Legacy two-pass indexer (being replaced by libvroom) |
+| `vroom_*.cc/.h` | Legacy per-type column implementations (being replaced) |
+
+Integration flow:
+```
+R: vroom(path)
+  → cpp11: vroom_libvroom_()
+    → libvroom: CsvReader::open() + start_streaming()
+      → Parallel SIMD parsing → ParsedChunks
+    → arrow_to_r: columns_to_r() → R vectors
+    → altrep: Wrap strings in Altrep (deferred materialization)
+  → R: tibble returned to user
+```
+
+### Build (Makevars)
+
+Source categories compiled into `vroom.so`:
+- **VROOM_SOURCES** (13 files): Legacy vroom C++ implementation
+- **LIBVROOM_SOURCES** (30 files): All libvroom implementation
+- **SIMDUTF_SOURCES** (1 file): UTF transcoding
