Speaking of documentation, I see almost no comments in the code.

It all looks reasonable, but this takes self-documenting to an extreme.

The code is not very self-documenting either. There are >50 line long functions with mixed levels of abstraction, and error handling code is completely mixed with logic. I find such code quite hard to read and lack of comments doesn't help.
