Since the input fits in one chunk it’s hard to follow how it would work for larger inputs.
The “chunk loop” is only executed for one iteration so it requires careful reading to see how the state gets form one iteration to the next. (Hint: it’s the h0-h7 hash values).
Perhaps it could be stated that h0-h7 is the state that is carried over between iterations?
