 ### Rar Format Notes
 
 - RAR5 encrypted headers and data accept KDF counts from 0 through 24 (the binary logarithm of the PBKDF2 iteration count), matching UnRAR's acceptance limit. Larger counts are rejected before key derivation.
+- RAR companion filenames use the same exact-match-first, case-insensitive fallback as ZIP, with ambiguous fallback matches rejected.
 - Encrypted ciphertext must contain complete AES blocks. Truncation throws `InvalidFormatException` on synchronous reads or `IncompleteArchiveException` on asynchronous reads.
