Research direction
Start by reviewing the unchecked items and the referenced RustCrypto/block-ciphers gost-modes directory, then read issue #4 for the variable-width Web CTR requirement and the linked tweakable block cipher modes paper. The issue is done only when the selected missing modes are implemented, while the broader checklist still leaves the exact scope to define.
