Description

    pub fn load<P: AsRef<Path> + std::fmt::Debug + Copy>(
        filename: P,
    ) -> Result<Self, Error> {

Having Copy is a weird bound here, because the other bounds ensure that we can convert to a &Path (which is trivially Copy)

Research direction

Locate RawHubrisArchive::load and inspect how its filename argument is converted to a &Path. Verify whether Copy is unnecessary, remove the redundant bound if so, and run the existing test suite or relevant archive tests to confirm the API still compiles and behaves correctly.
