 | `Builder::update_hash_from_stream(format, stream)` | Reads the asset stream and computes the hard-binding hash. Automatically selects the appropriate path based on format: `BmffHash` for BMFF (skips manifest box), `BoxHash` for chunk-based formats (creates assertion if needed), or `DataHash` (skips exclusion ranges). Takes a `std::istream&`. |
 | `Builder::sign_embeddable(format)` | Signs the manifest and returns bytes ready to embed. For placeholder workflows, it pads the output to match the placeholder size for in-place patching. For BoxHash workflows, the output is the actual signed manifest size (not padded), suitable for appending as a new chunk. |
 
+### Deprecated methods
+
+The c2pa-rs 0.92.0 removes C FFI functions behind some `Builder` methods. These methods will be removed when c2pa-c moves to c2pa-rs 0.92.0.

+| Deprecated method | Replacement |
+|-------------------|-------------|
+| `data_hashed_placeholder(reserved_size, format)` | `needs_placeholder(format)`, then `placeholder(format)`. The reserve size comes from the signer on the Context. |
+| `sign_data_hashed_embeddable(signer, data_hash, format, asset)` | `set_data_hash_exclusions(exclusions)`, `update_hash_from_stream(format, stream)`, then `sign_embeddable(format)`. The signer comes from the Context. |
+| `format_embeddable(format, data)` | `sign_embeddable(format)`, which returns bytes already formatted for `format`. |
