There supposedly is a tv show or movie in production based on The Laundry universe. Stross does not share much details since NDA afaiu.

For people unaware it is a Delta Green meets It Crowd meets X-Files. At some point an iPhone with an occult software suite lands in the hands of the protagonist.

Magic is applied math in that universe.

Weirdly I can’t find lua references there

There are a few that someone just left behind in the 000s, but they can’t be relied on.

Unexplained, or just poorly documented?

Because there is, in the end, a logical explanation for everything even if it's "someone was stupid and/or a liar."
