is there a document that describes each of the fields in the game archive files?
specifically what do all the termination codes mean?

This must be documented somewhere, but I can't find it either. From my own memory:
g - goal
m - immobilization
e - elimination
t - timeout
r - resignation
i - illegal move
a - abandoned
p - repetition of position (obsolete)
d - draw (obsolete)
It used to be that repeating position a third time was a loss; now it is an illegal move. Humans are not allowed to make illegal moves, and in particular not allowed to lose by three-fold repetition, but bots who submit illegal moves lose without getting a second chance.
It used to be that eliminating all rabbits from one player didn't end the game and eliminating all rabbits from both players was a draw.
Probably this list is incomplete and/or incorrect; corrections are welcome.

so games that actually get to a valid end-state without issues will only be "g,m, or e" ?

Those are the only three on-the-board victory conditions. The other terminations are off-the-board circumstances that arise and must be handled.
