How does bitrot protection actually work?
I understand the concept, but am curious how it is actually implemented on 6.2.0

I don't think that's possible. If the checksums at the filesystem level are all bad then one would expect the checksums at the md level to all be bad as well.
In any case bitrot protection is a great feature, but backups are still important. No important data should be stored on just the one device.
