Can someone share some details on how the rocket is stabilized? There are a few different ways to do it -- how does this one work?

I assume it's some sort of gimbal control/vectoring of the thrust (since I don't see any 'extra' exhaust further up the rocket)
It gimbals the engine for pitch and yaw, and uses cold-gas thrusters for roll (around the vertical axis).
Yeah I think that's what it is unless told otherwise. Quite impressive stuff!
