- Key evidence reads the filesystem in batches with the metadata partition
prefetched, not one command per sector (~1 s on a USB UHD).
- The live Blu-ray scan prefetches only the files it parses (~22 MB and
three long seeks less on a UHD). The MKB is read from a 4 MiB prefix with
its record headers walked; its bytes are unchanged.
- macOS: no fixed 500 ms sleep after unmounting before claiming the drive.
- FMTS discs use the trusted CPS path; unit-key samples skip forensic
segment units. The parity_image_fmts_alternate_phase golden changes only
in request count, on a fixture title under two keys (not a real disc).
Every input decrypts through one stage that detects its content, with
strict stale-CPI handling and partial units only at EOF. Damage no
longer ends a rip where usable content remains (E7031, UDF FID,
MPLS/CLPI truncation, whole-disc E7032). M2TS output declares tracks in
an HDMV PMT and paces PCR; network:// allows LAN and loopback and
is_blocked_ip is public; parity goldens pin today's outputs.
