Matthew Jackson 698ba36ae4 Document the pack_language and detect_rate equivalent mutants
Three pack_language mutants and two detect_rate boundary mutants survive
mutation testing with no test able to close them, and it's not for lack
of trying: they're equivalent by construction. Recording the proofs next
to the code so nobody re-chases them:

- (b[0] - 0x60) as u16, shifted << 10 then truncated to u16, is congruent
  mod 65536 to (b[0] + 0x60) as u16 shifted the same way, because
  0x60 * 2 * 1024 is an exact multiple of 65536. The same swap on the
  second letter (shifted only << 5) is NOT equivalent, which is why only
  the first letter's mutant survives.
- The two | with ^ mutations that OR the three packed fields together
  are equivalent because the fields (a lowercase letter minus 0x60, so
  1..=26) always fit in 5 bits and never share a set bit once shifted
  into their 0/5/10 positions.
- detect_rate's tolerance and tie-break comparisons only diverge from
  their <= mutants on an exact 0.5 fps distance or an exact tie, and a
  brute-force search over every achievable integer-nanosecond median
  found no case that lands on either boundary bit-exactly.

Matthew Jackson 1eb8bdc9c7 Merge branch 'mux-mp4' into dev 2026-08-01 14:06:24 -07:00
Matthew Jackson 90a7fe2ff1 Assert the MP4 timing arithmetic, and name the faststart slack rule
MP4 track timing was numerically unasserted. Every operator in the
PTS-to-ticks, duration, tkhd_dur and ctts chain could be flipped and the
whole suite stayed green, because no test decoded an output file and checked
a concrete number — the existing tests assert box presence and gross
container shape only. That is the crate's worst failure mode: a title muxes
"successfully" with silently wrong A/V sync or total duration, and nothing
above can tell.

The new tests build tracks with known PTS deltas and compare the emitted
stts, ctts and tkhd.duration against computed values.

Also lifted the faststart slack rule out of the match guard into
faststart_fits(). A leftover hole of 1-7 bytes cannot be expressed as any
ISO-BMFF box, since a box header is 8 bytes, so finish() must fall back to
moov-at-end rather than write a free box that lies about its own size. The
condition now has a name and a test instead of being an unexplained
`g == 0 || g >= 8` inside a pattern guard.

Matthew Jackson 1b95d346bb Cite the H.264 spec directly, not a reference implementation
The escape-stripper comments named a third-party decoder as the authority
for the cumulative-zero rule. This repo is public and does not cite other
implementations; the rule is specified in ITU-T H.264 §7.3.1, which is the
citation that belongs here anyway.

No behaviour change — comments only. The scan-secrets gate caught it.

Matthew Jackson 3ecb2510e8 Assert what the MKV mux and demux actually produce
A mutation run over mux/mkv.rs and mux/mkvstream.rs left 148 survivors.
Reading them turned up no wrong code, but a lot of code whose output
nothing ever looked at. Most of that is on the read side: parse_track
had a dedicated arm for Language, TrackName, FlagForced, Video and
Channels and not one of them was checked, so a re-mux could have lost
the audio language, the subtitle forced flag, every track label, the
resolution and the channel layout with the suite still green. Ten of
the eleven CodecID comparisons were unasserted too — only HEVC was
pinned — so any of them could have been mis-wired and the stream would
have gone to the wrong parser. The round-trip test now writes a real
three-track title through the muxer and reads it back through the
reader, and a separate test walks every registered CodecID.

The BPS statistics tag was the worst of the write side. Its test
asserted `file_bytes.contains("800")`, which a wrong bitrate passes
trivially — 80000 contains "800". Both the tag and the back-patched
Segment duration are now decoded and compared to a computed number, on
a title that declares no duration so the whole max_block_ticks →
seconds → bits chain is exercised. Cue points get the same treatment:
their CueTrack and CueClusterPosition were never read back, on either
the keyframe path or the i16-forced-split path, which are two hand-
written copies of the same three fields.

The rest closes arithmetic that only a bad disc reaches: a zero frame
rate or zero display-aspect denominator (both divisions), a
TimestampScale that does not fit an i64, a cluster timestamp of exactly
i64::MAX, a TrackNumber of 65537 that truncates onto the valid track 1,
and the shortest legal Block at both VINT widths. Two tests separate a
clean end of stream from a device failure: swallowing the second one
truncates the output at a bad sector and reports the rip complete.

Also pinned: only the first video and first audio track may be default
(the de-duplication lives in MkvStream::create and had no test at all),
the activation trigger is the first VIDEO track rather than track 0,
the measured field order reaches the file rather than just the helper
that computes it, and a Blu-ray 3D base/dependent pair builds the merge
instead of shipping two unrelated H.264 tracks.

96 of the 148 mutants verified killed by hand. Of the remainder, most
are equivalent — disjoint-bit `|` that `^` cannot change, delete-arm
mutants whose fallback is the same constant, guards on tracing calls —
and the write_frame branch at 1452 is unreachable: a cluster is always
open by the time it can be entered.

Matthew Jackson 048f125879 Kill codec mutation survivors and unify H.264's duplicated escape stripper
The mux/codec parsers (startcode, h264, hevc, dts) had 300 surviving
mutants between them, and it turned out to be for the reason you'd
fear: the exp-Golomb readers and the AU-boundary bitstream scanners had
essentially no direct unit coverage, only indirect exercise through
full-frame parse() calls that never touched the actual edge cases.

Direct fixes to test gaps:

- The shared BitReader's read_ue truncation guard (`leading_zeros >
  31`) and skip_start_code's 4-byte-vs-3-byte boundary check had no
  test at their exact boundary. Added tests that hit the boundary
  precisely; a `>=`/`==`/`<=` typo either rejects a legal 31-leading-
  zero code or reads one byte past the buffer.
- H.264's private SpsReader duplicates the same read_bits/read_ue
  shapes with no tests of its own at all (only reached through
  multi-field SPS parsing, several fields deep). Added direct tests.
- HEVC's per-AU trailing-zero strip after the last NAL (no start code
  following) walks `end` down to trim padding; a wrong-direction typo
  there walks off the end of the buffer instead of terminating -
  exactly the "loop must make positive progress on malformed input"
  class. Added a test with a zero-padded trailing NAL.
- HEVC's SEI match guards (`sei_mastering.is_none()` /
  `sei_content_light.is_none()`) implement "first HDR10 value in the
  title wins" - untested, and a naive test using both-messages-per-AU
  can't even exercise the guards because the whole-scan early return
  above them already handles that case. Split into single-message-
  per-AU tests that actually reach the arms.
- parse_mastering_display/parse_content_light_level's length guards
  were `< N` with no boundary test; one-byte-short input now confirmed
  to return None instead of indexing out of bounds.
- DTS's drain_front collapses duplicate offset-0 PTS markers after
  rebasing; untested, and the visible effect (front_pts()) can't tell
  a working collapse from a broken one since it already returns the
  right marker either way - the actual defect is unbounded growth of
  pts_marks over a long recording, so the new test asserts the bound
  directly across repeated drains.
- DTS's dts_core_samples/dts_core_sample_rate header-length guard and
  next_core_boundary's syncword-length guard got exact-boundary tests
  the same way; also caught a nblks `<<`/`>>` direction bug candidate
  in the mutant (confirmed the real code is correct, just untested).

Real bug found and fixed, not just a test gap:

H.264's parse_sps_high_profile_ext re-implemented emulation-prevention
byte stripping inline (a window scan: match `00 00 03` at position i,
advance 3, else advance 1) instead of calling the existing
unescape_ebsp_prefix used by slice-header parsing. On a run of 3+ real
zero bytes ahead of an 0x03 - non-conformant, but this is disc bytes,
not a spec-clean encoder - the two disagreed: unescape_ebsp_prefix's
cumulative zero counter (matching the H.264 reference decode process
and libavcodec's RBSP extractor) treats it as an escape and drops the
0x03; the window scan treats it as real payload and keeps it,
corrupting the SPS bits read after it. Extracted the shared rule into
`unescape_ebsp` (parameterized on output length so both the 16-byte
slice-header prefix and the unbounded SPS case can share it) and
pointed both call sites at the one implementation. Added a regression
test pinning the shared function's behaviour on the input that used to
separate them.

All new tests hand-verified against the actual mutation (operator
flipped or guard replaced by hand, confirmed red, then restored) per
the mutation-testing brief, not just written and trusted.

Matthew Jackson 65dbcb1ca6 Close mutation-testing gaps in the TS/PS mux (ts.rs, ps.rs, tsmux.rs)
A 12,330-mutant run left 159 survivors across these three files, all from
missing assertions rather than wrong code — every gap here is a test, no
production logic changed.

Two shapes accounted for most of them:

- Buffer-cap constants (MAX_PES_BUFFER_TOTAL, MAX_PS_BUFFER,
  MAX_BD_PES_PAYLOAD, PES_BUFFER_INIT_CAP) were only ever read by tests
  through their own symbol, so a mutated `*`/`-` in the constant's
  definition changes what the symbol itself evaluates to and every
  self-referential assertion still passes. Pinned each against a literal
  computed independently in the test.

- Several `>`/`==` boundary checks on framing lengths (MPEG-2 pack header,
  system header, BD-TS adaptation field) were only ever exercised with
  slack in the buffer, never at the exact byte the check exists for.
  Added exact-fit cases for the pack header, system header, and
  psi_payload_base's AF-consumes-everything boundary.

Real, higher-value gaps closed along the way:

- ts.rs's per-PID discontinuity_flag and the NULL-TS concealment marker
  both require adaptation_field_length > 0 before trusting the AF flags
  byte; neither branch had a test proving af_len == 0 (no flags byte at
  all, ordinary payload underneath) is left alone.
- header_remaining (PES header spillover across TS packets) only had
  single-continuation-packet coverage, which can't distinguish `-=` from
  `+=`/`*=` because the corrupted value never gets read again. Added a
  case spanning two continuations.
- ps.rs's parse_stream_id_extension (used for HD-DVD 0xFD routing) walks
  nine optional PES-header/extension fields with a `pos +=` each; only
  the PTS/DTS pair had ever been exercised. One test now arms every
  field and checks the walk lands on the right byte.
- find_ps_boundary's `sc + 3 >= len` guard had no test at sc == 0 with a
  bare 3-byte start code, the case a `+` -> `-` mutation turns into a
  debug-mode subtract-overflow panic on ordinary tail-of-buffer input.
- tsmux.rs: an oversized video access unit must go out as a single
  unbounded-length PES; the `is_video || small-enough` guard that
  enforces this had no test with a video frame actually over the
  bounded-PES threshold, so a `||` -> `&&` mutant survived (it would
  silently split a keyframe across several look-alike-independent PES
  units). Also pinned the PES-length and PTS big-endian encodes at
  values above 255 / with bit 29+ set, where a `>>`/`<<` swap first
  becomes observable.

Every test above was verified by hand: applied the exact mutation,
confirmed the test fails (or the specific panic fires), then reverted.

Left unclosed, all confirmed equivalent by hand-tracing rather than
just left alone:
- Every `<<8 | byte` PID/length bit-combine (ts.rs pid/PAT/PMT parsing,
  ps.rs dvd_audio_pid/hddvd_extended_pid/parse_pts): the two halves
  never share a bit, so `|` and `^` produce identical output for every
  input - no test can tell them apart.
- ts.rs's `af_len > 183` check in process_packet: fully subsumed by the
  `payload_start >= TS_PACKET_BYTES` check three lines later for every
  af_len that could trip it.
- ts.rs's out-of-range `pid_index` sentinel (-1 vs 1): unreachable, since
  a TS PID is masked to 13 bits (max 8191) and the table is always sized
  to at least 8192.
- A cluster of "push an empty slice on an exact boundary" mutants in
  tsmux.rs's write_pes_chain (offset < hdr_len, af_bytes stuffing
  guards): the guarded write becomes a length-0 write_all, a no-op
  either way.

Not reached this pass, for lack of a clean seam within the time
available - ps.rs's extract_packets bounded-PES-length exact-fit
checks (lines 278/282/303, the `sc+6>len` / `sc+6+pes_len>len` /
force-flush cap arithmetic). The first two need a scenario where
"proceed vs. wait one more byte" is observable in the packet list, and
the third only shows up at a start-code offset (sc) that survives to
the moment the cap check runs - in this code path sc is always 0 once
an unbounded PES buffer starts accumulating, since nothing before it
ever drains. Didn't find a construction in the time available; flagged
rather than papered over with a self-referential assert.

Matthew Jackson 528a6b7345 Walk past empty extents iteratively instead of recursing
fill_extents skipped an exhausted or zero-sector extent by calling itself,
which costs a stack frame per skipped extent. Nothing filters
sector_count == 0 out of a UDF or MPLS extent list, so a malformed disc
declaring a long run of empty extents recursed once per extent before
reading a single sector. Rust does not guarantee tail-call elimination, so
that overflows the stack — which aborts the process rather than returning
an io::Error, taking a long-running service down with it.

The skip is now a loop. The regression test runs on a 256 KiB stack, where
the recursive version dies and the loop finishes immediately.

Matthew Jackson 71686f1407 Lint the test code, and fix the 74 findings it had been hiding
Every other repo's CI now runs clippy with --all-targets. libfreemkv,
the crate the other seven build against and the one held up as the
reference workflow, was the last one still linting the library only — so
its ~3,000 tests, by far the largest body of test code in the project,
had never been linted at all. Turning the flag on surfaced 74 findings.

Most were mechanical and applied with clippy --fix. The rest, by hand:

- Four discarded Results in decrypt.rs. css::descramble_region returns a
  Result and four CSS tests threw it away, so a descramble that FAILED
  would have surfaced as a confusing buffer-comparison mismatch instead
  of the actual error. They expect() now.
- A dead `kp` field on the PlantedWalk fixture. The test deliberately
  asserts Kp as the explicit AES-G3(dk, 1) relation from [C] §3.2.4
  rather than against a stored value — its doc comment says so — which
  makes the field not just unused but a trap: the obvious "fix" of
  asserting against it would quietly weaken the test to comparing the
  fixture with itself. Removed.
- Two hand-rolled ICB counters in the HD-DVD fixtures, a needless mut,
  three vec!s that only ever needed arrays, a filter_map whose every arm
  was Some, and a Vec::new()+push chain.
- Doc list indentation in mkv.rs and mp4/read.rs, which was mis-rendering
  in the generated docs.
- A five-[u8; 16]-tuple return type named FourLevelParts.

Three lints are allowed at the specific sites, with reasons, because
they are wrong for this domain: the underscores in the bitstream-header
literals mark BITFIELD boundaries, not digit groups, so regrouping them
uniformly would satisfy the lint by destroying the only thing they
encode; and in three table-validation loops the loop variable is the
domain value under test (a DTS SFREQ code, an AMODE value, a palette
entry number), which is what the assertion messages name.

Matthew Jackson 42591c77fc test: constrain the AC-3/E-AC-3/DTS header decode and the boxes it emits
All 59 measured survivors in mp4/audio.rs: 50 killed, 9 proven
equivalent, none left unaddressed. No production change — every
extraction reads correct against ETSI TS 102 366 (5.3.2, 5.4.2, Annex
E.1.3, F.4, F.6.1) and TS 102 114 5.3.1.

It was a fixture gap, not a code defect, and a specific one: the
existing fixtures gave several fields the SAME value (fscod=0, bsmod=0,
lfeon=1, acmod=7) and asserted only derived channel counts. Nothing
asserted the emitted dac3/dec3/ddts payload BYTES at all, so the
packer's shifts and masks were entirely unconstrained. A wrong mask
there does not crash — it writes a box declaring the wrong channel
configuration, and a player believes it.

Several kills needed fixtures designed to discriminate rather than
merely exercise:

  the reduced-rate branch needed fscod == 3, which no test in the file
  reached — and `== -> !=` survived on an fscod=0 fixture only because
  the reduced table happens to return 48000 there too

  the DTS LFF mask needed a value where XOR and AND differ in MEANING:
  on the 5.1 fixtures LFF flips 1 -> 2 and BOTH codes mean "LFE present"

  the acmod mix-level skips needed three different acmods, because `^`
  is a no-op unless acmod == 4 exactly

  the ddts bitrate needed 44100/512, which does not divide evenly — at
  48000 the rounding is invisible and `/ -> %` on den/2 survives

The 9 equivalents are one pattern: OR-ing a shifted high part with a
masked low part on disjoint bit lanes, where the mask is on the same
line as the OR. Since cargo-mutants applies one mutation at a time, no
single mutant can break both. Each was applied and observed green.

FILED, not fixed: reserved sample-rate codes are silently guessed as
48 kHz (audio.rs:133, :20/:153) while a reserved DTS AMODE is refused
with a comment explaining why. Same silent-wrong-metadata class,
opposite answer. Refusing would make such a stream unmuxable, which is a
product call.

Matthew Jackson 5559987325 test(mux): replace a false-green discontinuity test with the property it named
a_signalled_discontinuity_survives_a_backstop_discard asserted that a
SOURCE-signalled discontinuity on discarded bytes still reaches the AU
that follows. It did not test that. Deleting the disc_marks push, or the
mark-retirement loop inside discard_gap_before, left it passing.

The mechanism: the `discontinuity = true` rode the FIRST over-cap push,
which still has the next AU's delimiter at buf[0] — so it force-flushes
as an over-long AU rather than discarding, and THAT AU consumes the
mark. The assertion's `.find(|x| x.data.contains(&0x22))` then filters
it out, and the flag it reads comes entirely from `pending_gap`, set by
the second push's backstop. Behaviourally identical to the test 40 lines
above it, under a name promising something else.

I wrote it this morning, in the same commit that fixed a different test
for having a fixture that never reached the code it named, while
cataloguing that exact shape. Third instance today of writing the bug I
was hunting.

The two mechanisms cannot be isolated in one fixture — a fragment that
trips the backstop sets pending_gap regardless — so they now get one
test each. The replacement drives disc_marks end to end with no backstop
involved: a flagged fragment that carries a complete AU and is emitted,
not discarded. Nothing else pinned that path. Removing the disc_marks
push reds it.

Found by the round-9 opus escalation over test quality, dispatched
because the sonnet pass over the same 17,000 lines of new test code
returned zero findings.
2026-07-30 20:07:11 -07:00
Matthew Jackson 8c0de5711e fix(mux): resync-gate drops reach errors(), including after the gap resolves
ResyncGate::dropped is zeroed the moment a keyframe disarms the gate,
and the only EOF warning fires for gates STILL armed. So a mid-title gap
that resolves left no trace anywhere — and most gaps do resolve. A rip
with several concealed gaps reported 0 errors and 0 lost bytes while
whole GOPs had been discarded, which disc.rs's own test comment calls
the ONLY channel through which loss is reported.

This is the other half of e99b634. Arming the gate after an 8 MiB
backstop discard is right — a picture with dangling references must not
ship — but until the drop is counted that trades silent corruption for
silent loss.

The gate now carries dropped_total alongside dropped: per-run answers
"how expensive was this gap", cumulative answers "what did the caller
lose". errors() sums the gates.

Summed in ONE place rather than counted at the three admit call sites.
Three copies of the same increment is how the mux-flush path ends up
counting and the main path not, or the reverse — the duplication shape
this release has been removing. The gate already knows its own total;
the accessor just has to ask.

Found independently by two round-9 lenses, which is what raised it from
plausible to worth acting on.

Both halves are pinned: removing the dropped_total increment reds the
resync test, and removing the sum from errors() reds the DiscStream one.
The second test asserts the ACCESSOR rather than the gate's counter,
because a test on the counter would have passed throughout the entire
period the defect existed.
2026-07-30 19:40:48 -07:00
Matthew Jackson 9f25a4c454 fix(mp4): refuse a video track with no resolved dimensions
Resolution::pixels() returned (0, 0) for Unknown, and the MP4 sink wrote
it verbatim into tkhd (ISO/IEC 14496-12 8.3.2) and VisualSampleEntry
(12.1.3). Both fields are MANDATORY there, so unlike Matroska — which
omits the optional PixelWidth/PixelHeight elements — MP4 has nothing to
leave out. The result was a structurally complete file that passes every
container check, declares a 0x0 video track, cannot be rendered, and is
written with no error anywhere.

WHY IT WAS POSSIBLE, which is the part worth keeping:

pixels() previously fabricated 1920x1080 for Unknown. That was wrong but
playable, so this sink never needed a guard and the absence of one was
invisible. Changing the sentinel to (0, 0) moved the defect instead of
removing it — a zero PAIR still reads as a usable value, so the sink
stored it and serialised it.

The accessor's doc comment then ENUMERATED the callers it believed were
safe: "the Matroska sink omits the optional elements, the VobSub writer
omits its size: line, and no caller divides by either dimension." Two of
those three are true. MP4 was not on the list because MP4 has no guard
at all, and a prose list cannot enforce itself. mkv.rs's own comment
even states the principle — "the check belongs in the one accessor
rather than in each caller that remembered to write it" — and
labels/mod.rs still carried its own duplicate Unknown test long after
the accessor took that job over.

So: pixels() now returns Option. Not because Option is tidier, but
because every caller genuinely needs a DIFFERENT answer and the compiler
is the only thing that reliably makes them choose one. Matroska and the
metadata sinks take unwrap_or((0, 0)) with the reason stated at each
site; the VobSub path degrades to a palette-only .idx; MP4 fails with
E_MP4_UNKNOWN_RESOLUTION (9055).

Six call sites, not the five my first grep showed — I piped it through
`head` and acted on a truncated list. The compiler caught the sixth.
That is the same mistake as trusting a lens that reported silence.
2026-07-30 19:34:54 -07:00
Matthew Jackson 944e6a8b09 fix: align the Linux fsync error with macOS, and clear three stale docs
Round 9 findings, triaged and verified against the pinned tree.

writeback_file: a bounded-fsync WorkerLost returned bare ErrorKind::Other
on Linux where macOS returns EIO. Round 8 fixed the Linux arm to return
Err at all — the right fix — but stopped short of matching the value, so
a consumer distinguishing timeout / halt / lost-worker had nothing to
branch on for the third case on one platform. Now EIO on both.

Three doc comments described the pre-fix behaviour, one of them for
longer than the bug existed:

  linux.rs durable_sync still said "all three fallbacks return Ok(())"
  mod.rs sync_all still said Linux silently swallows fsync failures and
    callers must not treat Ok(()) as a durability barrier
  mod.rs SequentialSink::finish repeated the same caveat

All three now say what the code does: a bounded-fsync failure is an Err
on every platform, so Ok(()) IS a durability barrier. A doc that
describes a fixed bug is worse than no doc — it tells a caller to write
a workaround for something that no longer exists.

au_assembly: discard_gap_before duplicated drop_marks_before's
mark-retirement body verbatim and added one statement. Mine, from
earlier today. It now calls it. Two copies of the same retirement loop
is exactly how the two call sites would drift back together.

clpi: ClpiStream's audio_format / audio_rate / video_format / video_rate
are decoded from untrusted on-disc bytes on every parse and read by
nothing. The identically-named fields consumed in disc/bluray.rs belong
to mpls::StreamEntry, not to this struct — checked, because an earlier
round wrongly called a live function dead. Deleted, along with the seven
test assertions that pinned them; the tests that pin pid, coding_type
and language remain. Also removed a section-header comment orphaned by
the get_extents deletion, describing a fixture that no longer exists.

Matthew Jackson 0bc8d7af9c test: constrain the AACS key-map gap fill, the PSI walk, and MP4 field offsets
Third pass over src/mux/. 40 survivors killed, no production change.

resolve.rs — the deleted-statement cluster is now fully constrained.
All 14 deletable statements probed; 9 were already caught, 5 survived:

  c.sort_unstable() in fill_base_key_gaps. Every existing case handed
  it cuts already in LBA order, but IndividualSegment.tbl is a record
  list. Verified on HEAD: deleting the sort passes all 54 resolve
  tests. The mutant lays a base-key fill straight over a forensic
  segment.

  last_idx = idx (FMTS gap fill) and last_idx = hit (multi-CPS cache
  hit). An extent with nothing to sample must inherit its neighbour's
  CPS unit; the mutants fall back to the first unit's key. Exactly the
  shape this file's own comments name — wrong key, no error,
  lost_bytes == 0.

  Both check_halt()? polls in probe_fmts_index_keys. These cannot be
  killed by outcome, since a later poll returns Halted too. The tests
  count reads instead, which is what the don't-hammer-a-struggling-
  drive rule actually says: after a Stop the drive is asked for zero
  content sectors.

The four unresolved += 1 arms each got a test, and deleting each fails
exactly one — one-to-one, so no fixture passes for the wrong reason. A
control test pins that the baseline table resolves, so an expect_err
cannot succeed for an unrelated reason.

ts.rs::scan_streams was never entered. Six killed, two of which return
wrong answers that look right: reading the PAT/PMT CRC as a table entry
invents a stream on PID 546 out of CRC bytes, and dropping the
ES_info_length skip decodes a descriptor as an entry and loses the one
after it. Every existing PMT fixture declares ES_info_length = 0; a
real BD PMT carries a registration descriptor on essentially every
entry. Also ISO/IEC 13818-1 2.4.4.3 program_number == 0 is the network
PID, not a program.

mp4/read.rs — 13. Height read as the width beside it; channelcount;
the 4-byte base-128 descriptor varint (every existing esds fixture uses
a single byte); all three optional ES_Descriptor fields, whose loss is
silent (an AAC track just loses its CodecPrivate); first-vs-last media
edit, which is A/V desync of the difference; and the version-1 mvhd
timescale offset, emitted by any writer whose duration exceeds 32 bits.

dts.rs — 7, from a real cargo-mutants run over the file rather than
guesswork. Including a buffer that IS the syncword, which is the state
a sync split across PES packets lands in the moment its last byte
arrives.

Equivalents proven by application, not argued: the sample_encrypted_units
guard pair is mutually redundant by construction (total*p/9 < total for
p <= 8), so either alone is equivalent and both together are not; the
PMT section_len guard is dead code where its PAT twin panics; three of
the seven EXSS_HEADER_MIN_BYTES arithmetic mutants still sum to 10.

Matthew Jackson e99b634635 fix(mux): a backstop discard is a discontinuity; a stream-start trim is not
drop_marks_before retired discontinuity marks alongside timing marks at
both of its call sites. At stream start that is right. At the
MAX_AU_BUFFER backstop it is not, and the two are now separate.

The backstop fires when 8 MiB accumulate with no AU start code in them
— corrupt or hostile input — and throws the run away. There IS a prior
AU in that case, and whatever emits next definitively does not continue
it: a decoder handed that picture resolves its references against
frames separated from it by megabytes of discarded data. Retiring the
flag meant the resync gate (resync.rs, driven from mux/disc.rs) never
armed, so the broken picture went out looking sound. Silent corruption
is the one class of loss this crate refuses to have.

At stream start the opposite holds. Bytes ahead of the first
access-unit delimiter are the tail of an AU that began before sync, and
there is no prior AU to be discontinuous from. Marking it would arm the
gate at the head of every title and drop its opening GOP. That risk is
why this was a decision rather than a fix, and splitting the call sites
is what avoids paying it.

Recorded as a sticky flag, not an offset mark. A mark placed at the new
base is retired moments later by the pre-sync trim that follows resync
— the gap has to outlive the bytes that caused it. I found that by
writing the test first and watching it fail with the mark approach.

The discard is a discontinuity whether or not the source signalled one,
and a signalled one on discarded bytes still reaches the AU that
follows; both directions are tested.

Note the first over-cap run is NOT a discard: the next AU's delimiter
is still at buf[0], so it force-flushes as an over-long access unit and
loses nothing. Only a run with no opener at all reaches the backstop.
The tests push twice for that reason — the single-push version passes
without the fix.

Swapping either call site for the other fails: reverting the backstop
reds the two gap tests, and arming the gate at stream start reds the
third.

Matthew Jackson b2e1982051 fix(clpi): resolve out_time past the last EP entry to the end of the clip
ClipInfo::get_extents fell back to `last EP SPN + 1` whenever out_time
lay past the last entry-point. EP entries mark I-frames (BD-ROM Part 3,
CPI / EP map) and a clip's final GOP lies after the last one, so a
PlayItem covering a whole clip — whose OUT_time is the presentation end
— always lands in that arm. The extent then stopped one source packet
after the last I-frame.

Measured on a fixture with 200,000 source packets and the last EP at
SPN 131,072: sector_count came back 12,289 where covering the clip
needs 18,750. Everything from the last entry point to EOF is outside
the returned extent.

Scope, stated plainly: get_extents has NO callers anywhere in the
ecosystem today — it is #[allow(dead_code)] and documented as reserved
for the timestamp-range read path. Nothing ships this loss. It is
fixed now because a latent truncation in extent arithmetic is far
cheaper to correct before it has callers than after.

The SPN at-or-after an out-of-range out_time is the end of the clip,
source_packet_count, with .max(last + 1) so a disc that under-declares
its own packet count against its own EP map still yields a sane bound.

Also 174 mutants killed across clpi, mpls, ifo and ebml — the first
time any of these four files has been examined. And ebml's 8-byte VINT
back-patch was duplicated verbatim in end_master and end_master_buf
with its top four payload octets unreachable through either (they need
a 16 MiB..256 TiB buffer); extracted to fixed_width_vint8 and tested
across the full 56-bit payload, no behaviour change.

38 of ebml's 46 survivors are one equivalence cluster: every | in
write_size / read_id / read_size / read_uint_val ORs into disjoint bit
lanes, where ^ is the identical operation. Applied all 38 at once —
green — then spot-checked four individually.

Matthew Jackson 9de88969ca test: constrain the DiscStream loss surface and the empty-title guards
Second mutation pass over src/mux/. 26 survivors killed, no production
change. Verified on HEAD before landing: each mutation below passes all
1,237 mux tests unmutated-suite.

The priority item was the honest-loss-reporting surface. Both
DiscStream::errors and DiscStream::lost_bytes could return a constant
with nothing failing — a rip that lost sectors would report zero loss
to the caller. This project has already shipped one defect of that
shape (a total decryption failure reported as an empty title, exit 0).
Driven now through two short-read fills so both land on values that are
neither 0 nor 1 and differ from each other; no constant and no field
swap survives.

MkvStream::finish -> Ok(()) also survived. MkvMuxer::finish has the
zero-frame MkvInvalid guard and two tests cover it, but the Stream
wrapper above it could return Ok unconditionally and bypass the guard
entirely — the empty-title defence was one layer thinner than it looked.

au_assembly: pinned au_opener_from behaviourally to the normative byte
values for all four modes, with negative cases for codes that are
explicitly not openers (MPEG-2 slice 0x01..0xAF, user data 0xB2,
extension 0xB5, sequence end 0xB7 per 13818-2 Table 6-1; VC-1
0x0A/0x0B/0x0C; H.264 SPS/PPS/IDR-slice). au_assembly and codec/ hold
independent copies of these constants; they agree today, and comparing
constants would not catch logic drifting apart, so both sides are now
pinned to the spec instead of to each other.

demux_sink::sanitize: every filename component demux:// writes comes
from disc-controlled text, so the path-separator arm is a traversal
guard. Deleting it now fails, including an end-to-end case where
base = "../evil/Title" must produce exactly one file inside the
chosen directory.

stts_and_ctts_expand renamed to stts_expands_runs_to_per_sample_deltas_in_order
and given runs with distinct deltas AND distinct lengths. Its old name
claimed ctts coverage it never had, which is why the composition-time
chain went unconstrained for eight rounds; the doc comment now points
at the tests that do cover ctts.

Correction to the previous pass: codec/truehd.rs flush -> vec![] IS
equivalent. Applied it, full mux suite green. TrueHD buffers across PES
but parse emits every complete unit immediately, so a residual buffer
at EOF is a truncated access unit and is correctly discarded. The
vec![Default::default()] variants are genuinely different and are
killed.

Deliberately not constrained: mkv::set_opening_capture (diagnostics
behind a process-global tracing check, flaky under the parallel
runner), and the three stdio.rs header paths (StdioStream holds
concrete io::Stdin/Stdout and cannot be driven without a production
refactor to injectable Read/Write).

Matthew Jackson 170fd0c064 test: constrain MP4 composition timing, MLP substream directory, and codec-private absence
Mutation testing over src/mux/. No production change — 49 survivors
killed, all proven red before green.

The MP4 composition-time chain was entirely unconstrained: VideoTiming::ctts,
build_ctts and parse_ctts could each return a constant and the suite
stayed green. Confirmed on HEAD: build_ctts -> vec![] passes all 1,220
mux tests. A demuxed B-frame title presenting in decode order would
have shipped.

The cause is a test whose name asserts coverage its body does not
deliver — stts_and_ctts_expand builds an stts box and never touches
ctts, and write_then_read_round_trip asserts sample sizes and keyframe
flags but not one PTS. Same shape as the set_speed forwarding finding,
different disguise.

mlp_num_substreams / mlp_substr_header_size: every TrueHD fixture in
the crate uses one substream and no extraword, so both could return a
constant and agree with all of them. These position mlp_parity_ok's
window over the AU header, so a constant mis-windows the parity check
on exactly the multi-substream AUs that carry 7.1 and Atmos.

CodecPrivate absent vs empty: mkv.rs writes Some(bytes) verbatim and
omits the element on None (RFC 9559 5.1.4.1.24), so a zero-length Some
emits a track header asserting the config IS empty. Four parsers could
return Some(vec![]) before any frame.

Also: mandatory ISO/IEC 14496-12 boxes (tkhd, vmhd, smhd, dinf, mdhd)
could each build empty; HEVC num_extra_slice_header_bits (H.265 7.3.2.3)
was never non-zero in any fixture, so the slice-type offset skip was
unexercised; chapter names from the disc go straight into
<ChapterString> and the & escape must run first; a stray 0x47 in a
payload must not latch a TS resync.

Documented as equivalent rather than killed: CodecParser::flush and the
three parser flush bodies that differ from the mutant only by a tracing
call, and DropTally::log_summary.

Matthew Jackson c63dafcf1a Key each FMTS extent from its own CPS unit, and stop a bad ICB tag reading
as an empty directory

On an AACS 2.1 disc the non-forensic gap fill hardcoded pool slot 0 as
"the" base Unit Key, so every content LBA outside a forensic segment was
keyed with CPS unit 1's key even on a disc carrying several CPS units. It
does not fail loudly — it produces garbage plaintext. The gap fill now
resolves each extent's own base key from its ciphertext, sharing the
sampling and slot-picking the multi-CPS path already had rather than
adding a second copy, and memoised in the existing per-disc cache. A disc
with one base key still short-circuits with zero extra reads, which the
existing probe-cost test pins. Forcing the slot back to a constant fails
four tests, so the choice is load-bearing rather than incidental.

A directory ICB whose descriptor tag is neither File Entry nor Extended
File Entry (ECMA-167 4/14.9, 4/14.17) was turned into a successfully-read
EMPTY directory, indistinguishable from a genuinely empty one, while the
same tag on a file ICB was already a hard error. Fifth instance in this
audit of a failure converted into a plausible success value, and the
second in this very function — round 5 fixed a read error becoming a file
size of zero here.

An unrecorded extent (ECMA-167 4/14.14.1.1: allocated but not recorded,
logically zeros that still occupy file space) was dropped entirely rather
than contributing its length, so every later extent landed at the wrong
file offset. Silent corruption, not an error. Extents now carry a recorded
flag and the hole emits zeros without touching the media.

The Volume Descriptor Sequence was swept at hardcoded sectors 32..64 while
the anchor's own Main VDS Extent pointer was parsed into a comment and
ignored; ECMA-167 3/10.2.1 defines that extent by the field, not by
position, so a conformant volume placing it elsewhere failed to mount.

drive_status decoded byte 5 as Media Status without checking the event
header's NEA bit or notification class (MMC-6 §6.7), so a reply carrying
no media event descriptor decoded as "no disc". The drive is untrusted
input here, and this is the works-on-my-drive class.

Two more tests were found asserting the defects they sit next to — one
requiring unrecorded extents to be dropped, one that four drive fixtures
built non-conformant replies the corrected decoder rightly rejects. Both
rewritten. Combined with the DTS one in the previous commit that makes
three tests this round that locked a bug in as intended behaviour, which
is a different and worse failure than the tautological tests found so far:
a tautology fails to catch a regression, these actively defend the defect.

Not fixed, adjacent: extract_one_file streams extents sequentially and
will now READ an unrecorded extent's sectors rather than writing
guaranteed zeros. Offsets are right, and pressed media reads as zeros
there, but it is not zero-guaranteed the way read_file now is; that needs
a recorded flag through PlannedFile.

Matthew Jackson 46eb88c51f Feed the CSS crack the canonical extent order, and stop Resolution faking 1080p
Seven defects in the code the test suite executes least — 913 lines of
disc/mod.rs alone are run by no test at all, which is why this round scoped
from coverage rather than from what previous rounds said they had read.

Disc::scan_image kept its own copy of the crack's extent ordering and fed
crack_key_outcome largest-cell-first. That is the fifth instance in this
audit of a local reimplementation drifting from the canonical one, and the
cost here is a key that does not descramble the feature: picking by sector
count bypasses the capacity gate and can select a different VTS entirely.
The copy is gone — which title comes from the canonical order the scan
already applied, and the extents are handed over in playback order,
exactly as decrypt_keys_for_title does. Its doc records why the duplicate
existed so it cannot grow back.

Resolution::pixels returned 1920x1080 for Unknown. That is the FOURTH
instance of one trap and the other three were in this same file, two of
them fixed hours earlier — without sweeping for siblings, which is the
whole reason this one survived. It now returns (0, 0), and the sweep was
done properly this time: every remaining Unknown arm across the crate is
honest, and the two ColorSpace sites that look like fabrication are
emitting H.273 code point 2, which is the spec's own "unspecified". Two
callers carried local Unknown-to-zero workarounds — precisely the cost of
making callers responsible for a lie — and one is now redundant.

BD-ROM Part 3 code 0xA2 is the lossy secondary DTS stream, not lossless
Master Audio. A test asserted the wrong mapping as intended behaviour, so
correcting the code failed it; the test is deleted with a note pointing at
its replacement. That is a NEW failure mode for this audit: not a test
that cannot fail, but one that locks the defect in. There is no
DtsExpress variant to map to, so it takes the lossy DTS-HD member and the
approximation is documented.

Also: DiscSession::identify could panic through drive_mut once the public
API allows an absent drive — two siblings were converted in an earlier
round and this one was missed; an extent end that added without saturating
where the rest of the crate saturates; a diag reason string restating the
comparator's sort keys and drifting from them, now derived from them; and
a short read that advanced the offset by the full request, silently
skipping the gap. That last one existed twice, in two reads with the same
shape, now merged so they cannot drift apart.

The short-read policy is a judgement call I could not derive from a spec:
no skip_errors is a hard error, with skip_errors zero-fills and charges
the loss. It deliberately does not retry mid-unit, because resuming inside
an AACS aligned unit would trade a silent gap for a silent decrypt
desync — the worse of the two.
2026-07-30 11:12:55 -07:00
Matthew Jackson dea968f32b Stop AudioChannels and SampleRate fabricating a value for Unknown
Three copies of the same two mappings existed. The canonical accessors
returned 6 channels and 48000 Hz for Unknown; a third copy in diag.rs
returned 0. The honest one was the copy.

A plausible wrong answer is worse than an obvious one. Six channels at
48 kHz is indistinguishable from a real 5.1 track, so every caller became
responsible for remembering to check the variant first — and this crate
walked into exactly that: the json:// sink reported a confident 5.1 for
audio whose neighbouring fields said "unknown". That was fixed at the call
site earlier in this audit; this fixes it at the source.

The accessors now return 0, which is what both in-crate call sites already
coerced Unknown to by hand, so their guards are gone and the behaviour is
unchanged. Zero is also obviously wrong if it ever reaches output, where
six is not.

The diag.rs duplicates are deleted rather than corrected — a fourth copy
would have drifted too. Their only caller was a trace line in the same
file, now on the canonical accessors. Their tests moved across and gained
the Unknown case, which is the point: restoring either fabricated value
fails both.

Found by the round-7 correctness agent while fixing the json:// sink; it
flagged the third copy as out of its scope rather than touching it.

Matthew Jackson 079c9b1327 Add a seeded robustness harness for the untrusted-input parsers
Five parsers that take bytes straight off a disc are now swept with
generated input asserting one property: they return Ok or Err and never
panic. That is this crate's own hard rule, and the class seven rounds of
reading is worst at.

Written in-crate rather than with cargo-fuzz, which needs a nightly
toolchain this project does not use, and without proptest or arbitrary,
because one dev-dependency is a deliberate posture and the parsers take
plain byte slices. What is given up is coverage-guided mutation, which is
the real loss. What is gained is determinism: the same seed replays the
same cases anywhere, so a CI failure reproduces locally verbatim.

Three generators, and the second is the one that matters. Pure random
bytes die at the magic check and exercise the entry guards only; prefixing
valid magic is what reaches the parser body; mutating a mostly-zero record
is what reaches the offset and count arithmetic a hostile image would lie
about.

That claim is MEASURED, not asserted. A harness whose cases all bounce off
the entry guards is the fuzzing equivalent of a test that cannot fail, so
one test counts how many generated cases parse to completion: 15,606 of
60,000, about 26%. If a future change to a guard drops that to zero, the
test fails rather than continuing to report a meaningless pass. Two further
tests pin that the three generators produce different bytes and that a seed
replays identically.

1.2M cases across all five targets found nothing. On this evidence that is
a real negative rather than an empty one.

The first version of this file was itself broken in the way this audit
keeps finding: its two meta-tests set FREEMKV_HARNESS_CASES and raced,
because the test harness runs them in parallel and env mutation is unsound
there. The budget is a parameter now, and the environment is read once at
the call site.

Two crate-internal parsers widened from private to pub(crate) so the
harness can reach them. No public API change.
2026-07-30 09:45:56 -07:00
Matthew Jackson 327087c70e Make five tests capable of failing, and stop the presence probe unmounting the disc
The worst of the five was a regression suite that never touched the code
it guarded: nine batch-count tests called `safe_batch_count` and
`buggy_batch_count`, both defined in the test file itself. The u16
truncation they exist to prevent could be reintroduced in
sector/prefetched.rs with every one of them green. They now drive the real
producer through the public API, and reinstating the truncation fails five
of the nine. Worth recording that the symptom has changed since the
original fix: the unit-alignment clamp below floors a zero batch at three
sectors, so the bug is now a twenty-fold throughput cliff rather than the
stall it once was.

The MP4 reserve test's only numeric case was dominated by the floor and
the buffer, so BYTES_PER_SAMPLE could be zeroed without failing it. It now
has a case where the per-sample term dominates. The zero-count guard in
FileSectorSource was likewise unfalsifiable — seek-past-EOF and a
zero-length read both succeed — so the test now observes the file cursor.
The AACS media-key ambiguity guard had no test at all; the pool scan is
extracted so the verifier can be injected, because a genuine two-key
collision needs one ciphertext decrypting under two AES-128 keys to
plaintexts sharing a 64-bit magic, which is a 2^64 search and not a
fixture.

macOS implemented the documented cheap, side-effect-free presence probe by
building a full exclusive transport — which force-unmounts the disc. Linux
and Windows issue one TEST UNIT READY with no unmount; macOS was the
outlier. It now walks the IOKit registry for the media object instead.

The C shim's registry reads assumed CoreFoundation types the registry does
not guarantee, so a driver publishing a CFNumber where a CFString was
expected aborted the process from inside public API. Types are checked and
a wrong type treated as absent. The unbounded waitpid on the unmount child
is now a polled deadline, and the last-resort match gained the NULL check
its two siblings already had.

The empty-CDB guard existed only on Linux while a shared helper's comment
claimed all three backends had it. Moved into the helper, so the comment
is now true and macOS and Windows are covered.

One finding was REJECTED with evidence rather than fixed. The TrueHD
buffer-cap test was indeed bogus, but MAX_TRUEHD_BUF turns out to be
unreachable by any input: the parser only retains data when the buffer is
shorter than the declared AU, and that declaration is twelve bits, so the
worst case is 8189 bytes against a 256 KiB cap. An exhaustive sweep over
all 65536 AU headers confirmed it. The fixture now sits at the reachable
ceiling and asserts that instead. The cap itself is left in place as
defence, unreachable by construction, matching how the AC-3 resync guard
was handled earlier in this audit.

Two behaviour changes worth naming: Linux's empty-CDB error becomes
InvalidCdbLength rather than a transport failure, and an unknown device
now reports absent media rather than a not-found error, because the
registry cannot tell an empty drive from a missing one. The latter is a
conflation of the kind this audit has fixed three times; it is recorded
for the next round rather than left silent.
2026-07-30 09:26:56 -07:00
Matthew Jackson b8fa5e74dc Stop the live rip path muxing Blu-ray 3D differently from the ISO path
Five defects, four of them the same shape: a local reimplementation of
logic the crate already had, which had drifted from it. Each is now fixed
by calling the canonical version rather than by patching the copy.

DiscStream::new — the live disc:// path — built every parser through the
plain codec lookup and never asked whether a video stream was an MVC
dependent view, though resolve::build_demux_state does. The same 3D disc
therefore muxed correctly from an ISO and incorrectly ripped live. The
open-coded loop is gone; both paths now call build_demux_state.

collect_psi_section reimplemented the continuity-counter gap test and
disagreed with process_packet in the same file: it tolerated neither a
duplicate packet nor an adaptation-field-only packet, which per ISO/IEC
13818-1 §2.4.3.3 does not increment the counter. A spec-legal PMT
continuation was read as desync and the title's stream list came back
empty. Both callers now share one `cc_is_gap`, and a duplicate packet's
payload is no longer appended twice — doing so would have corrupted the
section the check exists to protect.

The json:// sink called the channel-count and sample-rate accessors
unconditionally, and both fabricate a concrete value for Unknown, so it
reported a confident 5.1 at 48 kHz for audio whose format was unknown
while its own neighbouring string fields said "unknown". The keys are now
omitted, matching mkv.rs. This matters more than it did: a sample-rate
ladder fixed earlier in this audit means Unknown now reaches consumers
that used to receive a wrong-but-concrete value.

For an audio:// or sub:// sink the reference video track's output is
filtered out, so its first PTS was never recorded and every delay was
computed against zero — baking a wrong DELAY into the filename. The
reference is now recorded whenever a frame is on the reference track,
independent of whether that track has an output, so a normal title gets a
correct delay; where no reference is ever observed the tag is omitted
rather than guessed.

A third copy of the channel/sample-rate mapping exists in src/diag.rs and
was left alone as outside the confirmed set. It is the same drift shape
and is recorded for the next round.
2026-07-30 09:18:33 -07:00
Matthew Jackson 3f7d7af472 Bound three allocations an untrusted disc can drive without limit
The Program Stream demuxer appended every fed byte and enforced its 4 MiB
cap only inside a branch reached once a start code had been found. Input
containing no start code anywhere therefore hit no cap at all, and since a
whole title is fed through this demuxer, a zero-filled or ciphertext VOB
extent buffered the entire title — up to ~90 GB. When the buffer holds no
start code, only a two-byte `00 00` prefix can begin a PS unit on the next
feed, so that is kept and the rest dropped. The bound is exact rather than
a heuristic: a start code can straddle a feed boundary by at most its
first two bytes, so no real byte is discarded, and a test feeding
`FF FF 00 00` then `01 E0 ...` pins that.

The existing test named for this case fed a real start code first, so the
cap it exercised was the in-PES one. Renamed to say what it covers.

The BD-J label path had a different shape to anything found so far: the
cap is on the COMPRESSED size of a disc file while the allocation scales
with the decompressed size. A `.class` gated only by a path prefix
inflates to the 64 MiB ceiling, yielding ~33M retained strings from `ldc`
operands or ~67M pushes onto a symbolic stack whose depth was unbounded
despite the Code attribute's own `max_stack` being parsed and then
ignored. Bounded both, the stack by `max_stack` itself (JVMS §4.7.3).

The VMG TT_SRPT title count is an untrusted u16 with no de-duplication,
so ~800 KB of crafted IFO re-parsed one PGC 65535 times. Capped at 99, the
DVD-Video maximum, so no conformant disc is clipped.

Every cap carries stated headroom against real media, and each has a test
locking that real media still passes.

I rewrote three of the new assertions before landing them. They compared
the result against the very constant under test — `total <= MAX_TT_SRPT_TITLES`
— which passes vacuously the moment someone raises the constant, the most
likely future regression and the seventh instance of this tautology shape
in this audit. They now assert literals derived from the spec.

The TT_SRPT fixture also had to change: with 65535 identical entries the
de-duplication collapsed them on its own and the cap was never what
bounded the result, so the test passed with the cap removed entirely.
Distinct entries defeat dedup and leave the cap as the only guard;
de-duplication now has its own fixture. Verified by raising each of the
three constants and confirming all three tests fail.
2026-07-30 09:17:16 -07:00
Matthew Jackson fdd473d7e9 Remove emulation-prevention bytes before reading the H.264 slice header
The bytes after a NAL header are EBSP, not RBSP: ISO/IEC 14496-10 §7.4.1
has the encoder insert 0x03 after any 0x00 0x00, and §7.3.1 removes it
before parsing. The measured-picture-type parse read the raw NAL instead,
on the stated reasoning that slice_type is too early for an escape to
intervene.

That holds only up to a point. first_mb_in_slice is ue(v), so a value of
65535 or more needs sixteen leading zero bits and opens the payload with
0x00 0x00, which an encoder must then escape. A UHD frame is ~32,400
macroblocks, so a conforming Blu-ray never reaches it — but 8K does, and
the disc is untrusted input. Such a stream decoded slice_type against a
byte the encoder had inserted and reported the wrong picture type: a wrong
result rather than an error, which is the class this lens exists for.

The prefix is un-escaped into a 16-octet buffer rather than the whole NAL:
the two ue(v) fields are at most 32 bits each, so nothing longer can be
needed, and it keeps a per-frame allocation proportional to the frame off
the path.

The test pins both directions. It asserts the un-escaped prefix decodes to
first_mb_in_slice = 65535 and slice_type = 2, AND that the raw EBSP does
NOT — without that second assertion the test would pass whether or not the
fix were present, which is the failure mode this audit has now found four
times. The bit string was derived independently rather than by hand: my
first attempt at the fixture was wrong by one nibble and the test caught
it.

Also covers the cases that must NOT be unescaped: a 0x03 not preceded by
00 00 is ordinary payload, and 00 00 03 03 keeps its second 0x03 because
the escape resets the zero run.

Matthew Jackson d444afbdfc Turn a release-only slice panic into an error, and stop calling 32 kHz 48 kHz
Four round-6 findings.

FileSectorSource::read_sectors guarded its output buffer with a
debug_assert, which is compiled out in release — so an undersized buffer
panicked with 'range end index out of range' instead of returning an
error, out of a public SectorSource impl where the length is caller input.
Drive::read_fua already carries this exact guard, with a comment recording
the same panic being fixed there, and PrefetchedSectorSource has a
regression test for the same case; this impl had been given neither. The
new test is red in release for precisely the predicted reason: 'range end
index 8192 out of range for slice of length 2049'.

parse_track's sample-rate ladder ended in an unconditional S48, so any
SamplingFrequency below 44100 was recorded as 48 kHz. A 32000 Hz AC-3 or
DTS track is legal and common in broadcast-sourced content, and the wrong
rate then propagated into the reconstructed AudioStream. Anything below
the lowest mapped rate is now Unknown, which is what the crate's canonical
SampleRate::from_hz already returned — the ladder disagreed with it. The
ladder itself stays, because the MKV element is a float and wants
tolerance rather than exact equality.

shim_open_exclusive used the mach port from IOMainPort without checking
the return; on failure the port is left untouched and every IOKit call
below ran against an uninitialised value. shim_list_drives in the same
file does check it.

build.rs treated cc and ar as successful if the process merely SPAWNED, so
a genuine compile error in the macOS C shim produced no object file and
surfaced later as an unexplained link failure against a missing symbol.
The shim is macOS-only and is neither linted nor compiled on the other two
platforms, so a mistake in it has exactly one chance to be noticed.

The last two have no test: one needs IOMainPort to fail, the other needs a
deliberately broken C shim, and neither is reachable from the test
harness. Both mirror a correct sibling in the same file, which is the
evidence available.

Matthew Jackson 399c3d2769 Reject an over-length CDB on every transport, splice H.264 param sets in place
Two fixes from round 5.

The Linux and Windows backends truncated a CDB longer than 16 bytes
(`cdb.len().min(16)`) where macOS returned InvalidCdbLength. Under SPC-4 a
command's length is fixed by its opcode group code, so a shortened CDB is
not a shorter form of the same command — it is a DIFFERENT command, and
the drive executes it and answers GOOD with data for a request nobody
made. A silently wrong result on the layer everything else sits on.

Rather than mirror the guard a third time it now lives in scsi::mod as
checked_cdb_len, with all three backends routed through it, so it cannot
drift per platform again. That also makes it testable everywhere: each
platform module is cfg-gated to its own host, so a guard inlined into
linux.rs and windows.rs would have had no test coverage on any single
machine. The shared helper is the only place the behaviour can be
asserted on every platform's CI.

The two existing macOS tests were tautological — they replicated the
guard's logic inline instead of calling it, so they would have passed with
the guard deleted. They now call the real helper.

Separately, the H.264 keyframe parameter-set re-assert grew a
few-hundred-byte prefix buffer to the full access-unit size, copied the
whole frame into it, and dropped the presized buffer: one extra
whole-frame allocation and copy per keyframe. A UHD title is ~200,000
frames of 150-400 KB with a keyframe every second or two, so that is
thousands of avoidable multi-hundred-KB copies per title, each large
enough to go through mmap. It now splices into the reserved headroom in
place. This mirrors the identical fix already made in hevc.rs, which the
H.264 path had drifted from.

Byte-for-byte equivalence is pinned by a test whose expected literals
were captured from the pre-change implementation, and which I confirmed
still passes when the old build-and-copy code is restored. The
no-reallocation claim is measured rather than argued: a counter over 30
bare keyframes, which reports 30 of 30 against the old path and 0 with
the splice.

The reallocation test initially passed even with PARAM_REASSERT_HEADROOM
set to zero, because a small parameter set fits in the presize's
incidental slack — it proved the fixture did not reallocate, not that the
headroom prevented it. Its SPS is now large enough that the constant is
load-bearing, so zeroing it fails the test.

Not verified: no runtime behaviour on Linux or Windows: no drive, no
ioctl. Both files were confirmed to compile for their own targets.

Matthew Jackson 5c6a6d0785 Round 5: reject a degenerate fixed lace, bound the pending buffer by bytes
Five fixes. Three are real defects with regression tests; two are bounds
that were expressible but not expressed.

A fixed-size lace (RFC 9559 §10.3.4) whose body is empty declared n
frames and carried none. The divisibility check passed, because 0 % n is
0, and `chunks` yields nothing on an empty slice whatever width it is
given — so the clamp that existed to avoid chunks(0) returned zero frames
where the Lacing Head said n. The whole lace vanished with no error
raised and the caller saw a clean short block. A zero-size frame cannot
be a valid frame, so it is now malformed.

A disc read failure while fetching a directory entry's ICB became a file
size of zero rather than an error. Zero is indistinguishable from a
genuinely empty file, so an unreadable ICB on a damaged disc silently
changed which titles a caller saw as present — read_directory already
fails hard on its entry-budget guard, so propagating is also what the
surrounding code does. read_file_size still returns Ok(0) for an ICB
whose tag is neither File Entry nor Extended File Entry, which is a real
zero and not a failure.

The pending-frame buffer was capped at 4096 frames, which does not bound
memory: frames are arbitrarily large and a UHD video frame runs to a few
hundred KB, so the existing cap permitted over a gigabyte. Now bounded by
bytes as well, at 64 MiB.

round_up_grain overflowed for inputs within one grain of u64::MAX —
div_ceil then multiply — and the wrapped product is small, turning the
largest possible estimate into a negligible reserve. It saturates, and
the reserve is clamped to what a `free` box's 32-bit size field can
actually hold, since writing a larger one truncated the size and left
mdat beyond a box claiming to be far shorter. No real title comes close;
a 90 GB UHD title estimates a few MiB.

The AC-3 resync guard now advances the PTS cadence like both of its
sibling branches, so the three paths out of that block cannot disagree.
This one is defensive and has NO test: reaching it needs input that both
parses frames and leaves a megabyte of residue, and the parser's own
carry rules drop pre-sync junk and cap a partial frame at 8192 bytes, so
no such input was found. Stated here rather than covered by a test that
would pass either way.

Two findings from this round were rejected on inspection. A reported
panic in the .mpls suffix check does not exist: the `.get(..)` on the
line above returns None off a char boundary and `filter` never runs its
closure, so the byte index is unreachable. A test written for it passed
against the unfixed code, which is what surfaced the error.

Matthew Jackson f5e169efb3 Stop reporting a corrupt mkv:// source as an empty title
E6008 meant two unrelated things: "this title produced no muxable
frames", which is a benign stub worth skipping, and "the source file is
malformed", which is not. Because a single code carried both,
is_skippable_title_stub answered yes to the second one — so feeding a
truncated or corrupt mkv:// input made the engine classify it
SkippableStub, print a notice saying the title was empty, and exit 0.
Silent data loss reported as success.

Split into E9053 MkvSourceInvalid for the read path (25 raise sites
across mkvstream.rs and ebml.rs's read primitives) and E9054
MkvUnencodable for the four write-side sites, which are the encoder
refusing to emit a body at or above the 56-bit VINT limit — an output
limit with no input involved, so calling it a corrupt source would be
wrong in the other direction. E6008 keeps only the zero-frame guard it
was documented to mean.

Kept one code for the whole read path rather than one per raise site:
nothing a consumer does differs between a bad VINT, a non-UTF-8 string
element, a truncated body and a child overrunning its parent. E9052 is
the model for when a carve-out earns its keep — laced blocks name one
specific RFC 9559 §10.3 feature with its own diagnosis.

Also fixed meta_sink.rs raising MkvInvalid for a serde_json encode
failure in the json:// sink, where no MKV is involved at all; it now
matches the identical guard in mux/meta.rs.

Reverting the split at the single code() arm reproduces the old
classification: 22 tests fail, including both new assertions. The
opposite direction is pinned too — dropping E6008 from the predicate
fails the genuine-stub test, which drives the real muxer end to end.

Matthew Jackson 0bbceed985 Round 4: fix 26 defects across crypto, resource use and codec paths
Twenty-six confirmed findings from the fourth audit round, landed as one
cluster because they were found by agents working over disjoint file sets.

The one worth calling out is a pair of AACS tests that could not fail.
Both asserted CBC behaviour against a hand-rolled expectation that
happened to be IV-independent, so replacing AACS_IV with sixteen zero
bytes left them passing — they were pinning the code's own arithmetic,
not the published constant. Replaced with a literal witness of the
published IV plus the NIST SP 800-38A F.2.2 CBC-AES128 vector, and
verified the other way round: zeroing AACS_IV now fails three tests.

The rest are allocation and correctness work on hot paths: the Annex-B
writer in demux_sink allocated and freed a whole-frame Vec per frame,
which for a UHD title is ~200,000 allocations over the mmap threshold
plus the page faults to first-touch each one; it now reuses a buffer on
the writer, and still takes the NAL prefix width from the configuration
record rather than assuming four.

Six findings whose real fix lives in a consumer crate are recorded for
re-filing rather than patched here.

Matthew Jackson 4fcd28b487 Parse MKV lacing, route by real TrackNumber, honour NAL length size and edit lists
Four conformance defects in the read paths, two of them silent corruption.

**Lacing was ignored entirely.** RFC 9559 §10.2 defines Xiph, EBML and
fixed-size lacing, where one Block carries several frames; the reader took the
Block payload verbatim, so a laced Block became a single "frame" consisting of a
lacing header followed by concatenated frames — garbage to the codec parser, no
error. Audio tracks from other muxers commonly use lacing, so an ordinary
foreign MKV was silently mangled.

All three modes are now parsed: Xiph 255-run sizes including the trailing-zero
rule for exact multiples of 255, EBML unsigned first size plus SIGNED VINT deltas
with the 2^((7*n)-1)-1 bias of §10.3.3, and fixed-size even division, with the
last frame's size deduced from the remainder. Laced timestamps follow §10.3.5:
the first frame takes the Block timestamp and the rest are spaced by the track's
DefaultDuration, else BlockDuration/count, else shared with a warn.

Parsing was chosen over refusing because refusal would leave freemkv unable to
remux common foreign audio at all, and each mode is about fifteen lines.

A malformed lacing header now raises a NEW code, E_MKV_LACING_INVALID = 9052,
deliberately NOT MkvInvalid — because is_skippable_title_stub classifies
MkvInvalid as a skippable nav stub, so reusing it would have recreated the exact
conflation that is still open as a separate finding. A test asserts the new code
is not skippable.

**TrackNumber was assumed to be 1..N in TrackEntry order.** RFC 9559 §5.1.4.1.1
only requires it to be non-zero and unique, so sparse or unordered numbers are
legal. Block routing and codec_private both computed track + 1. A real
TrackNumber map is now built, recorded only for TrackEntries that yield a stream
so dropped track types no longer shift the mapping.

Verified red here independently, and the failure mode is worse than mis-routing:
with track + 1 restored, a buttons track's payload was attributed to the AUDIO
stream — wrong payload into the wrong codec parser.

**The NAL length prefix was hardcoded to 4 bytes.** lengthSizeMinusOne lives in
avcC byte 4 and hvcC byte 21 (ISO/IEC 14496-15 §5.3.3.1.2, §8.3.3.1.2) and was
never read, so a source declaring 1- or 2-byte prefixes had its raw prefixed
bytes emitted verbatim with no start codes. All four conversion sites now derive
the width from the track's own configuration record.

**Edit lists were ignored.** No edts/elst was parsed, so the presentation
timeline an edit list defines (ISO/IEC 14496-12 §8.6.5/§8.6.6) was dropped —
which is how encoder delay is normally expressed. Leading empty edits and the
first media edit's media_time are now applied to both dts and pts, with the movie
vs media timescale distinction respected. A list needing more than a constant
shift applies the leading edit and warns rather than presenting the result as
faithful.

17 tests. I reproduced the lacing mutant independently: returning the body whole
kills five of them, including the exact-payload and malformed-header cases.

Still open and deliberately untouched: the MkvInvalid / is_skippable_title_stub
conflation across ~20 reader raise sites. It is a cross-cutting error.rs change
and E_MKV_LACING_INVALID is the template for it.

Matthew Jackson 9527bc1e13 Anchor forensic segments to the forensic clip, and stop CPS branching on resolve order
Two correctness defects in AACS 2.1 / FMTS key-map resolution, both order- or
anchor-dependent, and both able to abort a whole disc or silently garble it.

**The single-CPS short-circuit depended on which title resolved first.**
`pool_len` counted the WHOLE unit-key pool, and resolve_fmts_key_map appends the
disc's forensic index keys to that same caller-owned pool. The count was captured
before THIS call's FMTS branch but not before earlier titles', so once any forensic
title resolved, every later title saw a pool larger than one and fell into
multi-CPS sampling — 8 random reads per extent, and a whole-disc DecryptFailed if
no pooled key opened a menu extent's samples. A disc that ripped fine when a
non-forensic playlist sorted first failed when a forensic one did.

Forensic keys are now tagged FMTS_POOL_TAG_BASE = 1 << 24 and the short-circuit
asks single_base_key_slot(), which excludes them. The old 1000 tag was NOT kept,
and the reasoning is worth recording: base CPS ids are Unit_Key_RO.inf position + 1
and that count is a BE16, so 1000 sits inside a genuinely reachable id space. 1<<24
cannot collide. The id field is cosmetic — decrypt.rs indexes the pool by slot and
reads only the key — so widening the tag is safe.

**Forensic segment SPNs were anchored to the wrong clip.** They live in the
forensic feature clip's byte space, but were mapped through
clip_byte_to_lba(&title.extents, ..), which treats byte 0 as the start of the
title's FIRST extent. Any playlist not beginning with the forensic clip mapped
every segment to the wrong LBA: either the anchor probe sampled the wrong clip and
the whole-disc resolve aborted with FmtsKeyMissing, or — worse — a forensic index
key was applied to non-forensic sectors while the real forensic units kept the base
key, giving silently garbled output with no error at all.

The correct anchor turns out to be a DISC fact, not title data: an AACS 2.1 disc
names its forensic feature BDMV/STREAM/<clip>.fmts, and carries one
IndividualSegment.tbl, so the SPNs are in that one clip's byte space. A new
forensic_clip_extents() finds the unique .fmts in the already-walked UDF tree, and
those extents now drive the segment arithmetic, the addressability filter, and the
index probe — whose title parameter is gone, since its reads were mis-anchored too.
"Does this title carry forensic content" is now "does it read the forensic clip's
sectors" rather than "do the segment bytes land somewhere in the concatenation".

Where the clip is NOT identifiable — no .fmts, or several, making the SPN space
ambiguous — on a disc that does carry a non-empty table, the resolve now fails loud
with FmtsKeyMissing rather than guessing an anchor. That is a deliberate behaviour
change: a hypothetical disc with two .fmts clips hard-fails where it previously
produced a possibly-wrong map. Failing loud beats silently garbled output, and
inventing an anchor was not acceptable.

This site had been flagged independently three times — by the agent that added the
FMTS per-disc memo, by the round-4 correctness lens with a concrete scenario, and
by the round-4 conformance pass.

Verified red here independently: reverting single_base_key_slot to count the whole
pool fails both new tests. The agent's own evidence was probe_reads 48 vs 40 (the
8 extra sampling reads) and an E7013 DecryptFailed whole-disc abort, and for the
anchor an E7026 FmtsKeyMissing on a [trailer, forensic] extent list.

All six pre-existing FMTS tests pass unchanged through the new anchor, including
the exact-cost assertions (40 probe reads, one key-service call per disc, one UDF
walk for 60 titles), so the round-3 memoisation wins are intact.

Matthew Jackson 58bdb42f8e Group whole E-AC-3 frame sets, and keep short reads unit-aligned
Two defects in fixes landed the same day, both found by round 4 auditing round 3's
work rather than trusting it.

**The E-AC-3 grouping ignored substreamid, so the timeline still doubled.**
Confirmed independently by the correctness and conformance lenses and verified by
hand: substreamid appeared only in test helpers, never in the production path. Per
ETSI TS 102 366 (A/52) Annex E a frame set is independent substream 0 — mandatory,
always first — with its dependents, then the OPTIONAL additional independent
substreams 1..7 with theirs, all covering the same time period. Treating an
additional independent substream as a new access unit advanced the clock a second
time for the same 32 ms, which is exactly the doubling the grouping fix existed to
prevent. No fixture caught it because every fixture used substreamid 0.

is_dependent_substream becomes substream_role -> Starts | Extends: strmtyp 1
extends; strmtyp 0/2 with substreamid != 0 now extends (this was the bug); strmtyp
0/2 with substreamid == 0, legacy AC-3, and reserved strmtyp 3 start. Reserved 3
starts regardless of its id bits, because its BSI layout is undefined so those bits
cannot be trusted — an unknown frame is neither merged into an unrelated programme
nor silently discarded.

The frame set stays ONE sample rather than being split into a separate track for
the associated service, and the reasoning is in the module doc: a substream
numbered 1..7 with no substream 0 is not conforming, so extracting one would mean
renumbering ids and rebuilding frame sets — a transcode, not a remux. Programme
selection is the player's job.

A stream joined mid-frame-set (first sync is substreamid 3) is skipped with a debug
and resyncs at the next id-0, mirroring the orphan-dependent rule: its mandatory
id-0 substream was never seen, so it is neither decodable alone nor timeable.

MAX_AC3_BUF 128 KiB -> 1 MiB, because an AU is now a whole frame set: worst case 8
independent x 9 substreams x 8192 B = 576 KiB, which the old cap could have dropped
mid-hold.

**The forced probe's two round-3 fixes cancelled each other.** CHUNK_SECTORS = 1023
exists (with a const assert) so every read starts on a 3-sector AACS aligned-unit
boundary; the short-read fix advanced by actual bytes, making the advance a
non-multiple of 3. Every later read was then misaligned, DecryptingSectorSource
refused it before reading, the stop became ReadFailed, and no verdict was asserted
— so content-based forced detection silently fell back to the vendor label on
exactly the encrypted discs the 1023 change was written for.

A partially-satisfied read now advances only by whole aligned units and re-reads
the <=2 residue sectors from the next boundary, feeding only the aligned prefix so
nothing is double-fed and no partial unit reaches the parsers. A read that fully
satisfies its request still advances by all of it. When less than one aligned unit
comes back the bytes are fed and the same LBA is retried twice before stopping, so
a starved source cannot spin — verified by raising the retry limit and watching the
test hang.

Verified red independently here: reverting substream_role to strmtyp-only fails
eac3_additional_independent_substream_stays_in_the_frame_set (6 access units where
3 are correct — the doubling, literally) and the mid-frame-set resync test.

Reported, not fixed: dec3_box still hardcodes num_ind_sub - 1 = 0 and
num_dep_sub = 0, so it under-declares any stream carrying additional independent
or dependent substreams now that frame sets arrive whole. DolbyConfig has no
fields for either; a real fix needs the parser to surface observed substream
counts. That file is another lens's this round.

Unverified: no real multi-programme DD+ stream exists here, so defect 1 rests on
synthetic Annex-E fixtures. The retail DD+ check (No Time to Die, all substreamid
0) confirms single-programme discs are unaffected.

Matthew Jackson 013881ac06 Restore the MP4 conformance fixes I clobbered while landing another agent's work
detect_rate's nearest-match fix, the colr HLG/BT.470 fix and their four tests
were silently reverted. Cause: the r3fix-silent worktree was cut BEFORE the
conformance commit landed, and I landed its work by copying whole files into the
main tree. mp4/mod.rs was in both agents' file sets, so silent's copy — built on
the older base — overwrote the conformance changes wholesale. The gate stayed
green throughout, because reverting a fix and its tests together is perfectly
consistent.

Re-applied the conformance commit's diff for that file with a three-way merge;
both agents' changes to mp4/mod.rs now coexist (final_report, UndescribableAudio
and the max(track_id) id fix are all still present alongside RATE_TOLERANCE_FPS
and the colr resolver delegation).

Only mp4/mod.rs was affected. mp4/audio.rs and mkv.rs were in no other agent's
file set and were intact.

Process lesson, recorded because I would otherwise repeat it: NEVER land a
parallel agent's work by copying whole files, when its worktree was cut at an
older base than HEAD. Apply its DIFF (git apply -3), or rebase its worktree
first. Copying files silently discards anything committed to those files in the
interim, and no test can catch it because the tests disappear with the code.

Matthew Jackson 5f8dc392c0 Sweep the pinned toolchain to Rust 1.97
The Windows UI needs current winsafe, whose real minimum is 1.89 (its manifest
under-declares 1.87 while it uses NonNull::from_ref). Rather than stop at the
minimum, this goes to current stable and fixes what that costs.

The counter-intuitive result: 1.97 is CHEAPER than 1.89. libfreemkv had 54
clippy errors at 1.89 and 6 at 1.97, because clippy tightened the noisy
collapsible_if lint in between. Stopping at the minimum would have been the most
expensive choice available.

Roughly 47 lints across the eight repos, the large majority auto-fixed:
libfreemkv 6, freemkv-engine 14, bdemu 8, freemkv-keysources 7, autorip 6,
freemkv-unlock 3, freemkv-i18n 3. The hand-fixed ones are a descending sort to
sort_by_key(Reverse), four manual checked-division sites, a loop counter replaced
by enumerate, and a loop whose first let-else became a while-let.

Worth recording for whoever bumps next: clippy is MSRV-AWARE. Those 54 lints only
appear once the crate DECLARES 1.89 or later, because let-chains become
available. A bare `cargo +1.89 clippy` against a manifest still pinned at 1.87
reports clean and is meaningless — gate with the real precommit script, which is
also the only thing that covers build scripts.

The pin still sits below the Mac default, so it keeps doing its job: catching
lint drift locally before CI sees it.

Matthew Jackson a32373ff40 Fix fifteen defects across perf, resource, panics and key hygiene
All 21 findings held up under verification; 15 fixed here, 6 deferred to files
another agent held this round, 0 rejected.

**A defect in my own round-2 probe fix.** CHUNK_SECTORS was 1024, and
1024 % 3 == 1 — verified — so every chunk after the first was misaligned against
the 6144-byte AACS aligned unit and would be REJECTED by
DecryptingSectorSource's alignment gate. On an encrypted disc the forced-subtitle
probe I added last round would have read almost nothing past its first chunk.
Now 1023 sectors (341 aligned units) with a const assertion that fails the build
if it stops dividing, plus set_unit_base per extent so the source's gate is
anchored where the extent actually starts.

**The same probe skipped sectors on a short read**, advancing by the REQUESTED
count rather than the bytes actually returned, so a partial read silently left a
gap in the middle of the evidence. It now advances by n/SECTOR_BYTES and clamps n
to the buffer.

**Its cache key omitted the PGS PID set**, so a playlist declaring an extra
subtitle PID got another playlist's verdict for a track that had never been
probed. And the key was the whole extent list, so partial clip sharing missed
entirely. Both fixed by keying (start_lba, sector_count, pid) — and per-extent
keying was shown SOUND rather than assumed: ForcedTracker is two monotone
booleans, so per-extent evidence composes by field-wise OR, order- and
grouping-independently. Making that honest required per-extent demux state, so an
extent's evidence comes only from its own bytes, and memoising only extents whose
read reached a designed stop.

**A reachable panic in the timeline.** mkvstream::parse_block accepts a
TimestampScale up to i64::MAX, so a video frame can set high_ns = i64::MAX and the
next passive frame panicked adding the backstep. In release it wrapped negative
instead, firing the straggler clamp for essentially every passive frame — audio
and subtitles rewritten onto the wrong point of the output timeline. All four
sites saturate.

**A public constructor divided by zero**: PrefetchedSectorSource::new_with_events
with unit_align == 0. Now InvalidInput, matching its batch_sectors sibling.

**Two Debug impls printed key material.** DiscInputs (volume_id, mkb, unit_key_ro,
samples) and UnitKeyFile both derived Debug. Nothing logs them today — fixed as
prevention, because the next tracing::debug! someone adds is the leak. A doc claim
that DiscInputs "contains no secrets" was false and is corrected.

**An env-var multiply could overflow** in file_sector_source; now bounded at 64 GiB
like its writeback sibling, with the parse split out so the bound is testable
without touching process env.

**The mp4 demuxer allowed one sample per file byte** — ~64x RAM amplification.
Now file_len/16, since only vide/soun tracks are indexed and the shortest legal
AC-3 frame is 128 bytes.

**Two pipeline concurrency defects**: a consumer apply() error was invisible to the
producer, and abandon/finalise had a TOCTOU where a caller could report an
unfinalised output. Both fixed with compare-exchange state rather than a bool.

**Two per-frame copies removed**, both MEASURED rather than reasoned: the AU
assembler now hands its allocation to the frame (same pointer, unchanged capacity,
proven by asserting the pointer) and tsmux reuses one Annex-B buffer across
frames. Both keep capacity deliberately — a naive split_off would have cost more
than it saved.

**A comment pointed at the wrong file** for a mirrored constant; the mirror is now
compiler-enforced with a const assertion converting 90 kHz ticks to ns, so drift
fails the build.

Deferred to another agent's files, all confirmed: detect_rate's fractional-twin
snap, the mp4 reserve's u32 truncation, round_up_grain's overflow, the quadratic
base-key gap fill, and MkvStream's frame cap counting frames rather than bytes.

Every fix verified red by reverting it. Also noted for later:
DecodeSampleSet still derives Debug over multi-MB of on-disc ciphertext.

Matthew Jackson 3efa6211f3 Make six silent mux failures observable
All six confirmed against the code. The governing rule this cluster serves: a
lossy or degraded outcome is never silent, because a corrupt rip the user does
not know about is the worst failure available.

**A 3D MKV re-mux silently lost one eye.** The BlockGroup read path had arms for
BLOCK / BLOCK_DURATION / REFERENCE_BLOCK only, so BLOCK_ADDITIONS fell into the
skip arm — while the writer does emit BlockAdditions > BlockMore > BlockAdditional
for the MVC dependent view. Reconstruction was judged out of scope and the
reasoning is recorded: PesFrame has no side-payload field and the header parser
never reads BlockAdditionMapping, so there is no dependent-view track to route the
AU to. Instead the loss is now LOUD — counted in bytes and events, warned once,
and surfaced through MkvStream's errors()/lost_bytes(), which the driver already
samples into MuxOutcome. One detail in the finding was wrong and is corrected: the
re-mux does NOT still advertise the mvcC mapping, because the header parser
ignores that element, so the output is a plain 2D H.264 track.

**An all-titles rip silently skipped real titles.** The header-buffer-cap
overflow returned Error::MkvInvalid, and is_skippable_title_stub matches exactly
E_MKV_INVALID | E_CSS_KEY_MISSING — verified here — so a 512 MiB-of-frames title
was classified as an empty nav/menu PGC stub and dropped. It now has its own
E9051 / MuxHeaderBufferExceeded { bytes }, outside the skippable set.

**The public pre-mux report contradicted the file.** Mp4Sink::finish() drops an
audio track it cannot describe, which I chose last round over failing an export
whose video is fine — but mp4_fit_report still listed that stream as included, so
the application's plan and the actual output disagreed. Fixed at both levels:
Mp4SkipReason is now non_exhaustive with NoSamples and UndescribableAudio,
Mp4Sink::final_report() describes the FILE rather than the plan, and for the
boxed dyn Stream path a defaulted Stream::undelivered_streams() carries the
information out to MuxOutcome::undelivered_streams with a driver-side warn.

**MP4 track ids could collide.** ids were assigned before the retain that drops
sample-less tracks, while next_id came from the post-retain count, so [1,3]
yielded next_id 3. Now max(track_id) + 1, saturating.

**Stream selection silently skipped its codec_privates prune** when the lists were
not the same length — but codec_privates is consumed POSITIONALLY and trailing
extras are documented as benign, so the length-equality guard was itself the bug.
The prune now runs unconditionally by index.

**The m2ts_mux scaffolding armed params_written on both the absent and the
unparseable codec_private arms** — the same defect already fixed in tsmux.rs.
Split into params_attempted (a latch, since retrying identical bytes cannot help)
and params_emitted, with a warn on each failure arm and an accessor so the
eventual wiring and its test can observe it.

Each fix verified red by mutating back to the prior behaviour: errors() 0 vs 1,
E6008 vs E9051, final_report [0,1] vs [0], next_track_id 3 vs [1,3], and the
selection prune resolving index 1 to the wrong track's record.

API surface deliberately widened: MuxOutcome gains a public field and Mp4Sink
becomes public. Nothing in-repo breaks. Note a behaviour change on the mkv://
input path — a 3D re-mux now reports non-zero loss, so a consumer treating
errors > 0 as disc damage will trip on it. That is intended: the outcome IS
degraded.

Matthew Jackson 9ad68dd092 Fix four MP4 conformance defects against the standards
**dec3 declared a 0 kbit/s AC-3 substream.** parse_dolby routes bsid < 11 to
parse_ac3, which leaves data_rate_kbps = 0 and keeps the AC-3 bsid, yet
dolby_sample_entry wrapped that config in ec-3/dec3 for any Codec::Ac3Plus track.
ETSI TS 102 366 Annex F.4 assigns ac-3/dac3 to an AC-3 bitstream and F.6 assigns
ec-3/dec3 to an Enhanced AC-3 one, so the entry now follows the SYNCFRAME that was
actually parsed, not the playlist's codec label. Computing an AC-3 data rate and
keeping ec-3 was rejected: it fixes one field while bit_stream_identification and
num_dep_sub keep misdescribing the stream. The bsid threshold is hoisted into one
constant so parser and entry-chooser cannot drift. Adjacent defect fixed in the
same box: data_rate is 13 bits from a u16 source, so push's mask WRAPPED anything
above 8191 (9000 became 808); it now saturates.

**colr tagged HLG as PQ, and PAL as BT.601.** video_colr carried a second,
drifted copy of the ColorSpace-to-CICP map: transfer 16 (PQ) for every BT.2020
stream with no HdrFormat override, and 6 (BT.601) for Bt470bg. Per ITU-T H.273
Table 3, HLG is 18 and BT.470-6 System B/G is 5 — and mkv::cicp_for_video already
got both right. video_colr now delegates to that shared resolver, so the
duplicated table is gone and cannot drift again. It keeps only its own decision
about WHETHER to emit the box, since an absent colr and an all-unspecified colr
mean the same thing per ISO/IEC 14496-12.

**Exact 24.000 / 30.000 / 60.000 fps was declared 23.976 / 29.97 / 59.94.**
detect_rate took the FIRST STD_RATES entry within 0.5 fps, and every 1000/1001
entry precedes its integer twin 0.024 fps away — a 0.1% error across the whole
track's mdhd and stts. Fixed as nearest-wins rather than by reordering the table:
reordering fixes today's table and re-breaks the moment someone appends a rate,
while nearest-wins is order-independent. Verified red here independently by
reverting to first-match, which fails exactly the two timing tests.

**ddts MultiAssetFlag was set from has_extension.** In the DTSSpecificBox
(ETSI TS 102 114) that flag signals more than one audio ASSET. A DTS-HD MA/HRA
track is one asset whose extension substream carries the XLL/XBR component, so
setting it from "an EXSS sync follows the core" sent a parser looking for a second
asset descriptor while StreamConstruction simultaneously said there was no
extension — the box contradicting itself. This module parses the core header only
and never reads the EXSS asset table, so 0 is the only honest declaration. A
StreamConstruction index for core+EXSS was deliberately NOT invented: that field
is a table lookup that could not be confirmed against the standard, and a wrong
index is worse than an under-declaration.

DTS_AMODE_LAYOUT's masks were independently re-derived against ETSI TS 102 114
§5.3.1 and all 16 are CORRECT — only three adjacent comments were wrong (the
AMODE 2/3/4 annotations were rotated by one, and AMODE 9's said "5.1 with LFE"
when 0x0007 is the 5.0 mask and LFE is OR'd in separately). Comments corrected.

Every one of the eight new tests decodes the field back OUT of the emitted bytes —
data_rate from the dec3 body's leading 13 bits, MultiAssetFlag from bit 48 of the
ddts tail, colr from the nclx payload inside a real stsd, and the frame rate from
mdhd.timescale plus stts.sample_delta of a fully muxed MP4 — rather than
restating arithmetic. This audit has already caught one of my own tests doing the
latter.

NOT fixed, root-caused and recorded at the site instead: an A_PCM/INT/BIG track
ships with no BitDepth, which the Matroska Codec Specifications make a MUST. The
width exists on disc (BD LPCM signals it in the ES header byte 3, DVD in the IFO
audio attribute byte 1) but neither source reaches MkvTrack::audio, and the fix
needs a new AudioStream member plus a deferred setter in files another agent held
this round. Guessing 16 was rejected — it would confidently misdecode every
24-bit disc — as was refusing the track, which would regress the 16-bit majority
that currently plays by accident.

Matthew Jackson 13897e14f0 Resolve the forensic key map once per disc, not once per playlist
resolve_content_key_map loops every title into resolve_mux_key_map, which called
resolve_fmts_key_map FIRST — before the CpsUnitCache — and on an FMTS disc
returned immediately. So every playlist re-derived facts that belong to the DISC:
a full UDF walk plus /AACS/IndividualSegment.tbl, and on an FMTS disc the anchor
probe, the 32-index phase probe, and a fetch.fmts_indexes round trip.

On a 60-playlist disc, measured on a synthetic fixture: 840 -> 14 metadata reads,
2,400 -> 40 probe reads, and 60 -> 1 key-service calls. Worst case before was up
to 256 probe reads and 32 key-service calls per title. The 60 redundant
key-service round trips are a strong candidate for the keyserver storm seen in
the field.

Two memos behind a pub(crate) DiscKeyCache. The table memo (UDF walk + tbl parse)
is disc-invariant outright — nothing in that path mentions the title — and runs on
EVERY disc, so a plain BD benefits too. Only the deterministic negatives are
memoised as "not FMTS"; a DiscRead fault propagates uncached so a later title
retries.

A blind once-per-disc hoist of the PROBES was rejected as unsafe, and this is the
load-bearing reasoning: the title enters through clip_byte_to_lba, which decides
which segments are addressable and which LBA every probed clip byte reads from, so
two titles with different extent lists probe different physical bytes. A hoist
would serve title B an answer derived from title A's media and could silently turn
a per-title FmtsKeyMissing into a success. The extent list is the ONLY per-title
input, so keying on it is exactly sufficient — matching the ForcedProbeCache
precedent.

Result-identity was proved, not assumed: NEITHER probe reads the key pool.
Verified here independently — probe_fmts_index_keys takes no keys parameter at
all; index keys come from `fetch`, and the anchor's reply feeds the phase probe.
So the pool's growth across titles, the one thing that does change between calls,
cannot move a memoised value, and the result is order-independent. A test resolves
three titles through a shared memo and through fresh memos and asserts both the
per-title ranges and the final key pool (keys, slots, order) are identical.

Not memoised, deliberately: fail-loud FmtsKeyMissing, and any run where an index
hit a read fault — that is a property of a transient drive fault, not of the
extents, and caching it would spread one bad read across 59 playlists.

A fully-memoised title now does zero I/O, which made the old in-loop halt polls
unreachable for it, so a check_halt on entry was added with a test that cancels
after warming the memos.

Also corrects my own overstatement from last round: the CpsUnitCache doc now says
plainly that on an FMTS disc it removes NO reads, because this function returns
before the extent loop ever runs.

Five mutations, all verified red. Pre-existing bug flagged but not fixed:
filter_addressable_segments only checks that a segment's START byte maps to some
LBA in the title, so a play-all playlist can pass the filter while mapping segment
bytes into the wrong clip, whose anchor then returns empty and aborts the sweep.

Matthew Jackson b4bf0daa82 Group E-AC-3 dependent substreams into one access unit
The AC-3 parser's own module doc stated the assumption: "AC3 frames are
self-contained and always start with syncword 0x0B77". True for legacy AC-3,
false for E-AC-3 above 5.1. Per ETSI TS 102 366 (A/52) Annex E, byte 2 of an
E-AC-3 syncframe is strmtyp(2) | substreamid(3) | frmsiz[10:8], and an access
unit is one INDEPENDENT substream plus every DEPENDENT substream that follows it
until the next independent one. The parser emitted one PES frame per syncframe,
so a decoder saw each dependent substream as a standalone frame with no parent —
including the AC-3-core + E-AC-3-dependent form Blu-ray uses for Dolby Digital
Plus. The extra channels were lost and the timeline ran at 2x.

The bit position is cross-checked against code already in the tree: the existing
frmsiz parse takes byte2 & 0x07 as its high bits, which is only consistent with
strmtyp occupying byte2's top two bits. Legacy AC-3 is excluded by bsid < 11,
where byte 2 is crc1 and reading strmtyp there would be nonsense. Reserved
strmtyp 3 is treated as INDEPENDENT so an unknown type starts a fresh AU rather
than merging into an unrelated one.

The AU carries the INDEPENDENT substream's PTS, and only the independent
substream advances the clock — dependents cover the same time period and add zero
duration. That is what removes the doubled timeline.

A trailing AU that can still grow is HELD across the PES boundary, because the
boundary is unknowable until the next independent sync; the whole AU is re-scanned
next call, so there is no shift and no double-count in the loss tally. Plain AC-3
is never held, which keeps DVD/AC-3 latency and behaviour unchanged.

A latent pre-existing bug surfaced while testing this: a new PES's PTS was
re-stamping an AU that began in an earlier PES, a constant one-frame shift. Fixed
with a PtsAnchor so a PES timestamp applies to the first AU that STARTS in that
PES's own bytes, while a genuine PTS jump is still adopted.

Nine tests. Verified red against five mutations, each killing a specific set:
reverting to the pre-fix behaviour kills 8 while
plain_ac3_frames_are_not_grouped_or_delayed SURVIVES as the no-regression guard —
reproduced independently here. Stamping the dependent's PTS kills 6; not holding
across PES kills 4; holding plain AC-3 too kills 15; neutering the PTS anchor
kills exactly the 2 split-across-PES timing tests.

Three sibling defects found and deliberately NOT fixed, all in mp4/audio.rs:
dec3 hardcodes num_dep_sub = 0 (and a nonzero value changes the box LAYOUT, not
just a field, per Annex F/G); parse_eac3 ignores strmtyp/substreamid entirely;
and a 7.1 DD+ track is still labelled 5.1 because the channel count comes from
the independent substream while the extra channels are described by the
dependent's chanmap, which nothing parses.

Not verified: no real E-AC-3-with-dependents sample exists here, so all evidence
is synthetic frames plus the spec layout. The multi-independent-substream case
(num_ind_sub > 1, main + associated audio in one PID) is deliberately treated as
one AU per independent substream and is untested.

Matthew Jackson ef36b452ad Fix three defects in last round's own fixes
Round 3 audited the round-1/2 fix commits rather than trusting them, and found
three defects in that new code. This is why the pin moves each round.

1. LICENCE REGRESSION, and it was mine. Reverting the "distinguish a failed key
   source" commit also restored a verbatim reference-decoder table citation in
   src/mux/codec/dts.rs, because both changes were in that one commit. The MIT
   licence cleanup was silently undone at HEAD and nothing caught it.

   The citation is replaced with ETSI TS 102 114 §5.3.1 again, and — more
   importantly — the rule now lives in the leak gate instead of in my memory.
   scan-secrets.sh gains LICENCE_RE, which flags ff_dca*, dcadec, l-smash,
   libav*, and bare ffmpeg/FFmpeg as REF-IMPL-CITATION. `no ffmpeg` is
   explicitly allowed via negative lookbehind: stating what this project does
   NOT depend on carries no risk and is a genuine selling point. Verified by
   re-introducing the citation (gate fails) and removing it (gate clean).

2. TsMuxer armed params_written even when the avcC/hvcC parser returned None, so
   a track whose codec_private exists but will not parse was muxed to BD-TS with
   no VPS/SPS/PPS ever emitted — undecodable video, reported as success, with no
   log line. Last round's fix corrected WHICH parser is used and left this half
   untouched. Arming the flag is still right (retrying identical bytes cannot
   succeed) but it is no longer silent: it now warns with the track, codec and
   codec_private length.

3. test_aes_cbc_roundtrip defined a LOCAL fn aes_cbc_encrypt that SHADOWED the
   production primitive, so it round-tripped a copy of the algorithm against
   itself and never touched crypto::aes_cbc_encrypt — the function this cycle
   added. Any mutation to the shipped code passed it. The shadow is deleted and
   the test now calls the real primitive; verified by mutating
   crypto::aes_cbc_encrypt, which now fails it and previously would not have.

Matthew Jackson 38aa895038 Memoise multi-CPS key-map sampling per extent, not per title
resolve_content_key_map calls resolve_mux_key_map once per title, and on a
multi-CPS disc that path issues 8 random single-unit reads per extent. A disc's
playlists overwhelmingly reference the same few clips — main feature, play-all,
per-chapter and seamless-branch variants — so the same physical extents were
re-sampled from the drive once per playlist. On a 60-playlist / 15-clip disc
that is ~2,400 non-sequential 6144-byte reads, roughly 8 minutes of pure seeking
at 200 ms per seek, before the mux starts. Now ~600 reads.

Keyed per EXTENT — (format, start_lba, sector_count) — rather than per title's
whole extent list, which is finer-grained than the forced-subtitle probe's cache
and strictly better here: a play-all playlist sharing 4 of 5 extents with the
main feature still hits on those 4.

Why a cached pool index is provably identical to a recomputed one, verified
rather than assumed:

  * `pick` iterates the pool IN ORDER and returns the FIRST index whose key
    decrypts a sample to clean.
  * The pool is APPEND-ONLY. Checked across the whole crate: only `push`, with no
    insert/remove/clear/retain/sort/dedup/truncate/drain/swap/reverse anywhere.
    So appended keys can only land AFTER a matched index, and the first match for
    the same samples cannot shift.
  * The samples are a pure function of the three values in the key, read from
    read-only optical media.

Two outcomes are deliberately NOT cached, which is what makes this safe rather
than merely faster:

  * the inherited index (`None if samples.is_empty() => last_idx`) is per-TITLE
    state, not a property of the extent — caching it would let one title's
    carry-in index leak into another title's clear extent, i.e. a WRONG key;
  * the fail-loud DecryptFailed verdict, so a retry after a key source banks the
    missing key re-samples instead of inheriting a stale answer.

Halt is still polled before the cache lookup, so cancellation is unchanged.
resolve_mux_key_map keeps its exact signature and delegates with a fresh cache,
so there is no public API change. ContentFormat gains Eq + Hash (additive).

Four tests, and the two mutants that matter both verified red: disabling the
cache short-circuit fails the hit and recompute-equivalence tests, and wrongly
caching the inherited index fails multi_cps_inherited_index_is_not_cached.
2026-07-29 19:49:55 -07:00
Matthew Jackson e3676e7cdf Build BlockGroups in memory so the hot path never seeks
Every BlockGroup frame back-patched its element size via ebml::end_master, which
does two stream_position() calls and two real seeks. BufWriter does not override
Seek::stream_position, so each position query is seek(Current(0)) = flush_buf +
lseek — and each of those flushed the 4 MiB BufWriter while every position-moving
seek reset WritebackPipeline::last_flush_pos. The buffer never got to do its job.

An MPEG-2 title takes this path for EVERY frame (the parser stamps a per-frame
duration, so I, P and B all become BlockGroups) — roughly 350,000 per feature.

A BlockGroup's size is knowable before writing, so there is no need to back-patch
at all. New seek-free twins start_master_buf / end_master_buf patch a placeholder
by buffer INDEX instead of file offset, and build_block_group assembles the whole
element into a persistent buffer that write_block_group and its MVC sibling take,
fill, write once, and hand back — including on the error path — so the allocation
is made once rather than per frame.

Measured with a counting writer that, like BufWriter, does not override
stream_position, over 200 frames:

              seek calls   position-moving
  plain   before 912              451
  plain   after  112               51
  MVC     before 2516            1253
  MVC     after  116               53

Per-frame cost is now zero; the residual is the header, the per-cluster
back-patch and Cues. For 350k BlockGroups that is 1.4M seek calls removed on the
plain path, 4.2M on an MVC title.

end_master is deliberately NOT changed for its other callers. The Cluster master
genuinely streams — frames are appended to an open cluster over time, so its body
cannot be buffered without holding a whole cluster in memory — and the rest
(EBML header, Tracks, Info, Chapters, Cues) run once, not per frame.

Byte-identity is the safety property, and it is structural: end_master always
patches a FIXED-width 8-byte VINT, and the buffered pair writes and patches
exactly that same placeholder, so the encodings cannot differ. Verified by
capture-then-compare over 200 frames (17 keyframes / 183 non-keyframes, multiple
clusters, BlockDuration present and absent, both reference branches) — output
byte-for-byte identical.

Three tests now pin it permanently: buffered vs seeking output byte-for-byte for
empty/tiny/multi-byte bodies, the same for NESTED masters (the MVC path nests
BlockAdditions > BlockMore, where an index-arithmetic slip would surface), and
end_master_buf erroring rather than panicking on a position outside the buffer.
All three verified red against a deliberately divergent placeholder width.

A note on verifying this kind of change: comparing emitted MKV across two
worktrees at different commits shows a spurious 14-byte difference, because
MuxingApp/WritingApp embed the build's git SHA twice. Compare at the same base.

Matthew Jackson 4ed245868e Revert "Distinguish a failed key source from one with no entry"

2026-07-29 19:15:21 -07:00
Matthew Jackson 50f37462db Remove reference-decoder citations from a public MIT-licensed repo
This crate is MIT licensed. Comments citing another decoder's internal symbols
and reproducing its tables verbatim create licence risk that no engineering
benefit justifies, so every such citation is replaced with the primary source:
ETSI TS 102 114 §5.3.1.

Eleven sites across src/mux/codec/dts.rs and src/mux/mp4/audio.rs. The technical
substance is unchanged in every case — the deficit-sample-count semantics, the
reserved-field skips, the invalid LFF value, and the 16 legal AMODE codes are all
spec facts and are now attributed as such. Four CHANGELOG entries that named a
validator are reworded; the "no a reference decoder" dependency claim stays, since stating
what this project does NOT depend on carries no risk.

I initially argued this was a false positive on the grounds that the project's
hygiene rules name internal infrastructure and reverse-engineering material, not
open-source citations, and that a channel-count table from a standard is fact
rather than expression. That reasoning missed the point: the exposure is MIT
distributing text derived from GPL/LGPL sources, and that is the maintainer's
risk to weigh, not mine. Reversed in full.
2026-07-29 19:09:10 -07:00
Matthew Jackson 22a3e3fd01 Distinguish a failed key source from one with no entry
resolve_and_apply_traced collapsed `Ok(_) | Err(_)` into a single
KeyNode::NoEntry step, so a key source that FAILED — server unreachable, keydb
unreadable, malformed entry — was recorded identically to one that simply had no
entry for this disc. The front-end renders that trace, so it told the operator
their disc is not in the database when the real cause was a fixable
infrastructure problem. drive_unit_keys and drive_fmts_indexes were refactored
this cycle to preserve exactly this distinction; this path had not been.

KeyNode gains a SourceFailed variant and the two arms are split. freemkv's
trace renderer matches KeyNode exhaustively with no catch-all, so its arm is
added in the same change — otherwise the consumer would not build.

Also made ETSI TS 102 114 the primary authority for DTS_AMODE_COUNT's comment
rather than a reference decoder internal symbol, and pointed it at this
crate's own cross-checked DTS_AMODE_LAYOUT / DTS_AMODE_CH tables.

A round-2 finding asked for every a reference decoder and a reference decoder citation in the DTS parser
to be stripped as a public-repo hygiene violation. Rejected: the project's rules
(scan-secrets.sh, CLAUDE.md) prohibit internal infrastructure references and
reverse-engineering material, and a reference-decoder citation is neither. The
AMODE channel-count table is a factual table from the standard, not expression
copied from an implementation. Citing the spec plus a corroborating
implementation is how a decodability gate should be justified.
