Pass N (patch) pinned the slow recovery speed (0x0000) for the whole pass.
But Pass 1's damage-jump overshoots, so most of a jumped range is clean data
the reverse-walk reads first — grinding it at slow speed wastes minutes per
gap. Now each range mirrors Pass 1's model:
- Enter at max speed (0xFFFF) + reset to the initial batch (current_batch
carries across ranges, so a prior single-sector grind would otherwise start
the next range slow). Reads the clean overshoot fast.
- First read failure in the range → drop to 0x0000 (once; idempotent SET CD
SPEED) for the rest of that range — grind only the genuine damage.
- 10 s halt-responsive cooldown between ranges, gated on "this range actually
grinded" so a many-small-range pass (100+ ranges) doesn't stall ~20 min on
unconditional pauses.
No change to good/bad classification, the mapfile, or the abort math — purely
read speed + an inter-range cooldown. Synthetic speed-transition test to follow.
ContainerKind {Ts,Ps} + ClipLayout.container thread the post-decrypt structural check per clip; decryptability() dispatches it (TS: unit_is_clean_ts, PS: unit_is_clean_ps). New decrypt_unit_checked(unit,key,accept) decouples the container-agnostic AACS crypto from the format-specific acceptance (decrypt_unit delegates with the TS check). unit_is_clean_ps is the MPEG-2 PS pack-start check, documented UNVALIDATED for HD-DVD (.evo unit/seed/pack alignment must be confirmed on real media). clip_layouts assigns Ts today; .evo->Ps is the one-line HD-DVD hook.
reverify_iso now takes an is_finished predicate and SKIPS any unit with a non-Finished backing sector: we can't verify what wasn't read (a non-Finished sector is zero-filled because the drive read failed there), and must never waste a key lookup on a block the read already knows is bad. observe() (sweep) was already safe (only fed Good bytes).
Post-read verify gate (new src/disc/verify.rs): UnitVerifier buffers/aligns the disc-absolute read stream into clip-file 6144-byte units, then makes one decryptability() decision per unit (CPI gate -> held keys -> key_fetch -> strict TS). POST_READ_VERIFY const kill-switch; fail-safe contract (only ever downgrades units it is confident are undecryptable; every doubt skips). Hooked into Disc::sweep (producer observes ciphertext -> WorkItem::MarkBad after the Good, FIFO-ordered) and Disc::patch (post-loop reverify_iso reads recovered units whole from the patched ISO). extract::clip_layouts enumerates AACS clips for the gate.
Standards-correct AACS verify: aacs::unit_is_clean_ts is a strict port of libaacs _verify_ts (all 32 TS syncs, not a majority vote); decrypt_unit accepts a key only on it; the majority verify_ts is removed. Deleted the Disc::verify_clips post-pass bolt-on (its primitive is absorbed by the read-path gate).
libaacs/DVD audit fixes: content-cert bus_encryption flag now read from bit 7 (was bit 0 - defeated the bus-key fail-loud gate); cc_id read from offset 14; title_cps_unit range-validated + 1->0 index-converted per libaacs. Corrected attack_crib ("functionally-equivalent" not "exact" port) and read_disc_key (READ DVD STRUCTURE 0xAD, not REPORT KEY) doc comments.
Also includes accumulated uncommitted work: key-fetch seam and TrueHD/DTS audio fix.
mux/mkv: assert emitted CODEC_PRIVATE bytes verbatim for H.264/HEVC/VC-1/
MPEG-2 (direct TrackEntry child, not nested in Video) and DefaultDuration ns
for all eight frame rates, read back out of a real MkvMuxer.
disc/sweep: end-to-end Disc::sweep against a synthetic MockReader with an
injected bad region, asserting the resulting mapfile marks the clean lead
Finished and the failed batch + zero-filled skip-ahead gap NonTrimmed,
proving the Pass-1 damage-jump engaged.
disc/patch: introduce a minimal clock seam (fn() -> Instant on the internal
PatchLoopState, defaulting to Instant::now) so the per-range and whole-pass
watchdogs are deterministically testable; public API and callers unchanged,
production behavior identical. Add tests that advance a fake clock to trip the
range budget and whole-pass stall predicate.
aacs: add an AES-128-CBC known-answer test for aes_cbc_decrypt using the
published NIST SP 800-38A F.2.2 vector (blocks 1..3 exact; block 0 via the
documented fixed-AACS-IV substitution).
Add PassProgress::bytes_retryable_total (NonTrimmed/NonScraped — failed
and awaiting retry), distinct from bytes_pending_total which also folds
in not-yet-attempted (NonTried) bytes. Set it at every construction site
(Sweep from the snapshot, Patch from stats, 0 for sequential/placeholder
paths). The disc-level 'lost' display in the CLI can now use
unreadable+retryable instead of unreadable+pending, so a healthy
in-progress rip no longer reports its unread remainder as lost.
Adds Disc::ensure_decryptable / ensure_decryptable_keys, the single decrypt
gate consulted before any copy or mux. When the source is encrypted and no
key resolved (and not --raw), abort with a typed error and write nothing,
instead of silently emitting ciphertext at exit 0. Unifies the prior ad-hoc
CSS/AACS checks.
The comment at line 404 claimed "every non-Finished range" but the
immediately-following ranges_with call lists only NonTrimmed,
NonScraped, and Unreadable — deliberately omitting NonTried.
Update the comment to accurately reflect the actual status list and
explain that NonTried is excluded because it is handled by a preceding
sweep pass, not by patch.
- patch (Pass N) now aborts immediately on transport failure (status=0xFF),
symmetric with the sweep and single-pass mux. Previously a USB-bridge crash
was treated as an ordinary bad sector and the pass hammered the crashed
device sector-by-sector until the per-range watchdog expired. (medium)
- patch AACS recovery reads are now unit-aligned: a mid-unit single-sector
read on an AACS disc was rejected by the decrypting reader (DecryptFailed)
and the sector abandoned without asking the drive. The read is now widened
to the enclosing whole 3-sector unit and the requested window copied out,
leaving all recovery accounting (pos/block_bytes/cursor) untouched so it
cannot desync. Only affected CLI decrypt-to-ISO --multipass re-runs. (low)
- IOCTL_STORAGE_RESET_DEVICE corrected 0x002D1004 -> 0x002DD000 (the old value
decoded to function 0x401 with the access bits cleared, so DeviceIoControl
would fail ERROR_INVALID_FUNCTION instead of resetting). Windows-only. (low)
Adds a transport-failure classification regression test.
Spec-grounded unit tests for the silent-corruption surfaces, each verified to
fail under a targeted source mutation (no vacuous tests).
udf (10): Extended-AD 20-byte stride + extent LBA at off+12, type-1 sparse
extents skipped not emitted, zero-length type-0 terminator, continuation-loop
bound (anti-hang), UTF-16BE and 8-bit name decoding, FID L_IU offset, parent
(..) FID skip, d-string length-byte cap. Locks the spec branches a future
allocation-descriptor refactor must not silently break.
recovery (9): Pass-N damage-skip range bounds (forward/reverse cursor stays in
range), one-quarter-of-remaining skip cap, below-threshold no-op, work-done
accounting, and bridge-degradation retry-to-budget fall-through.
Library-wide review-and-fix pass: tightened AACS keydb/handshake/variant
handling and trailing-partial-unit policy, corrected MPLS mark offset and
added UDF allocation bounds, hardened the mux/codec framing and M2TS paths,
guarded SCSI READ CAPACITY short transfers and unified error mapping, added
overflow guards on untrusted disc input, and made prefetch shutdown
deterministic. Release profile now builds with thin LTO + single codegen unit.
WO-5 (partial): the patch backtrack inner loop ('while bt_pos <
backtrack_end' in disc/patch.rs) issues per-sector reads to fill the
gap created by a damage-window skip. A long backtrack span can run
minutes; without an inline halt poll, the outer halt only takes
effect when control returns to the per-range loop. Adds a halt poll
at the top of each iteration so cancellation propagates inside the
backtrack span.
Per-sector read failures inside the backtrack already drop through
to the main fail path; this only changes the cancellation latency
between an /api/stop call and the producer actually unwinding. Drops
worst-case unwind from 'whole backtrack span × per-sector recovery
timeout' (minutes) to 'one in-flight SCSI command' (seconds).
The broader Arc<AtomicBool> → Halt migration on CopyOptions /
SweepOptions / PatchOptions / Drive::halt and Pipeline::send halt-
awareness is deferred — separate cycle, larger API impact.
WO-3c: Delete dead non-NOT_READY retry block (~100 LOC). The block
declared retry_count = 0 inside the per-iteration Err arm, so the
'MAX_NON_NOT_READY_RETRIES=3' budget actually fired exactly once
(1s pause + 1 retry) before falling through to NonTrimmed. The
'exponential backoff: 2s, 4s, 8s' comment was wrong by construction.
Cross-pass NonTrimmed retry (each pass gives the same sectors another
shot) already covers the recovery case, and gives the drive minutes
between attempts instead of 1-8 seconds — empirically what stochastic
recovery on the BU40N actually needs.
WO-4 (targeted slice): Add wedge-family cooldown on HARDWARE_ERROR /
ILLEGAL_REQUEST senses. These are what the BU40N's firmware fast-fail
state returns; every subsequent read in that state comes back in
<100ms. Pre-fix patch hammered the drive: mark NonTrimmed, sleep 1s,
advance, hit next wedge, mark, sleep 1s — exactly the rapid-retry
cadence the firmware is sensitive to. Now a wedge-family sense triggers
WEDGE_FAMILY_COOLDOWN_SECS=30 cooldown (matches read_error.rs's
ZONE_ENTRY_COOLDOWN_SECS), and WEDGE_ABORT_THRESHOLD=16 consecutive
wedges aborts the pass for autorip eject+reload. Any non-wedge read
clears the counter.
Also drops the duplicate NonTrimmed dispatch (Mapfile::record is
idempotent so it wasn't a correctness bug, but it doubled per-failure
consumer work).
WO-2 (delete SectorReader trait):
- The 0.18 trait split into SectorSource (read-only) and SectorSink
(write-only) is final; the legacy SectorReader alias was a bridge.
- Renames every internal &mut dyn SectorReader (~25 sites) to
&mut dyn SectorSource. The trait method capacity() becomes
capacity_sectors() with a default of 0 (preserves SectorReader's
default-0 behavior).
- Deletes the SectorReader trait, its blanket-to-Source bridge, and
the FileSectorReader type alias. Adds explicit forwarding impls
for Box<dyn SectorSource> and &mut dyn SectorSource so generic
decorators like DecryptingSectorSource<S: SectorSource> compose.
WO-3a (extract Disc::patch):
- Moves Disc::patch (1230 lines) and bytes_bad_in_title from
disc/mod.rs into disc/patch.rs as a split inherent impl. Zero
behavior change — pure mechanical relocation. disc/mod.rs drops
from 3,945 to 2,714 LOC.
WO-6 (partial):
- Deletes src/labels/png_filenames.rs — was a 72-LOC stub with
detect() returning false, never wired into the PARSERS registry.
project docs doc drift fixes (audited 2026-05-13):
- JUMP_BASE_SECTORS: 256→1024 (64 MB base for UHD, not 8 MB)
- PASSN_DAMAGE_THRESHOLD_PCT: 12→6
- PASSN_SKIP_SECTORS_BASE: 64→32
- MAX_RANGE_SECS=180: replaced by proportional range_sectors × 25,
capped at RANGE_BUDGET_CAP_SECS=1800.
User design call after watching Pass 2 mark ~20 KB as "Cosmetic"
(permanently Unreadable) after just 10 retries within a single pass:
"i think it's good or maybe until all passes are done. then it's
gone."
That contradicts what the multi-pass design promises a user. The
project goal in project docs is "recover 100% of readable data from any
optical disc, automatically." Marking sectors Unreadable after a
SINGLE pass's per-range retry budget gives up on sectors that
subsequent passes might recover — drive reads are stochastic, the
sector that fails 10 times in Pass 2 may succeed on attempt 1 in
Pass 3 after temperature / bus state / prior-read patterns shift.
The patch.rs doc comment already noted ~36% of patch-marked
Unreadable sectors turned out to be readable in re-rip experiments.
Three sites in `Disc::patch` were emitting `PatchItem::Unreadable`
mid-pass:
- backtrack hit damage (line ~2659)
- all-retries-exhausted on a single LBA (line ~2846)
- redundant second mark after the wedge-suspicion log (line ~2970)
All three now emit `PatchItem::NonTrimmed` instead. Failed bytes
stay "maybe" (NonTrimmed) so the next pass gets another shot. The
per-range skip-limit (10) and per-pass wedge-threshold (50) still
bound time-per-pass; they just no longer turn the bytes terminal.
The `PatchItem::Unreadable` variant stays in the enum (with
#[allow(dead_code)]) because the orchestrator-side end-of-recovery
promotion will use it: autorip, after the final retry pass
completes, scans the mapfile and promotes still-NonTrimmed →
Unreadable. That promotion lands in a follow-up commit on the
autorip side — separable from this libfreemkv change.
Loss accounting unchanged: `bytes_pending + bytes_unreadable` is
the "lost or pending" total that `abort_on_lost_secs` consults
(disc/mod.rs:1327). Moving bytes from one bucket to the other
mid-pass doesn't affect whether the rip would abort; it only
affects display (UI shows "Maybe" vs "Cosmetic") and whether
subsequent passes retry the bytes (the actual fix).
Test update: `test_pass_progress_separates_unreadable_from_pending`
was renamed to `test_pass2_leaves_failed_reads_as_pending_not_unreadable`
and rewritten to assert the new invariant — Pass 2 leaves all
failed bytes as bytes_pending (no mid-pass Unreadable promotion).
Original assertions were checking the pre-design-call behavior.
Precommit (cargo +1.86 fmt + clippy + test) green.
Auto-fmt nit on the multi-line map.flush() expression that landed
when the sweep + patch + DiscStream-FrameSource branches were merged
together. No semantic change.
Patch was strictly serial (per-sector recovery: read → seek+write
→ mapfile.record → next). Lifting the write+record onto a consumer
thread lets the drive issue the next per-sector retry while the
previous block's recovered bytes are being committed — small but
real win on damaged discs with many bad sectors, and uniform with
sweep's threading model.
- New PatchSink: Sink<PatchItem> impl in src/disc/patch.rs. Owns
WritebackFile + Mapfile. apply() seeks+writes recovered bytes
and records mapfile state per item; close() runs sync_all and
mapfile.flush.
- Channel depth: WRITE_THROUGH_DEPTH (1). Patch wants minimum
buffering — back-pressure should kick in immediately so the
drive's per-sector retry budget isn't ahead of the writer.
- Disc::patch: keeps every existing recovery decision on the
producer (reverse walk, damage-window skip, NOT_READY pauses,
bridge-degradation handling, wedge exit, range watchdog).
WritebackFile ownership moves to the sink.
Behaviour-preserving: per-sector single-shot read budget unchanged
(BU40N+Initio bridge wedge concern still respected); recovery
algorithm bit-identical.
