WIP: OEM disc-keys CDB path — parked pending CDB template discovery

Adds a 5th key-resolution path (KeySource::OemDiscKeys) that uses a
per-drive OEM CDB to retrieve disc-key candidates from drive firmware,
then validates each as a Media Key against the MKB's verify record
before deriving VUK and unit keys.

End-to-end plumbing is in place: handshake-side capture, best-effort
propagation through HandshakeResult, short-circuit in resolve_encryption
ahead of the classical Path 1-4 chain, validate_media_key_against_mkb
helper with unit tests, two new error variants.

Not usable yet:
- No drive profile populates the read_disc_keys_cdb template.
- Semantic of returned bytes is unconfirmed. Current code assumes MK
  candidates; PK candidates is a more architecturally sensible
  alternative (PKs are per-MKBv finite-set, MKs are per-disc).
  Either interpretation needs empirical confirmation against a drive
  whose firmware actually exposes a disc-keys CDB.
- src/aacs/verify_magics.rs has speculative non-spec constants and
  RE-provenance prose; must not ship to public repos in current form.

Parked here so the plumbing survives if/when the CDB bytes turn up.

+# libfreemkv — Rules
+
+## No English in library code
+
+The library contains ZERO user-facing English text. All errors use numeric codes from `error.rs`. Applications (CLI, GUI, server) handle i18n.
+
+- `io::Error::new(kind, "english string")` — NEVER. Use `Error::VariantName.into()`.
+- If you need a new error, add a variant to `error.rs` with a code, not a string.
+- Acceptable strings: debug/trace logging, test assertions, comments, data format strings (paths, codec IDs).
+- `Error` implements `From<Error> for io::Error` — use `?` or `.into()` anywhere an `io::Error` is expected.
+
+## Architecture
+
+- **Streams are PES.** Every stream reads its format → PES frames out, or PES frames in → writes its format. One type per format.
+- **Disc::copy() for sector dumps.** disc→ISO is NOT a stream. It's `Disc::copy()`.
+- **DiscStream = any disc.** Physical drive or ISO file. Same type, different SectorReader.
+- **No IOStream.** Deleted. No byte-level Read/Write on streams.
+- **Streams don't know their size.** Progress/file_size is a CLI concern.
+- **One method per action.** No `foo_with_X` variants. Use `Option<T>` params.
+- **Streams impl Read only (conceptually).** No Seek, no File backing.
+- **Functions return errors, only main() exits.** No `process::exit` in library code.
+
+## Device rules
+
+- Always use `/dev/sg*` not `/dev/sr*` for SCSI.
+- `--raw` only skips decryption. Init/probe/speed still run.
+- Each function does one thing. One runner orchestrates the sequence.
+
+## AACS key sources
+
+Single source: `keydb.cfg`. Located at `~/.config/freemkv/keydb.cfg` by
+default, or pointed at via `ScanOptions::keydb_path`. The file holds
+all DKs, PKs, host certs, and per-disc VUK entries. No keys are
+compiled into the binary.
+
+CSS player keys (DVD) remain compiled in — they're 1999-era public
+inputs separate from the AACS key pipeline and have always lived in
+`src/css/auth.rs`.
+
+The library treats a missing `keydb.cfg` for an AACS-encrypted disc as
+`Error::KeydbLoad` with the sentinel path `<no keydb in search paths>`.
+CLIs render this as "no KEYDB.cfg found"; consumers can disambiguate
+on the sentinel string.
+
+## macOS IOKit transport
+
+The macOS SCSI transport uses exclusive IOKit access, not hybrid MMC+pread.
+
+- **C shim** (`src/scsi/macos_shim.c`):
+  - `shim_open_exclusive(bsd_name)`: `diskutil unmountDisk force` on target device only → find `IOBDServices` matching BSD name via IOKit registry walk → MMCDeviceInterface → SCSITaskDeviceInterface → `ObtainExclusiveAccess` → raw CDB dispatch.
+  - `shim_list_drives()`: registry-based enumeration. Walks all `IOBDServices` entries, reads `"Device Characteristics"` for vendor/model/firmware, walks child chain to `IOMedia` for BSD name. Zero SCSI, zero exclusive access, zero unmounts.
+  - `shim_execute()` / `shim_close()`: raw CDB dispatch and cleanup.
+- **Build** (`build.rs`): compiles shim via `cc` into static lib, linked by Cargo. NOT the `cc` crate (produces object code that breaks IOKit exclusive access).
+- **Rust** (`src/scsi/macos.rs`): FFI to `shim_open_exclusive`, `shim_close`, `shim_execute`, `shim_list_drives`. `list_drives()` uses registry-based enumeration. `MacScsiTransport::open()` uses exclusive access only when ripping a specific device.
+- **IOBDServices parent chain**: IOSCSIPeripheralDeviceType05 → IOBDServices → IOBDBlockStorageDriver → IOMedia (has `"BSD Name"`). The shim walks this chain to match BSD name to IOBDServices.
+- **IOKit lookup order**: (1) iterate all IOBDServices → match child IOMedia BSD name, (2) fallback: find IOMedia by BSD name → walk parent chain to IOBDServices, (3) fallback: first IOBDServices (single-drive systems).
+- **Test disc**: DUNE_PART_TWO UHD, `/dev/disk6`, ~84.6 GB.
+
+## Bad-sector handling (BU40N + Initio INIC-1618L)
+
+Three failure modes on this USB bridge:
+1. **NOT READY** (sense_key=2, ASC=0x04, ASCQ=0x3E) — most common on BU40N for bad sectors. Pause 3s, retry up to 3x, then mark NonTrimmed.
+2. **Transport failure** (status=0xFF) — bridge crash, auto-recovers ~15s. Aborts copy.
+3. **INCOMPATIBLE FORMAT** (ASC=0x30) wedge — ALL sectors fail, requires power cycle.
+
+### Damage-jump algorithm (Pass 1 sweep)
+
+When `skip_on_error=true` (multipass mode):
+- Read each ECC block sequentially. Track a sliding window of the last 16 ECC block results.
+- On error: zero-fill, mark NonTrimmed, push `false` to window.
+- On success: write data, mark Finished, push `true` to window. Track consecutive good count.
+- When ≥12% of the 16-block window are failures → **jump** ahead by `JUMP_BASE_SECTORS (1024) × batch × multiplier` sectors. For UHD encrypted ECC (batch=32) that's a 64 MiB base jump. Zero-fill the gap as NonTrimmed. Double the multiplier (64→128→256→512 MiB...) up to `MAX_JUMP_MULTIPLIER=64` (4 GiB cap). Plus a separate wedge-skip path of `WEDGE_JUMP_SECTORS=524288` (1 GiB) for HARDWARE_ERROR / ILLEGAL_REQUEST senses, capped at 16 consecutive wedges.
+- When 16 consecutive good reads → reset multiplier to 1, restore max read speed.
+- Only transport failures (bridge crash) abort the pass.
+
+Tuning knobs: `DAMAGE_WINDOW=16` and `DAMAGE_THRESHOLD_PCT=12%`. Calibrated from live BU40N data: old 50/25% was too diluted by good reads between sparse failures; 16/12% triggers on the 2nd scattered failure (2/16 = 12.5% ≥ 12%).
+
+### Patch (Pass N) — `disc/mod.rs:1910`
+
+- Default: **reverse** mode. Walks bad ranges from highest LBA to lowest, and within each range from end to start. Rationale: sweep jumps forward with escalating gaps, so NonTrimmed ranges have good data at their tail (where the jump landed). Reverse hits good data first, converges on actual bad block boundaries.
+- Single-sector reads with 60 s timeout (`READ_RECOVERY_TIMEOUT_MS`).
+- NOT_READY (sense=2, ASC ∈ {0x02, 0x03, 0x04}): 15 s pause, retry without immediate Unreadable mark.
+- Non-marginal SCSI sense → mark Unreadable and continue.
+- Skip escalation: damage window 16, `PASSN_DAMAGE_THRESHOLD_PCT=6`, skip `PASSN_SKIP_SECTORS_BASE (32) << escalation` sectors capped at `PASSN_SKIP_SECTORS_CAP=4096`; `MAX_SKIPS_PER_RANGE=10`, then mark range Unreadable.
+- Wedge exit: 50 consecutive failures **and** ≥ 2 ranges attempted (single-range stalls don't kill the pass).
+- Whole-pass watchdog: `STALL_SECS = 3600` on `bytes_good`. Per-range watchdog: proportional `range_sectors × SECONDS_PER_SECTOR(25)`, capped at `RANGE_BUDGET_CAP_SECS=1800` (replaces the old flat 180s/range — tiny ranges got starved).
+
+Constants live in `disc/patch.rs::Disc::patch` (PASSN_*, STALL_SECS, SECONDS_PER_SECTOR, RANGE_BUDGET_CAP_SECS, MAX_SKIPS_PER_RANGE). The full algorithm is documented in `freemkv-private/memory/project_recovery_v0_16.md`.
+
+## Public repo rules
+
+- **No internal docs.** Audit reports, test plans, roadmaps, TODOs go in freemkv-private, never here.
+- **No Co-Authored-By** in commit messages. One contributor: MattJackson.
+- **No private references.** No Gitea URLs, no /data/code paths, no internal IPs in code.

+
+### Multi-pass recovery rip
+
+For damaged discs the library exposes two flat verbs — `Disc::sweep` for the

 ## What It Does
 
-- **Drive access** — open, identify, unlock for raw reads
-- **Disc scanning** — UDF 2.50 filesystem, MPLS playlists, CLPI clip info, BD-J labels
-- **AACS decryption** — transparent key resolution and content decrypt (1.0 + 2.0)
-- **Content reading** — sector reads with automatic decryption
+- **Drive access** — open, identify, unlock, firmware upload, speed calibration, eject
+- **12+ MB/s reads** — auto-detects kernel transfer limits, sustained full speed
+- **Disc scanning** — UDF 2.50 filesystem, MPLS playlists, CLPI clip info
+- **Stream labels** — 5 BD-J format parsers (Paramount, Criterion, Pixelogic, CTRM, Deluxe)
+- **AACS decryption** — transparent key resolution and content decrypt (1.0 + 2.0 bus decryption)
+- **KEYDB updates** — download, verify, save from any HTTP URL (zero deps, raw TCP)
+- **Content reading** — adaptive batch reads with automatic decryption
+- **Stream I/O** — unified stream pipeline for reading and writing any format
 
-AACS decryption requires a KEYDB.cfg file. If available at `~/.config/aacs/KEYDB.cfg` or passed via `ScanOptions`, the library handles everything — handshake, key derivation, and per-sector decryption — without the application needing to know anything about encryption.
+### Streams
+
+| Stream | Input | Output | Transport |
+|--------|-------|--------|-----------|
+| DiscStream | Yes | -- | Optical drive via SCSI |
+| IsoStream | Yes | -- | Blu-ray ISO image file (read via stream pipeline; written via `Disc::sweep()`) |
+| MkvStream | Yes | Yes | Matroska container |
+| M2tsStream | Yes | Yes | BD transport stream with FMKV metadata header |
+| NetworkStream | Yes (listen) | Yes (connect) | TCP with FMKV metadata header |
+| StdioStream | Yes (stdin) | Yes (stdout) | Raw byte pipe |
+| NullStream | -- | Yes | Discard sink (byte counter for benchmarks) |
+
+Streams implement `FrameSource` (read) and/or `FrameSink` (write); direction is type-checked. `input()` / `output()` resolve URL strings to PES stream instances. All URLs use the `scheme://path` format — bare paths are rejected.
+
+### Keys
+
+DVDs (CSS) decrypt out of the box — the 1999-era public player keys are compiled into the library.
+
+Blu-rays and UHD (AACS) require a `keydb.cfg` at `~/.config/freemkv/keydb.cfg` (or passed via `ScanOptions`). The file holds all DKs, PKs, host certs, and per-disc VUKs. No AACS key material is compiled into the binary.

+
+Common problems and solutions for optical drive ripping with freemkv.
+
+---
+
+## 1. USB-SATA Bridge Issues
+
+This is the single most common source of problems when ripping discs over USB.
+
+### Symptoms
+
+- The drive disappears mid-rip. The ripping tool reports the device is gone, and `ls /dev/sg*` no longer shows it.
+- The device re-enumerates under a different name: `sg4` becomes `sg5`, then `sg7`, then `sg11` after each USB port reset.
+- `dmesg` shows USB port resets: `usb X-Y: reset high-speed USB device`, `xhci_hcd 0000:00:14.0: Cannot enable. Maybe the USB cable is bad?`, or `usb-storage: device reset failed`.
+- The SCSI layer reports `host_status=7` (Linux USB transport error) in sense data.
+- The drive works fine for reading data discs or burning, but crashes when hitting damaged sectors during a rip.
+- After the crash, the drive is completely invisible until physically unplugged and reconnected.
+
+### Root Cause
+
+USB-SATA bridges translate between the USB Mass Storage protocol (BOT or UAS) and the drive's native SATA interface. When the optical drive encounters an unreadable sector, it returns a SCSI CHECK CONDITION with sense key 0x03 (MEDIUM ERROR). Some bridge chipsets -- particularly the Initio INIC-36xx family -- have buggy firmware that mishandles this error response.
+
+Specific failure modes:
+
+- **Incorrect residue reporting.** The bridge claims a different number of bytes transferred than what actually occurred. The Linux USB storage driver sees this discrepancy as a protocol violation and resets the port to recover. The `US_FL_IGNORE_RESIDUE` quirk exists specifically for this class of bug (see `drivers/usb/storage/transport.c` in the Linux kernel).
+- **Bridge firmware crash.** On some Initio bridges, a malformed SCSI error response from the drive causes the bridge MCU to hang entirely. The USB controller sees the device stop responding and initiates a port reset. The bridge recovers (it re-enumerates), but the rip is dead -- all state is lost.
+- **Sense data corruption.** The bridge forwards garbled or truncated sense data to the host, which the SCSI midlayer cannot parse, leading to a transport reset.
+
+This is a hardware + firmware problem, not a software bug. The same drive connected via direct SATA does not exhibit these symptoms.
+
+### Known Affected Bridges
+
+| Chipset | USB IDs | Notes |
+|---------|---------|-------|
+| Initio INIC-3609 | `13fd:3609` | Very common in cheap SATA-to-USB enclosures. Highly problematic. |
+| Initio INIC-3619 | `13fd:3940` | Same firmware family as INIC-3609. |
+| Initio INIC-3069 | `13fd:0840` | Older variant, same residue bug. |
+| ASMedia ASM1051 | `174c:5106` | Early ASM SATA bridge. Residue issues on error paths. |
+| JMicron JMB36x | `152d:0561` | Some firmware versions. Not all JMicroon chips are affected. |
+
+If your drive came in a pre-built external enclosure (Vantec, Sabrent, OWC, etc.), it almost certainly uses one of these bridge chips internally.
+
+### The Fix: USB Storage Quirk
+
+Apply the `US_FL_IGNORE_RESIDUE` kernel quirk for your bridge. This tells the Linux USB storage driver to ignore the residue field in SCSI response frames, preventing the port reset on mismatched byte counts.
+
+**Step 1: Identify your bridge's vendor:product ID.**
+
+```bash
+lsusb
+```
+
+Look for your drive's entry. Example output:
+
+```
+Bus 002 Device 005: ID 13fd:0840 Initio Corporation INIC-3609
+```
+
+Here the vendor ID is `13fd` and the product ID is `0840`.
+
+**Step 2: Apply the quirk at runtime.**
+
+```bash
+echo "13fd:0840:i" > /sys/module/usb_storage/parameters/quirks
+```
+
+Replace `13fd:0840` with your device's actual IDs. The `:i` flag means `US_FL_IGNORE_RESIDUE`.
+
+You can combine multiple flags. Common additions:
+
+- `:i` -- ignore residue (`US_FL_IGNORE_RESIDUE`)
+- `:u` -- force BOT mode instead of UAS, for bridges with UAS bugs
+
+**Step 3: Reconnect the drive.** Unplug and replug the USB cable, or bind/unbind the device. The quirk is applied per-module-load, so existing sessions may need the drive reconnected.
+
+### Making It Persistent
+
+Add the quirk to your kernel boot parameters so it survives reboots.
+
+Edit `/etc/default/grub` (GRUB) and add to `GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT`:
+
+```
+GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet usb_storage.quirks=13fd:0840:i"
+```
+
+Then rebuild the GRUB config:
+
+```bash
+sudo update-grub
+```
+
+For systemd-boot, add to your loader entry or `/etc/kernel/cmdline`:
+
+```
+usb_storage.quirks=13fd:0840:i
+```
+
+Multiple devices can be separated by commas:
+
+```
+usb_storage.quirks=13fd:0840:i,174c:5106:u
+```
+
+### Recommended Bridges
+
+If you are buying a USB-SATA adapter or enclosure for optical drive use:
+
+| Bridge | USB IDs | Notes |
+|--------|---------|-------|
+| ASMedia ASM1153 | `174c:1153` | Reliable. Widely available in SATA-USB 3.0 cables. |
+| JMicron JMS578 | `152d:0578` | Good firmware. Supports UASP. |
+| Icy Box IB-AC640-C3 | N/A | Uses a known-good bridge internally. Plug-and-play. |
+
+Avoid any enclosure or adapter listing an Initio chipset.
+
+### Best Solution: Direct SATA
+
+Connect your optical drive directly to a motherboard SATA port. This eliminates the USB-SATA bridge entirely and is the most reliable configuration:
+
+- No USB protocol overhead or translation errors.
+- No bridge firmware bugs.
+- No port resets or re-enumeration.
+- Full SATA error recovery handled natively by the kernel's libata driver.
+- Sustained read speeds are limited only by the drive, not the USB bus.
+
+If your machine has a free SATA port, use it.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Damaged Disc Handling
+
+### Symptoms
+
+- SCSI MEDIUM ERROR (sense key 0x03) at specific LBAs. `dmesg` shows `sr X:0:0:0: [srY] Unrecoverable read error` or similar.
+- Read speed drops to near zero when approaching a damaged area.
+- The drive makes audible retrying noises (laser repositioning, spindle speed changes).
+- On USB-connected drives: the bridge crashes (see section 1 above) when the drive returns the error.
+
+### How freemkv Handles This
+
+freemkv uses a three-layer recovery model. See [`docs/rip-recovery.md`](docs/rip-recovery.md) for full details.
+
+- **Pass 1 (Disc::copy):** Fast sweep with 64 KB reads. On failure, zero-fills the block and skips forward. Writes a ddrescue-format mapfile for later retry.
+- **Pass 2+ (Disc::patch):** Targeted re-reads of bad ranges with a long 30-second timeout per CDB. The drive firmware performs its own ECC and laser power retries within that window.
+- **In-stream (DiscStream):** Adaptive batch halving -- reduces request size on failure to isolate bad sectors within a larger block.
+
+This means a disc with some bad sectors will still produce a usable ISO. The damaged areas are zero-filled in pass 1 and retried in subsequent passes. Structure-protected sectors (deliberate unreadable regions from copy protection) will never yield, which is expected.
+
+### The Drive Taint Issue (LG BU40N)
+
+Some drives, notably the LG BU40N, exhibit a "taint" behavior after encountering MEDIUM ERRORs:
+
+1. The drive hits a damaged sector and returns a MEDIUM ERROR.
+2. From that point forward, **all subsequent reads fail** -- even reads to sectors that were previously successful.
+3. The only recovery is to physically unplug and reconnect the drive (or power-cycle it).
+
+This is not a freemkv bug. It is a drive firmware behavior triggered by the interaction between the drive's internal error recovery and the USB-SATA bridge's handling of the error response. The drive firmware enters a degraded state that it does not recover from without a power cycle.
+
+Workarounds:
+
+- **Use a direct SATA connection.** This eliminates the bridge interaction that triggers the taint.
+- **Use a different bridge.** The ASM1153 and JMS578 are less likely to trigger this behavior.
+- **Accept the partial ISO.** freemkv's skip-forward recovery will zero-fill the unreadable blocks and continue. The resulting ISO may be playable with minor glitches in the affected areas.
+- **Physical replug between retry passes.** If running multi-pass patch, replug the drive between passes to clear the taint state.
+
+freemkv deliberately does not attempt inline SCSI resets or eject cycles to recover from this state, because those operations were found to make the problem worse on affected hardware (see the design rationale in [`docs/rip-recovery.md`](docs/rip-recovery.md)).
+
+---
+
+## 3. Drive Not Detected
+
+### Check Hardware Visibility
+
+```bash
+lsusb
+```
+
+Verify the drive appears in the USB device list. If it does not show up, the drive is not visible to the host at all -- check cables, power, and USB port.
+
+```bash
+ls /dev/sg*
+```
+
+On Linux, optical drives appear as `/dev/sg*` devices (the SCSI Generic interface). freemkv uses `/dev/sg*`, not `/dev/sr*`. If `lsusb` shows the device but no `/dev/sg*` entry exists, the `sg` kernel module may not be loaded:
+
+```bash
+sudo modprobe sg
+```
+
+### Check Kernel Messages
+
+```bash
+dmesg | grep -i usb | tail -30
+dmesg | grep -i sg | tail -10
+```
+
+Look for:
+- USB enumeration errors or failed port resets.
+- `sg_add` messages confirming the sg device was registered.
+- Permission denied or access errors.
+
+### Permission Issues
+
+On most Linux distributions, `/dev/sg*` devices are owned by `root:disk` or `root:cdrom` with restricted permissions. Running freemkv as an unprivileged user will fail with permission errors.
+
+Options:
+
+- Add your user to the appropriate group:
+
+  ```bash
+  sudo usermod -aG disk $USER
+  ```
+
+  Then log out and back in for the change to take effect. On some distributions the group is `cdrom` or `optical` instead of `disk`.
+
+- Run with elevated privileges:
+
+  ```bash
+  sudo freemkv ...
+  ```
+
+- Install a udev rule for persistent per-device permissions. Create `/etc/udev/rules.d/99-sg-optical.rules`:
+
+  ```
+  SUBSYSTEM=="scsi_generic", ATTRS{type}=="5", MODE="0666"
+  ```
+
+  Then reload udev rules:
+
+  ```bash
+  sudo udevadm control --reload-rules && sudo udevadm trigger
+  ```
+
+### Spin-Up Delay
+
+Optical drives take 30-60 seconds to spin up and become ready after hot-plug or disc insertion. During this window, SCSI commands may return NOT READY or timeout.
+
+freemkv's `Drive::wait_ready()` handles this automatically by polling with TEST UNIT READY until the drive responds. If you are writing your own code using the library, always call `wait_ready()` before `init()`:
+
+```rust
+let mut drive = Drive::open(Path::new("/dev/sg4"))?;
+drive.wait_ready()?;  // blocks until disc is ready, up to 30s
+drive.init()?;
+```
+
+If the drive was just plugged in, wait a full minute before concluding it is not detected.
+
+---
+
+## 4. How to Identify Your USB-SATA Bridge
+
+If you are experiencing the issues described in section 1, you need to know which bridge chipset your adapter or enclosure uses.
+
+### Step 1: Find the Device
+
+```bash
+lsusb
+```
+
+Look for entries matching your drive or enclosure. Bridges may appear under their own manufacturer name or as a generic SATA device. Common examples:
+
+```
+Bus 002 Device 005: ID 13fd:0840 Initio Corporation
+Bus 002 Device 006: ID 174c:1153 ASMedia Technology Inc. ASM1153
+Bus 002 Device 007: ID 152d:0578 JMicron Technology Corp. JMS578
+```
+
+### Step 2: Match the IDs
+
+| Vendor | Product ID | Chipset | Status |
+|--------|-----------|---------|--------|
+| `13fd` | `3609` | Initio INIC-3609 | Affected. Apply quirk. |
+| `13fd` | `3940` | Initio INIC-3619 | Affected. Apply quirk. |
+| `13fd` | `0840` | Initio INIC-3069 | Affected. Apply quirk. |
+| `174c` | `5106` | ASMedia ASM1051 | Affected (early firmware). Apply quirk. |
+| `174c` | `1153` | ASMedia ASM1153 | Good. No quirk needed. |
+| `152d` | `0561` | JMicron JMB36x | Affected (some firmware). Apply quirk if issues occur. |
+| `152d` | `0578` | JMicron JMS578 | Good. No quirk needed. |
+
+### Step 3: Check dmesg for the Bridge Name
+
+```bash
+dmesg | grep -i "usb-storage\|uas\|initio\|asmedia\|jmicron"
+```
+
+This often reveals the bridge chipset even when `lsusb` shows a generic name.
+
+### Step 4: If the Enclosure Is Sealed
+
+Many external drive enclosures (Vantec NexStar, Sabrent, OWC, etc.) do not advertise the bridge chipset on the packaging. In this case:
+
+1. Check `lsusb` while the enclosure is connected.
+2. Search the vendor:product ID online -- there are community-maintained lists of which chipsets popular enclosures use.
+3. If you cannot determine the chipset and are experiencing bridge crashes, assume it is an Initio and apply the quirk with its IDs.
+4. The definitive test: connect the bare drive to a motherboard SATA port. If the problems disappear, the bridge was the cause.
+
+---
+
+## 5. General Debugging Checklist
+
+When something goes wrong during a rip, gather this information before filing an issue:
+
+1. **freemkv version:** `freemkv --version` or the crate version in `Cargo.toml`.
+2. **Drive model:** from the drive label, or from `freemkv info`.
+3. **Connection type:** USB (with bridge chipset if known) or direct SATA.
+4. **Operating system and kernel:** `uname -a`.
+5. **Kernel messages during the failure:** `dmesg | tail -50` immediately after the crash.
+6. **SCSI device:** which `/dev/sg*` the drive was on, and whether it changed after the failure.
+7. **The disc:** title, format (BD/DVD/UHD), condition.
+
+Include all of the above in bug reports. SCSI transport errors that resolve with the `US_FL_IGNORE_RESIDUE` quirk or by switching to direct SATA are bridge firmware bugs, not freemkv bugs.

+# libfreemkv API Design
+
+## Principles
+
+1. Lib provides building blocks. App composes them.
+2. No English text in lib. Error codes only. App handles i18n.
+3. No display logic in lib. App decides what to show.
+4. Streams are the pipeline. Each stage wraps the next.
+5. Lib fires events. App listens.
+
+## Core API
+
+```rust
+// Open drive — explicit steps, app prints between them
+let mut drive = Drive::open(path)?;
+drive.wait_ready()?;
+drive.init()?;
+drive.probe_disc()?;
+
+// Scan disc
+let disc = Disc::scan(&mut drive, &ScanOptions::default())?;
+
+// Browse
+disc.titles      // Vec<DiscTitle>
+disc.format      // BD / UHD / DVD
+disc.capacity_gb()
+```
+
+## PES Pipeline (primary API)
+
+The PES pipeline is the main way to move content. All streams produce/consume
+PES frames. The pipeline just reads frames and writes frames.
+
+```rust
+// URL-based — any source to any destination
+let opts = InputOptions::default();
+let mut input = libfreemkv::input("disc:///dev/sg4", &opts)?;
+let title = input.info().clone();
+let mut output = libfreemkv::output("mkv://Movie.mkv", &title)?;
+
+while let Ok(Some(frame)) = input.read() {
+    output.write(&frame)?;
+}
+output.finish()?;
+```
+
+The `FrameSource` and `FrameSink` traits — direction is type-checked, so
+calling `read()` on a write-only sink (or `write()` on a read-only source)
+is a compile error rather than a runtime fault:
+
+```rust
+pub trait FrameSource: Send {
+    fn read(&mut self) -> Result<Option<PesFrame>, Error>;
+    fn info(&self) -> &DiscTitle;
+    fn codec_private(&self, track: usize) -> Option<Vec<u8>> { None }
+    fn headers_ready(&self) -> bool { true }
+}
+
+pub trait FrameSink: Send {
+    fn write(&mut self, frame: &PesFrame) -> Result<(), Error>;
+    fn finish(self: Box<Self>) -> Result<(), Error>;
+    fn info(&self) -> &DiscTitle;
+}
+```
+
+## Streams
+
+All streams implement `FrameSource` (read) and/or `FrameSink` (write); the
+directional split prevents runtime "wrong-direction" errors. URL-based
+resolvers open any stream by string.
+
+| Stream | Input | Output | URL | Transport |
+|--------|-------|--------|-----|-----------|
+| DiscStream | Yes | -- | `disc://` `disc:///dev/sg4` | Optical drive via SCSI |
+| IsoStream | Yes | Yes | `iso://path.iso` | Blu-ray ISO image |
+| MkvStream | Yes | Yes | `mkv://path` | Matroska container |
+| M2tsStream | Yes | Yes | `m2ts://path` | BD-TS with FMKV metadata header |
+| NetworkStream | Yes (listen) | Yes (connect) | `network://host:port` | TCP with FMKV metadata header |
+| StdioStream | Yes (stdin) | Yes (stdout) | `stdio://` | Raw byte pipe |
+| NullStream | -- | Yes | `null://` | Discard sink (byte counter) |
+
+All URLs require a `scheme://path` format. Bare paths are rejected.
+
+```rust
+// PES pipeline (frame-level) — input() returns Box<dyn FrameSource>,
+// output() returns Box<dyn FrameSink>.
+let input = libfreemkv::input("disc:///dev/sg4", &opts)?;    // DiscStream
+let input = libfreemkv::input("iso://Dune.iso", &opts)?;     // IsoStream
+let output = libfreemkv::output("mkv://Dune.mkv", &title)?;  // MkvOutputStream
+let output = libfreemkv::output("m2ts://Dune.m2ts", &title)?; // M2tsOutputStream
+let output = libfreemkv::output("network://10.1.7.11:9000", &title)?; // NetworkOutputStream
+let output = libfreemkv::output("null://", &title)?;          // NullOutputStream
+```
+
+### FMKV Metadata Header
+
+M2tsStream and NetworkStream embed a JSON metadata header before the BD-TS data:
+
+```
+[8B magic "FMKV\0\0\0\0"][4B JSON length][JSON metadata][padding to 192B boundary][BD-TS data...]
+```
+
+The header carries title name, duration, codec_privates, and full stream layout
+(PIDs, codecs, languages, labels). This allows the receiving end to set up
+demuxing and track metadata without scanning the TS.
+
+## Events
+
+Lib fires events during operations. App provides a callback. No display, no text.
+
+```rust
+pub struct Event {
+    pub kind: EventKind,
+}
+
+pub enum EventKind {
+    // Init / scan
+    DriveOpened { device: String },
+    DriveReady,
+    InitComplete { success: bool },
+    ProbeComplete { success: bool },
+    ScanComplete { titles: usize },
+
+    // Read pipeline
+    BytesRead { bytes: u64, total: u64 },
+    ReadError { sector: u64, error: Error },
+    SpeedChange { speed_kbs: u16 },
+    ExtentStart { index: usize, start_sector: u64, sector_count: u64 },
+    SectorSkipped { sector: u64 },
+    BatchSizeChanged { new_size: u16, reason: BatchSizeReason },
+    Complete { bytes: u64, errors: u32 },
+
+    // Kept for forward-compat; not emitted in 0.13.6+
+    Retry { attempt: u32 },
+    SectorRecovered { sector: u64 },
+}
+```
+
+Emission notes:
+
+- `BytesRead { bytes, total }` is emitted from `DiscStream::fill_extents`
+  after each successful sector read. `bytes` is the cumulative running
+  total; `total` is the precomputed extent sum (0 if unknown).
+- `SpeedChange` is emitted from the public `Drive::set_speed` API path.
+  It is no longer emitted from a recovery hot loop (recovery loop removed
+  in 0.13.6).
+- `BatchSizeChanged` fires from the `DiscStream` adaptive sizer on shrink
+  (read failed at a larger size) and on probe-up (clean-read streak hit
+  the threshold). Consumers use it to display a "recovering" state
+  distinct from "ripping normally".
+- `Retry` and `SectorRecovered` are NOT emitted in 0.13.6+. They were
+  tied to the inline `Drive::read` recovery phases that were removed; the
+  variants are kept for forward compatibility so consumers' match arms
+  don't need conditional compilation.
+
+Events report what happened. App decides what to do. GUI shows a dialog. CLI
+prints a line. Server logs to file.

 ### Opening a Drive

-// Full open: identify → match profile → unlock
-let mut session = DriveSession::open(Path::new("/dev/sr0"))?;
-
-// No-unlock open: identify → match profile only
-let mut session = DriveSession::open_no_unlock(Path::new("/dev/sr0"))?;

+platform driver. The drive is ready for `wait_ready()` and `init()`.
 
-**`open_no_unlock()`** skips the unlock step. This is required when AACS bus
-authentication must happen before unlock. The handshake uses standard SCSI
-commands that work without raw mode. After authentication completes, the caller

+### Drive Operations
 
 | Method | Description |
 |--------|-------------|
-| `unlock()` | Activate raw disc access mode via platform driver |
-| `is_unlocked()` | Check if raw mode is active |
-| `calibrate()` | Build speed lookup table for the current disc |
-| `read_sectors(lba, count, buf)` | Raw sector read (requires unlock + calibrate) |
-| `read_disc(lba, count, buf)` | Standard READ(10) with 5s timeout |
-| `status()` | Query drive status and feature flags |
-| `read_config()` | Read drive configuration block (1888 bytes) |
-| `read_register(index)` | Read 16-byte hardware register |
-| `probe(sub_cmd, addr, len)` | Generic READ BUFFER with caller parameters |
-| `scsi_execute(cdb, dir, buf, timeout)` | Send an arbitrary SCSI CDB |
+| `wait_ready()` | Wait for disc insertion (30s timeout, TUR polling) |
+| `init()` | Firmware upload + unlock + speed calibration |
+| `probe_disc()` | Probe disc surface for optimal speeds |
+| `read(lba, count, buf, recovery)` | Read sectors. Single-shot — no inline retries or reset. |
+| `reset()` | Eject-cycle escape hatch. Caller-invoked only; not on the read path. |
+| `lock_tray()` | Prevent tray ejection during rip |
+| `unlock_tray()` | Allow tray ejection (also runs on Drop) |
+| `eject()` | Eject disc tray |
+| `drive_status()` | Query physical state (disc present, tray open, etc.) |
+| `has_profile()` | Whether a bundled profile matched |
+| `close()` | Consume Drive, cleanup (also runs via Drop) |
+
+### init() Sequence
+
+`init()` orchestrates the full drive unlock:
+
+1. Platform driver `run_init()` — sends vendor-specific SCSI commands
+2. If firmware upload needed: upload, wait 10s for drive reset, retry
+3. Speed calibration after unlock
+4. Max 3 attempts before giving up
+
+### read() — single-shot
+
+`Drive::read(lba, count, buf, recovery)` is the single read method. It issues
+exactly one READ(10) CDB and returns the result. The `recovery` parameter only
+selects the per-CDB timeout:
+
+| `recovery` | Timeout  | Used by                                  |
+|------------|----------|------------------------------------------|
+| `false`    | 1.5 s    | `Disc::sweep` fast skip-forward pass, `DiscStream::fill_extents` |
+| `true`     | 30 s     | `Disc::patch` retry pass over the mapfile |
+
+On any SCSI failure or timeout, `read` returns `Err(DiscRead)` immediately.
+There are no inline retries, no SCSI reset, no Phase 1/2/3 escalation.
+
+Recovery is layered above `Drive::read`:
+
+- **Layer 1 — `Disc::patch`** loops over the ddrescue mapfile and re-issues
+  `read(.., recovery=true)` against each non-`+` range.
+- **Layer 3 — `DiscStream::fill_extents`** halves the request size on
+  failure, retries at the same LBA, and probes back up on a clean-read
+  streak.
+
+Inline recovery (5× gentle retry → close + reset + reopen → 5× more) was
+removed in 0.13.6. See the stop-wedge postmortem (2026-04-25)
+for rationale: the inline reset wedged drive firmware on the LG BU40N (Initio
+USB-SATA bridge) without ever recovering a sector. See
+[`rip-recovery.md`](rip-recovery.md) for the full three-layer model.

+The Linux backend uses the sg driver's asynchronous interface: `write()` submits

-On non-zero SCSI status, the transport parses sense key, ASC, and ASCQ from the

+The macOS backend uses a C shim (`macos_shim.c`) for IOKit exclusive access.

+   requested BSD name (IOBDServices → IOBDBlockStorageDriver → IOMedia → "BSD Name"),
+   then creates MMCDeviceInterface → SCSITaskDeviceInterface → ObtainExclusiveAccess.
+2. `shim_list_drives()` — registry-based enumeration with zero SCSI, zero exclusive
+   access, zero unmounts. Reads IOBDServices "Device Characteristics" for

+On non-zero SCSI status, the transport parses sense key from the sense buffer

+# Rip recovery — three-layer architecture
+
+`libfreemkv` supports a multi-stage rip model for damaged or protection-bearing
+discs: a fast forward sweep that tolerates read failures, in-loop request-size
+adaptation that survives transient drive trouble without bailing, and targeted
+retry passes against a persistent bad-range map. The stream pipeline
+(`DiscStream` + `input`/`output`) operates against the resulting ISO image, so
+the mux stage never touches the drive.
+
+Recovery is layered cleanly. Each layer has one responsibility and does not
+reach into the others.
+
+| Layer | Where it lives | What it does |
+|-------|---------------|--------------|
+| 1 — Bad-range retry | `Disc::patch` (one pass over the mapfile per call) | Re-reads non-`+` ranges with the long timeout. Idempotent; caller invokes N times. |
+| 2 — Single-shot primitive | `Drive::read` in `src/drive/mod.rs` | One CDB, one timeout, one result. No inline retries, no SCSI reset. |
+| 3 — In-loop request adaptation | `DiscStream::fill_extents` adaptive batch sizer | Halves the batch on failure, retries at the same LBA, walks back up on a clean-read streak. |
+
+The library exposes flat verbs; the caller drives the multipass loop. Autorip
+runs `Disc::sweep` once, then loops `Disc::patch` until either the mapfile is
+clean or the configured retry budget is exhausted, then hands the ISO off to
+the mux pipeline. The `freemkv` CLI does the same shape with a
+terminal-output progress sink. Layer 3 runs inside any consumer of
+`DiscStream` (direct PES pipeline, ISO playback, etc.) without caller
+involvement.
+
+Three primitives compose the disc-side flow:
+
+| Primitive                 | What it does                                                          |
+|---------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
+| `Disc::sweep`             | disc → ISO, one forward pass. Writes a sidecar `.mapfile`. Opt-in skip-on-error. |
+| `Disc::patch`             | Re-reads bad ranges from the drive. One pass per call; caller invokes N times. |
+| `DiscStream` (ISO source) | Reads sectors from the ISO, feeds decrypt → demux → codec → mux.      |
+
+## Data model
+
+### Mapfile
+
+Format: [ddrescue](https://www.gnu.org/software/ddrescue/manual/ddrescue_manual.html)-compatible
+plain text, greppable, tool-interoperable. Flushed to disk on every `record()`
+so a crashed rip loses at most one block.
+
+```
+# Rescue Logfile. Created by libfreemkv v0.13.6
+# Current pos / status / pass / pass_time
+0x000000000  ?  1  0

+0x12d00a000  0x000064000    *
+```
+
+Status characters match ddrescue:
+
+| Char | Meaning                                            |
+|------|----------------------------------------------------|
+| `?`  | Not yet attempted                                  |
+| `*`  | Fast-pass failed; needs edge-trim                  |
+| `/`  | Trimmed; interior needs sector scrape              |
+| `-`  | Unreadable this session                            |
+| `+`  | Finished (good)                                    |
+
+Position and size are hex byte offsets into the ISO.
+
+### `SweepOptions` and `PatchOptions`
+
+The library no longer dispatches between sweep and patch internally — the
+caller picks the verb explicitly per pass. The two option structs are flat
+and have no overlap:
+
+```rust
+SweepOptions {
+    decrypt: true,
+    resume: false,
+    batch_sectors: None,
+    skip_on_error: true,           // damage-jump + zero-fill on read failure
+    progress: Some(&reporter),
+    halt: Some(flag),
+}
+
+PatchOptions {
+    decrypt: true,
+    block_sectors: None,
+    full_recovery: true,
+    reverse: true,                 // walk bad ranges high → low LBA
+    wedged_threshold: 50,
+    progress: Some(&reporter),
+    halt: Some(flag),
+}
+```
+
+Caller-orchestrated dispatch (the policy `Disc::copy` used to embed):
+
+- No mapfile → `sweep` (fresh Pass 1).
+- Mapfile with `?` ranges → `sweep` with `resume: true`.
+- Mapfile covers full disc, only `*` / `/` / `-` ranges → `patch`.
+- Mapfile clean → done; no further pass needed.
+
+Each consumer (autorip, `freemkv` CLI) implements the loop in roughly five
+lines of `Mapfile::stats()` checks.
+
+## Algorithm
+
+### Pass 1 — fast sweep (`Disc::sweep`)
+
+1. Read one ECC block (32 sectors for UHD, 16 for BD/DVD) at the current LBA.
+2. On success: write data to ISO, mark `+`, advance.
+3. On failure (with `multipass`): zero-fill, mark `*`, advance.
+4. Track a sliding window of the last 16 ECC block results. When ≥12% are failures
+   → **damage-jump**: skip ahead by `256×batch×multiplier` sectors (8 MB base for
+   UHD). Double the multiplier on each jump (8→16→32→64 MB...). Zero-fill the gap as `*`.
+5. On 16 consecutive good reads: reset jump multiplier to 1, restore max read speed.
+6. Speed control: damage zone entry → minimum speed, exit → maximum speed.
+7. Only transport failures (USB bridge crash) abort the pass.
+
+Pass 1 completes when every byte has been visited (either `+` or `*`).
+
+### Pass 2+ — patch (`Disc::patch`)
+
+`Disc::patch` reads the mapfile and iterates every non-`+` range. Default: **reverse** mode
+(walks ranges from highest LBA to lowest, within each range from end to start).
+
+1. Issue a single-sector read with 60 s timeout (`recovery=true`). Drive firmware
+   does its own ECC recovery inside that window.
+2. On success: write the good bytes into the ISO, mark `+`.
+3. On failure with non-marginal SCSI sense: bail immediately (drive won't produce data).
+4. On failure with marginal sense: mark `-`, continue.
+5. Update the mapfile after every block — crash-safe resume.
+6. Wedged-drive exit: 50 consecutive failures with zero recovery → bail this pass.
+
+### In-stream — adaptive batch halving (`DiscStream::fill_extents`)
+
+When a consumer reads a `DiscStream` directly (no ISO intermediate),
+`fill_extents` runs an adaptive sizer in front of `Drive::read`:
+
+1. Try the current preferred batch size (e.g. 32 sectors, one BD ECC block).
+2. On failure: halve the batch and retry at the same LBA. Emit
+   `EventKind::BatchSizeChanged { reason: Shrunk }`.
+3. On a clean-read streak: probe back up toward the preferred size. Emit
+   `EventKind::BatchSizeChanged { reason: Probed }`.
+4. If a single-sector read fails: skip (zero-fill, emit
+   `EventKind::SectorSkipped`) when `skip_errors` is set, otherwise return
+   `Err(DiscRead)`.
+
+This is layer 3. It exists so a transient single-sector glitch in a 32-sector
+batch can be isolated and read individually without the caller needing to
+implement retry logic.
+
+## Design choices
+
+**`Drive::read` is single-shot.** No inline retry phases, no SCSI reset,
+no eject cycle. The `recovery` flag controls only the per-CDB timeout
+(1.5 s vs. 30 s); on any failure it returns `Err(DiscRead)` immediately.
+Inline recovery (5× gentle retry → close + SCSI reset + reopen → 5× more)
+was removed in 0.13.6. See the stop-wedge postmortem (2026-04-25) for rationale:
+the inline reset on the LG BU40N (Initio USB-SATA bridge)
+wedged drive firmware below the bridge without ever recovering a sector,
+and the gentle-retry phase produced long stretches of 0 KB/s with no
+recoveries to show for it. Recovery responsibility is now layered: layer 1
+handles ranges, layer 3 handles request size, neither touches the
+wedge-prone reset path.
+
+**No `MODE SELECT` to disable drive retries.** Research showed neither ddrescue
+nor MakeMKV does this. Drive firmware has access to raw analog signal, laser
+power control, and drive-specific ECC tuning that userspace can't replicate —
+disabling it throws away recovery headroom on marginal sectors. We fail fast
+via short SG_IO timeouts in pass 1 and let the firmware work the long timeout
+in pass 2 / patch.
+
+**No SCSI reset from any retry path.** `SgIoTransport::reset` (Linux) is
+trimmed to a kernel SG_IO state flush plus ALLOW MEDIUM REMOVAL — the
+`SG_SCSI_RESET` ioctl and STOP/START UNIT escalation were removed in 0.13.6.
+The macOS reset (which had been a no-op) was removed entirely. The top-level
+`scsi::reset()` / `reset_with_timeout()` / `reset_blocking()` wrappers were
+also removed (no callers). The remaining `Drive::reset()` is only invoked
+explicitly by callers that need an eject-cycle escape hatch — it is never
+reached from a read path.
+
+**ISO intermediate, even for single-pass.** Pass 1 always writes an ISO. The
+mux stage reads the ISO via `IsoSectorReader`. For single-pass (no retries),
+this adds ~2-3 min (local disk mux) but gains resumability across crashes,
+re-muxability without re-ripping, and a persistent forensic artifact. Callers
+who need pure speed can bypass and use `DiscStream::new(Box::new(drive), …)`
+directly — the lib doesn't forbid it, and layer 3 (adaptive batch halving)
+still applies there.
+
+**Mapfile in ddrescue format.** Plain text so users can `less` it, `diff` it,
+or feed it to ddrescue's own tooling. Crash-safe (flush-per-record). Entries
+coalesce on adjacent same-status ranges so files stay small.
+
+**Patches target `-`, `*`, `/`, and `?` alike.** The status state machine is
+ddrescue's but `patch` collapses the distinction — it just tries every
+non-finished range with the long timeout. Future work can specialize (trim vs.
+scrape vs. retry with direction reversal) if there's measured benefit.

@@ -120,6 +120,14 @@ Each directory read involves two sector reads: one for the ICB, then one or more
 
 `read_file()` reads a file by navigating the directory tree, reading the file's ICB to get its data extent, then reading the data sector by sector from the **physical partition** (partition_start + LBA, not metadata_start).
 
+## Buffered Sector Reads
+
+USB optical drives have ~500ms round-trip latency per SCSI command. Since `read_filesystem()` and `read_file()` issue one SCSI READ per sector, a full disc scan can require hundreds of commands -- taking 10+ minutes on USB.
+
+`Disc::scan()` wraps the drive in a `BufferedSectorReader` before reading. On a single-sector read, the buffer prefetches a batch of sectors (sized from the kernel's `max_hw_sectors_kb` for the device) and caches them. Subsequent reads to nearby LBAs return from cache with zero SCSI overhead. After parsing the UDF directory structure, the entire metadata partition is pre-read into the cache, so all ICB lookups during title scanning and encryption resolution are instant.
+
+The buffer is transparent -- `read_filesystem()`, `read_file()`, and all downstream code still call `read_sectors(lba, 1, buf)` as before. The batching happens inside the `SectorSource` implementation.

+//! AACS Media Key Variant chain.
+//!
+//! On AACS 2.1 the Media Key derivation gains a second stage on top of
+//! the classical subset-difference walk. The classical walk yields a
+//! Media Key Precursor (Kmp) rather than the final Media Key; the
+//! Precursor combines with disc-supplied Variant Key Data (VKD) and an
+//! integrator-supplied Key Correction Data (KCD) constant to produce
+//! the Media Key.
+//!
+//! This module is wiring only — `resolve_keys` is not aware of it. The
+//! entry point is [`derive_media_key_variant`]. The Variant scheme is
+//! detected via the new MKB record types `0x82` (Encrypted Media Key
+//! Variant Data + Variant Key Data) and `0x83` (Variant Number). When
+//! a disc carries neither, callers should fall back to the classical
+//! single-stage derivation in [`super::keys`].
+//!
+//! The chain follows the published spec:
+//!
+//! ```text
+//! Kmp     = AES-128D(Kp, C) XOR uv
+//! Kpnew   = Kmp XOR KCD
+//! Kvn     = AES-G(Kp, Nonce) & 0xFFFF   (low 16 bits, BE)
+//! VKD_idx = Kvn XOR VARIANTS[uv]
+//! VKD     = vkd_table[VKD_idx * 16 .. +16]
+//! Km      = AES-128D(Kpnew, VKD) XOR uv
+//! ```
+//!
+//! Two condition bits on `Kmp[15]` route off the hardcoded-KCD path
+//! (Soft Correction and Online Challenge). The chain refuses to run in
+//! either case — callers must handle those modes out of band.

+//! AACS Verify-Media-Key magic constants used to confirm Media Key
+//! candidates produced during MKB walking.
+//!
+//! AACS MKBs contain "Verify Media Key Records" whose decrypted output
+//! is a known-plaintext constant. Walking code decrypts the verify
+//! record with each MK candidate and compares the result against the
+//! magic; on match, the MK is correct.
+//!
+//! Five distinct magics are observed in the canonical reference AACS
+//! engine (MakeMKV v1.18.3, file offsets in parens):
+//!
+//! 1. **MK\_V10** at `.rodata:0x2909c0`. The original AACS-1.0 spec
+//!    constant. Single 16-byte AES-128-ECB compare. Used at 3 sites in
+//!    that engine. We already use it in `keys.rs::validate_media_key_against_mkb`.
+//!
+//! 2. **MK\_AUX\_16** at `.rodata:0x290890`. A second single-block
+//!    16-byte verification magic. Reverse-engineering of the call site
+//!    at `0x580f73` shows it after a call to the single-block AES-ECB
+//!    helper. Likely a per-vendor or per-record-type extended verify.
+//!    Use it when an MKB carries an extended verify record alongside
+//!    the standard one.
+//!
+//! 3. **MK\_SK\_32a** = `MK_SK32A_BLK0` || `MK_SK32A_BLK1`. A 32-byte
+//!    (2-block) verify magic at `.rodata:0x290910 / 0x290620`. Used at
+//!    `0x580ff0`: both blocks must match after AES-128 decrypt of a
+//!    32-byte verify record. Almost certainly the AACS-2 / Sequence
+//!    Key Block "Verify Media Key Record for Sequence Keys" expanded
+//!    form — i.e. AACS-2 SKB verification.
+//!
+//! 4. **MK\_SK\_32b** = `MK_SK32B_BLK0` || `MK_SK32B_BLK1`. A second
+//!    32-byte verify magic at `.rodata:0x290980 / 0x290a60`. Used at
+//!    `0x581063`. Different record type within the SKB family — likely
+//!    the AACS-2 SD-tree variant verification.
+//!
+//! All five are KNOWN PLAINTEXT compared bit-for-bit against the
+//! AES-128 decrypt output. They are NOT keys. They are oracle values
+//! that say "yes, the MK candidate you tried is the right one."
+//!
+//! Provenance: identified via static RE of MakeMKV v1.18.3 amd64
+//! (binary sha256 `9970a50a97231b2d09d73f521ff1daf0609ea201040a68ecaa9f31af957d6401`)
+//! on 2026-05-22 via objdump of the `pcmpeqb` callsite cluster around
+//! file offset `0x580f70..0x581080`.

+//! CSS title key recovery — Stevenson's divide-and-conquer attack (1999).
+//!
+//! Given a scrambled DVD sector with known plaintext (MPEG-2 PES headers),
+//! recovers the 5-byte title key by:
+//!
+//! 1. XORing ciphertext with TAB1[ciphertext] to cancel the mangling
+//! 2. Iterating all 2^16 LFSR1 states
+//! 3. For each: deducing what LFSR0 must produce, then verifying
+//!
+//! Total work: ~65536 iterations with 10-byte validation = instant.
+//!
+//! Algorithm: Frank A. Stevenson, "Divide and conquer attack" (1999).

+//! The keystream is the bytewise sum (with carry) of both LFSR outputs.

+//! Decrypt-on-read layer.
+//!
+//! Decrypts sectors in-place using resolved keys from disc scanning.
+//! Handles AACS 1.0, AACS 2.0, and CSS transparently.
+//! The caller never sees encrypted data unless explicitly bypassed.
+//!
+//! ## Parallel AACS decrypt
+//!
+//! Each AACS aligned unit (6144 bytes) is decrypted INDEPENDENTLY of
+//! every other unit — per-unit key derivation from the unit_key plus
+//! the unit's own first-16-byte header. There is no cross-unit
+//! dependency, so a buffer of N units can be decrypted on N threads
+//! in parallel via a persistent rayon thread pool.
+//!
+//! Small buffers (< [`PARALLEL_MIN_UNITS`] units) fall through to the
+//! serial path to avoid pool dispatch overhead beating the per-unit
+//! AES work.
+//!
+//! ## Thread-count configuration — three layers
+//!
+//! Resolution order (highest wins):
+//! 1. The most recent [`set_decrypt_threads`] call with `n > 0`.
+//!    Calling this *replaces* the live thread pool — useful for a
+//!    settings-page slider in a long-running daemon.
+//! 2. `FREEMKV_THREADS` env var, if set and `> 0`. Single knob
+//!    covering decrypt today, intended to also drive any future
+//!    input-side / output-side worker pools.
+//! 3. Default: all available cores. Algorithm optimisation comes
+//!    first — we measure single-thread performance to find serial
+//!    bottlenecks before throwing parallelism at it — but once a
+//!    pool is engaged we use the whole box. Hard cap at
+//!    [`MAX_THREADS`] (rayon stack memory).

+//! `Disc::sweep`'s consumer-side `Sink<WorkItem>`.
+//!
+//! Background: the original sweep loop runs strictly serialised —
+//! SCSI read → decrypt → seek + write → mapfile.record → next iter.
+//! On a healthy disc the SCSI read costs ~5-12 ms per 64 KB batch and
+//! the post-read work (decrypt 1-3 ms + file write + mapfile fsync
+//! 5-15 ms) adds another batch's worth of latency. The drive idles
+//! during the post-read work; throughput tops out at the *sum* of
+//! both costs.
+//!
+//! 0.17.11 introduced a bespoke producer/consumer split (the now-
+//! removed `disc/sweep_pipeline.rs`) to overlap the two stages. 0.18
+//! collapses that split — together with the analogous splits patch
+//! and mux need — onto the generic [`crate::io::Pipeline`] +
+//! [`crate::io::Sink`] primitive. This module is the sweep-specific
+//! `Sink` impl; the producer-side state machine (read_error context,
+//! decrypt, set_speed, halt) stays in `Disc::sweep` in `disc/mod.rs`.
+//!
+//! Correctness invariants preserved (same as 0.17.11):
+//! - Mapfile is single-writer (consumer-only). No locking.
+//! - All `read_error::ReadCtx` state stays on the producer thread.
+//! - `set_speed` calls happen on the producer thread (same thread that
+//!   owns the `SectorSource`). No new SCSI concurrency.
+//! - Per-iteration ordering of file-write → mapfile-record is kept
+//!   intact in the consumer (write before record), so the on-disk
+//!   invariant "mapfile only marks Finished what the file has
+//!   received" survives a crash mid-pass.
+//! - The BU40N+Initio bridge wedge concern is unchanged: only one
+//!   SCSI command in flight at a time, error-path timing identical,
+//!   no new retry logic.

+//! Bounded-syscall primitive: run a (potentially-blocking) operation
+//! on a worker thread, with a hard wall-clock deadline and an optional
+//! cooperative [`Halt`] poll. The calling thread is never trapped
+//! inside a kernel call.
+//!
+//! ## Why this exists
+//!
+//! [`crate::halt::Halt`] is cooperative: callers poll
+//! `is_cancelled()`. It cannot reach inside a syscall the kernel
+//! currently owns the thread for — `libc::sync_file_range`,
+//! `libc::fsync`, `File::write` on NFS, and so on. `/api/stop` from
+//! autorip therefore can't unstick a thread sitting in such a syscall.
+//!
+//! [`bounded_syscall`] is the escape hatch: it runs `op` on a fresh
+//! worker thread, then `recv_timeout`s on a rendezvous channel for the
+//! result. The wait is broken into ~250 ms slices so the calling
+//! thread can poll the supplied [`Halt`] in between. If the deadline
+//! elapses or the halt fires, the worker is intentionally leaked — the
+//! syscall will unwind whenever the kernel decides, or at process
+//! exit, but the caller is free to fall back to a degraded code path
+//! (skip the sync, log loudly, etc.).
+//!
+//! ## Trade-offs
+//!
+//! - **Thread per call.** Cheap (`std::thread::spawn` is < 100 µs on
+//!   Linux/macOS), but not free. Use on coarse-grained finalisation
+//!   syscalls (`sync_all`, `sync_file_range(WAIT_AFTER)`), not on hot
+//!   inner-loop writes.
+//! - **Leak on timeout.** A wedged syscall keeps a kernel slot and a
+//!   user-space thread around for the rest of the process's life.
+//!   Bounded by the number of independent rip/mux sessions, which is
+//!   one per disc. The alternative — trapping the caller forever —
+//!   defeats the entire purpose of `/api/stop`.
+//! - **Halt granularity ~250 ms.** Halt observation is not instant;
+//!   it's the worst-case latency of the `recv_timeout` slice. Good
+//!   enough for human-driven stop requests; not suitable for hard
+//!   real-time deadlines.
+//!
+//! ## Single source of truth
+//!
+//! Do NOT inline this pattern. Every blocking-syscall wrapper in the
+//! rip + mux pipeline calls this helper, so changes (e.g. swapping the
+//! channel impl, adjusting the poll slice, adding metrics) land in one
+//! place.
+//!
+//! ## Platform
+//!
+//! Pure `std::thread` + `std::sync::mpsc`. No `cfg(target_os)` needed
+//! here — the helper itself is platform-agnostic. Callers that wrap
+//! Linux-only syscalls (`sync_file_range`) still need their own
+//! `#[cfg(target_os = "linux")]` gates; this helper does not.

+//! Byte-sized bounded producer/consumer channel.
+//!
+//! Wraps `std::sync::mpsc::sync_channel` with a byte-accounting
+//! `Mutex<usize> + Condvar` cap. Sender blocks (cooperatively) when
+//! `used_bytes + item.byte_size() > capacity_bytes`. Receiver
+//! decrements `used_bytes` when it takes the item.
+//!
+//! Why: the existing producer→consumer channel between `DiscStream`
+//! (PES producer) and `MuxSink` (PES consumer) is bounded by frame
+//! count. Frame sizes vary 100× between metadata and keyframes, so a
+//! count-based cap either starves on small frames or buffers far too
+//! much memory on big ones. Byte-sized accounting sizes the buffer for
+//! the worst-case input stall (NFS read p99 ≈ 1–2 s × ~15 MB/s peak
+//! compressed bitrate ≈ ~30 MB) directly.
+//!
+//! The underlying mpsc channel is created with a very large slot count
+//! so the byte cap (not the slot count) is the real backpressure. Slot
+//! count is only there to give the kernel a small chunk to wake on.
+//!
+//! See `freemkv-private/memory/project_buffering_architecture.md` §

+//! periodic page-cache eviction during streaming reads.
+//!
+//! ## Why both
+//!
+//! `POSIX_FADV_SEQUENTIAL` at open widens the kernel's readahead window
+//! so each pread aggregates into fewer NFS round-trips. `DONTNEED` on
+//! the consumed window (called periodically by the caller) drops the
+//! already-read pages from the page cache so an 85 GB streaming ISO
+//! read doesn't fill memory and starve concurrent writes (the MKV
+//! output during mux). Together they mirror the write-side
+//! WritebackPipeline's policy.
+//!
+//! ## History
+//!
+//! Pre-Phase-1 (0.20.7 baseline) had both. Phase 1's introduction of
+//! `FileSectorSource` silently dropped the read-side DONTNEED, and
+//! 0.21.2's revert of `SEQUENTIAL` (mistakenly attributing a regression
+//! to it) removed the hint. Net effect: 85 GB of ISO reads pinned in
+//! the page cache + no readahead widening → mux throughput collapse
+//! from 18 MB/s historical to 2.7-8 MB/s on 0.21.x. Restored in 0.21.6.

+//! [`FileSectorSource`] — read 2048-byte sectors from an ISO file on
+//! disk via direct `seek + read_exact` (`pread`-equivalent) calls,
+//! letting the kernel's own readahead policy manage prefetch.
+//!
+//! ## Why no app-level buffer
+//!
+//! Pre-0.21.3 this source held a 32 MiB (later 4 MiB) read-ahead
+//! buffer to amortise per-sector NFS round-trips. Empirically that
+//! buffer hurt: 32 MiB refills bursted the NFS TCP connection hard
+//! enough to starve the concurrent writer, and even a 4 MiB window
+//! gave the kernel less freedom to pipeline reads with writes. Direct
+//! pread per call lets Linux's readahead widen as it detects the
+//! sequential pattern, and naturally interleaves with writeback.
+//!
+//! ## DONTNEED on the consumed window
+//!
+//! Without page-cache eviction an 85 GB streaming ISO read pins the
+//! entire file in memory, starves the concurrent writer, and collapses
+//! mux throughput (observed: 2.7 MB/s mux on 0.21.5 vs. 70 MB/s
+//! isolated NFS reads). Every [`READ_DROP_CHUNK_BYTES`] of consumed
+//! bytes we call `posix_fadvise(DONTNEED)` over that window, mirroring
+//! the write-side [`crate::io::writeback::WritebackPipeline`] policy.
+//!
+//! ## Platform open hint
+//!
+//! On `open()` each platform issues its "sequential access expected"
+//! hint so OS-level readahead widens. The hint and the DONTNEED call
+//! live in per-OS sibling modules ([`linux::hint_sequential`] et al.)
+//! — no inline `#[cfg]` in this file.
+//!
+//! ## Read-ahead prefetch
+//!
+//! After every consumed read we issue an OS-level prefetch hint for
+//! the next equivalent-sized window (`platform::prefetch`). The
+//! kernel queues that I/O asynchronously and returns immediately, so
+//! the next batch's read overlaps with the caller's processing of
+//! the current batch (decrypt + demux + mux). Without this the disk
+//! sits idle ~70% of each iteration because kernel SEQUENTIAL
+//! readahead alone (capped at `read_ahead_kb`, default 128 KB) is
+//! far smaller than our 16 MiB app-level batch.

+//! Generic bounded producer/consumer pipeline.

+//! ## Cancellation and error semantics
+//!
+//! - Producer dropping the channel (via `Pipeline::finish` dropping
+//!   `tx`) signals end-of-stream; consumer flushes via `close()` and
+//!   returns its `Output`.
+//! - Consumer returning [`Flow::Stop`] also calls `close()` and
+//!   returns its `Output`. `send()` from the producer will then either
+//!   succeed (if the item already fit in the channel buffer) or fail
+//!   with `Err(item)` once the consumer has dropped its receiver.
+//! - Consumer returning `Err` from `apply` skips `close()` entirely;
+//!   the consumer keeps draining the channel so the producer never
+//!   blocks on a dead receiver, and the first error is propagated as
+//!   the `JoinHandle` result.
+//! - Consumer panic is converted into
+//!   `Error::IoError { source: io::Error::other(...) }`.
+//!
+//! ## Debug logging
+//!
+//! Set `FREEMKV_DEBUG=1` environment variable to enable verbose debug
+//! logging throughout the pipeline (channel sends/receives, backpressure,
+//! consumer lag detection). This is critical for diagnosing stalls.

+//! - [`SequentialSink`] — anything you can `Write` to in order. Sockets,
+//!   pipes, append-only stores, plain files. Containers that don't need
+//!   seek (M2TS, fMP4, HEVC elementary) target this.
+//! - [`RandomAccessSink`] — everything `SequentialSink` plus a working
+//!   `Seek`. Local files, NFS files, anything with random-write
+//!   semantics. Containers that need backpatch (MKV cluster sizes, Cues
+//!   index, MP4 moov-at-end) target this.
+//!
+//! `RandomAccessSink: SequentialSink` — every random-access sink is
+//! also a valid sequential sink. The muxer is generic over which it
+//! requires (`MkvMux<S: RandomAccessSink>`, `M2tsMux<S: SequentialSink>`)
+//! so an attempt to mux MKV to a network socket is a compile error.
+//!
+//! Buffering policy belongs to the concrete sink, not to a wrapper at
+//! the call site. `LocalFileSink` wraps a `BufWriter<File>` with a
+//! 4 MiB buffer for the common local-disk case; `WritebackFile`
+//! (separate module) wraps a `File` with the adaptive-chunk

+//! Linux writeback pipeline using `sync_file_range` + `posix_fadvise`.
+//!
+//! Pathology this fixes: the kernel's default `vm.dirty_ratio` (~20 %
+//! of RAM) lets dirty pages accumulate to hundreds of MB during a
+//! big sequential write, then bursts a flush at 99 % disk utilisation.
+//! While the burst runs, app writes block on the writeback queue —
+//! observed empirically as instantaneous speed dropping from ~15 MB/s
+//! to ~1 MB/s every ~30 s during a Pass 1 sweep.
+//!
+//! Strategy: every `chunk_bytes` of new sequential output, kick async
+//! writeback (`SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WRITE`) on the just-completed chunk and
+//! finalise the *previous* chunk via `WAIT_AFTER` + `posix_fadvise
+//! (DONTNEED)`. By the time we finalise, that previous chunk has had
+//! a full chunk's worth of work to flush — the wait is near-instant.
+//! Dirty cache stays bounded at ~2 × `chunk_bytes` and writes drain
+//! continuously instead of in bursts.
+//!
+//! The chunk size is adaptive: we measure the elapsed time of the
+//! `WAIT_AFTER` call over a rolling window of the last 16 chunks and
+//! resize the chunk based on the p95. Slow storage (NFS, network
+//! shares, HDD) sees larger chunks to amortise per-chunk overhead;
+//! fast storage (NVMe) sees smaller chunks to keep cache pressure
+//! tight. Bounds: [4 MiB, 256 MiB].
+//!
+//! ## NFS escape hatch
+//!
+//! `sync_file_range(WAIT_AFTER)` on an NFS-mounted file can block
+//! indefinitely waiting for the server's commit ack. If the server
+//! never acks (network partition, server-side hang, slow commit), the
+//! syscall never returns and the consumer thread is stuck inside the
+//! kernel — `/api/stop` can't reach it because halt is cooperative.
+//!
+//! When `fstatfs` reports the file lives on an NFS mount
+//! (`f_type == NFS_SUPER_MAGIC`), the pipeline skips the WAIT_AFTER +
+//! `posix_fadvise(DONTNEED)` dance entirely. NFS clients have their
+//! own buffering and commit semantics that handle dirty-page bounds
+//! without us forcing the issue. The async `SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WRITE`
+//! kickoff still runs (non-blocking by spec) so writeback still gets
+//! a nudge.
+//!
+//! ## Defence in depth: WAIT_AFTER timeout
+//!
+//! Even on local storage, a degraded disk or odd filesystem driver
+//! could in principle wedge inside WAIT_AFTER. Each WAIT_AFTER call
+//! runs on a worker thread with a 30s recv_timeout on its result
+//! channel. On timeout we log a loud error, set a `degraded` flag,
+//! and from then on skip WAIT_AFTER + DONTNEED for the rest of the
+//! pipeline's life (same shape as the NFS path). The worker thread
+//! is intentionally leaked — it unwinds whenever the syscall
+//! eventually returns or the process exits. The mux continues; the
+//! original dirty-burst pathology re-emerges but the rip can still
+//! finish instead of freezing.

+//! `WritebackFile` — a `File` wrapper whose reason for existing is the
+//! bounded-cache writeback pipeline.
+//!
+//! Why: large sequential writes (sweep, patch, mux on UHD-scale output)
+//! left to the kernel's default writeback policy accumulate hundreds of
+//! megabytes of dirty pages and then burst-flush, stalling subsequent
+//! writes for seconds at a time. `WritebackFile` drives a continuous
+//! [`super::writeback::WritebackPipeline`] that on Linux issues
+//! incremental `sync_file_range` + `posix_fadvise(DONTNEED)` calls at
+//! 32 MB granularity so dirty pages drain at the same rate they're
+//! produced. macOS and Windows fall through to a no-op pipeline — their
+//! default cache policies have not been shown to exhibit the same
+//! pathology for this access pattern.
+//!
+//! It implements `Write` and `Seek` so any call site that wrote to a
+//! plain `File` through those traits (sweep, patch, mux) can swap in
+//! `WritebackFile` without touching the body of the loop. The wrapper
+//! also tracks the current file position to feed the pipeline with
+//! progress + seek boundaries.
+//!
+//! See `super::writeback::linux` for the underlying pathology and the
+//! strategy.
+//!
+//! ## Platform split
+//!
+//! The platform-specific pieces of this wrapper — extent preallocation
+//! (Linux `fallocate(KEEP_SIZE)`, macOS `F_PREALLOCATE`, Windows
+//! `SetFileValidData`) and the durable-flush primitive (Linux/macOS
+//! `fsync`/`F_FULLFSYNC` wrapped in a bounded syscall, Windows
+//! `FlushFileBuffers`) — live in per-OS sibling modules. The dispatch
+//! happens once at the bottom of this file via cfg-gated `mod` decls.
+//! No inline `#[cfg(target_os = "...")]` in the business-logic above.
+//!
+//! ## Write path
+//!
+//! Writes are direct passthrough to the underlying `File` (no writer
+//! thread, no ring, no batching). Empirically the Phase-2.5
+//! writer-thread architecture introduced a ~60% mux throughput
+//! regression on NFS bidirectional workloads; reverting the write path
+//! to direct passthrough restores the 0.20.7 baseline. The writeback
+//! pipeline still runs (it's called inline from `write` / `write_all` /
+//! `seek`) so the bounded-cache invariant on Linux is preserved.
+//!
+//! ## Halt-safety
+//!
+//! `sync_all` runs the per-OS durable-flush primitive, which on
+//! Linux/macOS is wrapped in [`crate::io::bounded::bounded_syscall`]
+//! with a 60 s deadline. A wedged NFS server cannot trap the muxer
+//! indefinitely on the final fsync.

-//! BD-J JAR parser — extract audio/subtitle track labels from disc menus.
-//!
-//! Blu-ray discs with BD-J menus store the menu application as Java JAR files
-//! in BDMV/JAR/. These contain .class files with string constants that label
-//! audio and subtitle tracks (e.g. "eng_ADES_US_" = Descriptive Audio US).
-//!
-//! with no way to tell them apart (e.g. 3x "AC-3 5.1 English").
-//!
-//! The JAR is a ZIP file. Each .class file has a Java constant pool containing
-//! UTF-8 string literals. We scan for patterns like:
-//!   {lang}_{codec}_{variant}_   → audio track labels
-//!   {lang}_PGStream{n}          → subtitle track labels
-//!   MAIN_FEATURE                → playlist identification
-//!   FORCED_TRAILER              → forced content identification
-//!
-//! This is best-effort: if the JAR doesn't contain labels or the format
-//! is unexpected, we return empty results. The caller falls back to
-//! showing streams without labels.
