v1.5.0: bump version (freemkv-unlock git-pinned for the tag)

Give `info` the same forced-subtitle verdict the muxer derives during a
rip, so the two agree. A shared classifier (mux::codec::pgs::ForcedTracker)
folds a PGS track's display sets — forced iff every one carries the
forced_on_flag — and is used by BOTH the MKV writer and a new scan-time
probe that reads the title's PGS streams (reusing the TS demuxer and PGS
parser). The probe only overrides a track it actually observed content
for, so an undecrypted/unread stream keeps its vendor-derived flag. Gated
behind ScanOptions::probe_forced_subtitles (off for the rip path, which
detects forced while muxing without a second read).

 # Changelog
 
+## [1.5.0] — UNRELEASED
+
+### Added
+
+- **MP4 input (`mp4://` as a source)** — a progressive-MP4 demuxer, the inverse
+  of the muxer: it rebuilds the title + per-sample index from `moov`/`stbl` and
+  streams samples back as PES frames, so `mp4://` now flows to **any** sink
+  (`mp4:// mkv://`, `mp4:// audio://`, `mp4:// json://`, …). Round-trip is
+  frame-exact (verified `iso:// mp4://` → `mp4:// mkv://` preserves every video
+  and audio packet). Progressive MP4 only; fragmented (`moof`) is future work.
+- **MP4 output is faststart by default** — `moov` is written *before* `mdat`, so
+  the file plays over HTTP without pre-fetching the end. Done with zero extra I/O:
+  a `moov`-sized hole (`round_up_4MB(16 B/sample × est_samples) + 4 MB`) is
+  reserved up front, so sample offsets are fixed and `moov` is dropped into the
+  hole at finish with a `free` box for the slack (falls back to moov-at-end only
+  if the estimate is blown).
+- **Native MP4 output (`mp4://`)** — a progressive ISO-BMFF muxer
+  (`ftyp`+`mdat`+`moov`), so a disc goes straight to a play-everywhere `.mp4` in
+  one decrypt pass, no ffmpeg round-trip. Carries HEVC / H.264 video (HDR10 colour
+  via `colr`) and the audio MP4 supports — AC-3 (`dac3`), E-AC-3 (`dec3`), and
+  DTS / DTS-HD (`dtsc`/`dtsh` + `ddts`) — with correct sample tables and B-frame
+  composition offsets. It's a **compatibility export, not archival**: MP4 can't
+  hold TrueHD, LPCM, or bitmap (PGS/VobSub) subtitles, so those are **excluded
+  with a loud, itemized report — never a silent drop** (`mkv://` remains the
+  keep-everything path). Verified byte-for-byte equivalent to `ffmpeg -c copy`:
+  frame-exact video and audio (incl. a real DTS-HD MA 7.1 track, layout-exact),
+  identical colour and duration, clean decode.
+
+- **Five extraction sinks — dissect a title, don't just rip it.** New write-only
+  destinations that pull one facet of a title out on its own:
+  - **`video://dir/`** — every video track to its own file, as a raw elementary
+    stream in the codec's native form (`.hevc`, `.h264`, `.vc1`, `.m2v`, `.obu`).
+    No audio, no subtitles. Completes the per-track-class trio with `audio://` /
+    `sub://`.
+  - **`audio://dir/`** — every audio track to its own file in a directory, each in
+    its native container (`.thd`, `.dts` / `.dtshd`, `.ac3`, `.eac3`, `.aac`,
+    `.flac`). No video, no subtitles. BD/DVD LPCM has no container of its own and is
+    written as headerless big-endian `.pcm`.
+  - **`sub://dir/`** — every subtitle track to its own file: PGS as `.sup`, VobSub
+    as a paired `.idx` + `.sub`, text subtitles as `.srt`. No video, no audio.
+  - **`chapters://file`** — a title's chapter markers as a single sidecar, in the
+    format the output extension selects: `.xml` (Matroska), `.txt` / `.ogm` (OGM
+    simple), or `.vtt` (WebVTT).
+  - **`json://file`** — one title's complete structure as JSON.
+
+  `audio://` and `sub://` are the demux path with a **kind filter** (only their
+  track class is opened and written). `chapters://` and `json://` are **scan-only**
+  — they read nothing of the elementary streams, so they return in seconds.
+
+- **Drop-on-undecodable audio — keep everything decodable, drop the frames that
+  aren't.** A damaged audio access unit is now dropped rather than muxed as a
+  decoder-choking glitch, and A/V sync is preserved: a drop becomes a silence
+  gap, never a shift of the following audio, and every drop is logged. Detection
+  is per-codec, each mirroring the format's own authoritative integrity check:
+  **DTS** (ffmpeg's core-header validity parse), **AC-3 / E-AC-3** (native frame
+  CRC-16), **FLAC** (whole-frame CRC-16), **MP2 / MP3** and **AAC-ADTS** (header
+  sanity — raw AAC passes through), and **TrueHD / MLP** (major-sync CRC-16 + AU
+  parity, verified against real ffmpeg output; because MLP state carries across
+  access units, a corrupt AU is dropped *forward* to the next major sync). LPCM
+  and video are excluded by design (no in-frame integrity data; inter-frame
+  prediction). A shared tally counts and logs drops and, for a track that is
+  mostly undecodable, drops the whole track. Detects only frames that are
+  *structurally* undecodable — corruption of the sample payload inside an
+  otherwise-valid frame (bad bit-allocation / XLL data) is source damage a
+  container remux cannot distinguish from good data.
+
+- **Forced subtitle detection from PGS content.** A PGS subtitle track is flagged
+  `FlagForced` when it displays subtitles and every one carries the HDMV
+  `forced_on_flag` — a dedicated forced/narrative track — read from the stream
+  itself rather than the disc's vendor label metadata, so it works on discs that
+  carry no such blob. `info -v` reports the same verdict (one shared classifier
+  drives both the muxer and the scan-time probe), so `info` and a rip agree.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **`json://` emits the complete title model — lossless, not a summary.** Every
+  field the scan resolved is serialized: video carries resolution (+ pixel
+  dimensions, interlaced flag), frame rate (+ exact fraction), HDR, colour space,
+  display aspect, and measured CICP; audio carries channel layout (+ count), sample
+  rate (+ Hz), language, and editorial purpose; subtitles carry the forced flag and
+  qualifier. The clip list and chapter names are included too.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **TrueHD: a couple of transient errors can no longer poison a whole track.**
+  A corrupt access unit drops forward to the next major sync, but only the
+  individually-verified corruption feeds the whole-track drop verdict now; the
+  resync run is collateral — so two scattered errors no longer discard an
+  otherwise-good multi-hour track. The per-AU PTS rate is refined only from a
+  CRC-validated major sync (a corrupt one can't shift the resumed audio), and the
+  resync clears only on a validated major sync.
+- **Free-format MPEG-audio** (`bitrate_index == 0`) is a legal, decodable mode and
+  is no longer dropped.
+
+## [1.4.5] — 2026-07-18
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **FMTS (AACS 2.1) forensic discs now mux to a clean, single-variant stream.** A
+  forensic segment interleaves the local device group's variant with a foreign
+  group's at the aligned-unit level. The mux decrypted only our half but left the
+  foreign half in the buffer as ciphertext, on the assumption that the demuxer
+  "drops untouched ciphertext cleanly." It does not — a foreign unit's bytes hit a
+  tracked PID at the 192-byte stride, mis-parse, and trip the demux's concealed-gap
+  keyframe resync, which discards good frames of ours around every segment (visible
+  playback glitches). `AacsKeyMap::read_plan` now turns the map into the title's
+  read plan: every default / CPS unit, plus inside a forensic segment **only our
+  phase's units**. The foreign half is never read, decrypted, or handed to the
+  demux. On a retail 4K UHD title this took concealed-gap resyncs from **349 → 0**
+  and recovered ~2 GB of previously-dropped frames. Wired into **both** mux paths —
+  the file-backed highway (`build_iso_pipeline`) and the inline live-drive
+  `DiscStream` (`with_key_map`) — so single- and multi-pass FMTS rips are both clean.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **Key-bearing types redact their `Debug` output.** Every type that carries key
+  material (device keys, processing keys, unit keys, media keys, VUKs, resolved
+  chains, CSS/AACS state, …) now prints a `<redacted>` marker instead of the bytes,
+  so no key can reach a log or panic message. Each is covered by a test asserting no
+  key byte appears.
+- **Hex parsing is centralized and case-insensitive.** A single set of canonical
+  `0x`/`0X`-tolerant hex→integer parsers replaces scattered ad-hoc parsing (this is
+  what silently dropped keydb device keys written with an uppercase `0X` prefix).
+- **Internal-only public surface narrowed to `pub(crate)`, and duplicate
+  `foo_with_X` methods collapsed to one** — no behavioral change, smaller API.
+
+## [1.4.4] — 2026-07-17
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Online key requests are no longer silently dropped on discs that yield few
+  sample units.** The online key source refuses any request carrying fewer than
+  `MIN_SAMPLE_UNITS` (8) encrypted-content samples — too few can match an
+  incidental unit rather than the one asked about (a false positive, most acute on
+  AACS 2.1 forensic-variant content). autorip gathered only 4, so every online
+  lookup was skipped before it ever reached the key service and surfaced to the
+  user as "key service down." autorip's sample count is now tied to
+  `MIN_SAMPLE_UNITS` with a **compile-time floor**, so it can never regress below
+  the minimum again.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **The online request is assembled from a proven-sufficient sample set.** New
+  `DecodeSampleSet` (`libfreemkv::keysource`) wraps the content-unit samples and
+  can only be constructed with at least `MIN_SAMPLE_UNITS` of them — so an online
+  key request cannot be built from too few samples. The minimum is validated once,
+  at construction, rather than by a runtime check a caller could forget.
+
+## [1.4.3] — 2026-07-17
+
+### Changed
+
+- **`MIN_SAMPLE_UNITS` moved to the base crate.** The minimum sample count an
+  online key request must carry now has a single definition in
+  `libfreemkv::keysource`; `freemkv-keysources` re-exports it, so the online source
+  and libfreemkv's own forensic query size their requests from one shared value.
+- **The online unit-key reply is parsed as a list.** A response carries either a
+  single Unit Key (ordinary disc) or the full ordered set (an AACS 2.1
+  forensic-variant disc); the client accepts both and maps array position to
+  forensic index.
+
+### Added
+
+- **Forensic-variant online query samples the anchor segment.** On an AACS 2.1
+  forensic-variant disc the online key query draws its sample from the first
+  forensic segment (index 1) — one canonical, deterministic sample — instead of an
+  arbitrary segment.
+

+//! Shared "keep what decodes, drop what doesn't" bookkeeping for the audio
+//! codec parsers.
+//!
+//! The user's rule: a clean mux keeps every frame it can and drops the ones it
+//! can't — video always survives (it's inter-frame predicted; a per-frame drop
+//! would cascade, so video resyncs/conceals instead), audio keeps every
+//! decodable access unit, and a damaged audio AU is dropped rather than shipped
+//! as a decoder-choking glitch.
+//!
+//! The DETECTION is inherently per-codec — each format carries its own
+//! authoritative corruption check (DTS: ffmpeg's core-header parse; AC-3: the
+//! header CRC; FLAC: the frame CRC-16; …). This type only carries the UNIFORM
+//! response so every audio parser behaves identically:
+//!
+//! 1. **Count** kept vs dropped AUs and the dropped duration.
+//! 2. **Log** every drop (fail-loud, never silent) — a per-drop trace plus a
+//!    once-per-track aggregate at `warn` so it surfaces without debug logging.
+//! 3. **Whole-track fallback**: once a track is judged mostly undecodable, latch
+//!    a poison flag so the remainder is dropped too (a track that damaged isn't
+//!    worth muxing).
+//!
+//! **Sync preservation is the caller's responsibility**, not this type's: the
+//! parser must advance its PTS clock across a dropped AU exactly as it would for
+//! an emitted one, so a drop becomes a silence gap and never a shift of the
+//! following audio. See `DtsParser`'s `stamp_pts` call ordering for the pattern.

+//! FLAC frames carry no length field, so a raw stream is delimited only by
+//! sync-scanning + CRC validation. In freemkv, though, FLAC never arrives raw:
+//! it comes from mp4/mkv, where each packet is exactly one container-delimited
+//! FLAC frame (the `PARSER_FLAG_COMPLETE_FRAMES` case in ffmpeg). So this parser
+//! is a per-packet gate, not a framer: every FLAC frame ends with a 16-bit CRC
+//! (poly 0x8005) computed so the residue over the whole frame is zero
+//! (ffmpeg `flac_decode_frame`, `av_crc(AV_CRC_16_ANSI, 0, buf, len) == 0`). A
+//! nonzero residue is definitive corruption → drop the frame (a silence gap,
+//! never a shift — each packet keeps its own PTS), logged via the shared tally.
+//!
+//! A packet that does not begin with the FLAC frame sync is not a delimited
+//! frame we can validate, so it is passed through unchanged (never false-dropped).

+//! MP4 audio sample entries and codec-config boxes for the `mp4://` muxer.
+//!
+//! Covers the codecs that map cleanly into MP4 and play widely: **AC-3**
+//! (`ac-3` + `dac3`), **E-AC-3 / Dolby Digital Plus** (`ec-3` + `dec3`, incl.
+//! Atmos-in-DD+ JOC), and **DTS / DTS-HD** (`dtsc`/`dtsh` + `ddts`, describing
+//! the core with whole access units passed through so an HD decoder finds the
+//! extension). Config boxes are derived from the first audio frame's bitstream
+//! (ISO/IEC 14496-12 amendments; ETSI TS 102 366 / 102 114). Codecs with no
+//! clean MP4 mapping (TrueHD, LPCM, bitmap subtitles) are excluded by the fit
+//! oracle in the sink.
