`resolve_dvd_title_key` decided whether to run the DVD CSS crack by asking
what CONTAINER it was looking at — `ContentFormat::MpegPs`. MPEG program
stream is what DVD and HD-DVD have in common, so every HD-DVD title was
run through a crack scan for a copy-protection scheme HD-DVD does not
use and cannot carry: AACS is its family, and CSS appears nowhere on the
disc.
Both outcomes of that scan were wrong. The cheap one wasted up to 50,000
sector reads per title. The expensive one returned `CssKeyMissing` —
E7023 — refusing a perfectly good HD-DVD with a CSS error, which is what
a real CI run produced on the HD-DVD fixture. Reading E7023 there sends
whoever triages it looking for a missing DVD key on a disc that never had
one, which is how a routing bug spends a day disguised as a key problem.
The right axis was already in the codebase and already used: `mux/resolve`
asks `disc.format == DiscFormat::Dvd`. This threads the disc format down
to the decision and adds `DiscFormat::may_have_css` to name the question.
The asymmetry decides the default, so it is worth stating. Running CSS on
an HD-DVD costs a wasted scan or a false refusal — visible, recoverable,
annoying. NOT running it on a real DVD muxes scrambled sectors as
plaintext and exits 0, which is the failure-that-looks-like-success class
this project has shipped once already. So `may_have_css` is false ONLY
for the families proven CSS-free, and `DiscFormat::Unknown` — a bare
reader with no scan behind it — still cracks. An `== Dvd` allow-list
would have read as tighter while silently stranding every caller that
cannot name its disc.
Both directions are pinned: an HD-DVD title must never enter the crack,
and an unknown-format title must still enter it. Removing the disc-format
clause fails the first and leaves the second and every DVD test green.
