 `imwrite` returns `False` on an unwritable path (`OSError` caught) instead of raising, matching `cv2.imwrite` semantics. macOS/Linux already accept UTF-8 paths, so it is behavior-neutral there (the bug only reproduces on Windows).
 
 **`to_bgr(image)` (added 2026-06-09)** is the shared channel normalizer: promotes 2D grayscale / (h,w,1) / 4-channel BGRA to 3-channel BGR (a 3-channel input is returned unchanged, no copy). Use it instead of inlining the `cvtColor(GRAY2BGR/BGRA2BGR)` branch — the gemini engine and the `TextMarkEngine` base both route through it so a grayscale/BGRA input (a real Gemini-app export is opaque RGBA) does not crash the `axis=2` channel reductions. cv2/numpy are imported lazily inside the functions, so the module is cheap to import in a bare env.

+## CLI commands (`cli.py`)
+
+Full per-command behavior for the skip/exit branches summarized in `CLAUDE.md`'s "How to run". The CLI distinguishes three exit codes: success (0), hard error (1), and a "nothing to do" code (2, `EXIT_NO_VISIBLE_MARK` / `EXIT_NO_INVISIBLE_SIGNAL`) so a wrapping service (raiw.cc) can surface guidance instead of treating an unchanged image as done (the production "it didn't work" / score-0 trap).
+
+### `all`
+
+Full pipeline (visible + invisible + metadata). Same diffusion knobs as `invisible`, plus the visible-pass `--inpaint/--no-inpaint`/`--inpaint-method`. **When the `[gpu]` extra is absent, step 2 (invisible/SynthID) is skipped** — `all` still writes an output (visible mark + metadata stripped) but prints a prominent end-of-run banner ("the invisible (SynthID) watermark was NOT removed") AND exits **non-zero** (1), so a skipped SynthID pass is not mistaken for a clean result (the recurring #14/#47 trap, where the old quiet inline warning was missed). `invisible` already hard-errors without the extra; only `all` continued, hence the loud end-banner. Regression-guarded by `tests/test_cli.py::TestAllCommand::test_all_loud_warning_and_nonzero_exit_when_gpu_missing`. **No-signal skip (P0#5):** step 2 also runs the same `has_invisible_target` gate (see `invisible` below) — when no invisible watermark is detectable and `--force` is not set, step 2 is skipped and the pixels are left intact, but unlike the GPU-missing skip this is a **SUCCESS (exit 0)**: the visible pass + metadata strip still ran and a file is written (the message says so without claiming the image is clean). Distinct exit semantics by design: GPU-missing = couldn't do the work (non-zero); no-signal = nothing to do (zero). Regression-guarded by `test_all_skips_invisible_on_no_signal_but_succeeds`. **Test trap:** any `all` test that exercises the full pipeline MUST `patch("remove_ai_watermarks.invisible_engine.is_available", return_value=True)` — CI installs core+dev only (no `[gpu]`), so an unpatched `all` test takes the skip branch and now hits the non-zero exit. This passed locally (gpu present → `is_available()` True) but red-failed every matrix cell on the v0.11.0 commit (`test_all_basic`/`test_all_visible_step_uses_registry` asserted exit 0); both now patch `is_available` True.
+
+### `invisible`
+
+Diffusion SynthID removal. The `--tile/--no-tile` knob is the *lossless* alternative to a `--max-resolution` downscale for large inputs that OOM on MPS/GPU: it engages only when the long side exceeds `--tile-size` (default 1024); tiles are feather-blended over `--tile-overlap` px (default 128); pair with `--max-resolution 0`. `--adaptive-polish` is a detail-targeted polish that self-gates to a no-op where there is no deficit. `--auto` is deprecated and now a no-op that only warns (the polish it used to enable is ON by default). **No-signal skip (P0#5, roadmap):** before the diffusion runs, the command checks `identify.has_invisible_target(source)` (the `ProvenanceReport.ai_from_metadata` union: C2PA AI-issuer / SynthID proxy, IPTC, AIGC, local gen params, EXIF/xAI, open DWT-DCT / TrustMark — visible marks do NOT count, they are a separate pass). When nothing is locally detectable it does NOT regenerate (that would only degrade a clean image — the dominant paid score-0 cause on no-watermark uploads): it writes NO output, prints guidance that does NOT claim the image is clean (a pixel SynthID is undetectable once its metadata proxy is gone), and exits **`EXIT_NO_INVISIBLE_SIGNAL` (2)** — same value/role as the visible `EXIT_NO_VISIBLE_MARK`. `--force/--no-force` (**default skip = ON**) runs the scrub regardless. The check fails SAFE (a detector exception → run, since leaving a watermark on a paid removal is worse than over-regenerating). Helpers `cli._no_invisible_signal_exit` + `identify.has_invisible_target`; regression-guarded by `tests/test_cli.py::TestInvisibleCommand::{test_invisible_no_signal_skips_and_exits_two,test_invisible_force_runs_scrub_on_no_signal,test_invisible_runs_without_force_when_signal_present}` and `tests/test_identify.py::TestHasInvisibleTargetFailSafe`. **Test trap:** any `invisible`/`all`/`batch` test that exercises the diffusion path on a signal-LESS fixture (e.g. the synthetic `sample_png`) MUST pass `--force`, or the new gate skips step 2 (so `mock_engine.remove_watermark` is never called / `invisible` exits 2).
+
+### `visible`
+
+Known-visible-mark removal, CPU, no GPU. Reverse-alpha based: each mark is removed by inverting its captured alpha map. `--mark auto` (default) picks the strongest detected of the Gemini sparkle, the Doubao "豆包AI生成" text strip, the Jimeng "★ 即梦AI" wordmark, and the Samsung Galaxy AI "✦ Contenuti generati dall'AI" strip (bottom-LEFT, locale-specific — Italian variant calibrated); `--mark gemini` / `--mark doubao` / `--mark jimeng` / `--mark samsung` force one (choices come from the registry). Gemini/Doubao recover pixels exactly with no inpaint at native; **Jimeng and Samsung add an always-on thin residual inpaint over the glyph footprint** (their marks re-rasterize per image, so reverse-alpha alone leaves a faint outline). For arbitrary logos/objects use `erase`. **When `--mark auto` finds no known mark (the common case — ~74% of real uploads carry no registered visible mark), the command does NOT silently re-serve the input as a finished result.** It runs a cheap metadata-only `identify`, prints actionable guidance (if the image carries an invisible/metadata mark, e.g. an OpenAI/Gemini C2PA image, it points to `all`; otherwise it does NOT imply the image is clean -- it warns that an invisible pixel watermark like SynthID cannot be detected once the metadata proxy is gone and routes to both `all` and `erase --region`), writes NO output file, and exits **`EXIT_NO_VISIBLE_MARK` (2)** — distinct from success (0) and a hard error (1) so a wrapping service (raiw.cc) can surface the message instead of treating the unchanged image as done (the production "it didn't work" / score-0 trap). Same handling for an explicit `--mark <name>` that is not detected. Helper `cli._no_visible_mark_exit`; regression-guarded by `tests/test_cli.py::TestVisibleCommand::test_visible_auto_no_mark_exits_two_with_eraser_hint` and `test_visible_auto_no_mark_routes_to_all_when_metadata`. `--no-detect` still forces the gemini fallback and proceeds (exit 0).
+
+### `batch`
+
+Process every supported image in a directory (output defaults to `<directory>_clean/`, set with `-o`). `--mode visible|invisible|metadata|all` (default `visible`); the invisible/all path reuses the **full `invisible` knob set** (`--strength`/`--steps`/`--guidance-scale`/`--pipeline`/`--controlnet-scale`/`--model`/`--device`/`--max-resolution`/`--min-resolution`/`--upscaler`/`--seed`/`--hf-token`/`--humanize`/`--unsharp`/`--adaptive-polish`/`--tile`/`--tile-size`/`--tile-overlap`/`--force`), plus `--inpaint/--no-inpaint` for the visible pass. `--adaptive-polish` is ON by default; `--auto` is deprecated and a no-op that only warns. **No-signal skip (P0#5):** in invisible/all mode each image runs the same `has_invisible_target` gate — a signal-less image is skipped (no diffusion); in `invisible` mode the input is copied through to the output dir so it stays complete, in `all` mode the visible-removed result is kept and metadata is still stripped. `--force` scrubs every image regardless. One engine cached per pipeline; the polish is resolved once before the loop.

 **A failed PyPI upload of one artifact still leaves the other live and you cannot re-upload the same version** — fix the build and cut the next patch.
 
 **Build backend is unpinned `hatchling`** (`[build-system] requires`) since 2026-06-09. History: it was pinned `<1.31` because hatchling 1.30.0 made Metadata-Version 2.5 (PEP 794) the default and the twine bundled in `pypa/gh-action-pypi-publish@release/v1` rejected it (`"'2.5' is not a valid Metadata-Version"`), which **failed the v0.8.3 PyPI upload on 2026-06-01**; hatchling 1.30.1 reverted the default to 2.4. After the workflow moved to `uv publish` (whose uploader accepts 2.5) the pin was belt-and-suspenders only, and once v0.9.0 + v0.10.0 both published wheel+sdist through that path (verified on PyPI) it was dropped. If a future hatchling flips the default to 2.5 again and some consumer chokes, re-pin with a dated comment.

+## Dependency CVE-resolution history (`uv-secure`)
+
+The standing `uv-secure` gate in `maintain.sh` is clean; this is the changelog of how each alert was resolved, so a future alert is not re-triaged from scratch.
+
+- **idna** bumped 3.11 -> 3.16, fixing GHSA-65pc-fj4g-8rjx.
+- **aiohttp** bumped 3.13.5 -> 3.14.0 via `uv lock --upgrade-package aiohttp`, fixing GHSA-hg6j-4rv6-33pg + GHSA-jg22-mg44-37j8.
+- **basicsr** Dependabot alert GHSA-86w8-vhw6-q9qq is resolved by removal: the experimental `restore` extra was retired and basicsr is no longer anywhere in the dependency tree.
+- **torch** Dependabot alert **GHSA-rrmf-rvhw-rf47** (`torch.jit.script` memory corruption, vulnerable `<= 2.12.0`) is **dismissed as `not_used`** (2026-06-10): torch is a transitive dep of the optional `gpu` extra only, the codebase never calls `torch.jit` (grep-verified), and **no patched torch version exists** (`first_patched_version` is null), so it cannot be closed by an upgrade — do not re-triage it.
