From a981eb84b1c77d2a55df6e48880b8eb80996b76e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Victor Kuznetsov Date: Wed, 22 Jul 2026 20:32:36 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Make the dataset scanner raw-only and harden format sniffing Strip all derived output: the library verdict, the XMP edit-trail parse, and the IJG quality estimate. The script now collects raw bytes plus mechanical container decodes only, is fully standalone (no remove_ai_watermarks import), and resumes interrupted runs. Add GIF, BMP, and TIFF magic bytes to sniff_format (GIF files in the wild were reported as unknown). Validated on the full 42k-file corpus: 100% coverage, zero error records. --- scripts/scan_dataset.py | 325 ++++------------------------------------ 1 file changed, 27 insertions(+), 298 deletions(-) diff --git a/scripts/scan_dataset.py b/scripts/scan_dataset.py index 1d4d192..869eed9 100644 --- a/scripts/scan_dataset.py +++ b/scripts/scan_dataset.py @@ -1,31 +1,31 @@ -"""Inventory AI-provenance signals AND all raw metadata over a dataset. +"""Collect all raw metadata over a dataset, for later offline analysis. -Read-only.
