**Root cause and external confirmation (deep-research 2026-06-19, adversarially verified).** This is the SCHEME's ceiling, not our usage — there is no better decoder to adopt. The imwatermark maintainers state verbatim (both the ShieldMnt and Stability-AI READMEs) that the algorithm "cannot guarantee to decode the original watermarks 100% accurately even though we don't apply any attack." Independent measurement (WMAdapter, arXiv:2406.08337 Table 2) puts dwtDct at only **~0.79 bit accuracy on CLEAN images (~38/48 bits — already below our 44 gate)**, collapsing to ~0.50 (chance) under crop/JPEG. Two code-verified + locally-reproduced mechanisms drive the content-dependent failures: (1) the decoder reads each bit as the **highest-magnitude DCT coefficient per block**, so any content coefficient exceeding the encoded target flips the bit; (2) the default embed is in the **YUV chroma channel, which 8-bit-clamps on white/bright pixels** (a +36 chroma delta survives a white-fill round-trip as only +4, ~89% loss) — this is the mechanism behind the bright-flat / minimalist failures and the all-ones degenerate decode. No maintained fork or detector decodes this scheme reliably: the WAVES benchmark (arXiv:2401.08573) relegates DWT-DCT to supplementary appendix G.5 and targets Stable Signature / Tree-Ring / StegaStamp instead; learned encoder/decoder schemes reach ~0.98-0.99 clean but are a DIFFERENT watermark class (not what SDXL/FLUX stamp). `dwtDctSvd` does not help (SDXL embeds `dwtDct`; dwtDctSvd cannot decode it, and its clean accuracy ~0.72 is lower). **Authoritative conclusion: the open DWT-DCT mark cannot be turned from positive-only into a reliable real-world detector; keep it positive-only and rely on C2PA.** (Refuted along the way: that the library is unmaintained, and that it is robust to JPEG but only fails on geometric attacks — both did not survive verification.)
Consequence for the FLUX hosted-output question (BFL Playground, FLUX.2 [pro] + FLUX.1 [dev], 2026-06-19): all samples carry the signed C2PA manifest (issuer "Black Forest Labs"); the open DWT-DCT decode returned `None`, but every available FLUX carrier (textured fox AND a minimalist-flat generation) failed the positive control (28/48), so the detector is blind on them and **whether BFL hosted output embeds the open pixel watermark is UNRESOLVED** (an earlier note here wrongly asserted it absent — overstated; a later note blamed "high texture" — also wrong, flat carriers fail too). What IS established: C2PA is the reliable FLUX identifier; the `_BITS_48` pattern is correct (round-trips on chatgpt/firefly/random). Resolving the hosted question needs a hosted FLUX carrier that first passes a >=44/48 positive control, which neither a textured nor a flat prompt produced — low priority (the open mark is only a stripped-metadata fallback).

- **EXIF/XMP/PNG-text generator tag (caught by `exif_generator`):** **Ideogram** writes EXIF `Make="Ideogram AI"` (collected 2026-05-24 — no C2PA, no SynthID, no imwatermark; the Make tag is the only signal). Additional verified generator stamps include **NovelAI** (`Software`, `Source`, and `Title` PNG text chunks), **Reve** (`Software` or XMP `CreatorTool` = `reve.com`), and **Aphrodite AI** (`Make` or `Software` = `Aphrodite AI`).
- **App-export provenance and AIGC JSON:** supported ByteDance-family exports can place a JSON object in EXIF `ImageDescription` or `UserComment`, independently of C2PA or TC260. Exact `product` values for Doubao, Xinghui, and Dreamina are removable product provenance, but do not alone prove that the pixels were generated. Dreamina additionally requires `exportType=generation` for that verdict. A nested Aweme `aigc_type=1` or private ByteDance `aigc_label_type=1` / `2` is an AIGC disclosure; `0` is inconclusive and can occur on a Dreamina generation export. Plain Aweme, retouch, and `lv` exports are preserved. The lower-case private field is deliberately not interpreted as the normative TC260 `Label`, whose values `1` / `2` / `3` mean generated / possibly generated / suspected generated under [GB 45438-2025](https://www.tc260.org.cn/upload/2025-03-15/1742009439794081593.pdf).
