Calibrated on the 117-frame TC260-producer cohort (vendor_cohort_harvest +
vendor_mark_calibrate, both committed here): per-mark 2-rung ladder
(0.78, 1.27) for the two measured size modes, fitted locate box (the mark
sits ~0.025 of the short side off the edge; doubao's box clipped the first
glyph), measured template aspect 0.26, gate 0.45 (clean p99 0.301).
Strict-only (the sub-gate band is non-Qwen banners), no rival margin
(0 cross-fires on 400 doubao / 298 jimeng / 286 clean frames).
83/83 real marks detector-clean after cv2 fill.
TextMarkConfig gains a per-mark ladder field; the shipped 3-rung default
is unchanged for every other mark.
The Tier E adversarial sweep (new, scripts/robustness_suite.py) drove the real CLI
over truncated, corrupt, zero-byte, absurdly-shaped and bomb inputs, unicode and
RTL paths, hostile output directories and concurrent runs. It found two crashes;
the /simplify review then reproduced a third and worse one.
1. A FAILED WRITE CRASHED ON THE SIZE REPORT. image_io.imwrite is contractually
non-raising and returns False, but write_bgr_with_alpha discarded that bool and
returned None, so no caller could tell a failed write from a successful one.
Every write site then ran output.stat() to print the size, so a read-only
destination died with a bare FileNotFoundError pointing at the stat rather than
the write. The fix is deliberately NOT uniform: single-image commands exit via
the new cli._write_output_or_exit; api._write_visible_result RAISES so a library
caller gets an accurate error instead of a confusing FileNotFoundError from the
downstream metadata strip; and the batch sites raise but never SystemExit,
because the batch loop counts per-image exceptions and aborting would kill the
whole run.
2. BATCH LOST DATA SILENTLY. Into a read-only output directory it wrote ZERO files
for 2 inputs and exited 0 -- no traceback, no error, an empty output directory a
wrapping service would read as a completed run. The robustness harness could not
see this class at all, since it scored exit codes and traceback markers and this
failure has neither; it now asserts on the artifacts written.
3. A DIRECTORY PASSED AS THE IMAGE crashed the metadata scanner with
IsADirectoryError, because click.Path(exists=True) accepts directories. Fixed
with dir_okay=False on all six source arguments, so argument parsing refuses it.
Also adds Tier B4 (scripts/resource_ceilings.py): peak RSS per fill backend from
1 MP to 25 MP, one fresh process per cell. migan 603->775 MB and lama 4679->4779 MB
are flat in input size, confirming the crop-around-the-mask design and both
documented figures; cv2 is the only backend that grows (74->440 MB, 5.9x). The
harness's own no-op check originally allocated a full-frame temp before reading
peak RSS and inflated the numbers with input size -- it now compares only the mask
box, and the conclusion survived re-measurement.
And scripts/real_examples_e2e.py, which drives every command over real corpus
examples and checks the outcome rather than the exit code: 6/6 provenance classes
identified, 10/10 metadata strips re-scan clean, all three fill backends write,
diffusion on MPS writes genuinely changed images. It records samsung as a real
partial (the faintest mark, 0.431 -> 0.404 against a 0.40 gate on the weakest of
its 3 corpus positives) and treats the gated pill's refusal to act as correct.
