Tiled diffusion was never provider-oracle calibrated with verified text
restoration: the tiled VAE donor path ran anyway and produced results no
oracle had certified. The combination is now rejected at both the
pipeline and the engine seam (ValueError with the reason), and the CLI
help no longer implies support. The invisible help is generalized and
the metadata container list corrected (MKA/OGA/Opus/AAC).
scripts/contentseal_transforms.py reproduces the deterministic crop,
resize, and JPEG variants of the Content Seal corpus from manifest.csv,
hash-verifying every output; its README gains scripts/README.md context
and new data tests. The corpus README is honest about the one crop the
daily oracle limit left unchecked, and the eval CSVs carry the updated
verdicts. The byte-scan SynthID suppression hoists its soft-binding
lookup so the guard is computed once.
Staged on top of 0.33.1; no version bump in this commit.
A manifest that names its own forensic soft-binding algorithm carries
that vendor's mark; the generic watermark-action vendor-token inference
must not add a second, differently-attributed invisible watermark from
the same bytes. Microsoft Designer manifests triggered exactly that:
signed by Microsoft, watermarked by InvisMark, with the generation
agent named "Azure OpenAI ImageGen" - the OpenAI issuer token inside
that service name plus the InvisMark watermarked action satisfied the
OpenAI SynthID-evidence rule, and identify reported one forensic mark
as two paid pixel watermarks.
Three changes, one rule at every inference site (the verdict-scan
comment's own lesson: a rule that lives in only one copy is a rule the
others silently lack):
- c2pa.py structured path: SynthID evidence now scopes to the
signer/generator identity strings only (signature issuer, claim
generator), never the raw chain, and is suppressed entirely when a
soft-binding algorithm is named.
- c2pa.py byte fallback and metadata.py synthid_source: suppressed when
the scan names a soft-binding algorithm.
- identify.py verdict scan: same suppression.
Gemini and ChatGPT originals keep their provenance-asserted SynthID
strings; the Designer regression is pinned by
test_designer_synthid_suppression.py (agent name alone is not the
vendor's provenance, and a named soft binding suppresses the
inference).
