Extend the development-only benchmark family from images to audio and
video, and close four research directions from the watermark-landscape
map with local, revision-pinned evidence.
Benchmark schema: media_type audio and video rows, audioseal and
videoseal adapters with media-checked adapter binding, sample-domain
audio fidelity (SNR with unbounded_identical), frame-domain video
fidelity (mean PSNR, changed-frame fraction), and per-frame temporal
evidence in videoseal detection records. The report accepts all three
media types and carries SNR columns.
Audio: shared pinned AudioSeal oracle, synthetic and system-voice
speech cohorts with matched negatives, codec, noise, removed, and
forged arms, and the provenance experiment proving visual-only video
cleaning leaves the audio bitstream and watermark verdict invariant.
Video: TorchScript-only VideoSeal oracle (the pip package is unusable
on macOS arm64 and its loader resolves paths relative to cwd), video
cohort with crf/scale/fps attacks and four-state arms, temporal
evaluation measuring the crf decay curve, the frame-aggregation matrix
(computed locally after finding the TorchScript build ignores the
aggregation argument), and real provider clips as carriers.
Forgery: double-embedding study showing the last writer wins completely
under both oracles, scoped remover-trace probe, and the forged/
removed cohort arms encoding each scheme's correct expected verdict
(presence rule for audioseal, message rule for videoseal).
C2PA resolution: measured the five vendors' resolver contracts and the
C2PA 2.2 18.10.5 privacy gradient; product decision recorded that this
tool never resolves over the network. A registry guard pins the
published resolution-API set.
Gate: ruff and pyright src/ clean, 2114 passed / 3 skipped; maintain.sh
stops only on the known unfixed lightning 2.6.5 CVEs, pre-existing.
