Main's claim_generator_platform and c2pa_vendor_platform now use the
branch's whole-word registry match, which replaces
claim_generator_word_platform. The branch's provenance veto covers every
video mark and made main's Veo-over-Sora override unreachable, so the
override is removed. Main's credential rule carries into the veto: an
invalid credential vetoes nothing. Provenance that confirms the mark's
own vendor also vetoes nothing. Over 78 local videos with a C2PA AI
claim, the only verdict changes against main are Kling/Hailuo false
positives on Veo and FLUX clips that the veto now removes. C2PA verdicts
over 1,379 files are unchanged against the pre-merge branch.

Collect provider samples from Higgsfield, Runway and Dreamina plus Google
Photos, Gemini, Grok and YouTube re-encodes into data/captures/2026-09 with
a hash-checked manifest, and use them to fix attribution and false positives:
- Attribute aggregator outputs: Higgsfield job metadata, Dreamina's
re-signed manifests, Runway's own C2PA signer, TC260 video producers.
- Veto any visible video mark when a valid C2PA claim names another vendor
(a Gemini Omni clip read as Sora on steam), and gate Kling and Hailuo
matches on edge, anchor and white-label evidence.
- Veto the Gemini sparkle when trusted provenance names another vendor.
- Report SynthID as present for Google Photos AI edits: Google's checker
found it on all four measured edits, though manifests record no action.
- Add Vidu video and Wan image marks, TC260 audio placements, and record
the AIGC key in metadata records.
- Document the research sweep, the Dreamina badge decision, and verified
Google statements on SynthID in Photos.

- Lock OpenCV 5 and cap NumPy below 2.4 through uv constraint-dependencies so
PaddleX 3.7 keeps resolving; Dependabot ignores mirror the cap.
- OpenCV 5 draws Hershey putText glyphs differently, so the Dola and Kling
video templates ship as committed OpenCV 4 renders with a recipe script, and
the OpenArt alpha recipe now refuses any OpenCV but 4.x.
- Break Sora/Veo cross-matches in favor of Veo under valid Google AI-video
provenance, and require the full Sora mascot shape for mascot-only matches.
- Let the Doubao engine detect marks tinted by saturated backgrounds.
- Share C2PA claim-generator, credential-level and vendor-platform helpers,
JPEG suffixes and the DCT basis instead of per-module copies.
- Log model download failures, document the optional GITHUB_TOKEN, mark the
photo and source classifier model cards archived, and refresh the lock.

Every existing text-mark engine (Doubao, Jimeng, Qwen, Baidu, Kling,
Yuanbao) is tuned to one vendor's exact wordmark silhouette, so none of
them match a bare "AI生成" strip with no brand name in front of it.
Confirmed on raiw-app production: a free `visible` run left a bottom-right
"AI生成" watermark completely unremoved because no detector fired.
Research found the wording is not tied to one dominant generator: vivo's
own support documentation confirms its Gallery stamps a bare "AI生成"
label after AI消除/AI扩图/大片模式 editing, and independent reporting
documents the same watermark on Xiaomi Gallery's AI-edit output. Since
the label is a GB 45438-2025/TC260 compliance stamp rather than one
vendor's brand mark, this adds one generic fallback (`generic_ai_label`)
instead of another per-OEM tuned config.
The detection silhouette is font-rendered (no logo element to capture)
via the shared scripts/render_vendor_silhouettes.py pipeline already
used for Qwen/Baidu/Kling/Yuanbao's own text-only marks. Calibration is
synthetic-only (no real captured generator screenshot was available);
the module docstring and DETECT_NCC_THRESHOLD comment carry that caveat
explicitly and this should be recalibrated once real captures exist.

OpenArt.ai stamps free-plan generations with a semi-transparent white
"OpenArt" wordmark (bowtie/infinity icon + brand name) placed near the
CENTER of the frame rather than in a corner. Confirmed from a customer-
reported raiw-app production case where the mark went completely
undetected and unremoved, with no C2PA/EXIF/TC260 signal for identify
to fall back on.
- Add a new "cc" (frame-center) corner mode to the shared
TextMarkConfig/TextMarkEngine base, alongside the existing
corner/edge anchors.
- Add openart_engine.py, following the existing text-mark engine
pattern. No real capture exists (OpenArt requires an account, out of
scope to create), so the bundled alpha asset is a procedural
reconstruction of the public logo and the NCC threshold is an
explicitly-labeled provisional guess, not a measured calibration.
- Register the mark in watermark_registry.py, which auto-derives
identify's platform attribution.
- Add tests/test_openart_engine.py (synthetic composites only) plus
registry/identify test coverage, and document the mark and its
calibration caveats in README.md, docs/supported-signals.md,
docs/module-internals.md, and the skill's commands.md.

Repair image and metadata publication contracts, detection routing, research
artifact validation, release verification, and the published agent skill.
Refresh the dependency lock and reconcile documentation with verified behavior.
Add regression coverage and record the completed audit and corrected VideoSeal
measurements. Preserve the existing Accelerate and Lightning versions.
Validation: Ruff and Pyright pass; 2358 tests pass with 3 skipped. The maintenance
gate exits 2 on the documented Accelerate and Lightning security findings.
`skills/remove-ai-watermarks/` teaches a coding agent to drive the CLI on
content the user generated, and refuses stock-agency and other third-party
paid-asset marks. It ships with this repository rather than as a fifth release
surface, and installs through `npx skills add` in any harness or as a Claude
plugin from `.claude-plugin/marketplace.json`.
`scripts/probe.py` measures capability rather than presence: a found binary said
nothing about whether the build can run a visible-mark command, so it writes a
blank PNG with zlib and struct and runs the installed `visible` and `invisible`
on it. Exit 2 is a state only a working stack reaches, and `invisible` checks
its extra before detection, so a signal-free image answers in 0.23s with no
model download. That distinction matters: without CUDA, `all` writes nothing
with the invisible extra installed and writes a useful visible+metadata result
without it, and both exit 1.
The skill also carries what a weak model gets wrong. It must report only what a
command in the session actually did, because a run on a machine with no pixel
stack produced a finished-looking removal report, complete with a size table for
a file nobody wrote. It must not read exit 2 as a verdict, because Click's usage
errors share that code. And it must get explicit consent before
`verify-openai-synthid`, which uploads the user's image to a third party.

README omitted doubao from both places it lists supported video marks; the
mark has been registered since 2026-08-28 and docs/cli.md and
supported-signals.md already carry it. README also attributed the 2026-07-29
two-clip calibration to video-synthid-oracle.csv, which holds two rows from
one carrier dated 2026-07-31; that calibration was never recorded in a
tracked manifest, so say so rather than implying it is reproducible.
"Both surviving profiles" predates chroma-zimage; there are three. "The SDXL
profiles were removed" reads as false next to the shipped sdxl-zimage --
docs/synthid.md already had the right wording, naming the standalone SDXL and
ControlNet profiles, so use it in the other two places.
The Hub card declared a datasets entry for hugging-face/open-images, which
does not exist and rendered a dead link on the model page. Open Images stays
named in the prose, where it is a source rather than a Hub id.

* Add rigorous SynthID research and evaluation harness
* Record SynthID cross-epoch validation results
* Reset SynthID detector hypotheses to paired training
* Add paired wavelet and spectral SynthID probes
* Record closed-corpus SynthID detector ablations
* Add registered SynthID phase probing
* Add periodic SynthID tile probing
* Add calibrated SynthID pixel detector
* Harden scale-registered SynthID detection
* Record SynthID phase and channel rescue findings
* Add production SynthID routing and OpenAI verification
* Reframe periodic pixel route as pipeline lattice; confirm and harden detection
The frozen periodic experts read an origin-anchored generation-pipeline lattice destroyed by a crop off the tile grid, not the crop-robust SynthID mark. Route the pixel result as an experimental pipeline_lattice signal kept out of the watermark inventory, and carry the crop sensitivity in every verdict envelope.
Add split-patch phase/amplitude/codeword confirmation for registered-v3, affine-lattice and cyclostationary research probes, and timeout/retry/error-taxonomy hardening for the official OpenAI verification path.
* Record pipeline-lattice reframing and registered-v3 phase lock
Document that the pixel route detects an origin-anchored lattice rather than the watermark, and record the registered-v3 two-pixel phase-lock measurement: a 2px diagonal crop killed all 36 tested detections (28 foreign-generator, 8 Google) with recovery only at offsets that are multiples of four. Update README, CLI, Python API, supported-signals, known-limitations, module-internals, the SynthID reference, and the detector research plan.
* Split SynthID campaign docs by detector, classifiers, and removal
Keep Model 1 as a research AI-versus-camera result outside the library.
Retire the mixed oracle-ladders page to a routing hub and mark the plan
file as a chronological archive.
* Keep 2026-08-22 SynthID campaign results in research docs only
Drop Bayer, Model 1, and lattice re-check numbers from user guides and
module internals. The library surface is unchanged.
* Unplug lattice detector from package, expand research docs
* Remove lattice detector sources from the public package
* Document SynthID GitHub sweep findings
* Document general AI classifier sweep
* Document modern-negative taxonomy audit and classifier doc split
Split general AI-classifier research into ai-generated-image-classifiers.md
and record the modern-negative campaign: Unsplash/Openverse date-clean cells,
contamination controls, quarter-hard paired result, closed linear veto and
taxonomy-continuation arms.
pre-commit: 1) maintain.sh - exit 1, known uv-secure lightning advisory with no upstream fix (same triage as main); core checks separately green (ruff, format, pyright, 1564 tests); 2) /simplify - docs-only single pass, no findings; 3) docs sync - split references updated everywhere, none stale; 4) CLAUDE.md - routing line already updated, compliant
* Record wild-AI audit, Meta provider class, and stock-negative expansion
The wild vendor-flagged AI cell (300 stratified rows) puts Model 1 recall at
69.7% on unknown-renderer stock AI; the stock-negative harvest triples the
modern fashion/product cells and confirms the combined-pool veto control;
the Meta muse-image corpus doubles to 132 rows with its margin sweep; a
per-channel cv2 reference fixes the latent fold test under cv2 4.10.0.
pre-commit: 1) maintain.sh - exit 1, known uv-secure lightning advisory with no upstream fix; core checks separately green (ruff, format, pyright, 1665 tests); 2) /simplify - docs-only single pass, no findings; 3) docs sync - new run references point at the gitignored research store, none stale; 4) CLAUDE.md - compact, no changes needed
* Close representation-change campaign: both candidates falsified
Pre-registered gates (AI-test >=1772, fresh OI <=50, Kodak 0, FLUX >=288,
EvalGEN >=95) rejected DINOv2-L ridge head (1427/1847, 162/3000, 1/24, 29/300,
5/100) and the paired-reconstruction FFT tower (14/1847, 12/3000, 0/24, 0/300,
0/100; contract learned at 0.949 pairwise separation but no transfer to
production generators). Campaign verdict: general classifier beyond local
scale as pursued; product stays on documented remainder.
pre-commit: 1) maintain.sh - exit 1, known uv-secure lightning advisory with no upstream fix; core checks green minutes ago (ruff, format, pyright, 1665 tests); 2) /simplify - docs-only single pass, no findings; 3) docs sync - verdict mirrored in data/research/REPRESENTATION-CAMPAIGN.md, no stale refs; 4) CLAUDE.md - no changes
* Record full failure map, H2 router falsification, and H3 process detector closure
20 measured negative domains with batch-2 (memes, whiteboards, tickets, book
pages). H2 domain router falsified: 97.9% of AI-test looks structured, every
family 94-100%. H3 process detector on 369 contrastive pairs from three
generators (OpenAI gpt-image-1-mini, Meta muse-image-1.0, Gemini flash-image)
achieves 0.909 pairwise AUC on training pairs but transfers at AUC 0.55-0.60
to production AI; human receipts score higher than any AI family. The
generator-specific spectral trace does not generalize across three generators,
closing the process-trace family in its current form.
pre-commit: 1) maintain.sh - exit 1, known lightning advisory; core green (ruff, format, pyright, 1665 tests); 2) /simplify - docs + research scripts, single pass, no findings; 3) docs sync - all artifacts in data/research/, no stale refs; 4) CLAUDE.md - no changes
* Record H4-H6 research hypotheses: MLP probe, spectral invariant, TTA voting
H4 (MLP on frozen CLIP): 98.6% AI-test recall but 15.8% photo FPR — same
trade-off curve as quarter-hard. H5 (spectral invariant from CVPR 2025):
2.4% recall, the 1/f^alpha profile does not discriminate current generators.
H6 (TTA voting): fixes museum FP but not documents/UI/fashion, loses 9% recall.
All three falsified against frozen gates; ten total closed hypotheses now
document the CLIP-L representation limit from every angle.
Also records the provider cascade across all 20 domains (69.8% stray on
documents mirrors the detector failure map) and the full Y-phase campaign
PSNR data awaiting oracle rate-limit reset.

* Fix Y-phase frequency convention, record H4-H6 and campaign results
The initial Y-phase campaign targeted FFT bins 16-32 instead of spatial
periods 16-32 px (1/32 to 1/16 cycles/px). After the fix, the full-octave
Y-phase scramble reproduces the known kill (not_detected at 20.5 dB on s1
at native 1122x1402). Partial sub-bands are visually invisible (42.5 dB)
but stay detected: the mark is distributed across the full octave, not
concentrated. Point intervention is not viable within this frequency band.
H4 MLP probe: 98.6% recall, 15.8% FPR (same trade-off wall).
H5 spectral invariant: 2.4% recall (1/f^alpha does not discriminate).
H6 TTA voting: fixes museum FP but not documents/UI/fashion.
pre-commit: 1) maintain.sh - exit 1, known lightning advisory; core green (1665 tests, verified minutes ago); 2) /simplify - docs-only; 3) docs sync - all artifacts synced; 4) CLAUDE.md - no changes
* Add TC260 fifth class and per-class margin calibration to provider cascade
Five-head cascade (openai/google/tc260/meta/no_ai): openai 68.8%, google
76.6%, tc260 63.8%, meta 71.8% mean recall at uniform margin 0.50.
Per-class margins calibrated against 1.67% photo budget: openai 0.31,
google 0.29, tc260 0.39, meta 0.55. TC260 test recall 71.4% at calibrated
margins on 196 held-out images. Chinese-AIGC is a viable pixel class.
pre-commit: 1) maintain.sh - exit 1, known lightning advisory; core green (verified within the hour); 2) /simplify - research script, single pass; 3) docs sync - artifacts in data/research/; 4) CLAUDE.md - no changes
* Record universal detector v3-v8: diverse training shifts the curve
Fresh MLP on frozen CLIP embeddings with 49 negative domains (12,258 images)
and 5,043 AI positives achieves 93.0% AI-test recall with 39/49 domains at
zero false positives. Digital art FP dropped from 99.3% (Model 1) to 24.8%,
fashion from 62-71% to 12%, UI from 99.3% to 12%. Photo FPR 0.7%. The
improvement comes from training data diversity on frozen embeddings, not
representation change (v5 fine-tune proved this by undoing the gains).
Also adds .local-eval to ruff exclude so the gate covers only tracked files.
pre-commit: 1) maintain.sh - exit 1, known lightning advisory; core green (ruff, format, pyright, 1731 tests); 2) /simplify - docs + research; 3) docs sync - all artifacts in data/research/; 4) CLAUDE.md - no changes
* Add three-tier ensemble detector: DEFINITELY/POSSIBLY/LIKELY_HUMAN
Combines Model 1 and v8 into calibrated confidence tiers. DEFINITELY_AI
(both models agree) achieves 79.6% recall at 0.50% photo FPR with 46/49
domains at zero FP. The union reaches 93.3% recall at 1.80% photo FPR
with Kodak 0/24. First detector working across ALL content types with
per-tier calibrated error rates.
pre-commit: 1) maintain.sh - exit 1, known lightning advisory; core green (ruff, format, pyright, 1731 tests); 2) /simplify - docs + ensemble; 3) docs sync - artifacts in data/research/; 4) CLAUDE.md - no changes
* Add provider v2: diversity training eliminates document leakage
Same diversity-training insight applied to the provider cascade. Adding
3,769 structured negative features to training drops document/receipt
leakage from 69.8% to 5.1%, UI from 10% to 4.3%, fashion from 5-15% to
0-3%. AI recall improves: OpenAI 84% (was 75%), Google 88.8% (was 79%).
Photo leakage 1.4%. Worst regression: memes 47.9% (was 27%).
pre-commit: 1) maintain.sh - exit 1, known lightning advisory; core green (ruff, format, pyright, 1731 tests); 2) /simplify - provider v2; 3) docs sync - artifacts in data/research/; 4) CLAUDE.md - no changes
* Add universal v11: full taxonomy, 136 domains, 124 at zero FP
Master data plan mapped 148 visual domains. Massive collection (3,343
images, 73 domains from Openverse) plus gap-filler (724 images from
Safebooru anime/manga) expanded training to 19,768 images across 136
negative domains. Universal v11 (MLP-512 + Model 1 ensemble):
DEFINITELY 90.3% recall at 0.50% photo FPR, ANY 95.6% recall,
124/134 domains at exactly 0% FP, worst FP 13.8% (digital art).
New domains opened: anime, manga, chibi, mecha, vintage photos,
banknotes, newspapers, magazines, movie posters, antique maps,
watercolor/oil originals, patterns, cosmetics, real estate, 3D
renders, and 60+ more.
pre-commit: 1) maintain.sh - exit 1, known lightning advisory; core green (ruff, format, pyright, 1731 tests); 2) /simplify - docs + research; 3) docs sync - artifacts in data/research/; 4) CLAUDE.md - no changes
* Confirm representation limit: v12 fine-tune destroys structured FP despite 6x data
Fine-tuning CLIP tower on 19,518 images achieves 95.1% standalone recall
but returns to 100% FP on art/UI and 14/59 zero-FP domains (vs 124/134
for frozen v11). This is a representation property, not a data issue.
Frozen CLIP + MLP (v11) is the only working architecture. Also records
provider v3 trained on all negative domains.
pre-commit: 1) maintain.sh - exit 1, known lightning advisory; core green (ruff, format, pyright, 1731 tests); 2) /simplify - docs + research; 3) docs sync - artifacts in data/research/; 4) CLAUDE.md - no changes
* Document v13 plateau: 128/136 zero FP, frozen-CLIP ceiling confirmed
v13 with top-plan expansion (1,169 new images) improves domain coverage
to 128/136 at zero FP and reduces fashion FP to 5.3%, but DEFINITELY
recall plateaus at 89.6% and art FP at 15.9%. The frozen CLIP + MLP
architecture has reached its ceiling.
pre-commit: 1) maintain.sh - exit 1, known lightning advisory; core green (verified minutes ago, 1731 tests); 2) /simplify - docs-only; 3) docs sync - v13 recorded; 4) CLAUDE.md - no changes
* Document the 2026-08-31 photo-classifier freeze.
Record the AI-versus-camera contract, Meta v3 hold-out, Flickr UI
replacement, and that receipts stay out of the supported domain.
* Scrub Spaces catalog details from classifier research docs
* Record receipt layout-gate probe for the universal detector
Ship Model 1 then gated Model 2 as an explicit CLI and library call.

Extract TwoStageZImagePipeline shared base from QwenZImagePipeline so all three
profiles are siblings, not a chain. Add ChromaZImagePipeline on that base with
diffusers ChromaImg2ImgPipeline bf16, neutral calibrated prompt, guidance 5.0,
four effective steps with Diffusers truncation compensation, no Canny.
Flat vendor floors from the 2026-08-29/30 oracle calibration across OpenAI
(0.09), Microsoft InvisMark (0.125), Google (0.40), Meta Content Seal (0.17),
seed-stability verified on Meta, full-path face-stage interaction clean through
the Gemini oracle. Research record in docs/chroma1-engine-research.md with the
matched-strength addendum showing Chroma1 regenerates better per unit strength
but its boundaries scatter wider than qwen's. Fix text-manifest guard to reject
chroma-zimage at the boundary, update all profile references from 'both' to
'all three' across src, docs, README, and python-api.
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.
The shipped profile was certified by one oracle row, but only noise_std was
pinned: long_side and fps -- two thirds of what the verifier was actually shown
-- could move with a green suite. The test now derives the pin from
data/evaluations/video-synthid-oracle.csv, so a default without a certifying row
fails.
The certified profile is a perturbation-to-signal ratio, not a bare noise_std.
sd-vae-ft-mse publishes no scaling_factor key, so 0.18215 comes from the
AutoencoderKL class default under an upper-unbounded diffusers pin. The loader
now gates that value, carries it on VideoVaeRuntime, and passes it into encode
and decode so the validated value is the applied value. video_synthid_sweep.py
loads through the same function: the harness producing the certified rows was
the one path exempt from the gate it exists to feed.
psnr_db is measured against the already-resized frame and before the encoder, so
it cannot see the downscale, the decimation, or the codec, and no in-loop metric
can. scripts/video_fidelity_probe.py scores the delivered file end to end,
streaming the way the engine does and sharing its frame-selection rule rather
than copying it -- a frame-count check cannot catch a rule that reorders frames
without changing how many.
The manifest gains source geometry, vae, track, verbatim verdict and session
fields. The two 2026-07-31 rows keep them empty: they were never recorded and
are not recoverable. Verdicts now have four states, because the verifier's
unclear reading logged as not_detected is the silent regression the manifest
exists to prevent.
docs/video-synthid-quality-research.md records the research behind this: the
noise axis is worth about 2 dB and is nearly exhausted, resolution is the real
prize but is an uncertified destruction axis rather than a free win, and every
proposed autoencoder swap was refuted. First local measurements included.
Verified: engine output is byte-identical before and after the refactor on a
locally built clip, at noise_std 0.00 and 0.15.

Every code-referencing claim in the docs, the README and the rules files was
checked against src/, and each finding was re-derived independently before it
was applied. 35 held, 5 were false positives.
Two of them were code, not text. `InvisibleOptions` promises in its docstring to
mirror `InvisibleEngine`, and two defaults had silently stopped:
`max_resolution=None` reached `_target_size`'s `max_resolution > 0` and raised
`TypeError` on every library call that left the options alone, and
`cpu_offload=True` made a library run slower than the identical CLI run. Both are
fixed, and `TestInvisibleOptionsMirrorTheEngine` compares the two signatures
field by field rather than pinning the two values that happen to be known. A
companion assertion in `TestTargetSize` reads the engine's own declared default,
so a drift on the engine side -- which the mirror check alone would accept,
because both sides would still agree -- fails too.
The user-facing docs: README called `invisible` GPU-optional where it raises
without CUDA, and gave the image `metadata` command `video metadata`'s output
rule, promising the source survives a command that overwrites it. Yuanbao was
missing from the supported-mark list. `veo` was listed among the video policies
that require a run anchor, though its row sets no `anchor_iou`.
`known-limitations` called ControlNet the default profile and contradicted
itself ninety lines below. An unescaped pipe truncated the `hailuo` table row.
The `dev` extra, the CI shape, ffmpeg's role, the sdist boundary and the
strength-curve range were corrected, and `remove_all`/`remove_batch`, the pill
gate, `erase --keep-metadata` and `all`'s CUDA failure mode were documented.
Research notes that described removed modules, extras and flags in the present
tense now say so once in the page banner instead of sentence by sentence, which
covers the whole page rather than the lines that happened to be noticed, and one
fixture is referred to by role rather than by name.

The CLI still advertised --model, --steps, --guidance-scale, --device and a
deprecated --auto. Each pinned a value the two surviving profiles fix -- the
model stack, the per-stage distilled schedule, CFG 1.0, CUDA -- so the only
outcome any of them had was an error raised several frames below the caller,
under a message naming an internal profile. A flag whose sole result is a
refusal is worse than no flag: it advertises a capability that does not exist,
and it lets a wrapper thread a value that will silently do nothing. They are
gone from the parser, from InvisibleEngine, and from WatermarkRemover, so the
failure is now a TypeError or a Click "No such option" at the point the caller
can act on.
The install hint was wrong in the same way. is_available() checked torch and
diffusers, then told the user to install [diffusion] -- which contains neither
DiffSynth nor the Z-Image face stage both profiles run. Following the advice
produced a second, different failure. The module list and the extra name now
live once in watermark_profiles (REMOVAL_MODULES, INVISIBLE_EXTRA) and are read
by both the CLI gate and the remover's precondition, which cannot drift apart
because they are the same tuple.
The adaptive-polish default moved out of the argument parser. It was resolved by
reading Click's parameter source, which put per-profile data in the CLI layer,
left the engine declaring the opposite default (False vs True) so a library
caller and a CLI caller on one profile got different output, and lost the polish
entirely for anything that supplies the flag non-interactively. The flag is now
tri-state (default=None) and resolve_adaptive_polish owns the per-profile
answer. The seed follows the same rule: the CLI stopped pre-resolving it.
Dead code removed with it: six scan_*_video wrappers and the _scan_video helper
none of them had a caller for, PNG_METADATA_KEYS, feather_region_composite and
the remover region path that was only reachable from a no-caller convenience
wrapper, remove_watermark_batch on both layers, try_empty_device_cache, the
_generate/_run_qwen_zimage pass-through pair, self.model_id, and the _internal
PEP 562 shim that no caller ever went through. get_device now answers cuda or
cpu only: mps and xpu travelled one frame to the same CUDA-only refusal while
costing a device probe each, and that refusal now names the resolved device, so
device=None on a CUDA-less host says 'cpu' rather than 'None'. The XPU wheel
index went with them.
Docs: README, cli, installation, python-api, supported-signals,
known-limitations and module-internals all still described the removed profiles,
the CPU/MPS/XPU ladder, a `default`->`sdxl` alias, and the wrong extra.
known-limitations still listed the retired SDXL strength ladder as current.
scripts/smoke_matrix.py and real_examples_e2e.py drove --device mps.
Next release is 0.25.0, not a patch: this removes public parameters and
narrows a published extra on top of the released 0.24.0.
pre-commit: 1) maintain.sh - exit 0 (1091 tests, Pyright 0 errors, no
vulnerabilities); 2) /simplify - 4 agents, 11 findings applied, 2 skipped
(dropping the `device` parameter entirely, which raiw-app pins; folding
diffsynth into the `diffusion` extra, which video-only callers do not need);
3) docs sync - grepped every removed identifier across README, docs/, scripts/,
.claude/; updated 9 docs; 4) CLAUDE.md - added the no-error-only-knobs rule to
.claude/rules/development.md

The min-resolution floor lifted small inputs toward SDXL's ~1024 training size,
and Real-ESRGAN was an optional way to do that lifting. Both surviving profiles
run at native geometry, so the engine forced the floor to 0 on every path; the
floor never fired, `upscaling` was never true, and nothing downstream of it could
execute. Gone: upscaler.py, _esrgan_upscale, the min_resolution and upscaler
parameters, _target_size's floor branch, --min-resolution, --upscaler,
_warn_if_esrgan_unavailable and the `esrgan` extra. max_resolution stays and is
now the only lever on geometry; it can only scale down.
scripts/smoke_matrix.py was the one live consumer and neither gate saw it -
Pyright is scoped to src/ and Ruff cannot resolve its function-local import - so
`--diffusion` would have died at import. Its knob rows were written for the
removed profiles besides (--pipeline sdxl, --steps 20, --guidance-scale 5.0,
--device mps), so they are rewritten rather than patched: most now assert a knob
is REJECTED, which is the coverage worth having when the CLI accepts a value the
library refuses several layers down. Accepted-knob rows skip without CUDA, so the
row count is host-dependent and verification-plan.md no longer claims a fixed 68.
This removes a public module, a CLI option and a published extra, so the next
release is 0.25.0, not a patch.
