SD-1.5 dreamshaper at 768 px did not defeat SynthID v2 on Gemini 3 Pro
outputs (verified May 2026 via Gemini app's "Verify with SynthID"). Switch
the default invisible engine to SDXL at 1024 px, matching the raiw-app
production config (strength 0.05, steps 50). Drop the SD-1.5 pipeline.
Metadata layer: add C2PA UUID and IPTC AI marker byte-scan detection
across all formats, plus an ISOBMFF box walker (noai/isobmff.py) that
strips top-level C2PA uuid and JUMBF jumb boxes from AVIF/HEIF/JPEG-XL
containers without re-encoding.
README gets a Legal table and a Threat-model section about SynthID v2's
136-bit payload. CLAUDE.md tracks the SD-1.5 regression as historical
context.

Reverse alpha blending applied at the assumed default position painted
a visible inverse-sparkle artifact onto clean or edited images. The
function now returns an unmodified copy when detection fails, instead
of falling back to the hardcoded Gemini corner. Bump to 0.3.5.

- metadata --check now shows claim_generator, c2pa_spec, digital_source_type,
c2pa_actions, signer instead of empty table for C2PA-only files
- reuses existing extract_c2pa_chunk() from noai/c2pa.py — no more duplicate
PNG chunk parsing or full-file reads
- adds data/samples/openai-images-2/amur-leopard.png: real gpt-image-2 output
with C2PA manifest signed by OpenAI OpCo LLC / Trufo CA (spec 2.2.0)
- removes stale data/samples/nano-banana-1/2.png (no longer referenced)
- updates README: new Images 2.0 row in supported models table
- documents known text-degradation limitation in CLAUDE.md

Condense CLAUDE.md by removing detailed build, test, architecture, release, and pre-commit sections; add a concise 'How to run' example and a brief 'Configuration' heading to surface primary CLI usage and simplify the documentation.
Delete legacy .agents skill docs (get-api-docs, python-code-review) and add configuration and docs for Claude integration. Adds .claude/settings.json to enable WebSearch/WebFetch, register plugins, and run pre/post tool hooks (ruff/pyright auto-checks and auto-fixes). Adds CLAUDE.md with project overview, build/test instructions, architecture, and conventions.
- cli: log metadata strip failures to verbose instead of swallowing
- cli: extract _process_batch_image() from cmd_batch for readability
- cli: reuse module-level SUPPORTED_FORMATS constant in batch command
- metadata: limit C2PA binary scan to first 512KB to prevent OOM
- Remove opencv-python from [gpu] extra (conflicts with headless in base deps)
- Add graceful fallback in 'invisible' and 'all' commands when GPU deps missing
- Cache InvisibleEngine in batch mode (avoid reloading model per image)
- Fix --humanize help text (was '0.0-1.0', actual range is 0-6.0+)
- Fix stale docstring referencing non-existent [invisible] extra
- Add [gpu] extra install instructions to README
- Fix broken NeuralBleach placeholder URL in Credits
Move torch, diffusers, transformers, accelerate, controlnet-aux,
ultralytics, and safetensors into [project.optional-dependencies.gpu].
Core install now only includes lightweight deps (~20 MB vs ~1 GB):
pillow, piexif, numpy, opencv-python-headless, click, rich.
This allows web apps using fal.ai cloud GPU to skip installing
1+ GB of ML packages, reducing Docker images from 3 GB to ~300 MB
and deploy times from 14 minutes to ~3-4 minutes.
Usage:
pip install remove-ai-watermarks # core only (visible + metadata)
pip install remove-ai-watermarks[gpu] # full local GPU support
pip install remove-ai-watermarks[all] # gpu + dev tools
