- **Strict pyright is clean across `src/` (0 errors).** The cv2/torch/diffusers boundary files (`gemini_engine`, `region_eraser`, `doubao_engine`, `face_protector`, `humanizer`, `invisible_engine`, `noai/watermark_remover`, and the whole `noai/ctrlregen/` subpackage) carry a documented per-file `# pyright:` relax pragma (or, for `ctrlregen`, a `tool.pyright.executionEnvironments` entry) that turns off only the unknown-type / untyped-third-party rules — those libs ship no usable types, so strict typing there fights the ecosystem. Pure-logic files stay fully strict; `typings/piexif/__init__.pyi` is a local stub so `metadata.py`/`extractor.py` resolve piexif. Public ndarray-returning signatures on the relaxed engines are still annotated `NDArray[Any]` so strict consumers (`cli.py`) stay clean. When touching a relaxed file, prefer fixing real issues over widening the pragma; keep the pragma scoped to genuinely-untyped boundaries. (`uv-secure` is clean since idna was bumped 3.11 -> 3.16, fixing GHSA-65pc-fj4g-8rjx.)

- To add a dev tool (pytest/ruff/pyright) into the env, use `uv sync --frozen --extra dev --extra gpu`, **never `uv pip install`** — `uv pip install` re-resolves and rewrites `uv.lock`, which silently bumped `transformers` to a build incompatible with the pinned `diffusers` (`cannot import name 'Qwen3VLForConditionalGeneration'`) and broke every `identify`/metadata import. Recovery: `git checkout uv.lock && uv sync --frozen --extra gpu --extra dev`. The `gpu` extra holds `diffusers`/`transformers`/`torch`, so a bare `uv sync` (no extras) removes them and `noai/__init__` (eager pipeline import) then fails. `maintain.sh`'s `uv sync --all-extras` also pulls the heavy `trustmark`/`lama` wheels (pytorch-lightning, onnxruntime) — fine on a good connection, but on flaky DNS sync only `--extra gpu --extra dev` and run the lint/test steps by hand.

Do not reimplement chunk parsing. `extract_c2pa_info(path)` sets `synthid_watermark`/`synthid_vendors` when the manifest is signed by a SynthID-using vendor, and `soft_binding`/`soft_binding_vendors` when a `c2pa.soft-binding` `alg` names a forensic-watermark vendor (`soft_binding_vendors_in(buffer)` is the shared byte-scan, used by both the PNG parser and the non-PNG binary path). PNG/caBX chunk reads are clamped to the remaining file size (`safe_length = min(length, remaining)`; skipped chunks use seek) so a malformed huge `length` cannot drive a multi-GB allocation (shared safety discipline matching `isobmff.scan_c2pa_region`).

- `metadata.py` — `scan_head(path, size=1MB)` is the shared input for every C2PA/AIGC/IPTC byte scan: first `size` bytes plus the payloads of any provenance metadata found beyond that window — for ISOBMFF, the late provenance boxes from `isobmff.scan_c2pa_region` (catches a manifest after a large `mdat`); for **PNG**, the late `tEXt`/`iTXt`/`zTXt`/`eXIf`/`iCCP` chunks from `_png_late_metadata` (catches an XMP/EXIF packet appended after a large `IDAT`, e.g. a TC260 AIGC label at ~2.7 MB). Behavior-neutral (`f.read(size)`) for non-ISOBMFF inputs and for any file that fits within `size`. Use it instead of `open().read(1MB)` for any new marker scan. `synthid_source(path)` returns the vendor name(s) if the C2PA manifest implies a SynthID pixel watermark, else None. Format-agnostic: PNG via the caBX parser, JPEG/WebP/AVIF/HEIF/JXL via a binary scan (C2PA marker + SynthID issuer + AI-source marker). `get_ai_metadata` surfaces the verdict, and `metadata --check` prints it as a callout. Both `get_ai_metadata` and `has_ai_metadata` guard the PIL open with `except Exception` (HEIC/unknown formats raise non-OSError) and fall through to the binary scan. `xai_signature(path)` detects xAI/Grok's EXIF-only scheme (`ImageDescription` = `Signature: <base64>` + UUID `Artist`); it feeds `has_ai_metadata`, `get_ai_metadata` (key `xai_signature`), and `identify`. `iptc_ai_system(path)` detects the IPTC Photo Metadata 2025.1 AI-disclosure XMP properties (`IPTC_AI_FIELD_MARKERS` = `AISystemUsed`/`AISystemVersionUsed`/`AIPromptInformation`/`AIPromptWriterName`) and returns the `AISystemUsed` generator name (or `"fields present"`). `remove_ai_metadata` routes **ISOBMFF video** (`.mp4`/`.mov`/`.m4v`) through the same `isobmff.strip_c2pa_boxes` as AVIF/HEIF (MP4 is ISOBMFF), and `_scrub_ai_exif` removes the xAI signature + AI-generator EXIF tags on JPEG output. `strip_c2pa_boxes` is **fail-safe** on a malformed box: it returns the original bytes unchanged with a logged warning instead of truncating the tail to EOF (detection-only `scan_c2pa_region` still stops at a malformed box). `_png_late_metadata` clamps each late-chunk read to the remaining file size (`safe_length = min(length, remaining)`) so a malformed `length` cannot drive a multi-GB allocation.

The `hf_job`, visible-sparkle, and Samsung `samsung_genai` signals are **medium** confidence: each lifts an otherwise-Unknown verdict to a tentative AI (`hf_only` / `visible_only` / `samsung_only`, parallel branches) but is excluded from the high-confidence `ai_from_metadata` set, so none overrides a hard metadata signal. Visible-sparkle is promoted only at confidence ≥ `_SPARKLE_THRESHOLD` (0.5; corpus-tuned to separate Gemini sparkles ≥0.56 from non-sparkle ≤0.49). The cv2 dependency lives in `gemini_engine.detect_sparkle_confidence`, not here. **C2PA platform attribution is device-token-first, issuer-scan fallback** (`_device_platform` scans manifest bytes for `_DEVICE_C2PA_PLATFORM` tokens, then `_attribute_platform`/`_ISSUER_PLATFORM`). **Why, verified on real signed files 2026-05-26:** the old issuer-only byte-scan matched ANY issuer substring anywhere, so multi-entity manifests mis-attributed -- Leica→"Truepic" (a signing authority in the trust chain), Nikon→"Adobe Firefly" (XMP-toolkit "Adobe" + the sample's "Adobe_MAX" name), Pixel→"Google (Gemini)" ("Google LLC" cert org), Truepic→"Google". A distinctive device token wins instead. **Token distinctiveness is load-bearing:** bare `b"Truepic"` mis-fires (it appears in unrelated trust chains -- it mis-attributed the OpenAI `chatgpt-1.png` fixture), so the token is the specific `b"Truepic_Lens"` from the Lens SDK claim generator; likewise `b"Pixel Camera"` (cert CN) not bare `b"Pixel"`. `_DEVICE_C2PA_PLATFORM` lists ONLY tokens **verified against a real C2PA file**: Leica (`lc_c2pa`/`Leica Camera`), Nikon (`NIKON`), Pixel (`Pixel Camera` -- from a real Pixel 10 Pro file attached to c2pa-rs issue #1609/#1554), Sony (`sony.sig`/`sony.cert` -- Sony's own C2PA assertion namespace, verified on a real Sony PXW-Z300 file; NOT bare "Sony" which is a common EXIF Make), Truepic (`Truepic_Lens`). Canon/Bria have **no public direct-download C2PA sample** (checked exhaustively: GitHub issue/PR attachments, contentcredentials gallery, HF datasets -- all upload-to-verify or token-gated; Canon's only public file was a self-signed hobbyist CR3, not factory), so they stay unmapped until a real file is captured (same fixture discipline as Grok/Doubao). The Sony sample is video (MP4) -- our ISOBMFF C2PA path detects it; Sony Alpha stills likely share the `sony.*` namespace but are not separately verified. **Samsung Galaxy + ASUS Gallery live in a separate `_SIGNER_C2PA_PLATFORM` (scanned after `_device_platform`, before the issuer fallback), NOT in `_DEVICE_C2PA_PLATFORM`** — verified on real signed files 2026-05-29. Reason: a Galaxy phone stamps BOTH its device cert AND a `trainedAlgorithmicMedia`/genAIType AI marker on a Generative-Edit image, so treating it as a "genuine camera capture" would false-fire integrity-clash rule 2 on every Galaxy AI edit. The signer tokens (`b"Samsung Galaxy"` cert org — distinct from the EXIF `SM-xxxx` model string on ordinary Samsung photos; `b"com.asus.gallery"` claim generator) only resolve the platform label; the AI verdict still comes from the source-type / genAIType. ASUS Gallery is a C2PA-signed edit with no AI marker, so it attributes the platform without asserting `is_ai`. **Samsung's `genAIType` (in the proprietary `PhotoEditor_Re_Edit_Data` JSON) is an undocumented Galaxy-AI editing marker** (`metadata.samsung_genai`, gated on the `PhotoEditor_Re_Edit_Data` container; non-zero value = AI tool used, values {1,5} observed): medium-confidence because the field has no public spec (verified 2026-05-29: absent from C2PA spec + Samsung docs), but it co-occurred with `trainedAlgorithmicMedia` in 3/3 verified files that record a source-type and was the SOLE AI marker on a Galaxy S24 file that omits the source type. Camera C2PA marks capture authenticity, not AI (Pixel carries `computationalCapture`, not `trainedAlgorithmicMedia`), so these never set `is_ai` -- that stays driven by digital-source-type. `c2pa.cbor_text_after` (now public) is best-effort for the `generator` detail string only and can be None when the manifest keys it `claim_generator_info` (Pixel). **Issuer→generator mapping iLine truncated

Doubao/Jimeng are normally also caught by the TC260 AIGC metadata label, so the visible path is their stripped-metadata fallback. Visible marks set `platform` only when no harder signal already did, and (like the sparkle) are excluded from integrity-clash vendor claims. The cv2 dependency lives in the engines, not here. **`import identify` is deliberately light** (~21 MB; ~36 MB with cv2 loaded by a visible-mark run, ~106 MB for a full `check_visible` run): it imports only the pure `noai.c2pa`/`noai.constants` submodules, and `noai/__init__` is lazy (see "Test and lint"), so torch/diffusers are NOT pulled at import even in a full `gpu`/`detect` install — fits a 512 MB host. The heavy paths are opt-in: `check_invisible=True` needs the `detect`/`trustmark` extras (each pulls **torch**; TrustMark also **downloads weights**), so on a core-only deploy leave `check_invisible` off (it is a no-op there anyway). Before the lazy `__init__`, the mere presence of torch in the env inflated `import identify` to ~420 MB. **C2PA platform attribution is device-token-first, issuer-scan fallback** (`_device_platform` scans manifest bytes for `_DEVICE_C2PA_PLATFORM` tokens, then `_attribute_platform`/`_ISSUER_PLATFORM`). **Why, verified on real signed files 2026-05-26:** the old issuer-only byte-scan matched ANY issuer substring anywhere, so multi-entity manifests mis-attributed -- Leica→"Truepic" (a signing authority in the trust chain), Nikon→"Adobe Firefly" (XMP-toolkit "Adobe" + the sample's "Adobe_MAX" name), Pixel→"Google (Gemini)" ("Google LLC" cert org), Truepic→"Google".

- `watermark_registry.py` — **single catalog of known visible watermarks**, the unified "find known marks in their usual places, recognize, remove" entry. **Reverse-alpha based by policy**: a mark is listed only once a real alpha map has been captured for it, and removal inverts that map (`original = (wm - a*logo)/(1-a)`) — Gemini recovers cleanly with no inpaint (its sparkle alpha comes from a pure-black capture, so it is near-exact), while **Doubao and Jimeng both add an always-on THIN residual inpaint** over the glyph footprint (their text marks re-rasterize + jitter a few px per image, so a single capture cannot pixel-cancel them; the inpaint blends into the reverse-alpha-recovered pixels). Arbitrary-region inpainting still lives in `region_eraser`/`erase`. Each `KnownMark` ties a key to {usual `location`, `in_auto` flag, `recovery` (="reverse-alpha"), a `detect` adapter → uniform `MarkDetection`, a `remove` adapter}. Entries today: `gemini` (bottom-right sparkle), `doubao` (bottom-right "豆包AI生成"), and `jimeng` (bottom-right "★ 即梦AI"). `detect_marks` scans all; `best_auto_mark` picks the highest-confidence detection. **Cross-engine confidences aren't directly comparable**, so the gemini adapter applies the corpus-validated 0.5 sparkle threshold (`_GEMINI_AUTO_MIN_CONF`) for its `detected` flag — otherwise the gemini engine's loose internal threshold weakly fires (~0.36) on the Doubao text and hijacks `auto`. The shape-keyed Doubao/Jimeng NCC detectors don't cross-fire (jimeng scores ~0.22 on the Doubao strip, well under its 0.45 threshold), so `auto` picks the right one on a Doubao vs Jimeng image. `cli.cmd_visible` is registry-driven: `--mark auto` → `best_auto_mark`, `--mark <key>` → that mark; `--mark` choices come from `mark_keys()`. `_doubao_remove`/`_jimeng_remove` apply reverse-alpha only when the mark is detected AND `reverse_alpha_available`; outside that, removal is **skipped** (not inpainted). Add a new visible mark = one `KnownMark` entry + its engine (with a captured alpha map); do not re-add per-mark `if` branches in the CLI. **Alpha-on-save policy (issue #30):** `cli._write_bgr_with_alpha` rejoins the input's alpha plane **unchanged** — it must NOT zero alpha in the watermark bbox. Reverse-alpha (and `erase` inpaint) recover real pixels there, so zeroing alpha punched a transparent hole that renders as a solid **white box** on any non-transparent viewer (Gemini app exports are opaque RGBA, so every user hit it; regression-guarded by `test_visible_keeps_alpha_opaque_in_watermark_region`). The registry `remove()` still returns its region (used for `inpaint_residual` positioning), but the CLI no longer uses it to clear alpha.

- `gemini_engine.py` — visible Gemini-sparkle remover/detector (cv2/numpy, no GPU). `detect_sparkle_confidence(path)` is the file-level entry point used by `identify.py`. The public entry points normalize a grayscale (2D) or RGBA (4-channel) input to BGR up front so a non-BGR image does not crash the cv2 pipeline. **Removal is reverse-alpha with NO inpaint** (`remove_watermark` → `_reverse_alpha_blend`): the sparkle alpha is computed (`alpha = max(R,G,B)/255`) from the bundled sparkle-on-black captures `assets/gemini_bg_{96,48}.png`, which are PURE-BLACK so the alpha is near-exact — re-verified clean on `demo_banana_before.png` 2026-05-31 (the registry's optional `inpaint_residual` is a no-op on a clean removal; an earlier "Gemini smears" read was a misjudged soft-fur original, not an artifact). **The bg assets are now rebuilt from OUR OWN controlled captures** (`data/gemini_capture/captures/`, committed) by `scripts/visible_alpha_solve.py gemini`, which locates the 96px sparkle on the black capture and crops it to the two logo sizes; our capture matched the previously third-party-sourced `gemini_bg_96.png` to **NCC 0.9998**, validating the asset and making it reproducible. Gemini's multi-size fixed-slot model is genuinely different from the Doubao/Jimeng text-strip engines (so it stays a separate engine, not part of the shared-base refactor).

- `doubao_engine.py` — visible Doubao "豆包AI生成" remover/detector (cv2/numpy, no GPU). `DoubaoEngine.locate` anchors a bottom-right box by **geometry** (mark scales with image WIDTH), `extract_mask` pulls the light, low-chroma glyphs (the detection candidate) using a per-pixel channel-spread proxy `sat = roi.max(axis=2) - roi.min(axis=2)` (no HSV conversion). `detect` is **shape-consistent**: it matches the bundled alpha glyph silhouette (`assets/doubao_alpha.png`) against the candidate via zero-mean normalized correlation (`_template_match_score`, cv2 `TM_CCOEFF_NORMED`), gated at `DETECT_NCC_THRESHOLD` 0.4 over a small `DETECT_MIN_COVERAGE` floor. Keying on glyph SHAPE (not coverage heuristics) fixed #23 (corpus FP 7/1243). **Removal = reverse-alpha + thin residual inpaint** (`remove_watermark_reverse_alpha`): `original = (wm - a*logo)/(1-a)` from the bundled alpha map + `_ALPHA_LOGO_BGR` (pure white) + `_ALPHA_*_FRAC` geometry, then a deliberately THIN inpaint (`_RESIDUAL_*`, `INPAINT_NS`) over the glyph footprint clears leftover edges without smearing. **Alpha is rebuilt by `scripts/visible_alpha_solve.py` (the careful gray-self solve: cubic background fit, mean over channels, full halo, unblurred), same recipe as Jimeng** — the captures are committed in `data/doubao_capture/captures/`. **Removal aligns ALWAYS** (no `_ALPHA_NATIVE_BAND` fast-path): it tries fixed geometry AND `_aligned_alpha_map`'s `TM_CCOEFF_NORMED` scale+position search and keeps the lower-residual one — the mark is re-rasterized and a few px off per image, so fixed geometry alone leaves a visible outline even at 2048. **The locate box (`WM_*`) is generous (0.22 wide, margins 0.004) and reaches close to the corner** — a tight box (the old 0.185 / margin 0.012) let a corner-ward shift fall OUTSIDE the alignment search, so the align missed and a readable outline survived; regression-guarded by `test_recovers_shifted_mark_on_texture` (composes the alpha shifted on a known texture; old box ~29 vs new ~1 mean residual). **Issue #13 follow-up defect (found 2026-05-31): the SHIPPED Doubao removal left a clearly READABLE "豆包AI生成" outline on the real `doubao-1.png` sample, while `detect` returned conf 0.0 (it is fooled by a thin outline) so `test_reverse_alpha_removes_mark` passed and the old "56/56 clean" claim was detector-measured, not visual.** Root cause: bad alpha (under-estimated, max ~0.65) + fixed-no-inpaint + tight box; the careful rebuild + always-align + thin inpaint + wide box takes it from a readable outline to faint texture-level traces (parity with Jimeng — a single capture cannot pixel-cancel a per-image re-rasterized mark). **Lesson: a detector-only removal test is insufficient; assert visual residual (the textured-shift test).** **`extract_mask` guards a degenerate ROI (`bh < 16 or bw < 16` -> empty mask, skips cv2):** the always-align removal scores each placement with a residual `detect(out)`, and on an extremely wide/short image (e.g. 2048x1, `test_wide_short_does_not_raise`) that fed cv2's GaussianBlur a ~1-px-tall ROI and **faulted natively on Windows py3.12 (access violation, non-deterministic — one CI cell went red while a re-run passed)**; the old at-native path never ran `detect` on degenerate sizes. Real images always clear the guard (the `WM_*` box floors are `max(16, …)` height / `max(40, …)` width), so it only short-circuits slivers. `reverse_alpha_available` is just "asset present"; the registry gates removal on `detect`. The shipped third-party `_refs/zhengsuanfa_doubao_alpha_120x20.png` is NOT a usable alpha (verified 2026-05-29). Arbitrary-region inpainting is `region_eraser`/`erase`.
