test-userandClaude Opus 4.7 f36320ff39 fix(metadata): guard get_ai_metadata PIL open against non-OSError
get_ai_metadata opened the file with PIL unguarded, so a HEIC (or any
format PIL can't open without optional plugins) raised
UnidentifiedImageError instead of falling through to the binary scan --
unlike has_ai_metadata, which already guards. Wrap the open in
except Exception and continue to the C2PA/IPTC path. Regression test
feeds an unopenable .heic shell and asserts no raise.

"""AI metadata detection and removal.
Wraps the noai-watermark metadata handling for stripping AI-generation
metadata (EXIF, PNG text chunks, C2PA provenance) from images.
For metadata-only operations, the heavy ML dependencies are NOT required.

survives, and the pixel watermark itself is not locally detectable
