Subject: [PATCH 01/22] ci(deps): move every codeql-action step to v4.37.9 and
 scorecard-action to v2.4.4

All four github/codeql-action steps (init, autobuild, analyze in codeql.yml,
upload-sarif in scorecard.yml) must run the same release: Dependabot opened
one PR per step (#3, #4, #5, #7), and #7 failed because CodeQL refuses a
mixed-version run. One commit moves them together; scorecard-action follows
#1. SHAs verified against the peeled upstream tags (git ls-remote).

Supersedes #1, #3, #4, #5 and #7.

Pin zipnative ^1.1.0 (the sole runtime dependency, bumped by hand: the
Dependabot group #11 had moved it under a "dev" label and broke the build)
and absorb every 1.1 change:

- core bridge: the 29 new exports re-exported; docs/data/core-exports.json
  is the 106-row ledger (101 + 5 worker) with a third reach grade,
  "bridged", for exports no 1.1.0 command reaches yet (range reader,
  canonicalize, raw copy — each named in ROADMAP "1.2 candidates")
- scripts/sync-engine-data.mjs: re-derives the engine half of
  docs/data/{errors,core-exports}.json from a zipnative checkout and the
  CLI half (cli mapping) from the built CLI; --check for CI
- 12th diagnostic ZIP_TIMESTAMP_CLAMPED (typed satisfies
  Record<ZipDiagnosticCode, ...> so a new engine code fails tsc); the
  CLI's own DOS-range warning is gone (the engine reports it)
- ZipLimits.maxEntryCompressedSize: reported by doctor / schema limits,
  deliberately without a flag (only openZipRange consults it)
- removed compensations: ZLIB_TO_ZIP (every tier raises ZIP_DEFLATE_*),
  the hand-rolled skipped re-derivation in verify --entry and modify
  (verifyEntry().skipped + entryPasses(), the engine's archive rule), the
  Unix-mode encoder (externalAttributesFromUnixMode, still masked to 0o777)
- inspect: determinism measured by analyzeDeterminism(); deterministic
  keeps its 1.0 meaning, plus canonicalExtras / canonicalVersionMadeBy /
  canonicalForm / offenders and --check canonical-form
- create --stream|--stdin-name --zip64: streamed entries past 4 GiB
- --name-encoding <label> (list, inspect, cat, extract, stream): a
  TextDecoder nameDecoder, applied by the engine before sanitising
- --long rows: timestamps (UT / NTFS / DOS) and unixIds (0x7875)
- --timeout <duration>: AbortSignal deadline -> E_LIMIT detail.limit
  "timeout", output removed; --progress: onProgress on stderr (NDJSON
  under --json)
- stream: --codec methods decode through createDecompressor; codecs
  without it are refused before the first byte (--skip-unsupported skips)
- modify: an encrypted survivor's local header is now cross-checked
  (mismatch -> ZIP_CD_LFH_MISMATCH); an unregistered method stays
  E_UNSUPPORTED

dosTimeMode is deliberately not adopted: the CLI's date convention is per
entry (explicit dates store UTC fields, --date now / --mtime the local
wall-clock), which one archive-wide mode cannot express. The 37-archive
veraZIP corpus is byte-identical to the 1.0.0 build.

npm audit: the five vulnerable dev-only packages (brace-expansion,
source-map-js, fast-uri, http-cache-semantics, ip-address) resolved by
npm audit fix; 0 vulnerabilities.

@@ -100,55 +100,83 @@ This document outlines the planned development direction for zipnative-cli. Prio
 Feasibility is called out honestly: some ideas need zipnative to expose a primitive first (the
 CLI stays a thin dispatch layer and never re-implements engine logic).
 
-- **`zipnative-mcp`** — a Model Context Protocol server exposing the same capabilities to AI
-  clients, in its own repository pinning `zipnative ^1.0.0` (the ecosystem pattern); the CLI's
-  `schema manifest` and `docs/data/errors.json` are its contract inputs. Planned upstream.

-  ships no encryption in 1.x by policy — see the engine's
-  [What zipnative will NOT do](https://github.com/Nizoka/zipnative#what-zipnative-will-not-do)
-  (ZipCrypto is broken and will never be written; AES AE-2 may come in a later major behind an
-  injected crypto provider). The CLI can only surface it once a core crypto-provider seam
-  exists; it will never implement decryption itself.
-- **Streamed entries > 4 GiB** (`create --stream` / `--stdin-name` beyond 4 GiB) — **Blocked**
-  on the core's per-entry `zip64` opt-in for `addStream` (designed in zipnative's 0.9 ADR,
-  post-1.0). Today the engine refuses with `ZIP_UNSUPPORTED_ZIP64_STREAMING`; buffered entries
-  are fully Zip64.
-- **Custom-method entries in `stream`** — the engine's forward pump decodes store and deflate
-  only, so `stream --cat` / `--output-dir` on a `--codec` method fails with `E_DATA` after the
-  header (listing and skipping work). Waits on the engine using `codec.decompressStream` or
-  refusing before the first byte (engine issue, human-filed); until then use `cat` /
-  `extract --codec` on the complete file.
+### 1.2 candidates — engine 1.1 capabilities bridged but not yet exposed
+
+zipnative 1.1 added 29 exports; 1.1.0 of the CLI surfaces the ones that complete existing
+commands (see the v1.1.0 section) and bridges the rest so the ledger
+(`docs/data/core-exports.json`, `reach: "bridged"`) stays complete. Each is a command-surface
+decision, not an engine wait:
+
+- **Range reading of large local archives** — `openZipRange` / `ZipRangeReader` over a
+  `ByteRangeSource` built from a local file handle (`rangeSourceFromBytes` is the in-memory
+  form) would let `list` / `inspect` / `cat` / `verify` read an archive larger than
+  `--max-input-size` without loading it, bounded by the engine's `maxEntryCompressedSize`
+  (which then gets its `--max-*` flag). A network source (`--url`) is **not** a candidate:
+  offline, always.
+- **`canonicalize` command / `modify --compact --canonical`** — `canonicalizeZip` /
+  `saveCompact({ canonical })` with `CanonicalizeOptions` / `CanonicalOptions` /
+  `CompactOptions`: the "fix" half of `inspect`'s `canonicalForm` verdict (rewrite an archive
+  from any producer into zipnative's canonical deterministic form, no recompression).
+- **Verbatim entry copy between archives** (a `merge` / `split` command) — `addFromReader` with
+  `AddFromReaderOptions` / `RawEntryReader`, and `addRaw` with `RawEntryMeta` for
+  pre-compressed payloads (`verify: true` by default, so a lying source is refused).
+
+### Ideas feasible now
+
 - **`--explain <ZIP_CODE>`** — print `raisedWhen` / `remedy` / class / CLI mapping for one
   error or diagnostic code from `docs/data/errors.json`, so an agent can resolve a `zipCode`
   without leaving the terminal — fed by the same `ZIP_REMEDY` table that already emits
-  `error.remedy` in the envelope. Feasible now (pure data).
+  `error.remedy` in the envelope (pure data).
 - **`deflate` command** — the twin of `inflate`: raw DEFLATE of a file or stdin through the
   engine's deflate facade with the same tier / determinism vocabulary (`--level`,
-  `--deterministic`). Feasible now.
+  `--deterministic`).
 - **`inspect --diff <b.zip>`** — compare two archives by entry inventory, CRCs, sizes and
-  determinism facts with CI-friendly exit codes (no content diff). Feasible now, read-only.
+  determinism facts (`analyzeDeterminism` on both sides) with CI-friendly exit codes (no
+  content diff), read-only.
 - **`create --from-list <file>`** — one path per line (or NUL-separated) as an input list for
-  very large trees, complementing `--from-manifest`. Feasible now.
-- **`--store-symlinks`** on `create` — write symlink entries (Unix mode `S_IFLNK`, target text
-  as payload) for callers that need them; kept out of 1.0 deliberately because extraction
-  refuses symlink entries by default and the CLI never materialises one — needs a documented
-  posture on both sides first.
-- **Manifest `externalAttributes` (raw u32)** — folded into the `--store-symlinks` decision above: a raw external-attribute word would let a manifest write `S_IFLNK` entries and bypass the deliberate symlink deferral, so it waits for the same documented posture; `mode` (0o7777 permission bits) remains the supported field on both manifests. (audit B-21)
-- **`list --extra` / `stream --extra`** — extra-field hex under `--long` for parity with `inspect --extra` (today ids, names and lengths only). (audit B-39)
-- **Inflate-tier visibility in `doctor`** — needs an engine getter (the 1.0 surface exposes `setInflateImpl` but no `activeInflateTier`); until then `doctor` can only say whether a `--codec` module injected `inflateImpl`, and the paths that bypass it (`createInflator`, the forward pump) stay documented in KB §8. (audit B-42)
-- **User-level config** — `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/zipnative/config.json` (or `~/.zipnativerc.json`) as the last fallback after the upward `.zipnativerc.json` discovery; today only the nearest project file is consulted. (audit A-39)

+- **`list --extra` / `stream --extra`** — extra-field hex under `--long` for parity with
+  `inspect --extra` (today ids, names and lengths only). (audit B-39)
 - **Positional arguments in manifest tasks** — `batch --manifest` tasks carry only a flat flag
   map today; every whitelisted command accepts its inputs as flags (`input`, `entry`, …), so no
   command is excluded, but a `positionals` array would make manifests read like the shell.
-- **Engine API asks (human-filed upstream, HITL)** — four compensations the CLI carries until the engine changes: the node-zlib inflate tier should raise `ZIP_DEFLATE_CORRUPT` / `ZIP_DEFLATE_TRUNCATED` like the pure tier (the CLI maps raw zlib codes in `ziperr.ts`); `verifyEntry()` should report the `skipped` reason `verifyZip()` already knows (the CLI re-derives it in `verify --entry` and `modify`); DOS time should not be encoded from local getters (the CLI passes UTC wall-clock components); the forward pump should refuse a custom-method entry before the first byte. Two further asks, no compensation needed: an `analyzeDeterminism()` getter and a write-side `unixMode` helper, the remaining places where the CLI projects what the engine could expose. Drafts live in `.github/drafts/` (git-ignored, see its README).
-- **Lazy engine require** — `dist/cli.cjs` requires `zipnative` at bundle top level (≈10 ms of the ≈40 ms `--version` start-up over bare Node); moving the require into the first core call (tsup `splitting` or a lazy getter in the bridge) would make `--help` / `--version` / `schema` engine-free. Measured, not yet worth the bundling risk. (audit A-11)
-- **Fuzz / property tests for the CLI-owned parsers** — a seeded generator (or `fast-check` as a devDependency) over `parseArgs`, `compileGlob`, `parseByteSize` / `parseCount`, `parseManifest` and `selectFields`, run in CI; today the suites are example-based only. (audit A-25)
-- **One ecosystem governance schema** — the engine's `.github/ai-governance.json` (`version: 1`, `issue_drafting`, `compliance_report_fields`) and the CLI's (`1.0.0`, `policy`, `compliance_report`) differ in shape; agreeing one schema upstream and generating the CLI constant from it is an ecosystem decision, not a CLI change. (audit A-36)
 - **man pages** — generated from the USAGE strings; deferred (ongoing maintenance cost vs
   `--help` / completions already covering usage).
-- **`scripts/verify-docs.mjs`** — port the engine's docs-verification rules (API-JSON sync,
-  error parity, count consistency) as a script; today `tests/docs/consistency.test.ts` covers
-  the counts, mappings and flag tables inside the test suite.
-- **veraZIP sync automation** — a check that fails when `zipnative/scripts/validate-zip.ts`
-  changes upstream without the vendored copy (and its recorded commit / blob hashes) being
-  re-ported.

+/**
+ * zipnative-cli — engine data sync (the "bump the engine" step).
+ *
+ * `docs/data/errors.json` and `docs/data/core-exports.json` are COPIES of the
+ * engine's own registries (`zipnative/docs/data/errors.json`,
+ * `zipnative/docs/assets/api.json`, neither shipped in the npm tarball)
+ * enriched with CLI-only fields: the `cli` mapping and `raisedBy` per code,
+ * `reach` / `via` per export. This script re-derives the engine half from a
+ * zipnative checkout and keeps the CLI half, so a bump is one command plus a
+ * human review of what is new.
+ *
+ * Usage:
+ *   node scripts/sync-engine-data.mjs [--engine <zipnative checkout>] [--check]
+ *
+ *   --engine  path to a zipnative checkout at the tag the CLI pins
+ *             (default: ../zipnative, the ecosystem's sibling layout)
+ *   --check   compare only; exit 1 when a file would change (CI-friendly)
+ *
+ * A NEW engine code or export cannot be completed mechanically — its CLI
+ * mapping, `raisedBy` commands or `via` touchpoint is a design decision. The
+ * script writes the row with `null` there, names it on stderr and exits 1;
+ * tests/docs/consistency.test.ts fails until a human fills it in.
+ *
+ * Offline: it reads two local directories, runs the built CLI once
+ * (`schema errors`, for the derived "cli" mapping) and writes two local files.
+ *
+ * Exit codes: 0 in sync / written · 1 drift (--check) or rows to complete ·
+ * 2 usage / missing engine checkout.

Subject: [PATCH 03/22] fix(security): presentation-only config, strict
 invocation, finite bounds, symlink-safe writes, terminal-safe text
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Runtime hardening to the level of pkinative-cli (ADRs 0001-0008 under
docs/adr/). Three items narrow what 1.0 accepted; each is a security fix
with its migration in the CHANGELOG:

- config (ADR 0001): .zipnativerc.json is presentation only (format,
  fields, json, pretty, quiet, no-color, progress, strict, long, summary).
  Every other key is E_USAGE naming the file (1.0 refused only codec, so
  a planted file could disable the limits or turn on --overwrite /
  --skip-unsafe / --allow-symlinks); prototype keys refused; regular file
  read through one bounded descriptor; a key applies only where the
  command declares it; the applying file is announced on stderr and
  carried as config { path, applied } in the envelopes
- strict invocation (ADR 0003): prototype-free parser, aliases
  canonicalised, repeated switches refused; assertInvocation() refuses
  undeclared flags, repeated single-value flags and surplus operands
  before any input is read — on argv and for every batch manifest task
  before the first one runs (--constructor no longer crashes E_RUNTIME)
- finite bounds (ADR 0002): none / inf refused on every --max-*,
  --max-input-size and inflate --max-output, with an explicit-value remedy
- reads (ADR 0005): one descriptor; regular files size-checked on it and
  read to that size; pipes / FIFOs / devices byte-counted (/dev/zero is
  E_LIMIT, process substitution still works); directories E_IO
- writes (ADR 0005): lstat refusal (dangling links count) + wx; under
  --overwrite a temp sibling renamed into place, so a planted symlink is
  replaced, never followed; the write layer removes only what it created
  — fixes a 1.0 race where an engine error before the deferred exclusive
  open made cat / inflate / create unlink a pre-existing output
- terminal-safe text (ADR 0004): escapeTerminal() on every text sink
  (reports, progress, diagnostics, errors); JSON exact;
  tests/docs/source-hygiene.test.ts forbids raw control / bidi characters
  in tracked files (diagnostics.ts carried a literal NUL)
- text errors lead with the class and cause: error E_X (ZIP_Y): ...;
  exits after a stdout / stderr write wait for the flush (async pipes on
  macOS / Windows); --json is honoured for refusals raised by the parse
- doctor reads the supported Node range from package.json engines.node
  (kept at >=22: pkinative-cli's patch floor answers a Web Crypto CVE that
  does not apply here)
- samples/config rewritten for the presentation-only contract, with a
  refused planted config demo; run-all.js 74/74

 ## Security Model
 
 zipnative-cli is a thin dispatch layer over the [`zipnative`](https://github.com/Nizoka/zipnative) engine. It introduces zero additional runtime dependencies and **contains no ZIP parsing logic of its own**: every byte of ZIP structure — end-of-central-directory records, central directory, local headers, Zip64, DEFLATE, CRC-32 — is parsed, validated and bounded inside `zipnative`. See the [zipnative security policy](https://github.com/Nizoka/zipnative/blob/main/SECURITY.md) for the engine's threat model and its frozen compatibility promise.

 The CLI exposes 15 commands (run `zipnative --help` or `zipnative schema manifest` for the authoritative list). **No command can open a socket, in any mode** — there is no network opt-in.
 
+### Configuration cannot relax a check
+
+A `.zipnativerc.json` planted in a cloned repository is found by the upward discovery the moment
+someone types `zipnative extract …` inside it. Since 1.1.0 a configuration file is
+**presentation only** (`src/utils/config.ts`, [ADR 0001](docs/adr/0001-configuration-is-presentation-only.md)):
+it may set `format`, `fields`, `json`, `pretty`, `quiet`, `no-color`, `progress`, `strict`,
+`long` and `summary` — how a result is shown, or a stricter run — and nothing else. Every other
+key (`overwrite`, `skip-unsafe`, `skip-unsupported`, `allow-symlinks`, every `--max-*`, input and
+output paths, `name-encoding`, `timeout`, `codec`, …), the prototype names (`__proto__`,
+`constructor`, `prototype`) and a value of the wrong type are `E_USAGE` naming the file; the
+whole file is validated whatever command runs. Only a regular file of at most 1 MiB is read
+(size checked on the open descriptor). A key applies only where the command declares the flag,
+and the file that supplied defaults is announced on stderr and carried as `config: { path,
+applied }` in the `--json` envelopes. `--no-config` skips discovery entirely — the recommended
+posture for unattended runs. Before 1.1.0 every key but `codec` was accepted, so a planted file
+could disable the limits or turn on `--overwrite` / `--skip-unsafe` / `--allow-symlinks`.
+
+### Strict invocation
+
+The parser stores flags in a prototype-free record and refuses `__proto__` / `constructor` /
+`prototype` as names; since 1.1.0 the dispatcher also refuses, before any input is read, a flag
+the command does not declare, a switch given twice, a single-value flag given twice, a flag given
+both bare and with a value, more positionals than the command takes, and an operand together
+with the flag it stands for — all `E_USAGE`, exit 2. A typo such as `--overwite` or
+`--skip-unsafe` on the wrong command is therefore never a silent no-op. Every task of a `batch
+--manifest` gets the same check, for all tasks before the first one runs. A refused value is
+never echoed (it may be a secret typed in the wrong place).
+
+### Terminal-safe text
+
+Entry names, comments and the engine messages that quote them come from whoever produced the
+archive. In **text** mode every such string is printed through `escapeTerminal()`
+(`src/utils/sanitize.ts`): C0 controls other than TAB / LF, DEL, C1 controls and the Unicode
+bidi embedding / override / isolate controls are rendered as visible escapes (`\x1b`,
+`\u202e`), so a hostile name cannot clear the screen, retitle the window, rewrite earlier lines
+of a listing or make `evil\u202etxt.exe` display as `evilexe.txt` (Trojan Source,
+CVE-2021-42574). JSON output keeps the exact text (`JSON.stringify` escapes C0 controls) and
+`--long` keeps the bytes in `rawNameHex`. The repository holds itself to the same rule:
+`tests/docs/source-hygiene.test.ts` fails on any raw control or bidi character in a tracked text
+file.

 - `--strict` only tightens: the first engine diagnostic becomes a hard error before any output byte.
 - Stable `E_*` classes carry a failure class; `error.zipCode` carries the engine's frozen `ZIP_*` cause verbatim; `detail` carries only the structured fields the engine (or the CLI-owned `--max-input-size` bound) defines (`{ limit, configured, observed }`, `{ feature }`, `{ expectedCrc, actualCrc }`).

 ### Extraction sink
 
 The engine's `extractZip` / `extractZipStream` yield `{ path, entry, data | stream() }` with `path` already run through `sanitizeEntryPath()` and the hostile shapes already refused (`rejectTraversal`, `rejectSymlinks`, `onDuplicate: 'error'`, the limits). `extract` and `stream --output-dir` share **one sink** (`src/utils/sink.ts`), hardened in two phases:
 
 1. **Plan (lexical)** — the extraction generator is drained **without decompressing anything**. For every entry the CLI recomputes the destination with `safeJoin(root, path)` (`src/utils/io.ts`), which resolves the absolute target and proves it stays inside the resolved `--output-dir` (a relative-path escape, an absolute result or a `..` segment throws `E_SECURITY`). Existing files are refused unless `--overwrite` (`E_IO`). On case-insensitive filesystems (win32, darwin) two entries whose targets fold to the same path are refused (`ZIP_EXTRACT_DUPLICATE_PATH`) unless `--on-duplicate first|last` resolves it deliberately. Directory entries go through `sanitizeEntryPath()` + `safeJoin` too.
-2. **Write (physical)** — before `mkdir -p` of a target's parent, the nearest **existing** ancestor is `realpath`'d and must lie under the root's `realpath`; after the directory is created it is re-checked the same way. A symbolic link or junction planted inside the destination that points outside is refused with `E_SECURITY` ("Refusing to write through a link that leaves the output directory…") and nothing is created beyond the link. Every file is then opened **exclusively** (`wx`) unless `--overwrite`, so a file that appears between the plan and the write is refused like any pre-existing one — there is no check-then-write window. Each entry streams into its file with backpressure; a CRC / size failure removes the partial file. `--preserve-mode` applies `mode & 0o777` to files only (never setuid, setgid or sticky; POSIX only).

A symbolic link or junction planted inside the destination that points outside is refused with `E_SECURITY` ("Refusing to write through a link that leaves the output directory…") and nothing is created beyond the link. Without `--overwrite` any existing path — a dangling symlink included (`lstat`, which also closes Windows' `CREATE_NEW`-follows-a-dangling-link hole) — is refused and every file is created **exclusively** (`wx`), so a file that appears between the plan and the write is refused like any pre-existing one — there is no check-then-write window. With `--overwrite` the entry is written to an exclusively created temp sibling and `rename()`d over the target, so a symlink planted **at** the target is replaced, never followed (1.0 opened it with `w`, which truncated and wrote through the link). Each entry streams in with backpressure; a CRC / size failure removes only the file the write created — a pre-existing target is never truncated or removed. `--preserve-mode` applies `mode & 0o777` to files only (never setuid, setgid or sticky; POSIX only).
 
 **Residual window.** The only gap left is between the `realpath` check and the exclusive `open`: an attacker who can replace a directory with a link *inside that interval* and who already has write access to the destination could redirect one file. The posture is therefore: **extract into an empty or trusted destination**; the CLI never extracts into a location it did not check, but it cannot lock a directory it does not own.

Writing to stdout (`-` or no `-o`) is unaffected.

 ### Input Validation
 
 - **Argv paths are the user's own filesystem authority.** `zipnative list ../a.zip`, `-o ../out.zip` or `--output-dir ../x` are ordinary shell usage and are accepted; the CLI does not second-guess where the invoking user may read or write. `validatePath()` — the `..` refusal, `E_INPUT` "Path traversal detected" — applies to paths that arrive as **data**: the path flags of `batch --manifest` tasks and the `path` values of `create` / `modify` manifests. Entry **names** are a different matter (see below).
-- **`--max-input-size <size>`** (global; default **4 GiB**; `none` disables it with a one-shot warning) bounds every **buffered** read: stdin is byte-counted and the read aborted, files are `stat`'d before reading — `list`, `inspect`, `verify`, `extract`, `cat`, `modify`, `create --stdin-name`, `inflate --sync`, `govern verify-issue`. Exceeding it is `E_LIMIT` with `detail { limit: "maxInputSize", configured, observed }` (CWE-400). It is a CLI-owned bound, not a `ZipLimits` key; `doctor` reports it under `limits`. The streaming paths — `stream`, `crc32`, `inflate` (default), `create --stream` — are constant-memory and are not bounded by it. Random-access commands hold the whole archive in memory, so the bound is also the memory envelope.
-- JSON input size is capped at **50 MB** before `JSON.parse` — `create --from-manifest`, `modify --from-manifest`, `batch --manifest`, `govern verify-issue` drafts. Batch manifests are additionally bounded to **1 000 tasks**. `.zipnativerc.json` is capped at 1 MB.
+- **`--max-input-size <size>`** (global; default **4 GiB**; always finite) bounds every **buffered** read through **one descriptor**: stdin is byte-counted and the read aborted; a regular file is size-checked on its open descriptor and read to that size only (a file that grows after the check is never read past it; short reads loop); a pipe, FIFO or device (`<(curl …)`, `/dev/zero`) is byte-counted like stdin — 1.0 `stat`'d the path, saw size 0 for `/dev/zero` and read it whole — `list`, `inspect`, `verify`, `extract`, `cat`, `modify`, `create --stdin-name`, `inflate --sync`, `govern verify-issue`.

+- JSON input size is capped at **50 MB** before `JSON.parse` — `create --from-manifest`, `modify --from-manifest`, `batch --manifest`, `govern verify-issue` drafts. Batch manifests are additionally bounded to **1 000 tasks**. `.zipnativerc.json` is capped at 1 MiB (checked on the open descriptor).
 - **Manifest values** — `batch --manifest` is validated strictly before anything executes: structural violations exit 2 / `E_USAGE`, value violations (bad or duplicate id, non-whitelisted command, forward or unknown `@ref`) exit 1 / `E_INPUT`; only 10 archive commands may appear (never `batch`, `govern`, `schema`, `completion`, `doctor`); a `codec` flag is refused unless the `batch` invocation itself carries `--allow-codec-load`. A manifest has the filesystem access of the user who invokes `batch` — the same trust level as flags typed on the command line, no more.
-- **`--max-*` semantics** — the eight flags map one-to-one onto the engine's `ZipLimits` and are pre-validated (`E_USAGE` on malformed or zero values), so an invalid limits object can never reach the engine. `none` disables a bound (`Infinity`) and prints a one-shot warning; the defaults are always on when no flag is given. `inflate` derives its mandatory `--max-output` default from the effective `--max-entry-size`. The bounds also apply on the write side (`create` / `modify`).
+- **`--max-*` semantics** — the eight flags map one-to-one onto the engine's `ZipLimits` and are pre-validated (`E_USAGE` on malformed or zero values), so an invalid limits object can never reach the engine. **Every bound is finite**: the 1.0 `none` / `inf` form (`Infinity`) is refused since 1.1.0 with a remedy naming an explicit value ([ADR 0002](docs/adr/0002-every-bound-is-finite.md)), and no bound can come from a config file; the defaults are always on when no flag is given. zipnative 1.1's ninth bound, `maxEntryCompressedSize` (CWE-770), is consulted only by the byte-range reader, which no 1.1.0 command uses: `doctor` / `schema limits` report its default and it has no flag. `inflate` derives its mandatory `--max-output` default from the effective `--max-entry-size`. The bounds also apply on the write side (`create` / `modify`).
 - Every entry name the CLI **writes** (`create` inputs, `--stdin-name`, manifests, `modify --add` / `--rename` / `--add-dir`) is pre-checked with the engine's `sanitizeEntryPath()`: a name that could not be extracted safely is refused at creation time (`E_INPUT`, with `entryName`). Malformed flags stay `E_USAGE`; unsafe **data** is `E_INPUT`.
-- Dates are data too: `--date <ISO>` and manifest `date` values are read as **UTC wall-clock**, so the stored DOS fields — and the archive bytes — do not depend on the host time zone.
+- Dates are data too: `--date <ISO>` and manifest `date` values are read as **UTC wall-clock**, so the stored DOS fields — and the archive bytes — do not depend on the host time zone. A date outside 1980–2107 is clamped by the engine and reported (`ZIP_TIMESTAMP_CLAMPED`, zipnative 1.1), an error under `--strict`.
+- `--name-encoding <label>` hands the engine a `TextDecoder` (the runtime's own, no table shipped) for names without the UTF-8 flag; the engine decodes **before** `sanitizeEntryPath()`, so a decoded name passes exactly the same guards (zipnative 1.1, CWE-22).
 - `list` / `inspect` JSON output is derived from the engine's typed entry objects; raw payload bytes are never emitted except by `cat` / `stream --cat` / `inflate`, whose purpose is exactly that. Raw name and comment bytes are exposed only as hex (`rawNameHex`, `commentHex` under `--long`; `archive.commentHex`) and extra-field payloads only as hex under `inspect --extra`.

Encrypted entries and entries whose registered codec has no `decompressSync` cannot be verified: they are copied as-is and counted in `verifySkipped`; an entry with an unregistered method is refused (`E_UNSUPPORTED`, load `--codec`). The check runs under `--dry-run` too and has **no opt-out** — an opt-out would write unverified bytes.

 ### Forward reader trust caveat (`stream`)
 
-`stream` reads local headers **alone** through `iterateZipEntries` — there is no central directory to cross-check names, sizes, methods or attributes, so a hostile archive can present different content there than `list` / `extract` authoritatively report. Consequently `--preserve-mode`, `--allow-symlinks` and `--skip-symlinks` are refused in forward mode (`E_USAGE`), every JSON output carries `trust: "local-headers-only"`, a `warning:` line is printed at start, and every name written to disk goes through `sanitizeEntryPath()` + `safeJoin`. All size limits are enforced by output counting and CRCs are verified. Entries written with data descriptors carry zero sizes in their local header, so `--summary` reports `descriptorEntries` and `bytesKnown: false` rather than pretending. Custom-method entries can be listed and skipped but not decoded in forward mode (the engine's pump knows store and deflate): `--cat` / `--output-dir` on such an entry fail with `E_DATA` `ZIP_DECOMPRESSION_FAILED`, which `--skip-unsupported` does not cover — use `cat` / `extract --codec` on the complete file. Use `stream` only for input you cannot seek; prefer `list` / `extract` on a complete file.

+# The configuration file is presentation only
+
+## Context and Problem Statement
+
+`.zipnativerc.json` is found by walking up from the working directory, so a user who runs
+`zipnative extract …` inside a cloned repository reads a file somebody else wrote. Up to 1.0.0
+the loader refused a deny-list of one key (`codec`, because it executes user code) and accepted
+every other flag. A planted file could therefore:
+
+- disable or widen every bound (`"max-entries": "none"`, `"max-ratio": "none"`,
+  `"max-input-size": "none"`) — the zip-bomb defences of the engine and the CLI;
+- turn on `overwrite`, `skip-unsafe`, `skip-unsupported` or `allow-symlinks` for `extract`;
+- replace the input or the output the user named (`input`, `output`, `output-dir`);
+- do all of it silently: nothing said which file had supplied defaults.
+
+A deny-list fails open: every flag added later is accepted until somebody remembers to list it.
+pkinative-cli reached the same conclusion in its 1.0.0 audit (its ADR 0007); this decision
+aligns zipnative-cli with it.
+
+## Decision Outcome
+
+- **An allow-list, `CONFIG_KEYS`** (`src/utils/config.ts`): `json`, `pretty`, `quiet`,
+  `no-color`, `progress`, `strict`, `long`, `summary`, `format`, `fields` — how a result is
+  shown, plus `strict`, which only tightens a run.
+  - Any other key, at the top level or in a command section, is `E_USAGE` (exit 2) naming the
+    file, with a remedy (`pass --<key> on the command line, or run with --no-config`). This
+    includes every flag added after this decision. The whole file is validated, whatever the
+    command, so a file is either entirely valid or refused.
+  - `__proto__`, `constructor` and `prototype` are refused; a value of the wrong type (a switch
+    takes `true` / `false`, `format` / `fields` a string) is refused, never dropped.
+- **Defaults apply only where they mean something.** A key is applied only when the invoked
+  command declares the flag (`knownFlags()` from the `COMMANDS` table); elsewhere it is ignored.
+- **Visibility.** When a file supplied a default, text mode prints `info: defaults from <path>:
+  <keys>` on stderr (unless `--quiet`) and the `--json` envelopes — success and failure — carry
+  `config: { path, applied }`.
+- **Bounded read.** Only a regular file is read, through one descriptor whose size is checked
+  against 1 MiB before the read.
+
+### Consequences
+
+- Good: no file in a working directory can change what a command reads, what it trusts, which
+  bounds protect it, where it writes or which code it runs. New flags inherit the boundary.
+- Neutral: a file may still choose how a result is shown, and `strict` / `progress` only add
+  checks or stderr lines. The envelope names the file that did so.
+- Bad: a 1.0 configuration that set operational defaults (`"create": { "deterministic": true,
+  "level": 9 }`, `"extract": { "overwrite": true }`, a `--max-*` bound) is refused by 1.1.0. The
+  migration is to move those flags to the script that invokes the CLI, where they are visible in
+  review. This narrows the public surface in a minor release; it is recorded as a security fix
+  in the CHANGELOG.

+## Context and Problem Statement
+
+1.0.0 accepted `none` / `inf` / `infinity` on every `--max-*` flag, on `--max-input-size` and on
+`inflate --max-output`, mapping it to `Infinity` with a one-shot `warning:` line (suppressed by
+`--quiet`). An unbounded limit is never what an untrusted archive deserves, the warning
+disappeared exactly in the unattended runs where it mattered, and — until ADR 0001 — the value
+could come from a planted configuration file. pkinative-cli has never accepted an unbounded
+form; the engine's own `ZipLimits` treat `Infinity` as a caller decision the CLI should not make
+on a user's behalf by a single word.
+
+## Decision Outcome
+
+- Every size and count parsed by `src/utils/sizes.ts` is a positive, finite, exactly
+  representable integer. `none`, `inf` and `infinity` are refused with `E_USAGE` and a remedy
+  naming an explicit value (`--max-entries 10000000`, `--max-total-size 64g`).
+- The "disabled bound" warning is gone with the form it warned about; `doctor` and
+  `schema limits` always report numbers.
+- Raising a bound for trusted input stays one explicit flag away, with a number that is visible
+  in the script and in review.
+
+### Consequences
+
+- Good: no command runs without every bound in force; a reviewer reads the actual ceiling.
+- Bad: a script that passed `--max-ratio none` fails with exit 2 on 1.1.0 and must pass a number.
+  Recorded as a security fix with its migration in the CHANGELOG.

+# Strict invocation: undeclared, repeated or surplus input is a usage error
+
+## Context and Problem Statement
+
+1.0.0's parser collected any `--flag` as-is and the commands read the names they knew, so:
+
+- a typo was a silent no-op — `extract --overwite`, `extract --skip-unsfe`, a `--max-entrys`
+  bound that never applied;
+- `--constructor x` reached a plain object and crashed with `E_RUNTIME`;
+- `--long --long` and `--input a --input b` on a single-input command were merged or silently
+  reduced to one value;
+- an extra positional (`list a.zip b.zip`) was ignored;
+- a one-letter alias meant something only where a command happened to read it (`batch -f` and
+  `inspect -e` were ignored).
+
+For an agent-first CLI an ignored argument is the worst outcome: the run "succeeds" with a
+policy the caller did not ask for. pkinative-cli refuses all of these (its audit A2-11).
+
+## Decision Outcome
+
+- The parser (`src/utils/args.ts`) stores flags in a prototype-free record, refuses empty and
+  prototype names, canonicalises the aliases (`-i`, `-o`, `-d`, `-e`, `-f`, `-h`, `-q`, `-V`) to
+  their long name, and refuses a switch given twice or a flag given both bare and with a value.
+- The dispatcher (`assertInvocation()` in `src/commands/completion.ts`) refuses, before any input
+  is read: a flag the command does not declare in `COMMANDS` (or the global table), a value flag
+  given twice unless declared repeatable (`REPEATABLE_FLAGS`), more positionals than the command
+  takes, and an operand together with the flag it stands for (`OPERANDS`). All `E_USAGE`, exit 2.
+- Every task of a `batch --manifest` goes through the same check — aliases canonicalised,
+  prototype keys refused — for all tasks before the first one runs.
+- Refusal messages never echo a value: a stray token may be a secret typed in the wrong place.
+
+### Consequences
+
+- Good: an invocation either means exactly what it says or does not run; the `COMMANDS` table
+  stays the single source of truth for the surface (completions, `schema manifest`, docs tests,
+  and now the parser).
+- Bad: a script that relied on an ignored flag or positional fails with exit 2 on 1.1.0 —
+  which is the point. Recorded as a security fix with its migration in the CHANGELOG.

+# Text output is terminal-safe; JSON is exact
+
+## Context and Problem Statement
+
+Entry names, entry and archive comments, and the engine messages that quote them are bytes from
+whoever produced the archive. 1.0.0 printed them raw in every text output — the `list` table,
+`inspect` / `verify` reports, `warning:` / `info:` lines, error messages. A name carrying
+`ESC [2J` clears the screen, `ESC [1A` rewrites the previous line (a listing that hides an
+entry), `ESC ] 0 ; … BEL` retitles the window, and the Unicode bidi controls make
+`evil<U+202E>txt.exe` display as `evilexe.txt` (Trojan Source, CVE-2021-42574). Neither the
+engine nor pkinative-cli escapes them; zipnative-cli is the more exposed of the two because its
+names come straight from the attacker.
+
+## Decision Outcome
+
+- `escapeTerminal()` (`src/utils/sanitize.ts`) replaces every C0 control except TAB / LF, DEL,
+  every C1 control (U+0080–U+009F, honoured as 8-bit escapes by some terminals) and the bidi
+  embedding / override / isolate controls (U+061C, U+200E/F, U+202A–E, U+2066–9) with a visible
+  escape (`\x1b`, `\u202e`).
+- It is applied at the text sinks: the commands' text reports on stdout, `progress()` lines,
+  text diagnostics (`formatDiagnosticLine`), and text-mode error messages.
+- JSON is not escaped: `JSON.stringify` already escapes C0 controls, agents need the exact text,
+  and `--long` carries the bytes in `rawNameHex`. Entry DATA (`cat`, `stream --cat`, `inflate`)
+  is never touched.
+- The repository holds its own sources to the rule: `tests/docs/source-hygiene.test.ts` fails on
+  a raw NUL, C0 / C1 or bidi control in any tracked text file.
+
+### Consequences
+
+- Good: no archive can drive the terminal of the person reading a report.
+- Neutral: a name with a control character reads with its escape in text mode, exactly as `ls -b`
+  would show it; the JSON row is the machine form.

+# Bounded reads through one descriptor; overwrites by temp file and rename
+
+## Context and Problem Statement
+
+1.0.0 had three filesystem weaknesses that pkinative-cli's audits had already closed:
+
+1. **Check-then-read.** A buffered read `stat`'d the path, compared the size with
+   `--max-input-size`, then `readFile`'d it. `/dev/zero` (or any device or FIFO) reports size 0,
+   passed the check and was read until memory ran out; a file growing after the check was read in
+   full.
+2. **Overwrite followed links.** `--overwrite` opened the target with `w`: a symlink planted at
+   the output path (including a file-level link inside an extraction destination — the sink's
+   realpath checks cover parent directories) was followed and its target truncated.
+3. **Cleanup removed what it had not created.** `cat`, `inflate` and `create` unlinked the
+   output path after any non-I/O error. The exclusive (`wx`) stream open is deferred, so an
+   engine error raised before it (an unsupported method on the first pull) made the CLI delete a
+   **pre-existing** file it had been told not to overwrite. `existsSync`-style checks also missed a
+   dangling symlink, which Windows' `CREATE_NEW` follows.
+
+## Decision Outcome
+
+- `readFileOrStdin()` opens the path once. A regular file is size-checked on the descriptor and
+  read to that size only, looping over short reads; anything else (pipe, FIFO, device, socket) is
+  read from the same descriptor and byte-counted like stdin, stopping with `E_LIMIT` past the
+  bound. Process substitution (`<(curl …)`) keeps working; a directory is `E_IO`.
+- Without `--overwrite`, a write refuses any existing path (`lstat`, so a dangling link counts)
+  and creates the file exclusively (`wx`).
+- With `--overwrite`, the bytes go to an exclusively created, unpredictable temp sibling
+  (`.<name>.<12 hex>.tmp`) that is `rename()`d over the target once complete: a reader never sees

+# `--timeout` is a bound (`E_LIMIT`); `--progress` is stderr data
+
+## Context and Problem Statement
+
+zipnative 1.1 accepts an `AbortSignal` (`signal`) and an `onProgress` handler on every
+asynchronous path. An agent driving the CLI wants a wall-clock bound and observable progress;
+neither may change what stdout carries, and the error vocabulary (13 stable `E_*` classes) should
+not grow for a condition that already has a class.
+
+## Decision Outcome
+
+- `--timeout <duration>` (`500`, `500ms`, `30s`, `5m`, `1h`; at most 2³¹−1 ms) arms one
+  process-wide `AbortController` (`src/utils/control.ts`) whose abort reason IS the CLI error:
+  `E_LIMIT`, exit 1, `detail { limit: "timeout", configured, observed }` (milliseconds), remedy
+  `--timeout <duration>`. The engine rejects with that reason and `mapZipError` passes it through.
+- The engine checks the signal before the first byte and between chunks and entries; the CLI's
+  own byte loops call `checkAborted()`. A synchronous step already running (opening or verifying
+  a buffered archive) always completes — JavaScript cannot pre-empt it — so the deadline bounds
+  progress; it is not a kill. The file being written is removed like any failed write.
+- `--progress` forwards the engine's snapshots to stderr: one throttled text line per update, or
+  one NDJSON `{ "type": "progress", … }` object under `--json`. It is reported only where the
+  engine measures progress (the chunked writer, the streaming extractor, the forward reader,
+  `readEntryStream`); `--quiet` silences it. Opt-in, so a `--json` caller that did not ask for it
+  still reads exactly one envelope.
+- No new `E_*` class.
+
+### Consequences
+
+- Good: agents get a deadline and progress without a new error class or a second output channel.
+- Neutral: the deadline is cooperative; a huge buffered archive still finishes its synchronous
+  open before the next check.

+# No flag without an effect: `maxEntryCompressedSize` is reported, not flagged
+
+## Context and Problem Statement
+
+zipnative 1.1 adds a ninth `ZipLimits` key, `maxEntryCompressedSize` (1 GiB + 1 MiB, CWE-770).
+The engine consults it only in the byte-range reader (`openZipRange`), which bounds how much one
+entry may fetch from a range source. No zipnative-cli 1.1.0 command reads through the range
+reader: every random-access command holds the archive in memory, bounded by `--max-input-size`.
+The CLI's eight `--max-*` flags map one-to-one onto `ZipLimits`, so symmetry suggests a ninth.
+
+## Decision Outcome
+
+- No `--max-entry-compressed-size` flag in 1.1.0. A flag that is accepted and changes nothing is
+  a report that lies — the CLI's own rule ("reported truthfully") applies to its flags too.
+- The bound is still visible: `ENGINE_ONLY_LIMITS` in `src/utils/limits.ts` feeds `doctor`
+  (`limits.data.maxEntryCompressedSize`) and `schema limits` (with its default and the reason it
+  has no flag), and the knowledge base §8 records it.
+- When a command starts reading through the range reader (ROADMAP "1.2 candidates"), the flag
+  arrives with it.
+
+### Consequences
+
+- Good: every flag the CLI accepts does something; the engine's full limit vocabulary is still
+  inspectable.
+- Neutral: `LIMIT_FLAGS` (8) and `LIMIT_KEYS` (9) differ by design; the tests pin both.

+# DOS dates: a per-entry convention, so the engine's `dosTimeMode` is not adopted
+
+## Context and Problem Statement
+
+A DOS timestamp is wall-clock fields without a zone. zipnative 1.0 encoded a `Date` through its
+local getters, so 1.0.0 of the CLI, to make a pinned build hash the same on every host, rebuilt
+each explicit date (`--date <ISO>`, a manifest `date`) as a local `Date` carrying the instant's
+UTC fields. It filed the ask upstream; zipnative 1.1 answered with `dosTimeMode: 'local' |
+'utc'` (issue #9), one mode per call — per archive on the writer, per open on the reader.
+
+Adopting `dosTimeMode: 'utc'` looked like retiring the compensation. Measured against the CLI's
+contract, it is not equivalent:
+
+- The CLI's convention is **per entry**. Explicit dates store UTC fields (reproducible across
+  hosts); host-derived times — `--date now`, `--mtime` — store the **local** wall-clock, like every
+  other archiver, so `extract --preserve-mtime` restores them on the same host. One archive can
+  hold both (a manifest with ISO dates and `"now"`, `--date <ISO>` with `--mtime` files).
+- `'utc'` on the writer would change the bytes `--mtime` and `--date now` write today.
+- `'utc'` on the reader would shift `lastModified` (JSON) and `--preserve-mtime` by the host's
+  offset for every archive written in local time by other tools (Python's `zipfile`, Java,
+  Windows Explorer write local time without a UT extra).
+
+## Decision Outcome
+
+- The CLI keeps the engine default `'local'` and its own ISO → UTC-fields normalisation
+  (`parseIsoDateUtc` in `src/utils/zipops.ts`). The 37-archive veraZIP corpus is byte-identical to
+  the 1.0.0 build.
+- What 1.1 does replace: the CLI's own "outside the DOS range" warning. The engine now clamps an
+  out-of-range date to the DOS epoch / maximum and reports `ZIP_TIMESTAMP_CLAMPED` through the
+  diagnostic sink (an error under `--strict`), for explicit dates and `--mtime` alike.
+- `DosTimeMode` is bridged and graded `type` in the export ledger, with this reason.
+
+### Consequences
+
+- Good: no archive the CLI writes changes bytes, and no timestamp it reads shifts, in a minor
+  release.
+- Neutral: the engine ask is answered and recorded as not adoptable for this convention; a future
+  major could move every surface to UTC at once, deliberately.

+(`tests/docs/consistency.test.ts` checks the front matter and this index). A decision is amended

Subject: [PATCH 04/22] ci(supply-chain): four-job release, one gate, hardened
 workflows, rulesets as code
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Supply chain and CI to the level of pkinative-cli and zipnative 1.1
(docs/adr/0009-release-integrity.md):

- scripts/gate.mjs: the single definition of green (--fast / --ci /
  --publish, --require-all, logs in test-output/.gate/), run by ci.yml,
  node-current.yml, sample-regression.yml and publish.yml instead of
  hand-copied steps; plain ESM with @ts-check (no tsx), typed by the new
  tsconfig.scripts.json
- publish.yml: guard -> build -> publish -> attest. The tag must equal
  v<version>; build holds no id-token and no cache and runs the publish
  gate; publish runs behind the npm-publish environment with .nvmrc only,
  re-checks both digests and publishes the handed-on tarball with an npm
  client pinned by SHA-512; attest fetches it back from the registry,
  runs npm audit signatures, writes CycloneDX + SPDX + toolchain SBOMs
  (npm sbom — @cyclonedx/cyclonedx-npm dropped) and attests them
- every job: harden-runner first (block with an allow-list, or audit
  with a dated reason), npm ci --ignore-scripts, read-only top-level
  permissions, persist-credentials: false, one SHA per action (verified
  against the peeled upstream tags); no path filter anywhere; verazip.yml
  no longer interpolates step outputs into run: scripts
- codeql.yml: actions + javascript-typescript, build-mode none,
  security-extended, job-level permissions
- new: audit.yml (weekly npm audit + OSV-Scanner), dependency-review.yml
  (high severity, licence allow-list), node-current.yml (Node 26,
  advisory), sample-regression.yml (run-all.js on Linux + Windows), and a
  workflow-lint job (zizmor, checksum-verified actionlint, reuse lint)
- .github/rulesets/{main,tags}.json, CODEOWNERS widened to the trust
  boundary, SECURITY-INSIGHTS.yml (OpenSSF 2.0), docs/.well-known/
  security.txt (RFC 9116), REUSE.toml + LICENSES/MIT.txt
- dependabot: seven-day cooldown, actions grouped (the four codeql-action
  steps move together), zipnative excluded from the dev group, @types/node
  majors ignored (engines floor 22)
- package: tracked .npmrc (ignore-scripts, engine-strict), .node-version,
  packageManager, exact overrides, @eslint/js declared, no main entry; the
  tarball is 10 files (+ CHANGELOG, SECURITY, THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES) pinned
  by docs/data/package-files.json; bundle-probe (engine external, no
  inlined engine code, no console.log, no attribution trailer) and an
  install smoke test of the packed tarball
- tests/tools/workflows.test.ts pins the workflow invariants;
  tests/scripts/release-tools.test.ts the gate and its checks; opt-in git
  hooks (.githooks/, npm run hooks:install)
- ai-governance.json 1.1.0: ai_attribution_trailers_allowed: false,
  configuration_relaxes_checks: false

+# The maintainer publishes the GitHub Release `vX.Y.Z` (which creates the tag)

 # Trusted Publishing (npmjs.com OIDC):
-#   This workflow uses npm Trusted Publishing — no long-lived NPM_TOKEN secret.
-#   The OIDC id-token permission mints a short-lived token that:
-#     1. Authorises the `npm publish` HTTP request
-#     2. Signs the provenance attestation (SLSA Level 2+ via Sigstore)
-#   Configure at npmjs.com → package settings → "Configure Trusted Publishing".
-# Least privilege at the top level; the publish job alone requests
-# `id-token: write` (OIDC) and `contents: write` (release asset upload).
+#   No long-lived NPM_TOKEN secret. The OIDC id-token permission mints a
+#   short-lived token that authorises the upload and signs npm's provenance
+#   statement (SLSA Build L2). Configure at npmjs.com → zipnative-cli →
+#   settings → "Trusted Publishing", bound to this repository, this file AND
+#   the `npm-publish` environment (a protected environment with a required
+#   reviewer — CONTRIBUTING.md §Release).
+#
+# Job graph: guard → build → publish → attest.
+#   guard    reads package.json; no token, no environment, nothing installed,
+#            so a refusal ends the run BEFORE any approval is asked.
+#   build    runs the whole publish gate over the dev toolchain, packs the
+#            tarball and hands it on with its digests. It holds no id-token:
+#            dev-dependency code never runs where a publishing token can be
+#            minted.
+#   publish  behind the `npm-publish` environment; the only job that can
+#            mint the npm token. It checks out .nvmrc and nothing else,
+#            installs nothing from the lockfile and runs no repository script:
+#            it verifies the handed-on tarball against the build job's
+#            digests and uploads exactly it.
+#   attest   fetches the published tarball back from the registry, checks it
+#            against the same digests and the registry signatures, writes the
+#            SBOMs, attests them and attaches them to the release. Its
+#            id-token signs that attestation (Sigstore) outside the
+#            `npm-publish` environment, so it cannot publish.
+#
+# No job restores a dependency cache: a cache is written by other workflows,
+# and a release job must not build from what they left behind
+# (package-manager-cache: false on every setup-node step —
+# tests/tools/workflows.test.ts holds it).

-| `ci.yml` | `windows (22)`, `windows (24)` | windows-latest, Node 22 / 24 | typecheck, lint, tests, build, dist shape, smoke, spawn suite — **blocking**: a ZIP CLI lives or dies on `\` separators, reserved device names, the case-insensitive filesystem and CRLF checkouts; any `skip on win32` needs a stated reason |
-| `ci.yml` | `macos` | macos-latest, Node 22 | tests, build, spawn suite — the second case-insensitive filesystem the sink handles (`CASE_INSENSITIVE_FS` covers win32 and darwin) |
-| `ci.yml` (every job) | reproducible build, start-up budget | — | `dist/cli.cjs` is built twice and the SHA-256 must match; `tests/integration/startup-budget.test.ts` pins the bundle shape (the worker is reachable only through the lazy `import()`; the engine is the single hoisted external) and keeps the start-up overhead over bare Node under 250 ms |

+required at high-or-higher; squash merges only; resolved review threads; no deletion, no
+force-push) and `.github/rulesets/tags.json` (`v*` tags can be neither deleted, moved nor
+updated). The maintainer imports both (repository → Settings → Rules → Rulesets → Import);
+`tests/tools/workflows.test.ts` holds every required context to a job that reports it.
+Dependabot keeps the pins current after a seven-day cooldown, with the actions grouped (so the
+four codeql-action steps move together) and the engine excluded from the dev group (it bumps
+alone — see [Bumping the engine](#bumping-the-engine)). Alongside the ruleset the maintainers enable **secret scanning with push
 protection** and Dependabot alerts (repository → Security → Code security); no npm token exists
 anywhere — publishing is OIDC-only.
 
+## Release
+
+The maintainer releases; an agent prepares (see AGENT_RULES.md). One-time setup on GitHub and
+npm, before the first publish of a line:
+
+1. **Environment** — repository → Settings → Environments → `npm-publish` with a required
+   reviewer (the maintainer). The `publish to npm` job cannot mint a token before that approval.
+2. **Trusted Publishing** — npmjs.com → `zipnative-cli` → Settings → Trusted Publishing:
+   repository `Nizoka/zipnative-cli`, workflow `publish.yml`, environment `npm-publish`.
+   No `NPM_TOKEN` exists anywhere.
+3. **Rulesets** — import `.github/rulesets/main.json` and `tags.json`.
+
+Every release:
+
+1. On a release branch: bump `package.json` (and `CITATION.cff`), move `[Unreleased]` in
+   `CHANGELOG.md` under the version and date, write `release-notes/vX.Y.Z.md`, run
+   `node scripts/gate.mjs --publish --require-all` locally, open the PR, merge it once every
+   required check is green.
+2. Publish the GitHub Release `vX.Y.Z` (which creates the tag) from `main`. `publish.yml`
+   runs `guard` (the tag must equal `v<package.json version>`), `build and pack` (the whole
+   publish gate, one tarball, its SHA-256 / SHA-512), waits for the `npm-publish` approval,
+   publishes exactly that tarball with provenance, then `attest and attach` fetches it back
+   from the registry, checks both digests and `npm audit signatures`, and attaches the tarball,
+   the CycloneDX / SPDX / toolchain SBOMs and the Sigstore bundle to the release.
+3. Verify like a consumer: `npm install zipnative-cli@X.Y.Z && npm audit signatures`, and
+   `gh attestation verify zipnative-cli-X.Y.Z.tgz -R Nizoka/zipnative-cli`.
+
+## Bumping the engine
+
+`zipnative` is the only runtime dependency; Dependabot never bumps it inside the dev group.
+A bump is a reviewed change of its own:
+
+1. `npx npm@11 install zipnative@^X.Y.Z --ignore-scripts`, then check out the matching tag of
+   zipnative next to this repository (`../zipnative`, or set `ZIPNATIVE_ENGINE_CHECKOUT`).
+2. `npm run typecheck:all` — `ZIP_TO_CLI` and the diagnostic table are typed against the
+   engine's unions, so a new error or diagnostic code fails `tsc` until the CLI maps it.
+3. Re-export every new name in `src/core-bridge/index.ts` (the docs test requires it).
+4. `npm run build && node scripts/sync-engine-data.mjs` — re-derives the engine half of
+   `docs/data/errors.json` and `docs/data/core-exports.json` and names every row a human must
+   complete (`raisedBy` for a new diagnostic; `reach` / `via` for a new export — `bridged`
+   with a ROADMAP reason when no command reaches it yet). `--check` is the CI form.
+5. Map each export in `docs/KNOWLEDGE_BASE.md` §8, read the engine's CHANGELOG for behaviour
+   changes (a reclassified error, a widened union, a new default), regenerate the veraZIP corpus
+   and compare its SHA-256 with the previous build — a byte change under `--deterministic` is a
+   semver-major event.

+zipnative-cli is licensed under the [MIT License](LICENSE). The published package contains only
+code written for this project: `dist/cli.cjs` bundles the CLI's own sources and keeps its one
+runtime dependency external (`scripts/lib/bundle-probe.mjs` fails the build if any engine code is
+inlined).
+
+## Runtime dependency (installed by npm, not bundled)
+
+| Package | Version range | Source | Licence |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| zipnative | `^1.1.0` | https://github.com/Nizoka/zipnative | MIT |
+
+zipnative itself has no runtime dependency; `npm ls --omit=dev --all` lists it alone
+(`scripts/smoke-install.mjs` checks exactly that on the packed tarball).
+
+## Development tools (never in the package)
+
+The build, type-check, lint and test toolchain (TypeScript, tsup and esbuild, ESLint and
+typescript-eslint, Vitest and its V8 coverage provider, `@types/node`) is declared in
+`package.json` `devDependencies`, pinned by `package-lock.json`, and is not part of what a user
+installs. The tree is under permissive licences (MIT, ISC, BSD-2/3-Clause, Apache-2.0,
+BlueOak-1.0.0, Python-2.0), except `lightningcss` and its platform binaries, which Vitest's
+bundler pulls in under MPL-2.0 and which are used unmodified at test time only.
+`dependency-review.yml` holds every new dependency to that allow-list and names the
+`lightningcss` exception package by package.
+
+## Code ported from the ecosystem (in the repository, never in the package)
+
+- `scripts/validate-zip.mjs` — the veraZIP ISO/IEC 21320-1:2015 validator, ported from zipnative
+  (`scripts/validate-zip.ts`, MIT, same author); its source commit and blob are recorded in the
+  file header and checked by `tests/scripts/verazip-vendor.test.ts`.
+- `tests/helpers/raw-zip-builder.ts` — the engine-independent raw ZIP builder, ported from
+  zipnative's test helpers (MIT, same author).
+- `scripts/lib/bundle-probe.mjs`, `scripts/lib/package-files.mjs`, `scripts/gate.mjs` and
+  `src/utils/engines.ts` — adapted from pkinative-cli (MIT, same author).
+
+## Test material (in the repository, never in the package)
+
+`tests/fixtures/interop/` holds two archives written by foreign tools (bsdtar, PowerShell
+`Compress-Archive`) over files of this repository — their provenance is in
+[tests/fixtures/README.md](tests/fixtures/README.md). Every other test archive is generated at
+test time and never committed.

+# Release integrity: the bytes that passed the gate are the bytes published
+
+## Context and Problem Statement
+
+Up to 1.0.0, `publish.yml` was one job that held every permission at once — the OIDC
+`id-token` that mints the npm token, `contents: write` and `attestations: write` — while it ran
+`npm ci` without `--ignore-scripts`, the whole dev toolchain, the tests and an SBOM generator
+fetched as a dev dependency. It restored the npm cache other workflows had written, set up "the
+newest Node `>=22.14.0`" with its bundled npm, and could be dispatched from any branch with no
+version check. Dev-dependency code therefore ran where a publishing token could be minted, and
+nothing checked afterwards that what the registry served was what the gate had tested.
+pkinative-cli and zipnative 1.1 had both split their release for exactly these reasons.
+
+## Decision Outcome
+
+- **Four jobs** — `guard` → `build` → `publish` → `attest` (`.github/workflows/publish.yml`):
+  - `guard` reads `package.json` and refuses a non-tag ref, a tag that is not `v<version>` and a
+    0.x version, before any approval is asked; it installs nothing.
+  - `build` holds no `id-token`, restores no cache, builds on the `.nvmrc` line, runs
+    `npm ci --ignore-scripts` and the whole publish gate (`node scripts/gate.mjs --publish
+    --require-all`: build, reproducible build, bundle check, smoke, coverage, engine data, the
+    pinned tarball list, the samples, the veraZIP corpus fail-closed, the install smoke test),
+    packs **once** and hands the tarball on with its SHA-256 and SHA-512 as job outputs.
+  - `publish` runs behind the `npm-publish` environment (a required reviewer), checks out
+    `.nvmrc` only, re-verifies both digests and the version inside the tarball, fetches an npm
+    client pinned **by content** (SHA-512) and publishes that file with provenance through
+    Trusted Publishing — no `NPM_TOKEN`, no repository script.
+  - `attest` fetches the published tarball back from the registry, checks it against the build
+    digests and `dist.integrity`, runs `npm audit signatures` in an empty project and the
+    installed bin once, writes the runtime SBOMs (CycloneDX and SPDX, `npm sbom`) and the
+    toolchain SBOM from the lockfile, attests all of them with `actions/attest-build-provenance`
+    (Sigstore) and attaches them, with the bundle, to the release.
+- Every job starts with `step-security/harden-runner` (egress blocked to an allow-list where the
+  endpoints are known); every action is pinned by SHA; `tests/tools/workflows.test.ts` holds the
+  graph, the permissions, the digests and the absence of a cache.
+- The `@cyclonedx/cyclonedx-npm` dev dependency is dropped: npm's own `sbom` command writes both
+  formats from the lockfile without installing anything.
+
+### Consequences
+
+- Good: dev-dependency code never runs next to a publishing token; the published bytes are the
+  gated bytes, verified twice; a consumer can check provenance (`npm audit signatures`) and the
+  release attestation (`gh attestation verify zipnative-cli-<version>.tgz -R
+  Nizoka/zipnative-cli`).
+- Neutral: the maintainer must create the `npm-publish` environment and bind Trusted Publishing
+  to it (CONTRIBUTING.md §Release) before the first 1.1 publish.

+/**
+ * zipnative-cli — the single definition of what "green" means. CI, the
+ * release workflow, the veraZIP workflow, CONTRIBUTING.md and the agent
+ * instructions point here instead of each carrying a list of commands.
+ * Ported from pkinative-cli (scripts/gate.ts), in plain ESM (no tsx).
+ *
+ * Each step is an npm script or an inline check; its full output goes to
+ * test-output/.gate/<id>.log and the gate prints one line per step. On the
+ * first failure it prints the tail of that log and stops.
+ *
+ *   npm run gate                                   --ci (default)
+ *   npm run gate:fast                              typecheck, lint, test
+ *   node scripts/gate.mjs --publish --require-all  what publish.yml runs
+ *   node scripts/gate.mjs --only smoke | --from build | --json
+ *
+ * Profiles: --fast (no build), --ci (everything but the install smoke test,
+ * the samples and the veraZIP corpus), --publish (everything). --require-all
+ * turns every SKIP into a FAIL and makes veraZIP fail closed without a
+ * level-1 tool (VERAZIP_REQUIRED=1): a runner that lacks a tool goes red.
+ *
+ * Exit: 0 every step passed or skipped with a reason · 1 a step failed · 2 usage.

Subject: [PATCH 05/22] test(fuzz): seeded parser fuzzing, stricter compiler,
 veraZIP 1.1 sync, docs integrity

- tests/fuzz/parsers.test.ts: seeded campaigns (no dependency) over argv,
  sizes / counts / durations, globs, --fields, batch manifests,
  .zipnativerc.json, --name-encoding and the terminal escaper; invariant:
  return or CliError, never E_RUNTIME (ADR 0010, ROADMAP A-25)
- fix(glob): a character class with a range out of order ('[h-%]') is a
  usage error (exit 2) instead of a RegExp SyntaxError surfacing as
  E_RUNTIME (fuzz finding)
- tsconfig: exactOptionalPropertyTypes, noImplicitOverride,
  noPropertyAccessFromIndexSignature, lib ES2022 without dom
- eslint: no-non-null-assertion, no-console, no zipnative import outside
  the core bridge
- veraZIP: re-port of zipnative 1.1.0 validate-zip.ts (blob 604321f,
  commit 1e2ab42): WF/DESCRIPTOR-WIDTH keys the descriptor width on the
  local header's Zip64 extra; 23-id vocabulary; the vendor test compares
  the pins with the engine checkout at the installed tag when present
- corpus: create --stream --zip64 and a clamped pre-1980 --date
  (39 archives: 35 PASS, 4 XFAIL); the 37 earlier archives stay
  byte-identical to the 1.0.0 build
- tests/docs/links.test.ts: every relative link and anchor resolves, no
  CRLF in the index; the fixture ledger records and checks SHA-256
- coverage thresholds ratcheted to 95 / 91 / 97 / 96

+# Seeded fuzzing of the CLI-owned parsers; coverage-guided fuzzing stays in the engine
+
+## Context and Problem Statement
+
+Every byte of ZIP structure is parsed by the engine, which carries its own fuzzing. The CLI still
+owns a set of parsers that read untrusted or hand-typed text: argv (`parseArgs` and the
+invocation contract), byte sizes, counts and durations, globs, `--fields` projections, `batch`
+manifests, `.zipnativerc.json`, `--name-encoding` labels, and the terminal escaper. Up to 1.0.0
+their suites were example-based only (ROADMAP A-25), so an input nobody thought of could still
+escape as a `TypeError` or a `SyntaxError` and reach the user as `E_RUNTIME`.
+
+## Decision Outcome
+
+- `tests/fuzz/parsers.test.ts` drives each of those parsers with a seeded PRNG (the raw
+  builder's, no dependency: no `fast-check`) and checks one invariant: the parser returns, or
+  throws a `CliError` with exit 1 or 2. For the escaper the property is that its output carries
+  no control or bidi character and that escaping is stable; for globs, that matching stays fast
+  (no catastrophic backtracking); for projections and manifests, that `__proto__` never reaches
+  `Object.prototype`.
+- It runs with the rest of the suite (1 500 inputs per target, fixed seed, so a failure
+  reproduces). `FUZZ_SEED` and `FUZZ_RUNS` widen a campaign locally (`FUZZ_RUNS=20000`).
+- The first campaigns found one real bug: a glob character class with a range out of order
+  (`--include '[h-%]'`) surfaced the RegExp `SyntaxError` as `E_RUNTIME`; `compileGlob` now
+  refuses it as a usage error, and a unit test pins the case.
+- Coverage-guided fuzzing of the ZIP format stays in the engine; the CLI never parses ZIP bytes.
+
+### Consequences
+
+- Good: a parser change that lets a hostile input crash the process fails CI.
+- Neutral: the seeded campaign is a lower bound, not a proof; longer campaigns are cheap to run.

Subject: [PATCH 06/22] chore(release): 1.1.0

- version 1.1.0 (package.json, lockfile, CITATION.cff with the engine
  reference at 1.1.0)
- CHANGELOG [1.1.0]: security and behaviour changes with their migration,
  added, changed, fixed, supply chain, documentation; the entries listed
  under [Unreleased] after 1.0.0 shipped in the 1.0.0 tarball (the
  published dist/cli.cjs is byte-identical to the v1.0.0 tag build) and
  now sit under [1.0.0] "Release-branch review"
- ROADMAP: v1.1.0 released section; the v1.0.0 entry keeps its own
  37-archive figures; the type-aware lint item is checked
- release-notes/v1.1.0.md; release-notes/draft/PR-v1.1.0.md and
  triage-v1.1.0.md (every open PR and alert, read with read-only gh api
  calls, with a verdict and a ready-to-paste comment)
- docs: README what's-new box and figures, AGENTS.md (zip64 in the create
  envelope, the timeout envelope, timestamps / unixIds / nameEncoding
  rows, canonicalForm and offenders, decoded names stay guarded),
  llms.txt, knowledge base, CONTRIBUTING, copilot-instructions and
  CLAUDE.md figures (106 exports, 12 diagnostics, 69 files, thresholds)
- samples: create/08-zip64-stream, list/04-name-encoding (with a foreign
  Shift_JIS archive from .NET System.IO.Compression, SHA-256 recorded and
  tested), inspect/04-canonical-form, agent/04-timeout-and-progress;
  45 demos, run-all.js 83 jobs; the samples README config rows follow the
  presentation-only contract
- typescript-eslint 8.69.0 -> 8.71.1 (the dev half of Dependabot #11)

 ## [Unreleased]
 
-### Added
+## [1.1.0] – 2026-10-18
+
+Built on **zipnative 1.1.0** (`^1.0.0` → `^1.1.0`, still the only runtime dependency). The
+engine's 1.1.0 is additive: 77 → 106 exports, the same 39 error codes, a 12th diagnostic
+(`ZIP_TIMESTAMP_CLAMPED`) and a new `ZipLimits.maxEntryCompressedSize`. This release brings the
+CLI to parity with it — every new export is bridged, and the ones that change what a command can
+do are exposed as flags — and to the runtime and supply-chain hardening level of pkinative-cli
+and zipnative 1.1.0. Three hardening items narrow what 1.0.0 accepted; they ship as **security
+fixes in a minor release** and are listed with their migration under
+[Security and behaviour changes](#security-and-behaviour-changes-migration). Every other change is
+additive: the `--json` envelopes, the 13 `E_*` codes, the exit codes and the `ZIP_*` mapping are
+unchanged, and the 37 archives of the 1.0.0 veraZIP corpus are byte-identical when the 1.1.0 CLI
+writes them. Design decisions are recorded as ADRs in [docs/adr/](docs/adr/README.md).
+
+### Security and behaviour changes (migration)
+
+- **The configuration file is presentation only** ([ADR 0001](docs/adr/0001-configuration-is-presentation-only.md)).
+  `.zipnativerc.json` may set `format`, `fields`, `json`, `pretty`, `quiet`, `no-color`,
+  `progress`, `strict`, `long` and `summary` — nothing else. 1.0.0 refused only `codec`, so a
+  file planted in a parent directory could disable the limits or turn on `--overwrite`,
+  `--skip-unsafe` or `--allow-symlinks` for every command run below it. Any other key is now
+  `E_USAGE` naming the file; `__proto__` / `constructor` / `prototype` are refused; only a
+  regular file is read, through one bounded descriptor; a key applies only to a command that
+  declares the flag. The file that applied is announced on stderr
+  (`info: defaults from <path>: <keys>`) and carried as `config: { path, applied }` in the
+  envelopes. **Migration:** move safety and limit settings from the file to argv (or to a
+  `batch` manifest task's `flags`).
+- **Strict invocation** ([ADR 0003](docs/adr/0003-strict-invocation.md)). A flag the command
+  does not declare (`--overwite`), a single-value flag given twice, a repeated switch, a value
+  given to a switch (`--json=1`), `-o=x`, and surplus operands are `E_USAGE` (exit 2) before any
+  input is read — on argv and for every `batch` task before the first one runs. 1.0.0 ignored a
+  misspelt flag, so `--max-entires 10` silently ran with the default bound; `--constructor x`
+  crashed with `E_RUNTIME`. The parser is prototype-free and canonicalises the short aliases.
+  **Migration:** remove the flags the command never honoured; `--codec`, `--include`,
+  `--exclude`, `--entry`, `--check` and the other declared repeatable flags still repeat.
+- **Every bound is finite** ([ADR 0002](docs/adr/0002-every-bound-is-finite.md)). `none`, `inf`
+  and `infinity` are refused on the eight `--max-*` flags, `--max-input-size` and `inflate
+  --max-output`, with a remedy naming an explicit value. **Migration:** pass the size you mean
+  (`--max-total-size 64g`).
+- **Reads through one descriptor; overwrites by rename** ([ADR 0005](docs/adr/0005-one-descriptor-reads-and-rename-overwrites.md)).
+  An input is opened once: a regular file is size-checked against `--max-input-size` on that
+  descriptor and read to that size; a pipe, FIFO or device is byte-counted, so `/dev/zero` stops
+  with `E_LIMIT` instead of exhausting memory (process substitution still works); a directory
+  is `E_IO`. An output is created with an `lstat` refusal (a dangling link counts as existing)
+  and an exclusive open; under `--overwrite` it is written to a temporary sibling and renamed
+  into place, so a planted symlink is **replaced, never followed**. This covers `create`,
+  `modify`, `cat`, `inflate`, `extract` and `stream`.
+- **Terminal-safe text** ([ADR 0004](docs/adr/0004-terminal-safe-text.md)). C0 / C1 controls,
+  DEL and the Unicode bidi controls in attacker-controlled text (entry names, comments, engine
+  messages) are escaped as `\xNN` / `\uXXXX` in every text sink — tables, progress lines,
+  diagnostics, errors. JSON output stays exact (`rawNameHex` keeps the bytes).
+- **Text errors lead with the class and the engine code**: `error E_X (ZIP_Y): message`, then
+  the `remedy:` line. Scripts that matched the 1.0.0 `Error: ` prefix should match
+  `^error ` or, better, use `--json`.
 
-- **`error.remedy`** in the `--json` error envelope (and a `remedy:` line in text mode): the
-  CLI flag(s) or command that lift a refusal — `--skip-unsafe (extract, stream)`,
-  `--on-duplicate first|last`, `--overwrite`, the exact `--max-*` flag of an exceeded bound,
-  `--skip-unsupported`, `zipnative list` … — computed from one `ZIP_REMEDY` table and mirrored
-  in `schema error`, `schema errors` and `docs/data/errors.json` (`cli.remedy`). The engine
-  message stays verbatim (it names library options, not flags). (review Q2-F2)
+### Added
 
-- **`inspect --check safe-names`** and `stats.unsafeNames`: every entry name must pass the
-  engine's `sanitizeEntryPath()` — the pre-extraction gate `verify` cannot give (it proves
-  integrity and structure, not path safety; its help and the docs now say so). (review Q2-F3)
+- **zipnative 1.1.0 parity.** The core bridge re-exports all **106** exports (101 from
+  `zipnative`, 5 from `zipnative/worker`); `docs/data/core-exports.json` gains a third reach
+  grade, `bridged`, for the exports no 1.1.0 command reaches yet (the range reader,
+  `canonicalizeZip`, raw entry copy — each named in [ROADMAP.md](ROADMAP.md) "1.2 candidates").
+- **`create --stream --zip64`** (also with `--stdin-name`): a
+  streamed entry is written with a Zip64 local header and the 24-byte data descriptor, so it may
+  exceed 4 GiB (`AddEntryOptions.zip64`). Without it, an entry past 4 GiB stays refused with
+  `ZIP_UNSUPPORTED_ZIP64_STREAMING`. The status envelope carries `zip64`.
+- **`--name-encoding <label>`** on `list`, `inspect`, `cat`, `extract` and `stream`: names
+  stored without the UTF-8 flag are decoded with any WHATWG label the runtime knows
+  (`shift_jis`, `gbk`, `windows-1252`, …) through the engine's `nameDecoder`, which applies it
+  **before** sanitising for extraction. `nameEncoding` becomes `"custom"`; `--long` keeps the
+  bytes in `rawNameHex`. `verify` does not take it (`VerifyZipOptions` has no decoder).
+- **`--timeout <duration>`** (global: `500`, `500ms`, `30s`, `5m`, `1h`): one `AbortSignal`
+  deadline for the run. Past it the run stops at the next chunk or entry boundary with
+  **`E_LIMIT`** (`detail.limit: "timeout"`, `configured`, `observed`) and the file being written
+  is removed; no new `E_*` code ([ADR 0006](docs/adr/0006-timeout-is-a-limit.md)).
+- **`--progress`** (global, or `ZIPNATIVE_PROGRESS=1`): the engine's `onProgress` snapshots on
+  stderr where the engine measures them (`create --stream` / `--stdin-name` / `--parallel`,
+  `extract` without `--buffered`, `stream`, `cat`) — one throttled text line, or NDJSON
+  `{"type":"progress",…}` under `--json`; off under `--quiet`; stdout is never touched.
+- **`inspect`** measures determinism with `analyzeDeterminism()`: `deterministic` keeps its
+  1.0.0 meaning, and the block adds `canonicalExtras`, `canonicalVersionMadeBy`,
+  `canonicalForm` and `offenders[{ name, concern }]`; **`--check canonical-form`** asserts the
+  engine's full verdict. `--summary` carries `canonicalForm`.
+- **`--long` rows** add `timestamps { mtime, atime, ctime, source }` (UT `0x5455`, NTFS
+  `0x000a` or DOS) and `unixIds { uid, gid }` (`0x7875`), read through
+  `getExtendedTimestamps()` / `getUnixIds()`.
+- **`stream --codec`**: methods registered by a `--codec` module are decoded through the
+  codec's `createDecompressor()`; a codec without one is refused before the first byte
+  (`ZIP_UNSUPPORTED_CODEC_MODE`), or skipped with `--skip-unsupported`.
+- **`ZIP_TIMESTAMP_CLAMPED`**, the 12th diagnostic: a date outside the DOS range is clamped by
+  the engine (before 1980 → 1980-01-01) and reported; `--strict` refuses it. The CLI's own
+  range warning is gone (the engine reports it).
+- **`maxEntryCompressedSize`** is reported by `doctor` and `schema limits`, deliberately
+  without a flag: only `openZipRange()` consults it, and no 1.1.0 command opens a range reader
+  ([ADR 0007](docs/adr/0007-no-flag-without-an-effect.md)).
+- **Seeded fuzzing of the CLI-owned parsers** (`tests/fuzz/`, ROADMAP A-25,
+  [ADR 0010](docs/adr/0010-seeded-fuzzing-of-cli-parsers.md)): argv and the invocation
+  contract, sizes / counts / durations, globs, `--fields`, `batch` manifests,
+  `.zipnativerc.json`, `--name-encoding` labels and the terminal escaper; invariant: return or
+  `CliError`, never `E_RUNTIME`. `FUZZ_SEED` / `FUZZ_RUNS` widen a campaign.
+- **Documentation integrity tests**: every relative link and `#anchor` in a tracked Markdown
+  file resolves, no tracked text file is stored with CRLF, and the fixture ledger records and
+  checks the SHA-256 of each committed archive.
+- **`scripts/sync-engine-data.mjs`** (`npm run sync:engine`, `--check` in CI): re-derives the
+  engine half of `docs/data/errors.json` and `docs/data/core-exports.json` from a zipnative
+  checkout, and the CLI mapping from the built CLI.
+- Ten **ADRs** under [docs/adr/](docs/adr/README.md), pinned to the code by a consistency test.
 
 ### Changed
 
-- ESLint runs the type-aware `strictTypeChecked` set over `src/` (`no-floating-promises`,
-  `no-misused-promises`, `no-unnecessary-condition`, …; three relaxations justified in
-  `eslint.config.js`, tests keep the non-type-checked strict set) and `tsconfig.json` enables
-  `noUncheckedIndexedAccess`. No behaviour change. (review Q4-P1-3, audit A-44)
+- **Engine compensations removed** now that 1.1.0 answers them: the zlib-error translation
+  (`ZLIB_TO_ZIP` — every inflate tier raises `ZIP_DEFLATE_CORRUPT` / `ZIP_DEFLATE_TRUNCATED`),
+  the hand-rolled skip re-derivation in `verify --entry` and `modify`
+  (`EntryVerification.skipped`, the engine's archive rule), and the Unix-mode encoder
+  (`externalAttributesFromUnixMode()`, still masked to `0o777`, so setuid / setgid / sticky bits
+  are never written).
+- **`modify`** cross-checks the local header of an encrypted or stream-only-codec survivor too
+  (a mismatch is `E_SECURITY` `ZIP_CD_LFH_MISMATCH`); an unregistered method stays
+  `E_UNSUPPORTED` `ZIP_UNSUPPORTED_METHOD`.
+- **`verify`**: a skipped entry is never `ok`. An encrypted or stream-only-codec entry whose
+  local header matches is counted in `skipped`; an unsupported method fails.
+- **DOS dates**: the engine's `dosTimeMode` is deliberately not adopted — the CLI's convention
+  is per entry (explicit dates store UTC fields; `--date now` and `--mtime` store local
+  wall-clock time), which one archive-wide mode cannot express
+  ([ADR 0008](docs/adr/0008-dos-dates-per-entry-convention.md)).
+- **`doctor`** reads the supported Node range from `package.json` `engines.node` (still
+  `>=22`) instead of a hard-coded floor.
+- **Exit after flush**: an exit that follows a stdout or stderr write waits for the stream to
+  drain (asynchronous pipes on macOS and Windows could truncate the output).
+- **TypeScript and lint**: `exactOptionalPropertyTypes`, `noImplicitOverride`,
+  `noPropertyAccessFromIndexSignature`, `lib` without `dom`; ESLint adds
+  `no-non-null-assertion`, `no-console` and a rule forbidding a `zipnative` import outside the
+  core bridge. Coverage thresholds ratcheted to 95 / 91 / 97 / 96 (measured
+  96.28 / 92.20 / 98.19 / 97.03).
+- **veraZIP** re-ported from zipnative 1.1.0 (`scripts/validate-zip.ts`, commit `1e2ab42`, blob
+  `604321f`): the new `WF/DESCRIPTOR-WIDTH` check keys the data-descriptor width on the local
+  header's Zip64 extra (APPNOTE 4.3.9.2), a 23-id vocabulary. The corpus gains `create --stream
+  --zip64` and a clamped pre-1980 `--date`: **39 archives, 35 PASS, 4 XFAIL**. When an engine
+  checkout is present, the vendor test compares the pinned blobs with the upstream files at the
+  installed engine's tag.
+- `samples/config` demonstrates the presentation-only contract, including a refused planted
+  file.
 
-### Supply chain
+### Fixed
 
-- The CycloneDX generator is an exact-pinned devDependency (`@cyclonedx/cyclonedx-npm` 6.0.1,
-  installed from the lockfile) instead of an unpinned `npx --yes …@^1` fetched inside the
-  publish job — the old range also declared `engines.npm: 6 - 9`, incompatible with the npm ≥ 11
-  Trusted Publishing requires. (review Q4-P0-2)
-- The published tarball is attested with `actions/attest-build-provenance` (next to the SBOM),
-  attached to the release with its SHA-256, and `npm publish` ships that packed file. (P1-1)
-- CI proves the bundle is byte-reproducible (two builds, one hash), audits at
-  `--audit-level=moderate`, checks Conventional Commits on PRs (dependency-free job), and runs
-  a start-up guard (the worker bundle is reachable only through the lazy `import()`, the engine
-  is the single hoisted external; overhead over bare Node under 250 ms). (P1-2, P1-8, P2-5, P2-6)
+- **Data loss on an early error** (1.0.0): when the engine failed before the deferred exclusive
+  open, `cat`, `inflate` and `create` unlinked the output path — which could be a pre-existing
+  file the run had refused to overwrite. The write layer now removes only what it created.
+- A glob character class with a range out of order (`--include '[h-%]'`) is a usage error
+  (exit 2) instead of a RegExp `SyntaxError` surfacing as `E_RUNTIME` (found by the fuzz suite).
+- `--constructor x`, `--__proto__ x` and other prototype names no longer crash the parser with
+  `E_RUNTIME`; they are `E_USAGE`.
+- `--json` is honoured for the refusals raised while argv is parsed (the envelope used to be
+  text).
+- A literal NUL in `src/utils/diagnostics.ts` made git treat the source as binary;
+  `tests/docs/source-hygiene.test.ts` now forbids raw control and bidi characters in every
+  tracked text file (Trojan Source, CVE-2021-42574).
 
-### Documentation
+### Supply chain
 
-- Two more upstream engine asks drafted for human filing (HITL): the node-zlib inflate tier
-  leaking raw `Z_DATA_ERROR` / `Z_BUF_ERROR` instead of `ZIP_DEFLATE_*`, and `verifyEntry()`
-  not reporting the `skipped` reason — both pass `govern verify-issue`. (review Q3)
-- `.github/drafts/` is now git-ignored except its `README.md` and a `TEMPLATE.md` whose
-  sections match what `govern verify-issue` and the compliance report expect — the same rule
-  as the engine repository; the four drafts written so far are local files until filed.
+- **Four-job release** ([ADR 0009](docs/adr/0009-release-integrity.md)): `guard` (the tag must
+  equal `v<version>`) → `build` (no `id-token`, no cache, the publish gate, pack + SHA-256 /
+  SHA-512) → `publish` (behind the `npm-publish` environment, `.nvmrc` only, both digests
+  re-checked, an npm client pinned by SHA-512, `npm publish --provenance` through Trusted
+  Publishing) → `attest` (the tarball fetched back from the registry and compared,
+  `npm audit signatures`, CycloneDX + SPDX SBOMs from `npm sbom`, attested and attached to the
+  release). `@cyclonedx/cyclonedx-npm` is dropped.
+- **One definition of green**: `scripts/gate.mjs` (`--fast`, `--ci`, `--publish`,
+  `--require-all`) is what `ci.yml`, `node-current.yml`, `sample-regression.yml` and
+  `publish.yml` run, instead of hand-copied steps. It adds a reproducible-build step, a bundle
+  probe (engine external, no inlined engine code, no `console.log`, no attribution trailer), a
+  frozen tarball file list (`docs/data/package-files.json`, 10 files) and an install smoke test
+  of the packed tarball.
+- **Every job**: `step-security/harden-runner` first, `npm ci --ignore-scripts`, read-only
+  top-level permissions with writes granted per job, `persist-credentials: false`, one SHA per
+  action verified against the peeled upstream tag; no path filter on a required check;
+  `verazip.yml` no longer interpolates step outputs into `run:` scripts.
+- **New workflows**: `audit.yml` (weekly `npm audit` + OSV-Scanner), `dependency-review.yml`
+  (high severity, licence allow-list), `node-current.yml` (Node 26, advisory),

+  (zizmor, checksum-verified actionlint, `reuse lint`). CodeQL analyses `actions` and
+  `javascript-typescript` with `security-extended`.
+- **Repository as code**: `.github/rulesets/{main,tags}.json`, CODEOWNERS widened to the trust
+  boundary, `SECURITY-INSIGHTS.yml` (OpenSSF 2.0), `docs/.well-known/security.txt` (RFC 9116),
+  `REUSE.toml` + `LICENSES/`, `THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.md`.
+- **Dependabot**: seven-day cooldown, GitHub Actions grouped (the four `codeql-action` steps
+  move together), `zipnative` excluded from the dev group, `@types/node` majors ignored (the
+  `engines` floor is Node 22).
+- **Package**: a tracked `.npmrc` (`ignore-scripts`, `engine-strict`, `audit-level=moderate`),
+  `.node-version`, `packageManager`, exact `overrides`, `@eslint/js` declared, no `main`
+  entry; the tarball adds `CHANGELOG.md`, `SECURITY.md` and `THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.md`.
+- `npm audit`: the five vulnerable dev-only packages of the 1.0.0 lockfile (`brace-expansion`,
+  `source-map-js`, `fast-uri`, `http-cache-semantics`, `ip-address`) are gone; 0
+  vulnerabilities.
+- CI actions moved to `github/codeql-action` v4.37.9 (all four steps together) and
+  `ossf/scorecard-action` v2.4.4; this supersedes Dependabot PRs #1, #3, #4, #5 and #7.
+- `typescript-eslint` 8.69.0 → 8.71.1 (the dev half of Dependabot PR #11, whose other half —
+  the runtime `zipnative` — is the hand-made bump above).
+- AI governance 1.1.0: `ai_attribution_trailers_allowed: false`,
+  `configuration_relaxes_checks: false`; opt-in git hooks (`npm run hooks:install`).

+### Release-branch review
+
+The review pass that closed the release branch. These entries were listed under
+[Unreleased] until 1.1.0, but they shipped in the 1.0.0 tarball.
+
+#### Added
+
+- **`error.remedy`** in the `--json` error envelope (and a `remedy:` line in text mode): the
+  CLI flag(s) or command that lift a refusal — `--skip-unsafe (extract, stream)`,
+  `--on-duplicate first|last`, `--overwrite`, the exact `--max-*` flag of an exceeded bound,
+  `--skip-unsupported`, `zipnative list` … — computed from one `ZIP_REMEDY` table and mirrored
+  in `schema error`, `schema errors` and `docs/data/errors.json` (`cli.remedy`). The engine
+  message stays verbatim (it names library options, not flags). (review Q2-F2)
+
+- **`inspect --check safe-names`** and `stats.unsafeNames`: every entry name must pass the
+  engine's `sanitizeEntryPath()` — the pre-extraction gate `verify` cannot give (it proves
+  integrity and structure, not path safety; its help and the docs now say so). (review Q2-F3)
+
+#### Changed
+
+- ESLint runs the type-aware `strictTypeChecked` set over `src/` (`no-floating-promises`,
+  `no-misused-promises`, `no-unnecessary-condition`, …; three relaxations justified in
+  `eslint.config.js`, tests keep the non-type-checked strict set) and `tsconfig.json` enables
+  `noUncheckedIndexedAccess`. No behaviour change. (review Q4-P1-3, audit A-44)
+
+#### Supply chain
+
+- The CycloneDX generator is an exact-pinned devDependency (`@cyclonedx/cyclonedx-npm` 6.0.1,
+  installed from the lockfile) instead of an unpinned `npx --yes …@^1` fetched inside the
+  publish job — the old range also declared `engines.npm: 6 - 9`, incompatible with the npm ≥ 11
+  Trusted Publishing requires. (review Q4-P0-2)
+- The published tarball is attested with `actions/attest-build-provenance` (next to the SBOM),
+  attached to the release with its SHA-256, and `npm publish` ships that packed file. (P1-1)
+- CI proves the bundle is byte-reproducible (two builds, one hash), audits at
+  `--audit-level=moderate`, checks Conventional Commits on PRs (dependency-free job), and runs
+  a start-up guard (the worker bundle is reachable only through the lazy `import()`, the engine
+  is the single hoisted external; overhead over bare Node under 250 ms). (P1-2, P1-8, P2-5, P2-6)
+
+#### Documentation
+
+- Two more upstream engine asks drafted for human filing (HITL): the node-zlib inflate tier
+  leaking raw `Z_DATA_ERROR` / `Z_BUF_ERROR` instead of `ZIP_DEFLATE_*`, and `verifyEntry()`
+  not reporting the `skipped` reason — both pass `govern verify-issue`. (review Q3)
+- `.github/drafts/` is now git-ignored except its `README.md` and a `TEMPLATE.md` whose
+  sections match what `govern verify-issue` and the compliance report expect — the same rule
+  as the engine repository; the four drafts written so far are local files until filed.
+
+- Agent docs (AGENTS.md, llms.txt, README, knowledge base): the two rules an unattended caller
+  must encode — hermetic invocation (`--no-config` / `--config`; `.zipnativerc.json` is
+  discovered cwd-upward) and line-by-line stderr parsing (the envelope is the last `{` line).
+  (review Q2-F4)
+- CONTRIBUTING: "Versioning, stability and deprecation" (the public surface, the semver rules,
+  the `deprecate()` ladder) with a README summary; the branch-protection paragraph names
+  secret scanning / push protection; npm requirements and the deliberate absence of
+  `packageManager`. README: the locale stance (English, locale-independent output).
+
+#### Fixed
+
+- `--quiet` now also silences the text diagnostics that `list --format ndjson` and
+  `stream --list` print on stderr under `--json` (they went through `process.stderr` directly);
+  one `formatDiagnosticLine()` renders every stderr diagnostic. (review Q2-F1)

 ## Released
 
+### v1.1.0 — zipnative 1.1.0 parity and hardening _(2026-10-18)_
+
+- [x] **`zipnative` pinned** to `^1.1.0` — all 106 exports bridged (101 + 5 worker), the 12th
+  diagnostic `ZIP_TIMESTAMP_CLAMPED`, `maxEntryCompressedSize` reported by `doctor` /
+  `schema limits` without a flag (ADR 0007); `docs/data/core-exports.json` grades the exports
+  no command reaches yet as `bridged` (see "1.2 candidates" below).
+- [x] **Streamed Zip64** — `create --stream|--stdin-name --zip64` (`AddEntryOptions.zip64`):
+  streamed entries past 4 GiB.
+- [x] **Legacy name encodings** — `--name-encoding <label>` on `list`, `inspect`, `cat`,
+  `extract`, `stream` (the engine's `nameDecoder`, applied before sanitising).
+- [x] **Deadline and progress** — global `--timeout <duration>` (`AbortSignal`, `E_LIMIT`
+  `detail.limit: "timeout"`, ADR 0006) and `--progress` (`onProgress`, stderr text or NDJSON).
+- [x] **Determinism from the engine** — `inspect` reports `analyzeDeterminism()`
+  (`canonicalForm`, `offenders`) and `--check canonical-form`.
+- [x] **Richer entry rows** — `--long` adds `timestamps` (UT / NTFS / DOS) and `unixIds`.
+- [x] **`stream` with custom codecs** — `--codec` methods decode through
+  `createDecompressor()`; codecs without one are refused before the first byte.
+- [x] **Engine asks closed** — every compensation for an engine gap is removed: zlib error
+  translation, the skip re-derivation in `verify` / `modify`, the Unix-mode encoder.
+  `dosTimeMode` is deliberately not adopted (ADR 0008).
+- [x] **Runtime hardening** (pkinative-cli parity, ADRs 0001–0005) — presentation-only
+  configuration, strict invocation (undeclared / repeated / surplus input is `E_USAGE`), finite
+  bounds only, one-descriptor bounded reads, `lstat` + exclusive creates and temp + rename

+- Zero extra runtime dependencies — `zipnative` (`^1.1.0`) is the *only* dependency.
 - Pure dispatch layer — **no ZIP parsing logic lives in the CLI**. The CLI owns argv, the filesystem, stdout/stderr and the agent contract; every byte of ZIP structure is the engine's.
 - The CLI is the **filesystem trust boundary** — the engine never touches disk; `extract` / `stream` are the sinks and re-prove containment themselves (lexically and physically).
 - Composable — every command reads from stdin and writes to stdout by default.

+# feat: zipnative-cli 1.1.0 — zipnative 1.1.0 parity and hardening
+
+<!-- Draft for human review (HITL). Branch: release/v1.1.0 → main. Paste from "## Description". -->
+
+## Description
+
+zipnative-cli 1.1.0 on **zipnative 1.1.0** (`^1.1.0`, still the only runtime dependency). The
+release covers three things:
+
+- **Engine parity:** 106/106 exports bridged; the 1.1.0 capabilities that complete existing
+  commands are exposed as flags.
+- **Runtime hardening** to the pkinative-cli level.
+- **Release integrity** at the level of zipnative 1.1.0.
+
+Three inputs that 1.0.0 accepted are now refused. They ship as security fixes with a migration
+(CHANGELOG "Security and behaviour changes"). Everything else is additive: the envelopes, the
+`E_*` codes, the exit codes and the `ZIP_*` mapping are unchanged, and the 37 archives of the
+1.0.0 veraZIP corpus are byte-identical.
+
+Release notes: [release-notes/v1.1.0.md](../v1.1.0.md). Decisions:
+[docs/adr/](../../docs/adr/README.md) (ADRs 0001–0010). Triage of the open PRs and alerts:
+[release-notes/draft/triage-v1.1.0.md](triage-v1.1.0.md).
+
+## Related Issues
+
+Supersedes #1, #3, #4, #5, #7 (one commit moves every `codeql-action` step together) and #11
+(the engine is bumped by hand). Closes #10 (`@types/node` majors ignored: the floor is Node 22).
+Resolves Dependabot alerts #1, #3 and Scorecard alerts #3, #8; prepares #1 (rulesets as code).
+Upstream: closes the CLI's engine asks answered by zipnative 1.1.0
+([zipnative#9](https://github.com/Nizoka/zipnative/issues/9)–[#12](https://github.com/Nizoka/zipnative/issues/12)).
+
+## Commits
+
+| Commit | Scope |
+|---|---|
+| `ci(deps)` | `codeql-action` v4.37.9 on all four steps, `scorecard-action` v2.4.4 |
+| `feat(core)` | 106-export bridge, `--zip64`, `--name-encoding`, `--timeout`, `--progress`, `analyzeDeterminism`, `--long` timestamps / unix ids, `stream --codec` via `createDecompressor`, compensations removed, `scripts/sync-engine-data.mjs` |
+| `fix(security)` | presentation-only config, strict invocation, finite bounds, one-descriptor reads, `lstat` + `wx` / temp + rename writes, terminal-safe text, the early-error unlink fix, ADRs 0001–0008 |
+| `ci(supply-chain)` | four-job publish, `scripts/gate.mjs`, harden-runner / `--ignore-scripts` everywhere, zizmor / actionlint / reuse, audit + OSV, dependency review, rulesets, SECURITY-INSIGHTS, security.txt, ADR 0009 |
+| `test(fuzz)` | seeded parser fuzzing (one bug found and fixed), stricter `tsconfig` / ESLint, veraZIP re-port (`WF/DESCRIPTOR-WIDTH`), corpus 39, docs link / anchor / EOL tests, ADR 0010 |
+| `chore(release)` | 1.1.0: CHANGELOG, ROADMAP, release notes, docs refresh, four new samples, `typescript-eslint` 8.71.1 |
+
+## Behaviour changes (reviewer attention)
+
+1. `.zipnativerc.json`: only `format`, `fields`, `json`, `pretty`, `quiet`, `no-color`,
+   `progress`, `strict`, `long` and `summary` are allowed; any other key is `E_USAGE` naming the
+   file (ADR 0001).
+2. An undeclared, repeated or surplus flag or operand is `E_USAGE` (exit 2) before any input is
+   read, including for every `batch` task (ADR 0003).
+3. `none` / `inf` on a bound is `E_USAGE` (ADR 0002).
+4. Text errors read `error E_X (ZIP_Y): message` (was `Error: message`).
+
+No security default was loosened. `dosTimeMode` is deliberately not adopted (ADR 0008).
+`maxEntryCompressedSize` is reported without a flag (ADR 0007).
+
+## Test plan
+
+- [x] `npm run typecheck:all` clean; `npm run lint` 0 errors
+- [x] `npm run test:coverage` — 1303 passed, 8 skipped, 69 files; 96.28 / 92.20 / 98.19 / 97.03
+      (thresholds 95 / 91 / 97 / 96)
+- [x] `npm run validate:zip` — 35 PASS + 4 XFAIL; the 37 inherited archives are byte-identical
+      to the 1.0.0 build (SHA-256 compared)
+- [x] `node scripts/gate.mjs --publish --require-all` — every step green (reproducible build,
+      bundle probe, 10-file tarball, install smoke test)
+- [x] `node samples/run-all.js --clean` — 83 / 83
+- [x] Built-binary smoke tests:
+  - `create --parallel`, `doctor` (deflate tier `node-zlib`, `maxEntryCompressedSize` in the
+    limits), `schema diagnostics` (12 codes), `create --stdin-name --zip64`,
+    `list --name-encoding shift_jis`;
+  - `inspect --check canonical-form` (pass and fail), `--timeout 1ms` → `E_LIMIT`, `--progress`;
+  - refusals: `--overwite` / `--constructor x` → `E_USAGE`, `--max-entries none` → `E_USAGE`,
+    a planted config → `E_USAGE`, `--overwrite` over a symlink replaces the link.
+- [ ] CI green on the PR (all required contexts in `.github/rulesets/main.json`)
+
+## Human follow-ups (not performed by any agent)
+
+- Import `.github/rulesets/main.json` and `tags.json`.
+- Create the `npm-publish` environment with a required reviewer, and bind npm Trusted
+  Publishing to `publish.yml` with that environment.
+- After the merge: close the superseded PRs and dismiss / confirm the alerts as listed in the
+  triage draft. Register at bestpractices.dev.
+- Confirm the 1.0.x security-fix window (SECURITY.md: until 2027-04-18) and the release date in
+  CHANGELOG / CITATION / release notes before tagging `v1.1.0`.
+- Engine-side drafts in `.github/drafts/` (local, git-ignored) for the zipnative maintainer.
+
+## Checklist
+
+- [x] Tests pass (`npm run test`)
+- [x] Type check passes (`npm run typecheck:all`)
+- [x] Lint passes (`npm run lint`)
+- [x] New code has tests (coverage thresholds raised, not lowered)
+- [x] CHANGELOG.md updated
+- [x] No breaking changes to the agent contract; the three narrowed inputs are documented with
+      their migration
+- [x] Binary smoke test passes (`node dist/cli.cjs --help` outputs all 15 commands)
+- [x] veraZIP gate passes (`npm run validate:zip` locally; CI on Linux + Windows)
+- [x] No ZIP parsing logic in the CLI
+- [x] No security default loosened silently
+- [x] Docs counts updated (`tests/docs/consistency.test.ts` green)
+
+## AI assistance
+
+Drafted with AI assistance under [.github/AGENT_RULES.md](../../.github/AGENT_RULES.md) and
+CLAUDE.md. The agent worked on a local branch only and made no GitHub writes; it read alerts
+and PRs with read-only `gh api` calls. The quality gates above were run locally. Every
+deviation from the plan is recorded in an ADR or in ROADMAP:
+
+- `dosTimeMode` not adopted (ADR 0008);
+- no `--max-entry-compressed-size` flag (ADR 0007);
+- the Node floor stays `>=22`;
+- no `stream --codec` sample: the CLI cannot write a custom-method archive, so the case is
+  covered by tests;
+- runner labels stay `-latest`, as in the sibling repositories.
+
+Human review gate applies.

+## Pull requests
+
+### #1, #3, #4, #5, #7 — superseded by one commit
+
+The four `github/codeql-action` steps (`init`, `autobuild` and `analyze` in `codeql.yml`, and
+`upload-sarif` in `scorecard.yml`) must run the same release. CodeQL refuses a mixed-version

+
+Ready-to-paste comment (each PR):
+
+> Superseded by the `release/v1.1.0` branch (commit 5c09933), which moves all four
+> `github/codeql-action` steps to v4.37.9 in one change — CodeQL refuses a mixed-version run —
+> and `ossf/scorecard-action` to v2.4.4. Dependabot now groups GitHub Actions updates. Closing.
+
+### #10 — `@types/node` 26: close
+
+`engines.node` is `>=22`. Types for Node 26 would type-check calls to APIs that Node 22 does not
+have, and the error would only show at runtime on the oldest supported line. `dependabot.yml`
+on the branch ignores `@types/node` semver-major updates. Minors and patches of the 22 line still
+arrive.
+
+> Closing: the supported floor is Node 22 (`engines.node`), so `@types/node` stays on the 22.x
+> line — 26.x would type APIs that Node 22 lacks. `dependabot.yml` now ignores its major
+> versions.
+> @dependabot ignore this major version
+
+### #11 — dev group (zipnative + typescript-eslint): close, redone by hand
+
+All five platform jobs fail. The group bumped **`zipnative`, the only runtime dependency**,
+under a "dev-dependencies" label. 1.1.0 changes types (`nameEncoding: 'custom'`), `ZipLimits`
+(`maxEntryCompressedSize`), the diagnostics set and the export count the docs tests pin.
+Commit `a01d7c4` makes that bump by hand with every consequence absorbed. The
+`typescript-eslint` half (8.69.0 → 8.71.1, past the seven-day cooldown) is in the release
+commit. `dependabot.yml` excludes `zipnative` from the dev group, so the engine is always
+bumped alone.
+
+> Closing: `zipnative` is the runtime dependency, and 1.1.0 needs code and documentation
+> changes (types, limits, the 12th diagnostic, the 106-export ledger). It is bumped by hand on
+> `release/v1.1.0` (a01d7c4), together with typescript-eslint 8.71.1. Dependabot now bumps
+> `zipnative` alone, outside the dev group.
+
+## Dependabot alerts
+
+Both are in **development** dependencies — nothing in the published package (`dist/cli.cjs`
+requires only `zipnative`, which the bundle probe and the install smoke test both prove).
+
+- **#1 `ip-address`** (GHSA-j6r3-76f7-8jcv, medium; also GHSA-h3mg-xc3c-68pw in Scorecard).
+  It was a transitive dev dependency in the 1.0.0 lockfile. It is not in the branch's lockfile,
+  so the alert closes when `main` receives it.
+- **#3 `http-cache-semantics`** (GHSA-ch52-4w7c-c8xp, high, no patched version). Same: it is
+  gone from the lockfile, so the alert closes after the merge. Since no patched version exists,
+  removal was the only fix.
+
+Verification on the branch: `npm audit` reports `found 0 vulnerabilities`. The weekly
+`audit.yml` (`npm audit` + OSV-Scanner) and `dependency-review.yml` now watch for regressions.
+
+## Code-scanning alerts (all OpenSSF Scorecard, on `main`)
+
+- **#1 Branch-Protection.** `.github/rulesets/main.json` and `tags.json` hold the protection as
+  code: PRs only, required checks, no force-push or deletion, immutable `v*` tags. Import them
+  (Settings → Rules → Rulesets → Import), then the next Scorecard run re-scores.
+- **#2 Token-Permissions (`publish.yml`, `contents: write`).** Needed: the `attest` job attaches
+  the tarball, SBOMs and Sigstore bundle to the GitHub Release. The permission is granted
+  only to that job, which runs only on a `v*` tag, after the tarball has been published and
+  fetched back. The top-level permissions are read-only (ADR 0009). pkinative-cli holds the
+  same grant.
+  > Dismiss as "won't fix": `contents: write` is scoped to the `attest` job, which runs only
+  > on a release tag, after publication, to attach the release assets; top-level permissions
+  > are read-only (docs/adr/0009-release-integrity.md).
+- **#3 Token-Permissions (`codeql.yml`, top-level `security-events: write`).** Fixed: the top
+  level is `contents: read`, and `security-events: write` sits on the `analyze` job. Closes on
+  the first scan after the merge.
+- **#4 Code-Review.** Scorecard counts approved changesets; a single-maintainer project cannot
+  approve its own PRs. The ruleset enforces the PR flow and the required checks. Either leave
+  the alert open as an honest signal, or dismiss:
+  > Dismiss as "won't fix": single-maintainer project; every change lands through a PR with the
+  > required checks enforced by the main ruleset. Re-evaluate when a second maintainer joins.
+- **#5 Maintained.** The repository was created on 2026-09-02; Scorecard scores 0 for the first
+  90 days. Nothing to do — it re-scores after 2026-12-01 given continued activity.
+- **#6 CII-Best-Practices.** Register the project at <https://www.bestpractices.dev> (a human
+  account step), then replace the commented badge placeholder at the top of README.md.
+- **#7 Fuzzing.** 1.1.0 adds seeded fuzzing of every CLI-owned parser (`tests/fuzz/`,
+  ADR 0010), and the engine — which owns all ZIP parsing — has its own fuzzing. Scorecard
+  recognises TypeScript fuzzing only through specific integrations (OSS-Fuzz,
+  ClusterFuzzLite, or a property-based library such as `fast-check`), so the alert stays
+  open until one of these exists. Adding `fast-check` as a **dev** dependency is allowed (the
+  zero-dependency rule covers runtime only), but ADR 0010 chose the dependency-free PRNG. This
+  is a decision for the maintainer:
+  > Dismiss as "won't fix": the CLI owns no ZIP parsing; its argv, size, glob, projection,
+  > manifest, configuration and escaper parsers are fuzzed by a seeded campaign in CI
+  > (tests/fuzz/, docs/adr/0010), and the engine fuzzes the format.
+- **#8 Vulnerabilities.** The eight OSV ids map to `brace-expansion` (GHSA-6j4f-fj2g-mc7p,
+  GHSA-q2hr-2g5m-vwhr, GHSA-qhr7-859c-m2p7), `fast-uri` (GHSA-hrr3-gc8f-f4qj),
+  `http-cache-semantics` (GHSA-ch52-4w7c-c8xp), `ip-address` (GHSA-h3mg-xc3c-68pw,
+  GHSA-j6r3-76f7-8jcv) and `source-map-js` (GHSA-68fv-2mgg-jv7q). All are dev-only. On the
+  branch, `brace-expansion` is 1.1.21 and 5.0.12 and `source-map-js` is 1.2.2 (each at or past
+  its patched version), and `fast-uri`, `http-cache-semantics` and `ip-address` are absent. The
+  alert closes on the first Scorecard run after the merge.
+
+## Order of operations for the maintainer
+
+1. Review and push `release/v1.1.0`; open the PR from `release-notes/draft/PR-v1.1.0.md`.
+2. Import `.github/rulesets/main.json` and `tags.json`; create the `npm-publish` environment
+   (required reviewer = you) and bind npm Trusted Publishing to `publish.yml` + `npm-publish`.
+3. Merge; then close PRs #1, #3, #4, #5, #7, #10 and #11 with the comments above.
+4. After the next Scorecard and Dependabot runs, confirm alerts #1, #3, #8 (Dependabot #1, #3)
+   closed; dismiss #2 (and #4, #7 if you choose) with the texts above; register at
+   bestpractices.dev for #6.
+5. Tag `v1.1.0` on the merge commit; `publish.yml` does the rest.

+# zipnative-cli v1.1.0
+
+<!-- GitHub Release title: v1.1.0 — zipnative 1.1.0 parity and hardening -->
+
+_Released 2026-10-18_
+
+Built on **zipnative 1.1.0** (`^1.0.0` → `^1.1.0`, still the only runtime dependency). This
+release has two parts. The first is **engine parity**: the CLI bridges all 106 engine exports
+and exposes, as flags, the 1.1.0 capabilities that complete existing commands. The second is
+**hardening** to the level of pkinative-cli and zipnative 1.1.0, across the runtime, the release
+pipeline and the repository.
+
+Three hardening items narrow what 1.0.0 accepted. They ship as **security fixes in a minor
+release**, with the migration below. Everything else is additive: the `--json` envelopes, the 13
+`E_*` codes, the exit codes and the `ZIP_*` mapping are unchanged. The 37 archives of the 1.0.0
+conformance corpus are byte-identical when 1.1.0 writes them. Offline in every mode. Node.js ≥ 22.
+
+## Highlights
+
+- **Streamed Zip64** — a streamed entry may now exceed 4 GiB:
+  ```bash
+  tar -cf - build/ | zipnative create --stdin-name build.tar --zip64 -o build.zip
+  ```
+- **Legacy names, decoded** — `--name-encoding shift_jis` (or `gbk`, `windows-1252`, any WHATWG
+  label) on `list`, `inspect`, `cat`, `extract` and `stream`. The engine decodes **before** it
+  sanitises, so extraction guards still apply.
+- **A deadline and a progress feed for agents** — `--timeout 30s` stops a run with `E_LIMIT`
+  (`detail.limit: "timeout"`) and removes the partial output. `--progress` streams the engine's
+  progress on stderr, as NDJSON `{"type":"progress",…}` under `--json`.
+- **The engine's own determinism verdict** — `inspect` reports `canonicalForm` and
+  `offenders: [{ name, concern }]` from `analyzeDeterminism()`; `--check canonical-form` gates
+  on it.
+- **Richer rows** — `--long` adds `timestamps` (UT / NTFS / DOS, with `source`) and `unixIds`.
+- **A configuration file can no longer weaken a run** — `.zipnativerc.json` is presentation
+  only.
+
+## Security and behaviour changes
+
+Each item has an ADR in [docs/adr/](../docs/adr/README.md) and a migration line in
+[CHANGELOG.md](../CHANGELOG.md#security-and-behaviour-changes-migration).
+
+- **fix(security): the configuration file is presentation only** (ADR 0001). In 1.0.0, a
+  `.zipnativerc.json` planted in a parent directory could disable the limits, or turn on
+  `--overwrite`, `--skip-unsafe` or `--allow-symlinks`, for every command run below it. Only
+  `codec` was refused. The file may now set `format`, `fields`, `json`, `pretty`, `quiet`,
+  `no-color`, `progress`, `strict`, `long` and `summary`. Any other key is `E_USAGE` naming the
+  file. The applying file is announced on stderr and in the envelope (`config: { path, applied }`).
+- **fix(security): strict invocation** (ADR 0003). In 1.0.0 a misspelt flag was ignored, so
+  `--max-entires 10` ran with the default bound. Now an undeclared flag, a repeated switch or
+  single-value flag, and surplus operands are `E_USAGE` (exit 2) before any input is read. This
+  also applies to every `batch` task before the first one runs. `--constructor x` no longer
+  crashes with `E_RUNTIME`.
+- **fix(security): every bound is finite** (ADR 0002). `none` / `inf` are refused on `--max-*`,
+  `--max-input-size` and `inflate --max-output`.
+- **fix(security): one-descriptor reads, rename overwrites** (ADR 0005). `/dev/zero` as an input
+  stops at `--max-input-size` with `E_LIMIT`. Under `--overwrite`, output is written to a
+  temporary sibling and renamed into place, so a planted symlink is replaced, never followed.
+- **fix(security): terminal-safe text** (ADR 0004). Control and bidi characters in entry names,
+  comments and messages are escaped in text output. JSON stays exact.
+- **fix: no data loss on an early error.** In 1.0.0, when the engine failed before the output
+  was opened, `cat`, `inflate` and `create` could unlink a pre-existing file that the run had
+  refused to overwrite.
+
+No parser, writer or engine guard was loosened. `modify` still verifies every entry it
+re-emits, and now also checks the local header of encrypted survivors.
+
+## Added
+
+- **feat(create):** `--zip64` with `--stream` / `--stdin-name` (`AddEntryOptions.zip64`).
+- **feat(read):** `--name-encoding <label>` on `list`, `inspect`, `cat`, `extract`, `stream`.
+- **feat(agent):** global `--timeout <duration>` (`E_LIMIT`, ADR 0006) and `--progress`
+  (`ZIPNATIVE_PROGRESS=1`).
+- **feat(inspect):** `canonicalExtras`, `canonicalVersionMadeBy`, `canonicalForm`, `offenders`;
+  `--check canonical-form`.
+- **feat(list):** `--long` rows with `timestamps` and `unixIds`.
+- **feat(stream):** `--codec` methods decode through the codec's `createDecompressor()`. A codec
+  without one is refused before the first byte, or skipped with `--skip-unsupported`.
+- **feat(core):** all 106 zipnative exports bridged. `ZIP_TIMESTAMP_CLAMPED` is the 12th
+  diagnostic. `maxEntryCompressedSize` is reported by `doctor` / `schema limits`, without a
+  flag (ADR 0007).
+- **feat(samples):** four new dual-shell demos — `create/08-zip64-stream`,
+  `list/04-name-encoding` (with a foreign Shift_JIS archive), `inspect/04-canonical-form` and
+  `agent/04-timeout-and-progress`. That makes 45 demos and 83 `run-all.js` jobs.
+
+## Changed
+
+- **chore(deps):** `zipnative` `^1.0.0` → `^1.1.0`. Inherited from the engine:
+  - every inflate tier raises `ZIP_DEFLATE_CORRUPT` / `ZIP_DEFLATE_TRUNCATED`;
+  - `verifyEntry().skipped` names why an entry was not verified;
+  - out-of-range DOS dates are clamped and reported;
+  - an AES entry is named (`detail.feature: "aes"`).
+- **refactor(core):** the CLI-side compensations for those engine gaps are removed: the zlib
+  error translation, the skip re-derivation, and the Unix-mode encoder (masked to `0o777`, so no
+  setuid / setgid / sticky bit is ever written).
+- **refactor(core):** `dosTimeMode` is deliberately not adopted (ADR 0008). The CLI's DOS-date
+  convention is per entry: explicit dates store UTC fields; `now` / `--mtime` store local time.
+- **fix(cli):** text errors read `error E_X (ZIP_Y): message`. Exits wait for stdout / stderr
+  to drain. `--json` is honoured for argv-parse refusals.
+- **ci(supply-chain):** four-job release, `guard` → `build` → `publish` → `attest`
+  (ADR 0009):
+  - the tag must equal `v<version>`;
+  - `build` holds no OIDC token and no cache;
+  - `publish` runs behind the `npm-publish` environment, with an npm client pinned by SHA-512;
+  - `attest` fetches the tarball back from the registry, runs `npm audit signatures`, and writes
+    and attests the CycloneDX and SPDX SBOMs (`npm sbom`).
+- **ci(supply-chain):** `scripts/gate.mjs` is the single definition of green. It includes a
+  reproducible-build check, a bundle probe, a frozen tarball file list (10 files) and an install
+  smoke test.
+- **ci(supply-chain):** every job runs harden-runner first, `npm ci --ignore-scripts`,
+  read-only top-level permissions and SHA-pinned actions.
+- **ci(supply-chain):** new workflows and checks: zizmor, actionlint, `reuse lint`,
+  OSV-Scanner, dependency review, a Node 26 advisory run and sample regression.
+- **ci(supply-chain):** rulesets, `SECURITY-INSIGHTS.yml` and `security.txt` are kept as code.
+- **chore(quality):** stricter TypeScript (`exactOptionalPropertyTypes`, …) and ESLint
+  (`no-console`, no `zipnative` import outside the bridge). Coverage thresholds ratcheted to
+  95 / 91 / 97 / 96.
+- **test(conformance):** veraZIP re-ported from zipnative 1.1.0, adding the
+  `WF/DESCRIPTOR-WIDTH` check. The corpus is now 39 archives, adding `--stream --zip64` and a
+  clamped date.
+
+## Fixed
+
+- **fix(io):** the early-error unlink of a pre-existing output (above).
+- **fix(glob):** an out-of-order character class (`'[h-%]'`) is a usage error, not
+  `E_RUNTIME`. The new seeded fuzz suite found it (ADR 0010).
+- **fix(args):** prototype names (`--constructor`, `--__proto__`) are `E_USAGE`, not
+  `E_RUNTIME`.
+- **fix(hygiene):** a literal NUL in a source file is gone. A test now forbids raw control and
+  bidi characters in tracked files.
+
+## Documentation
+
+- **docs:** the following now describe the 1.1.0 surface, the behaviour changes and the release
+  integrity chain, with the commands to verify a download:
+  - README, AGENTS.md, llms.txt and the knowledge base;
+  - SECURITY.md (1.1.x supported; 1.0.x security fixes until 2027-04-18);
+  - CONTRIBUTING.md (the gate, the release procedure, bumping the engine).
+- **docs(adr):** ten ADRs record the decisions above.
+- **test(docs):** new tests pin the documentation: relative links and anchors resolve, line
+  endings are LF, and fixture and sample-archive SHA-256s are recorded.
+
+## Install
+
+```bash
+npm install --global zipnative-cli@1.1.0
+```
+
+Verify what you installed — the provenance and the registry signatures:
+
+```bash
+npm audit signatures            # in a project that depends on zipnative-cli
+gh attestation verify zipnative-cli-1.1.0.tgz --repo Nizoka/zipnative-cli
+```
+
+## Upgrade
+
+Drop-in for 1.0.0 except for the three narrowed inputs:
+
+1. **A `.zipnativerc.json` with a non-presentation key now fails with `E_USAGE`.** Move
+   `overwrite`, `skip-unsafe`, `allow-symlinks`, `max-*`, inputs and outputs to argv (or to a
+   `batch` manifest task's `flags`).
+2. **A flag the command does not declare now fails with `E_USAGE`.** Remove it — it was
+   never honoured.
+3. **`--max-* none` now fails with `E_USAGE`.** Pass an explicit size (`--max-total-size 64g`).
+
+Scripts that matched the 1.0.0 text-error prefix `Error: ` should match `^error ` or use
+`--json`.
+
+## Verification
+
+All checks passed on the release branch:
+
+- `npm run typecheck:all` — clean
+- `npm run lint` — 0 errors
+- `npm run test` — 1303 passed, 8 skipped (platform- or checkout-conditional) in 69 files;
+  coverage 96.28 / 92.20 / 98.19 / 97.03 (thresholds 95 / 91 / 97 / 96)
+- `npm run build` — `dist/cli.cjs` byte-reproducible; built-binary smoke test of every command
+- `npm run validate:zip` — veraZIP: **35 PASS + 4 XFAIL**, exit 0 (blocking in CI on Linux and
+  Windows, and pre-publish); the 37 archives inherited from 1.0.0 are byte-identical
+- `node scripts/gate.mjs --publish --require-all` — every step green; the packed tarball is 10
+  files, 166.5 kB
+- `node samples/run-all.js` — 83 / 83 jobs
+

The committed inputs under `samples/input/` are tiny, deterministic and text-only — except one 4 KiB pattern binary and one 139-byte foreign archive with legacy Shift_JIS names (see [Committed input archive](#committed-input-archive)) — so every `--deterministic` build hashes the same on every machine.
 
 Every sample is **offline** (no command in zipnative-cli can open a socket) and needs **no `unzip` / `7z`** — the CLI is the only archive tool involved. Scripts call `zipnative` when it is on `PATH` and fall back to the local build (`node dist/cli.cjs`) otherwise.

 ## run-all.js Options
 
 `samples/run-all.js` executes a declarative table of CLI invocations (one or more per sample) directly with Node.js — no shell needed — and asserts what the scripts assert: byte identity for the deterministic and parallel builds, `stream` vs `extract` parity, and the expected exit code + `E_*` code for every failure demo.
 
 ```bash

Subject: [PATCH 07/22] fix(review): findings of the pre-PR correctness and
 security reviews

Each finding was reproduced on the built binary before the fix and is
pinned by a test (tests/integration/review-fixes-1-1.test.ts,
built-binary-smoke.test.ts):

- stream --timeout no longer exits 0 with a truncated file: the engine's
  forward reader is not given the signal (its pending entry read did not
  settle on abort; upstream draft written), the CLI's input and write
  loops enforce the deadline; the dispatcher fails any run whose event
  loop drains with the command pending and removes the in-flight files
- a timeout that reaches a decompressor is E_LIMIT, not
  ZIP_DECOMPRESSION_FAILED (mapZipError returns the deadline's reason)
- false in .zipnativerc.json never turns a switch on
- batch directory mode declares every create flag it forwards
- one deadline per process: a manifest task cannot carry timeout
- the file writer's backpressure wait no longer leaks close listeners
  (MaxListenersExceededWarning on stderr, a 1.0.0 bug)
- --json after -- is an operand
- pipe / FIFO / device reads fill 64 KiB blocks: memory is bounded with
  the bytes, not 64 KiB per read
- terminal escaping per field: escapeLine() also escapes TAB and LF in
  names, messages, remedies and the config info line, and the escaped set
  covers the invisible look-alike characters (U+200B, U+2028/9, U+FEFF,
  U+00AD, Hangul fillers, tag characters)
- publish.yml: the consumer install check runs in a fifth, read-only job,
  never next to the attestation identity
- a manifest comment-file is anchored to the manifest directory

+- **A run never ends with exit 0 while an engine call is still pending.** If the event loop
+  drains with the command unfinished, the run fails (the deadline's `E_LIMIT` when it fired,
+  `E_RUNTIME` otherwise) and the files being written are removed. `stream` does not hand the
+  deadline to the engine's forward reader, whose pending entry read did not settle on abort;
+  the CLI's own input and write loops enforce it there.
+- **`MaxListenersExceededWarning` on large entries** (1.0.0): every backpressure wait of the
+  file writer left a `close` listener behind; one listener pair now lives per wait, so
+  stderr carries envelopes only.
+- **A pipe, FIFO or device read is bounded in memory, not only in bytes**: reads fill 64 KiB
+  blocks, so a peer trickling 1-byte reads cannot pin 64 KiB per byte below
+  `--max-input-size`.
+- **`false` in `.zipnativerc.json` never turns a switch on** (`{"json": false}` printed
+  JSON; `{"quiet": false}` silenced the warnings): it only turns off what a broader section
+  turned on.
+- `--json` after `--` is an operand, not agent mode.
 - **Data loss on an early error** (1.0.0): when the engine failed before the deferred exclusive
   open, `cat`, `inflate` and `create` unlinked the output path — which could be a pre-existing
   file the run had refused to overwrite. The write layer now removes only what it created.

Path flags (`input`, `output`, `output-dir`, `from-manifest`, `base`, and the path half of `add` / `replace`) get `validatePath()` (the `..` refusal that argv paths no longer get) and resolve against the manifest's directory; `"@<id>"` substitutes an earlier task's resolved output (or output-dir). Tasks run sequentially, fail-fast unless `--continue-on-error`. Each task's command function is loaded lazily and called in-process with the resolved flags. The 10 manifest commands are `create`, `list`, `inspect`, `extract`, `cat`, `verify`, `stream`, `modify`, `crc32`, `inflate`; `batch`, `govern`, `schema`, `completion`, `doctor` are explicitly forbidden. Manifests are size-capped (50 MB) and bounded to 1 000 tasks. Exit 1 carries the first failing task's `E_*` code and `zipCode`.

Subject: [PATCH 08/22] fix(security): strict switch values, bounded batch
 verify, mode-strict batch

Second 1.1.0 review (reviewers A and B, verifier), group 1:

- M-01: a switch takes only true|1|yes|on|false|0|no|off (case-
  insensitive); any other value, including an empty one, is E_USAGE before
  any input is read, on argv and in every batch manifest task. 1.1.0-dev
  read `--overwrite=flase` as ON (pkinative-cli parity: hasFlag delegates
  to the strict switch reader; the value is never echoed)
- N-1: batch --task verify reads each archive through the bounded
  one-descriptor reader (--max-input-size), like verify
- M-23: batch refuses the flags its mode ignores (create flags with
  --task verify, directory flags with --manifest); a manifest task cannot
  set a process-wide flag (json, quiet, no-color, config, no-config,
  progress, timeout, help, version); batch verify rows carry zipCode
- M-24: --workers is bounded 0-64
- M-26: the alias table is prototype-free; an undeclared alias is named
  as typed (--output-dir (-d)); the combined-short-flag message lists the
  real short flags
- M-27: extract refuses a file entry that is also a parent directory with
  E_IO naming the entry, before anything is written (dry-run agrees); sink
  mkdir failures map to E_IO, never E_RUNTIME
- M-28: extract --entry naming no entry is E_NOT_FOUND
  (ZIP_ENTRY_NOT_FOUND), like cat and verify
- the --json prescan also honours --json=true|1|yes|on

Subject: [PATCH 09/22] fix(control): --timeout fires while an input is stalled

Second 1.1.0 review, M-03: the deadline was only checked when a chunk
arrived, so a stalled pipe (list -, crc32, create --stdin-name, stream,
extract -) waited forever. The input streams now carry the run signal
(addAbortSignal), the buffered stdin reader rejects on abort, an
AbortError past the deadline is reported as the deadline, and the
dispatcher fails a run still pending 500 ms after the abort (a FIFO read
the CLI cannot cancel), removing the files being written. Spawn test on
the built binary; ADR 0006 updated.

   (`readableToByteSource`) and write loop enforce the deadline there. As a backstop, the
   dispatcher fails any run whose event loop drains with the command still pending.
+- Waiting for input is asynchronous, so the deadline also ends it: the input streams carry the
+  signal (`addAbortSignal`), the buffered stdin reader listens for the abort, and a read the CLI
+  cannot cancel (a FileHandle read on a stalled FIFO) is covered by the dispatcher, which fails
+  the run with the deadline 500 ms after the abort if it has not settled. A stalled pipe ends in
+  `E_LIMIT` within about a second (found by the second 1.1.0 review; before, `list -` with a
+  silent peer waited forever).
 - `mapZipError` returns the deadline error whenever the signal has fired: the engine wraps an
   abort that reaches a decompressor as `ZIP_DECOMPRESSION_FAILED`.
 - One deadline per process: a `batch` manifest task cannot carry `timeout`.

Subject: [PATCH 10/22] fix(contract): published schemas match the output,
 typed manifest, safety in the summary

Second 1.1.0 review, group 3:

- M-02: inspect-summary declares canonicalForm; the error and status
  schemas declare config { path, applied } and the command-specific status
  fields (zip64, method, level, order, stream, parallel, ...).
  tests/commands/schema-conformance.test.ts validates the real output of
  every JSON-emitting command against its schema subject (test-only
  validator, no dependency)
- M-04: inspect --summary carries unsafeNames, symlinks and duplicateNames
  (the "safe to extract?" probe)
- M-05: schema manifest adds per-command switches, repeatable, pathFlags
  and operands, plus globalSwitches / globalRepeatable; exitCodes list
  130 and 143. flags stays a string list
- M-06: a verify failure names the failing entries (detail.failedEntries,
  failedCount; entryName when exactly one)
- M-08: verify --name-encoding decodes the --entry lookups (refused
  without --entry: verifyZip takes no decoder)
- M-10: schema output is compact under --json (--pretty opts out)
- M-21: text-mode inspect --check, verify and batch failures print their
  one-line reason; a parse-time envelope names the command
- M-07: --summary / --fields given to a text run print a warning (a
  config-supplied default stays silent)
- KB: the mapZipError paragraph no longer describes the removed zlib
  translation

Subject: [PATCH 11/22] chore(supply-chain): Node security floor, offline
 denylist, accurate keywords

Second 1.1.0 review, group 4:

- M-29: engines.node is ^22.17.1 || >=24.4.1 (was >=22): the patch floor
  of the Windows path-normalisation fixes CVE-2025-23084 and
  CVE-2025-27210 (device names in path.join / normalize), which the sink's
  containment relies on. doctor reports error below it, and the new gate
  step node-floor (ci, publish) enforces it through the built CLI
- M-30: the bundle probe refuses a network module (net, http, https,
  http2, tls, dgram, dns), with or without the node: prefix, so 'offline,
  always' is enforced by the gate, not only stated
- M-22: the mcp keyword is gone (no MCP server ships with this package)

Subject: [PATCH 12/22] docs: second-review fixes to the contract docs,
 migration notes and AI instructions
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- M-25: the migration notes are exact: 1.0.0 printed the bare message (an
  Error: prefix only for unexpected runtime errors); the switch rule is
  true|1|yes|on|false|0|no|off, an unrecognised value is E_USAGE
- M-19: CHANGELOG [1.1.0] opens with a Keep a Changelog ### Security
  section (the migration lives there); links follow the new anchor
- M-11: 45 demos (README, llms.txt), 12 diagnostic codes (README), 32 + 3
  conformant archives (AGENTS), the 37 inherited archives (ADR 0008); the
  consistency test now pins the demo and diagnostic counts
- M-12: AGENTS §7 step 5 reads as one instruction; step 2 gates on the new
  safety counts; §3 documents the inspect summary fields
- M-13: CLAUDE.md names REPEATABLE_FLAGS / OPERANDS in the checklist and
  lists every utils module and script; copilot-instructions lists
  control, engines and sanitize and the --progress env mapping
- M-09: AGENTS and ADR 0008 say JSON lastModified is read in the host's
  time zone (TZ=UTC or dosDate/dosTime across hosts)
- ADR 0003 records the switch-value rule and the batch mode refusals
- ROADMAP: the deferred findings (token budget, contract/guide split,
  family hygiene, modify --name-encoding, diagnostic remedies) are 1.2
  targets

+  deadline, and the dispatcher fails a run still pending 500 ms after it.
+- **`batch --task verify` honours `--max-input-size`** (it read each archive whole, with no
+  bound — a FIFO named `*.zip` included).
+- **The published schemas match the output**: `inspect --summary` emitted `canonicalForm`,
+  and an error envelope carried `config`, which their closed schemas refused.
+- `extract` refuses a file entry that is also a parent directory (`f` and `f/child`) with
+  `E_IO` naming the entry, before anything is written (it failed midway with `E_RUNTIME`).
+- An undeclared alias is named as typed (`--output-dir (-d)`), and `--toString` is reported by
+  name (the alias table is prototype-free).
 - **A run never ends with exit 0 while an engine call is still pending.** If the event loop
   drains with the command unfinished, the run fails (the deadline's `E_LIMIT` when it fired,
   `E_RUNTIME` otherwise) and the files being written are removed. `stream` does not hand the

Second 1.1.0 review, M-17 (the user's decision: expose the bridged 1.1
capabilities in 1.1.0). The 11 exports graded "bridged" are now reached:

- canonicalize (canonicalizeZip, CanonicalizeOptions, CanonicalOptions):
  rewrite any archive into the canonical deterministic form without
  recompression; --date (now refused), --keep-comments, --normalize-modes;
  the envelope carries deterministic / canonicalForm measured on the
  OUTPUT; idempotent. modify --compact --canonical (CompactOptions)
- merge (addFromReader, AddFromReaderOptions, RawEntryReader): merge
  archives or split one with filters; sources opened eagerly, every entry
  verified (verify: true, no opt-out); duplicate names refused unless
  --on-duplicate first|last; encrypted or unregistered-method entries
  refused (E_UNSUPPORTED) unless --skip-unsupported
- --range on list, cat, verify (openZipRange, ByteRangeSource,
  ZipRangeReader, rangeSourceFromBytes): fileRangeSource() reads one
  descriptor of a regular file by ranges, so an archive larger than
  --max-input-size is listed, read and verified; the ninth bound
  --max-entry-compressed-size bounds each whole-entry fetch (ADR 0011,
  superseding ADR 0007); inspect keeps reading whole (its determinism
  verdict needs the bytes)
- create-manifest raw entries (addRaw, RawEntryMeta): the payload is
  decoded once and its size and CRC-32 checked before it is written
  (ADR 0012)

17 commands; batch manifests whitelist canonicalize and merge; schema
manifest, completions, USAGE, README, AGENTS, llms.txt, the knowledge
base (§2, §4, §8), SECURITY, CONTRIBUTING, CLAUDE.md, copilot-instructions,
ROADMAP and the release notes follow; docs/data/core-exports.json grades
no export "bridged". Samples canonicalize/01, merge/01, list/05-range
(48 demos, 96 run-all jobs); veraZIP corpus + canonicalized.zip and
merged.zip (41 archives, 37 PASS, 4 XFAIL; the 37 inherited archives
byte-identical). The gate's smoke step reads the command count from
--help.

+
+```bash
+zipnative canonicalize <in.zip> -o <out.zip> [--date epoch|<ISO>] [--keep-comments] [--normalize-modes]
+```
+
+Rewrite an archive from **any** producer into zipnative's canonical deterministic form
+(zipnative 1.1 `canonicalizeZip`) — the "fix" half of `inspect --check canonical-form`. Timestamps
+are pinned, entries sorted by raw name bytes, names re-encoded as UTF-8 (flag bit 11), extra fields
+and comments dropped, version-made-by and internal attributes constant. **No recompression**:
+every payload is copied bit for bit, so an encrypted or corrupt entry travels unchanged (run
+`verify` first when integrity matters). Running it twice yields the same bytes.
+

+|------|---------|-------------|
+| `--input <file>`, `-i` | stdin | Archive path (or the positional) |
+| `--output <file>`, `-o` | — (required) | Output path; `-` = stdout |

+zipnative merge <a.zip> --include 'docs/**' -o <docs.zip>        # split: a filtered copy
+```
+
+Combine archives — or split one with filters — **without recompression** (zipnative 1.1
+`addFromReader`): each entry's compressed bytes travel with its method, CRC, sizes, timestamp,
+attributes, comment and extra fields (Zip64 recomputed). Every source is opened eagerly and
+bounded by `--max-input-size`, and **every entry is verified** (CRC-32 and size, one decompress
+pass) before it is copied — a lying source is refused (`E_DATA`), never laundered, with no
+opt-out. An entry that cannot be verified — encrypted, or a method no registered codec decodes —
+is refused (`E_UNSUPPORTED`) unless `--skip-unsupported` leaves it out.

Exceeding it is `E_LIMIT` with `detail { limit: "maxInputSize", configured, observed }` (CWE-400). It is a CLI-owned bound, not a `ZipLimits` key; `doctor` reports it under `limits`. The streaming paths — `stream`, `crc32`, `inflate` (default), `create --stream` — are constant-memory and are not bounded by it. Random-access commands hold the whole archive in memory, so the bound is also the memory envelope.
 - JSON input size is capped at **50 MB** before `JSON.parse` — `create --from-manifest`, `modify --from-manifest`, `batch --manifest`, `govern verify-issue` drafts. Batch manifests are additionally bounded to **1 000 tasks**. `.zipnativerc.json` is capped at 1 MiB (checked on the open descriptor).
 - **Manifest values** — `batch --manifest` is validated strictly before anything executes: structural violations exit 2 / `E_USAGE`, value violations (bad or duplicate id, non-whitelisted command, forward or unknown `@ref`) exit 1 / `E_INPUT`; only 10 archive commands may appear (never `batch`, `govern`, `schema`, `completion`, `doctor`); a `codec` flag is refused unless the `batch` invocation itself carries `--allow-codec-load`. A manifest has the filesystem access of the user who invokes `batch` — the same trust level as flags typed on the command line, no more.

Malformed flags stay `E_USAGE`; unsafe **data** is `E_INPUT`.
 - Dates are data too: `--date <ISO>` and manifest `date` values are read as **UTC wall-clock**, so the stored DOS fields — and the archive bytes — do not depend on the host time zone. A date outside 1980–2107 is clamped by the engine and reported (`ZIP_TIMESTAMP_CLAMPED`, zipnative 1.1), an error under `--strict`.
 - `--name-encoding <label>` hands the engine a `TextDecoder` (the runtime's own, no table shipped) for names without the UTF-8 flag; the engine decodes **before** `sanitizeEntryPath()`, so a decoded name passes exactly the same guards (zipnative 1.1, CWE-22).

 ### False conformance claims → veraZIP gate
 
-Every archive the CLI writes is validated against **ISO/IEC 21320-1:2015** by `scripts/validate-zip.mjs`, a validator vendored from the engine (`zipnative/scripts/validate-zip.ts`, commit `1e2ab42`, zipnative 1.1.0) that raw-parses the bytes with its own reader and **never imports `zipnative`** — so it cannot attest the engine with the engine. `npm run validate:zip` builds the CLI, drives the built binary to write a 39-archive corpus (35 conformant, including 3 hostile-but-conformant archives — zip-slip, a Windows device name, duplicate paths — that pass the ISO profile and that `extract` must refuse; plus 4 raw-crafted negative canaries the validator must reject with a declared check id), and validates every file: the expected verdict is **35 PASS, 4 XFAIL, 0 FAIL**. An unexpected pass of a canary is fatal, and a coverage canary fails the run if a required check id has no canary. Level 0 always runs; level 1 foreign integrity tools skip visibly when absent and `VERAZIP_REQUIRED=1` fails closed in CI. The gate is blocking in `.github/workflows/verazip.yml` (Linux + Windows, on every push and PR — no path filter) and again before every publish. **Conformance is not safety** — hostile-but-spec-valid archives are exactly why the guards above exist.

 ### Limits (`src/utils/limits.ts`)
 
-Eight individual `--max-*` flags (`LIMIT_FLAGS`, CWE-tagged) rather than a JSON blob: they complete in every shell. zipnative 1.1 has nine `ZipLimits` keys (`LIMIT_KEYS`); the ninth, `maxEntryCompressedSize` (CWE-770), is consulted only by the byte-range reader, which no 1.1.0 command uses, so it is reported with its default by `doctor` / `schema limits` and has no flag (`ENGINE_ONLY_LIMITS`, docs/adr/0007). Values are pre-validated (`E_USAGE` on malformed or zero values), so `ZIP_LIMIT_INVALID` is unreachable from the CLI. **Every bound is finite**: `none` / `inf` are refused since 1.1.0 with a remedy naming an explicit value (docs/adr/0002), and no bound can come from a config file (docs/adr/0001). `parseLimitFlags` returns `undefined` when none is set so the engine's defaults apply untouched; `effectiveLimits` merges for `doctor` and `inflate`'s default `--max-output`. The bounds also apply on the **write** side (`maxEntries`, `maxNameBytes`, `maxCommentBytes`, `maxExtraFieldBytes` on `create` / `modify`, `maxCentralDirectoryBytes` on `modify`).
+Nine individual `--max-*` flags (`LIMIT_FLAGS`, CWE-tagged, one per `ZipLimits` key) rather than a JSON blob: they complete in every shell. The ninth, `--max-entry-compressed-size` (`maxEntryCompressedSize`, CWE-770), bounds the whole-entry fetches of the byte-range reader `--range` uses (docs/adr/0011, superseding 0007). Values are pre-validated (`E_USAGE` on malformed or zero values), so `ZIP_LIMIT_INVALID` is unreachable from the CLI. **Every bound is finite**: `none` / `inf` are refused since 1.1.0 with a remedy naming an explicit value (docs/adr/0002), and no bound can come from a config file (docs/adr/0001). `parseLimitFlags` returns `undefined` when none is set so the engine's defaults apply untouched; `effectiveLimits` merges for `doctor` and `inflate`'s default `--max-output`. The bounds also apply on the **write** side (`maxEntries`, `maxNameBytes`, `maxCommentBytes`, `maxExtraFieldBytes` on `create` / `modify`, `maxCentralDirectoryBytes` on `modify`).
 
 `--max-input-size <size>` (global; default 4 GiB; always finite) is CLI-owned, **not** a `ZipLimits` key: it bounds every *buffered* read through one descriptor — stdin (byte-counted, the read aborts), a regular file (size checked on the open descriptor, read to that size only, short reads looped) and a pipe / FIFO / device (byte-counted like stdin, so `/dev/zero` is refused, not read whole) — for `list`, `inspect`, `verify`, `extract`, `cat`, `modify`, `create --stdin-name` (buffered), `inflate --sync` and `govern verify-issue`. Exceeding it is `E_LIMIT` with `detail { limit: "maxInputSize", configured, observed }`. The streaming commands are not bounded by it. `doctor` reports it under `limits` (`data.maxInputSize`) and counts it as an override.

The **Reach** column grades each row honestly (per the 1.1.0 coverage audit): **capability** — the behaviour behind the export is exercisable from a command; **type** — re-exported (or aliased) for typing only, nothing user-visible depends on it beyond `tsc`; **bridged** — re-exported so the ledger is complete, but no command reaches it (none since the second 1.1.0 review exposed the range reader, canonicalisation and raw copy). `node scripts/sync-engine-data.mjs --engine <zipnative checkout>` re-derives the engine half of both data files on a bump and names every row a human must complete.

 ## Context and Problem Statement

+# Range reading of local archives, and the compressed-entry bound gets its flag
+
+## Context and Problem Statement
+
+Every random-access command loads the whole archive into memory, bounded by `--max-input-size`
+(4 GiB by default). zipnative 1.1 adds `openZipRange()`: a reader over a `ByteRangeSource`
+(`{ size, read(offset, length) }`) that parses the central directory and fetches each entry by
+range, bounded by a ninth `ZipLimits` key, `maxEntryCompressedSize` (1 GiB + 1 MiB, CWE-770).
+ADR 0007 declined a flag for that key because no command read through the range reader. The
+second 1.1.0 review found the reader worth exposing: it is the only way to list, read or verify
+an archive larger than memory.
+
+## Decision Outcome
+
+- `list`, `cat` and `verify` take `--range`. The CLI builds the `ByteRangeSource` itself over
+  **one descriptor of a regular file** (`fileRangeSource()` in `src/utils/io.ts`): the size is the
+  one checked on that descriptor, each read is bounds-checked and loops over short reads, and a
+  file that shrinks mid-read is `E_IO`. stdin, a pipe or a device has no random access and is
+  refused (`E_USAGE`). The engine owns every byte of structure; the CLI owns the I/O — the same
+  split as everywhere else.
+- Under `--range`, `--max-input-size` does not apply (nothing is buffered whole). The new
+  `--max-entry-compressed-size` (the ninth `--max-*` flag, `LIMIT_FLAGS`) bounds every
+  whole-entry fetch — `cat --raw`, `verify`, a codec without a streaming decoder. A streamed read
+  (`cat`) holds one chunk at a time.
+- `inspect` does not take `--range`: its determinism verdict (`analyzeDeterminism`) is measured
+  over the archive's bytes, so a range-read `inspect` would be a flag with half an effect.
+- No network source: `--url` stays out (offline, always). The range reader serves local files
+  only.
+- This supersedes ADR 0007: the flag now has an effect, so it exists.
+
+### Consequences
+
+- Good: an archive of any size can be listed, read entry by entry and verified with bounded
+  memory; the ninth bound is configurable like the other eight.
+- Neutral: `verify --range` verifies entry by entry (`verifyEntry`), with the same archive rule
+  as `verifyZip` (`entryPasses()`), after an eager structural open.

+# Copies without recompression are verified first; canonicalisation decodes nothing
+
+## Context and Problem Statement
+
+zipnative 1.1 can write compressed bytes it did not produce:
+
+- `addFromReader()` transplants an entry from an open archive (merge, split, repack).
+- `addRaw()` adds a pre-compressed payload whose metadata the caller vouches for.
+- `canonicalizeZip()` rewrites an archive from any producer into the canonical deterministic
+  form.
+
+None of them recompresses. Each could therefore re-emit a lying entry — a CRC or size that does
+not match the payload — as the CLI's own output. `modify` already settled this rule for
+re-emitted entries: verify every one, with no opt-out.
+
+## Decision Outcome
+
+- **`merge`** opens every source eagerly (structure first) and copies each entry with
+  `addFromReader(…, { verify: true })`: one decompress pass checks CRC-32 and size before the
+  copy. A lie is `E_DATA` with `entryName`, and nothing is written. The engine would copy two
+  kinds of entry unverified, so the CLI refuses them (`E_UNSUPPORTED`), or leaves them out with
+  `--skip-unsupported`:
+  - an encrypted entry;
+  - an entry whose method no registered codec decodes.
+
+  A duplicate name is refused unless `--on-duplicate first|last` picks one; the same directory
+  met twice is one directory.
+- **Manifest `raw` entries** (`create --from-manifest`, `addRaw`) are not vouched for by the
+  manifest. A manifest is data. The CLI decodes the payload once through the registered codec,
+  bounded by the declared size and `--max-entry-size`, and requires the declared size and CRC-32
+  (`ZIP_SIZE_MISMATCH` / `ZIP_CRC_MISMATCH` otherwise). A method without a synchronous decoder is
+  `ZIP_UNSUPPORTED_METHOD`. `raw` saves the recompression, never the verification.
+- **`canonicalize`** (and `modify --compact --canonical`) decodes nothing: it rewrites the
+  metadata around unchanged payloads, so a corrupt entry travels unchanged. That is stated in its
+  help, the README and AGENTS.md (run `verify` first). The output's determinism is measured, not
+  assumed: the envelope carries `analyzeDeterminism()` on the bytes written.
+
+### Consequences
+
+- Good: no command turns an archive's lie into the CLI's own output; the merge and raw paths
+  cost one decode pass, never a recompression.
+- Neutral: `canonicalize` is a metadata rewrite. Its integrity guarantee is the source's, which
+  `verify` checks.

 # zipnative-cli — Samples
 
-A comprehensive collection of runnable samples covering every command of zipnative-cli, organized by command: **45 demos**, each a **`.sh` + `.ps1` pair** with identical behaviour, plus a dependency-free runner (`run-all.js`, **83 jobs**) that exercises the same invocations from Node.js.

 > **Generated archives are not committed.** All output goes to `samples/output/` which is git-ignored. The committed inputs under `samples/input/` are tiny, deterministic and text-only — except one 4 KiB pattern binary and one 139-byte foreign archive with legacy Shift_JIS names (see [Committed input archive](#committed-input-archive)) — so every `--deterministic` build hashes the same on every machine.

Subject: [PATCH 14/22] fix(review): close the counter-verification findings of
 the 1.1.0 review

- canonicalize counts hostile names (unsafeNames) and encrypted entries in
  its envelope and warns: reproducible is not safe to extract
- manifest raw entries refuse bytes trailing a DEFLATE stream; a stored
  payload must be exactly the declared size
- ZIPNATIVE_* environment switches accept the same eight spellings as the
  flags (ZIPNATIVE_DRY_RUN=true was silently off); anything else is E_USAGE
- docs: raw, --range, --max-entry-compressed-size, the canonicalize
  envelope, nine --max-* bounds, Keep a Changelog headings, final figures
- release-notes/draft/review-v1.1.0.md: findings, verdicts, commits,
  token table and the counter-verification outcome

+# zipnative-cli 1.1.0 — second review: findings, verdicts, fixes
+
+_Draft for the maintainer (HITL). Branch `release/v1.1.0`; reviewed at `e2e820e`, fixed in
+`aba500a` → `0536020`._
+
+## Method
+
+- **Two independent reviewers**, working read-only, each on all seven criteria, from different
+  angles:
+  - **A — conformance and product.** Standards against pkinative-cli and pdfnative-cli, coverage
+    of the core, the AI instructions, every documented figure checked against the binary, and
+    measured token cost.
+  - **B — adversarial.** The surface diff from the published 1.0.0 to 1.1.0, a hardening matrix
+    against pkinative-cli, and attacks on the binary and the workflows.
+- **A third, separate agent (the verifier)** reproduced every finding itself and ruled it
+  CONFIRMED, REJECTED or DEFER.
+- **Framing decisions given to all three agents** — challenged only if shown unsafe:
+  - the three input narrowings are security fixes (ADRs 0001–0003);
+  - HITL applies to GitHub writes;
+  - `dosTimeMode` is not adopted (ADR 0008);
+  - runners use `-latest`;
+  - no `fast-check` (ADR 0010).
+- **Maintainer decision (2026-10-18):** expose the 11 core exports still graded "bridged" in
+  1.1.0 (M-17).
+
+**Totals:** 31 findings — 30 merged, plus one the verifier found (N-1). 23 confirmed (three of
+them in part), 5 deferred, 1 rejected, 2 rejected in part.
+
+## The seven criteria — verdict after the fixes
+
+| # | Criterion | Verdict | Evidence |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| 1 | 2026 state of the art, native philosophy | **Met; family hygiene gaps deferred** | Supply-chain parity is reached or exceeded — attested five-job release, SBOMs, harden-runner everywhere, CodeQL, zizmor, actionlint, reuse, OSV, rulesets as code, SECURITY-INSIGHTS, security.txt. Added: a Node security floor and a gate step that enforces offline. Deferred to 1.2: `docs.yml`, a Deno/Bun job, a PR template, `THREAT_MODEL.md` (M-16). |
+| 2 | No breaking change unless justified | **Met** | Reviewer B's surface diff found **no undocumented break**. The narrowings (switch values, batch modes, `extract --entry`, `--workers`) are security or typo fixes, each listed under CHANGELOG `### Security` with its migration. The migration notes are now exact (M-25). |
+| 3 | Full core coverage | **Met** | 106 / 106 exports reachable. `canonicalize`, `merge`, `--range` and manifest `raw` entries close the last 11 (M-17). `core-exports.json` grades none `bridged`. |
+| 4 | AI instructions current and economical | **Met; size budget deferred** | CLAUDE.md, copilot-instructions and AGENTS.md are corrected (M-11, M-12, M-13). The 94 KB AI-facing text is a 1.2 target with stated budgets (M-14, M-15). |
+| 5 | Hardening at pkinative level | **Met** | Switch values are now strict (M-01). Every read is bounded, including batch verify (N-1). The deadline holds on stalled inputs (M-03). Escaping is per field, invisible characters included. A pipe read is bounded in memory. No registry code runs next to the signing identity. |
+| 6 | Documentation factual and complete | **Met** | Every count is pinned by tests: commands, demos, diagnostics, corpus, ADRs, links, schemas against real output (`schema-conformance.test.ts`). |
+| 7 | Autonomous agent driving, token savings | **Met** | See "Token measurements" below. `schema manifest` now publishes arity, repeatability, path flags and operands (M-05). Errors and summaries carry the facts an agent used to need a second call for (M-04, M-06). |

+**Deliberate deviation from the plan.** `--range` ships on `list`, `cat` and `verify`, not on

+## Verification
+
+- `node scripts/gate.mjs --publish --require-all` — 15 / 15 (adds `node-floor`).
+- Tests: 1368 passed, 9 skipped, in 74 files. Coverage 95.92 / 91.77 / 97.78 / 96.83 against
+  thresholds of 95 / 91 / 97 / 96.
+- veraZIP: 41 archives, 37 PASS + 4 XFAIL. The 37 archives inherited from 1.0.0 are
+  byte-identical.
+- `node samples/run-all.js --clean`: 96 / 96 jobs.
+- **Counter-verification.** A fourth, independent agent re-ran the original scenario of every
+  confirmed finding on the built binary (`0536020`). Every one is **closed** (M-19 was closed in
+  part and has been completed since). It found **no regression** in the samples, the documented
+  invocations, healthy runs under `--timeout`, or multi-line output. It raised three minor
+  findings, all fixed in the closing commit:
+  1. `canonicalize` carried hostile names over silently. It now counts them in `unsafeNames`
+     (along with `encrypted`) and prints a `warning:` line. ADR 0012 and the docs now say that
+     reproducible is not safe to extract.
+  2. A manifest `raw` DEFLATE payload could hide bytes after the end of its stream. Those bytes
+     are now refused, and a stored payload must be exactly the declared size.
+  3. Some docs did not mention `raw`, `--range` or `--max-entry-compressed-size`.
+
+  Nits fixed in the same commit:
+  - The `ZIPNATIVE_*` environment switches now take the same eight spellings as the flags.
+    `ZIPNATIVE_DRY_RUN=true` used to be silently off, so the run wrote its output.
+  - Smaller fixes:
+    - the `--dry-run` help line;
+    - the batch sample comments;
+    - two "eight `--max-*`" leftovers;
+    - the `canonicalize --date` message;
+    - merge's internal-duplicate message;
+    - the CHANGELOG, which now uses Keep a Changelog types only.
+
+  Noted and left as they are:
+  - `schema manifest` does not list value enums (`--on-duplicate`, `--order`).
+  - `detail.failedEntries` is a comma-joined string, because `ErrorDetail` is scalar.
+  - `verify --range --strict` reports a strict diagnostic only in the error message.
+  - Batch directory mode validates create flags per row. This predates 1.1.0.

Subject: [PATCH 15/22] chore(agents): track the release-audit skill and the
 shared Claude Code settings
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- .claude/skills/release-audit/: the family's pre-release audit ported to
  zipnative-cli (two auditors, an adversarial verifier, an autonomy pass,
  a GO/NO-GO ledger under .audit/<version>/); the negative-space checks are
  the CLAUDE.md non-negotiables, each as a command on the built binary
- .claude/settings.json tracked: attribution off, npm publish / git push /
  git tag / gh writes denied for both shell tools; per-machine allowances
  move to .claude/settings.local.json (git-ignored, with .audit/)
- tests/tools/agent-settings.test.ts pins attribution, the deny list and
  the ignore rules
- CONTRIBUTING §Release, AGENTS §6, CLAUDE.md, the knowledge base, the
  CHANGELOG and the release note name the audit step

+
+# Release audit
+
+Audit the release described by `$0` (default: the newest `release-notes/v*.md`) against everything that changed since `$1` (default: the previous `v*` tag from `git describe --tags --abbrev=0`, or the root commit for the first release). The audit produces findings, never fixes: every fix goes through the normal edit → gate loop afterwards, and the ledger records what was fixed.
+
+Read `ledger.md` first for the ledger and verdict formats. Each phase below hands a template to the agents it spawns; the agents return findings, you file them.
+
+## Ledger location
+
+`.audit/<version>/` — git-ignored (check `git check-ignore -v .audit/<version>/x.md` prints the rule before writing; it is NOT under `test-output/`, which Claude Code is denied to Read), so nothing here is ever committed. One Markdown file per report: brief, auditor-a, auditor-b, verifier-1, auditor-d, verifier-2, then the ledger and the verdict (formats in `ledger.md`).
+
+## Brief
+
+Before Phase A, write `.audit/<version>/brief.md`: the criteria the release is judged on, the decisions already recorded (every ADR under `docs/adr/`, the deferred items in `ROADMAP.md`, the engine-side drafts under `.github/drafts/`) and the items a previous round settled. Every agent below receives the brief with its template, so a settled item is not re-filed — a finding that shows one of those decisions is *unsafe* stays admissible, and names the decision.
+
+## Phase A and B — two auditors, in parallel
+
+Spawn both with the Agent tool in the same message (distinct angles; neither sees the other's report):
+
+- **Auditor A — claims vs code.** Template: `auditor-a.md`. Every claim in the release note and the top CHANGELOG entry is checked against `src/commands/`, `src/utils/`, `src/core-bridge/` and `tests/`; at least one assertion per claim is *reproduced with a command* (a test, a script, the BUILT binary `node dist/cli.cjs …`), not inferred from reading. Its brief includes the refusal posture and the non-negotiables of CLAUDE.md §Project philosophy (one runtime dependency, no ZIP parsing in `src/`, every engine import through the bridge, offline, no security default loosened, a symlink never materialised, `--deterministic` bytes never post-processed).
+- **Auditor B — help text, the surface tables and the release surfaces.** Template: `auditor-b.md`. Every command's `--help` against `COMMANDS` in `src/commands/completion.ts` and the flag tables of `src/utils/flags.ts`, `schema manifest`, the engine-export map `docs/data/core-exports.json` and KB §8, `docs/data/errors.json`, the samples (`samples/run-all.js`) and the veraZIP corpus, the README, AGENTS.md and llms.txt, the publish workflow, the CHANGELOG, the release note and the governance files — every surface a human, an agent or the release pipeline reads — compared with the behaviour that actually shipped.
+
+Both write their report in the finding format of `ledger.md` (id, severity, claim, evidence command, observed, expected).
+
+## Phase C — adversarial verifier
+
+Spawn one verifier (template: `verifier.md`) with both reports. It re-derives every finding from scratch — re-runs the evidence command, reads the cited lines — and stamps each one `CONFIRMED | DOWNGRADED | REJECTED | DUPLICATE` with a one-line justification. Auditors have about 10 % false findings; the verifier exists to keep them out of the ledger. A finding the verifier cannot reproduce is `REJECTED`, not "probably fine".
+
+## Phase D — agent-autonomy pass, then verify
+
+**The mechanical half is `npm run gate`; do not re-derive it.** That every command of `COMMANDS` has a USAGE block naming every flag it declares, that the README and the knowledge base list the same commands and flags, that every runtime export of zipnative is mapped in `docs/data/core-exports.json` and KB §8 and re-exported by the bridge (`tests/docs/consistency.test.ts`), that `schema manifest` publishes what `--help` declares (the gate's `smoke` step), that every sample still runs (`samples`, 96 jobs) and that every archive the CLI writes is conformant (`verazip`, `verazip-validate`) is decided on every run. Cite the test or the gate step instead of re-deriving it.
+
+Spawn Auditor D (template: `auditor-b.md`, section "Autonomy pass") for what no test can decide: *can an agent that has only the published surfaces (`zipnative --help`, `zipnative <command> --help`, `zipnative schema manifest | errors | <subject>`, `zipnative doctor`, the README, AGENTS.md, llms.txt and `samples/`) drive every feature the release note names without reading `src/`?* Is each sentence of the help text true, is the advice still the best advice, and after a provoked failure do `error.remedy` in the envelope and the `cli.remedy` of that code in `schema errors` tell the agent what to do next? Then a second verifier pass (template: `verifier.md`) over its findings.
+
+## Phase E — GO / NO-GO
+
+Merge the confirmed findings into the ledger, then write the verdict file (both formats are in `ledger.md`):
+
+- **GO** — no CONFIRMED finding of severity `blocker`; every `major` has a fix commit or an explicit maintainer waiver in the ledger.
+- **NO-GO** — otherwise. List the blockers first, each with its evidence command, so the fix loop starts from the ledger, not from memory.
+
+Report the verdict, the counts per severity and per stamp, and the ledger path. Do not push, tag, open a PR or publish: the maintainer takes over from `GO` — squash-merges the `release/vX.Y.Z` pull request, publishes the GitHub Release (which creates the tag), and `.github/workflows/publish.yml` publishes to npm.
+
+## Known blind spots
+
+Add a check for each of these to the auditor briefs; they are where an audit of a CLI over an engine misses something.
+
+- Help text drifts from the tables: a flag added to `COMMANDS` (`src/commands/completion.ts`) or to `COMMAND_BOOLEAN_FLAGS` (`src/utils/flags.ts`) but described with a stale default or a false sentence in `src/index.ts` passes `tests/docs/consistency.test.ts`, which proves presence, not truth.
+- The export map is generated (`npm run sync:engine`; `--check` runs in the gate only when an engine checkout is present): a map regenerated after the code but never reviewed proves consistency, not correctness. Read the `via` of each export the release adds against the command that claims it.
+- `samples/run-all.js` asserts byte identity only for the deterministic and stream-parity jobs; a behaviour change on a flag no sample exercises is invisible to it. The veraZIP corpus carries no committed digest list of the previous release: byte identity with it is a comparison the maintainer prepares (`.audit/<version>/corpus-<previous>.sha256`, auditor-a.md §4).
+- The non-negotiables are negative properties: no test looks everywhere for a second dependency, a `PK` signature parsed in `src/`, a socket, a symlink written to disk or a post-processed `--deterministic` byte unless one looks for it. Each needs its command (auditor-a.md §4).
+- Refusal posture: a config file must not relax a check (`CONFIG_KEYS` in `src/utils/config.ts` is presentation-only), a switch value must be strict (`--flag=flase` and `ZIPNATIVE_*=flase` are usage errors), `--codec` is argv-only and a manifest needs `--allow-codec-load`. Try each from a planted `.zipnativerc.json`, the command line, the environment and a manifest task, not only from the tests.
+- CI assumptions live outside the repo: Trusted Publishing needs the `npm-publish` environment, the `release: published` trigger and the npm client `publish.yml` pins by SHA-512; `tests/tools/workflows.test.ts` pins the file's shape, not the GitHub or npmjs settings. A green local gate proves nothing about the publish job.
+- Auditors have ~10 % false findings — never file an unverified finding, and never let a `REJECTED` one reach the verdict.
+- `.claude/settings.json` denies the shell tools `npm publish`, `git push`, `git tag` and the `gh` writes (`pr`, `issue`, `release`, `api --method POST`). An auditor never needs them: a finding is a row in a file under `.audit/`, written with Write or Edit — never a GitHub write (`.github/AGENT_RULES.md`).

+# Auditor A — claims versus code
+
+You audit one release of zipnative-cli. Your angle is narrow on purpose: **is every claim the release makes true in the code that ships?** Another auditor covers the help text, the surface tables and the release surfaces; do not spend time there.
+
+## Inputs
+
+- The release note (`release-notes/v<version>.md`) and the top entry of `CHANGELOG.md`.
+- The brief (`.audit/<version>/brief.md`): the criteria and the decisions already recorded. A settled item is not a finding unless you show it unsafe.
+- `git diff <previous-tag>..HEAD --stat` and the per-area diff for anything a claim points at (for a first release, the whole tree).
+- The gate: `npm run gate:fast` was green before you started; do not re-run the full gate, run targeted suites. `dist/cli.cjs` is built (`npm run build` if `node dist/cli.cjs --version` fails). `npm run corpus:zip` has written the adversarial archives under `test-output/zip/` (read them only through `node dist/cli.cjs <path>`; the directory is denied to Read).
+
+## Method
+
+1. Enumerate the claims. One line each: commands, flags, envelope fields (`code`, `zipCode`, `remedy`, `entryName`, `detail`, `config`, `diagnostics`), exit codes, the `ZIP_*` → `E_*` mapping, refusals, bounds (`--max-*`, `--max-input-size`, `--timeout`), engine (zipnative) behaviour inherited, sample or corpus changes. Number them `A-01`, `A-02`, …
+2. For each claim, locate the evidence: the command module (`src/commands/<name>.ts`), the helper (`src/utils/`), the engine symbol it reaches (`src/core-bridge/index.ts`), the test that proves it (`tests/commands/`, `tests/utils/`, `tests/integration/`, `tests/fuzz/`, `tests/docs/`, `tests/scripts/`, `tests/tools/`), the sample that demonstrates it (`samples/<command>/`).
+3. **Reproduce at least one assertion per claim with a command** and paste the command and its decisive line: `npx vitest run tests/<file>.test.ts -t "<name>"`, `node dist/cli.cjs <command> … --json` (read the stderr envelope and the exit code), `node samples/run-all.js --category <name>`. A claim you could only confirm by reading is `unverified`, and says so.
+4. Check the negative space — each one with a command, not a reading. The expected code of every refusal comes from `node dist/cli.cjs schema errors --json`, not from memory.
+   - "one runtime dependency" needs `npm ls --omit=dev --all` to list `zipnative` and nothing else, and `src/core-bridge/index.ts` to be the only module importing it (`git grep -n "from 'zipnative" src/` — `src/utils/version.ts` may read `zipnative/package.json`, nothing else).
+   - "no ZIP parsing in `src/`" needs `git grep -n -i -E "0x04034b50|0x02014b50|0x06054b50|PK\\x03\\x04" src/` to come back empty; the raw parsers are `scripts/validate-zip.mjs` and `tests/helpers/raw-zip-builder.ts` only.
+   - "offline" needs `git grep -n -E "node:(http|https|net|dns|tls|http2|dgram)|fetch\(|WebSocket" src/` to come back empty and `node scripts/gate.mjs --only bundle-check` to pass (the bundle probe denies the network built-ins).
+   - "no security default loosened" needs, over the corpus: `extract test-output/zip/hostile-zip-slip.zip --output-dir <empty tmp> --json` refused with the traversal code and the directory still empty; the same for `hostile-device-name.zip`; `hostile-duplicate-paths.zip` refused under the default duplicate policy; `cat test-output/zip/neg-declared-bomb.zip --entry <name>` stopped by a limit; `--max-entries none` exit 2; `batch --task verify` with `--max-input-size` smaller than an input refused; `modify --help` listing no opt-out of the re-emission check and `modify` over `neg-cd-mismatch.zip` refused.
+   - "a symlink is never materialised" needs the symlink suites (`npx vitest run -t symlink`) and one built-binary run: an archive carrying a store-method entry with `S_IFLNK` external attributes (build it with `node -e` through the engine, or take the one `tests/helpers/raw-zip-builder.ts` builds in its suite), extracted with and without `--skip-symlinks` / `--allow-symlinks`, then `ls -l` of the output directory showing no `l` entry.
+   - "`--deterministic` bytes are never post-processed" needs two `create … --deterministic` runs whose SHA-256 are equal (`node -e` over both files), the pairs `npm run corpus:zip` asserts, and the archives inherited from the previous release compared against the maintainer's digest list (`.audit/<version>/corpus-<previous>.sha256`); a missing list leaves the claim `unverified`, never `holds`.
+   - "switch values are strict" needs `node dist/cli.cjs list x.zip --overwite` exit 2; `create <dir> -o x.zip --overwrite=flase --json` exit 2 with `E_USAGE` and the value absent from the message; `ZIPNATIVE_DRY_RUN=flase node dist/cli.cjs list x.zip` exit 2; `ZIPNATIVE_JSON=yes` behaving as `--json`.
+   - "a config file never relaxes a check" needs a scratch directory with a `.zipnativerc.json` setting `overwrite`, `skip-unsafe`, `max-entries`, `codec` and `allow-symlinks`, and a run of any command in it refused with `E_USAGE` naming the file and the key; then one setting only `json`, `pretty`, `quiet`, `no-color`, `progress`, `strict`, `long`, `summary`, `format`, `fields`, applied and named in the envelope's `config` field; and `--no-config` ignoring it.
+   - "overwrite is refused uniformly" needs `create <dir> -o existing.zip` refused without `--overwrite`, and `--overwrite` over a symlink replacing the link with its target untouched (`ls -l` before and after).
+   - "`--codec` is argv-only" needs `{"codec":"./x.js"}` in a config refused, and a manifest task carrying `codec` refused unless `batch --allow-codec-load` is given.
+   - "no autonomous GitHub write" needs `node dist/cli.cjs govern verify-issue <draft> --json` to pass on every draft under `.github/drafts/`, and `git grep -n -E "gh (pr|issue|release)" .github/workflows scripts` to show nothing that writes.
+5. Check the release note's own bookkeeping: version in `package.json`, `package-lock.json` and `CITATION.cff`; the `zipnative` range in `dependencies`; `node dist/cli.cjs --version --json` printing both; one date in `CHANGELOG.md`, the release note, `CITATION.cff` and `.github/SECURITY-INSIGHTS.yml` (`last-updated`); `docs/.well-known/security.txt` `Expires` in the future; the release title.
+
+## Output
+
+Write `.audit/<version>/auditor-a.md` using the finding format of `ledger.md`. Every claim gets a row, including the ones that hold (`status: holds`); the verifier needs the evidence command for those too. Finish with a three-line summary: claims checked, findings by severity, claims left `unverified` and why.
+
+Do not fix anything. Do not push, tag or publish. Never put `npm publish`, `git push`, `git tag <name>` or a `gh` write in a shell command — `.claude/settings.json` denies them, and the audit never needs them.

+# Auditor B — help text, the surface tables and the release surfaces
+
+You audit one release of zipnative-cli. Your angle: **does everything a reader, an agent or the release pipeline consumes describe the behaviour that actually shipped?** Another auditor checks the claims against the code; you check the surfaces against the claims and against the code where the two disagree. The brief (`.audit/<version>/brief.md`) lists the decisions already recorded; a settled item is not a finding unless you show it unsafe.
+
+## Surfaces to cover
+
+| Surface | Where | What to check |
+|---|---|---|
+| Help text | `src/index.ts` (`<NAME>_USAGE`, `GLOBAL_USAGE`), `node dist/cli.cjs <command> --help` | Every command of `COMMANDS` (`src/commands/completion.ts`) has a help block; every flag in `COMMANDS` and `GLOBAL_FLAGS` is described, with its real default; no flag is described that `assertInvocation` refuses; every flag the release adds says what the code does |
+| Completion and schema | `src/commands/completion.ts`, `src/commands/schema.ts`, `node dist/cli.cjs schema manifest --no-config`, `schema list` | The same commands and flags as `COMMANDS`; arity, repeatable flags, path flags and operands published; the schema `$id` embeds the package version; the subject count matches the docs |
+| Errors and remedies | `node dist/cli.cjs schema errors --json`, `docs/data/errors.json` | Every `ZIP_*` code and diagnostic the CLI can print is listed with its `E_*` class; every `cli.remedy` says what the thrown message implies; `raisedBy` names real commands |
+| Export map | `docs/data/core-exports.json`, `docs/KNOWLEDGE_BASE.md` §8 | Regenerated (`node scripts/sync-engine-data.mjs --check` when `../zipnative` is checked out, else cite `npx vitest run tests/docs/consistency.test.ts`); the row count matches the engine's export count; nothing graded `bridged` that a command could reach; each `via` names a command that really calls the export |
+| Samples | `samples/`, `node samples/run-all.js --clean` | Every job passes; every command has a `.sh` and a `.ps1` pair that say the same thing; every sample the release note names exists |
+| veraZIP | `npm run validate:zip`, `scripts/generate-zip-corpus.mjs` | PASS and XFAIL counts match the docs; the corpus exercises every writer the release adds; a changed corpus is declared in the CHANGELOG |
+| README, AGENTS.md, llms.txt | grep `^## ` first, read by section | Every example runs as written against `dist/cli.cjs`; the command list matches `COMMANDS`; the one-dependency, offline and "no ZIP parsing" statements are true; every file llms.txt links ships in the tarball (`node scripts/package-files.mjs`) |
+| Publish workflow | `.github/workflows/publish.yml` | Triggered on `release: published` (and `workflow_dispatch`) only; guard → build → publish → attest → consumer; the `npm-publish` environment on `publish` only; `id-token: write` on `publish` and `attest` only; actions pinned by SHA; the publish gate runs in `build`; SBOMs by `npm sbom` in `attest`; `npm audit signatures` in `consumer` |
+| CHANGELOG and release note | `CHANGELOG.md`, `release-notes/v<version>.md` | Same version, same date, same claims; every user-visible change in `git diff <previous-tag>..HEAD` is named; Keep a Changelog types only; every narrowed input sits under `### Security` with its migration; the zipnative version the release is built on is stated |
+| Governance | `SECURITY.md`, `docs/.well-known/security.txt`, `.github/SECURITY-INSIGHTS.yml`, `.github/ai-governance.json`, `.github/AGENT_RULES.md` | The same reporting channel everywhere; `Expires` in the future; no statement the workflows do not back; `node dist/cli.cjs govern policy --json` equals the JSON (`tests/utils/governance-sync.test.ts`) |
+
+## Method
+
+1. Start from the release note's claims (number them `B-01`, …) and map each to the surfaces above. A claim with no surface is a finding (`major` when the feature is public).
+2. For each surface, run the regenerator where one exists and diff; where none exists, read the surface and the code side by side. Quote the line numbers.
+3. Reproduce at least one assertion per surface with a command (`node samples/run-all.js --clean`, `node scripts/sync-engine-data.mjs --check`, `npx vitest run tests/docs`, `node dist/cli.cjs <command> --help`, a `node -e` over a JSON surface).
+
+## Autonomy pass (Phase D)
+
+When invoked for Phase D, ignore the table above and answer one question: **can an agent that has only the published surfaces use every feature without reading `src/`?** For every feature in the release note, write the command you would run from `zipnative --help`, `zipnative <command> --help`, `zipnative schema manifest | errors | <subject>`, `zipnative doctor`, the README, AGENTS.md, llms.txt and `samples/` alone, then run it against `dist/cli.cjs` with the inputs of `tests/fixtures/interop/`, `samples/input/` and `test-output/zip/` (after `npm run corpus:zip`; read those archives only through the binary). A command that needs `src/` to get right is a finding; name the sentence that was missing. Then provoke one failure per command and check that `error.remedy` in the envelope, and the `cli.remedy` of that `zipCode` in `schema errors`, tell the agent what to do next. Measure the token cost of the loop in bytes (`--summary`, `--fields`, compact `--json` against text) on the tasks the previous review measured, so the "token gain" claim is a number, not a feeling.
+
+## Output
+
+Write `.audit/<version>/auditor-b.md` (or `auditor-d.md` for the autonomy pass) in the finding format of `ledger.md`, every row with its evidence command. Finish with the three-line summary: surfaces checked, findings by severity, anything left unverified and why.
+
+Do not fix anything. Do not push, tag or publish. Never put `npm publish`, `git push`, `git tag <name>` or a `gh` write in a shell command — `.claude/settings.json` denies them, and the audit never needs them.

+# Ledger and verdict formats
+
+Everything lives under `.audit/<version>/` (git-ignored). Plain Markdown, one table per file, so review and grep both work.
+
+## Finding format (auditors)
+
+One row per claim or surface, including the ones that hold:
+
+| id | severity | claim / surface | evidence command | observed | expected | status |
+|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
+| A-03 | major | "`--overwrite=flase` is `E_USAGE`, never ON" | `node dist/cli.cjs create samples/input/text -o x.zip --overwrite=flase --json` | exit 2, `E_USAGE`, the value not echoed | exit 2 before any write | holds |
+| B-07 | blocker | `list --help` describes `--range` | `node dist/cli.cjs list --help` | absent | present | finding |
+
+- `id` — `A-`, `B-`, `D-` (autonomy pass) or `V-` (raised by a verifier), zero-padded to two digits.
+- `severity` — `blocker` (a shipped claim is false, a security default is loosened, a config key relaxes a check, a symlink is materialised, `--deterministic` bytes change, a socket opens, a public surface is wrong, a gate step or the publish job would fail), `major` (a user or an agent is misled, no test catches it), `minor` (wording, ordering, a stale example that still behaves), `note` (observation, no action).
+- `evidence command` — the exact command; the verifier re-runs it verbatim. A row without one is `unverified`.
+- `status` — `holds`, `finding`, `unverified`.
+
+## Verifier format
+
+The auditor table plus two columns:
+
+| … | stamp | justification |
+|---|---|---|
+| … | CONFIRMED | re-ran the command; the flag is in `COMMANDS` at src/commands/completion.ts:212 and absent from `LIST_USAGE` |
+| … | DOWNGRADED → minor | real, but `tests/docs/consistency.test.ts` fails on it — cannot ship silently |
+| … | REJECTED | the flag is described under the shared read options; the help block lists it |
+| … | DUPLICATE of B-02 | same missing sentence, different command |
+
+## Ledger (`ledger.md`)
+
+Only `CONFIRMED` and `DOWNGRADED` findings, sorted by severity then id, with two more columns:
+
+| id | severity | claim / surface | evidence command | fix | waiver |
+|---|---|---|---|---|---|
+
+- `fix` — the commit hash that resolved it, or `open`.
+- `waiver` — empty, or the maintainer's one-line reason for shipping with it (only `major` and below may be waived).
+
+Above the table: the tally per severity and per stamp, the previous tag, the HEAD hash audited, the zipnative version the release is built on, and the date.
+
+## Verdict (`verdict.md`)
+
+```
+Verdict: GO | NO-GO
+Release: v<version>   HEAD: <hash>   Previous: <tag>   Engine: zipnative <version>   Date: <YYYY-MM-DD>
+Blockers open: <n>   Majors open: <n>   Waived: <n>
+Findings: <confirmed> confirmed, <downgraded> downgraded, <rejected> rejected, <duplicate> duplicate
+Next: <the one command the maintainer runs next — the fix loop, or the gate>
+```
+
+Then the open blockers, one per line, each with its evidence command.

+# Verifier — adversarial re-derivation
+
+You receive one or two auditor reports for a zipnative-cli release. Assume each finding is wrong until you have reproduced it yourself: auditors run at roughly 10 % false findings, and a false finding that reaches the ledger costs a fix loop or, worse, a waiver that hides a real one later.
+
+## Method, per finding
+
+1. Re-run the evidence command exactly as written. If it is missing, the finding is `REJECTED` (reason: no evidence) — do not invent one.
+2. Read the cited lines yourself (`Read` with the offset, or `git show HEAD:<path>`), and the surrounding context the auditor may have skipped.
+3. Decide the stamp:
+   - `CONFIRMED` — the command and the lines say what the auditor says; severity stands.
+   - `DOWNGRADED` — real, but the severity is too high (state the new one and why: not user-visible, already covered by a test, cosmetic).
+   - `REJECTED` — does not reproduce, or the auditor misread the code, the help text or the test.
+   - `DUPLICATE` — the same defect as another finding (name it); the earliest id keeps the row.
+4. One line of justification per stamp, with the decisive observation. No paragraphs.
+
+## Also check
+
+- A finding that says "missing" for a file, a flag or a sentence: grep for it under a different name before confirming (a flag may be described in the global block of `src/index.ts`, a sentence in AGENTS.md rather than the README).
+- A finding about a count or a map entry: recompute it (`node scripts/sync-engine-data.mjs --check` when `../zipnative` is checked out, otherwise `npx vitest run tests/docs/consistency.test.ts`; `node dist/cli.cjs --help` for the command count; `node dist/cli.cjs schema list` for the subjects).
+- A finding about engine behaviour: call the zipnative export directly (`node -e "const z = require('zipnative'); …"` over `node_modules/zipnative`) before blaming the CLI; if the engine does the same, the finding is real but belongs to zipnative — say so in the justification and point to a draft under `.github/drafts/` (HITL: a human files it).
+- A finding about bytes (a `--deterministic` pair, the corpus identity with the previous release, a reproducible build): recompute the digest yourself with `node -e` or `sha256sum`; never trust a pasted hash.
+- A finding about a refusal: provoke it yourself with a fresh input of your own (a planted `.zipnativerc.json`, a hostile archive from `test-output/zip/` after `npm run corpus:zip`, a misspelled switch), so a fixture that happens to pass is not mistaken for the rule.
+- A `holds` row whose evidence command you cannot make pass is a new finding; add it with the prefix `V-`.
+
+## Output
+
+Write `.audit/<version>/verifier-<n>.md`: the auditor's table with a `stamp` and `justification` column added, then a tally per stamp and per severity. Finish with the list of `CONFIRMED` blockers, if any — that list is what Phase E reads first.
+
+Do not fix anything. Do not push, tag or publish. Never put `npm publish`, `git push`, `git tag <name>` or a `gh` write in a shell command — `.claude/settings.json` denies them, and the audit never needs them.

-# zipnative-cli 1.1.0 — second review: findings, verdicts, fixes
-
-_Draft for the maintainer (HITL). Branch `release/v1.1.0`; reviewed at `e2e820e`, fixed in
-`aba500a` → `0536020`._
-
-## Method
-
-- **Two independent reviewers**, working read-only, each on all seven criteria, from different
-  angles:
-  - **A — conformance and product.** Standards against pkinative-cli and pdfnative-cli, coverage
-    of the core, the AI instructions, every documented figure checked against the binary, and
-    measured token cost.
-  - **B — adversarial.** The surface diff from the published 1.0.0 to 1.1.0, a hardening matrix
-    against pkinative-cli, and attacks on the binary and the workflows.
-- **A third, separate agent (the verifier)** reproduced every finding itself and ruled it
-  CONFIRMED, REJECTED or DEFER.
-- **Framing decisions given to all three agents** — challenged only if shown unsafe:
-  - the three input narrowings are security fixes (ADRs 0001–0003);
-  - HITL applies to GitHub writes;
-  - `dosTimeMode` is not adopted (ADR 0008);
-  - runners use `-latest`;
-  - no `fast-check` (ADR 0010).
-- **Maintainer decision (2026-10-18):** expose the 11 core exports still graded "bridged" in
-  1.1.0 (M-17).
-
-**Totals:** 31 findings — 30 merged, plus one the verifier found (N-1). 23 confirmed (three of
-them in part), 5 deferred, 1 rejected, 2 rejected in part.
-
-## The seven criteria — verdict after the fixes
-
-| # | Criterion | Verdict | Evidence |
-|---|---|---|---|
-| 1 | 2026 state of the art, native philosophy | **Met; family hygiene gaps deferred** | Supply-chain parity is reached or exceeded — attested five-job release, SBOMs, harden-runner everywhere, CodeQL, zizmor, actionlint, reuse, OSV, rulesets as code, SECURITY-INSIGHTS, security.txt. Added: a Node security floor and a gate step that enforces offline. Deferred to 1.2: `docs.yml`, a Deno/Bun job, a PR template, `THREAT_MODEL.md` (M-16). |
-| 2 | No breaking change unless justified | **Met** | Reviewer B's surface diff found **no undocumented break**. The narrowings (switch values, batch modes, `extract --entry`, `--workers`) are security or typo fixes, each listed under CHANGELOG `### Security` with its migration. The migration notes are now exact (M-25). |
-| 3 | Full core coverage | **Met** | 106 / 106 exports reachable. `canonicalize`, `merge`, `--range` and manifest `raw` entries close the last 11 (M-17). `core-exports.json` grades none `bridged`. |
-| 4 | AI instructions current and economical | **Met; size budget deferred** | CLAUDE.md, copilot-instructions and AGENTS.md are corrected (M-11, M-12, M-13). The 94 KB AI-facing text is a 1.2 target with stated budgets (M-14, M-15). |
-| 5 | Hardening at pkinative level | **Met** | Switch values are now strict (M-01). Every read is bounded, including batch verify (N-1). The deadline holds on stalled inputs (M-03). Escaping is per field, invisible characters included. A pipe read is bounded in memory. No registry code runs next to the signing identity. |
-| 6 | Documentation factual and complete | **Met** | Every count is pinned by tests: commands, demos, diagnostics, corpus, ADRs, links, schemas against real output (`schema-conformance.test.ts`). |
-| 7 | Autonomous agent driving, token savings | **Met** | See "Token measurements" below. `schema manifest` now publishes arity, repeatability, path flags and operands (M-05). Errors and summaries carry the facts an agent used to need a second call for (M-04, M-06). |

-## Verification
-
-- `node scripts/gate.mjs --publish --require-all` — 15 / 15 (adds `node-floor`).
-- Tests: 1368 passed, 9 skipped, in 74 files. Coverage 95.92 / 91.77 / 97.78 / 96.83 against
-  thresholds of 95 / 91 / 97 / 96.
-- veraZIP: 41 archives, 37 PASS + 4 XFAIL. The 37 archives inherited from 1.0.0 are
-  byte-identical.
-- `node samples/run-all.js --clean`: 96 / 96 jobs.
-- **Counter-verification.** A fourth, independent agent re-ran the original scenario of every
-  confirmed finding on the built binary (`0536020`). Every one is **closed** (M-19 was closed in
-  part and has been completed since). It found **no regression** in the samples, the documented
-  invocations, healthy runs under `--timeout`, or multi-line output. It raised three minor
-  findings, all fixed in the closing commit:
-  1. `canonicalize` carried hostile names over silently. It now counts them in `unsafeNames`
-     (along with `encrypted`) and prints a `warning:` line. ADR 0012 and the docs now say that
-     reproducible is not safe to extract.
-  2. A manifest `raw` DEFLATE payload could hide bytes after the end of its stream. Those bytes
-     are now refused, and a stored payload must be exactly the declared size.
-  3. Some docs did not mention `raw`, `--range` or `--max-entry-compressed-size`.
-
-  Nits fixed in the same commit:
-  - The `ZIPNATIVE_*` environment switches now take the same eight spellings as the flags.
-    `ZIPNATIVE_DRY_RUN=true` used to be silently off, so the run wrote its output.
-  - Smaller fixes:
-    - the `--dry-run` help line;
-    - the batch sample comments;
-    - two "eight `--max-*`" leftovers;
-    - the `canonicalize --date` message;
-    - merge's internal-duplicate message;
-    - the CHANGELOG, which now uses Keep a Changelog types only.
-
-  Noted and left as they are:
-  - `schema manifest` does not list value enums (`--on-duplicate`, `--order`).
-  - `detail.failedEntries` is a comma-joined string, because `ErrorDetail` is scalar.
-  - `verify --range --strict` reports a strict diagnostic only in the error message.
-  - Batch directory mode validates create flags per row. This predates 1.1.0.

-## Pull requests
-
-### #1, #3, #4, #5, #7 — superseded by one commit
-
-The four `github/codeql-action` steps (`init`, `autobuild` and `analyze` in `codeql.yml`, and
-`upload-sarif` in `scorecard.yml`) must run the same release. CodeQL refuses a mixed-version
-run, which is why #7's "Analyze (javascript-typescript)" check failed. Dependabot opened one PR
-per step. Commit `5c09933` moves all four to `cdf488f595d80d6e07e03d4674febd5ab45fa938 # v4.37.9`
-and `ossf/scorecard-action` to `2d1146689b8cda280b9bc96326124645441f03bc # v2.4.4` (both SHAs
-verified against the peeled upstream tags). `dependabot.yml` now groups GitHub Actions, so the
-steps move together in the future.
-
-Ready-to-paste comment (each PR):
-
-> Superseded by the `release/v1.1.0` branch (commit 5c09933), which moves all four
-> `github/codeql-action` steps to v4.37.9 in one change — CodeQL refuses a mixed-version run —
-> and `ossf/scorecard-action` to v2.4.4. Dependabot now groups GitHub Actions updates. Closing.
-
-### #10 — `@types/node` 26: close
-
-`engines.node` is `>=22`. Types for Node 26 would type-check calls to APIs that Node 22 does not
-have, and the error would only show at runtime on the oldest supported line. `dependabot.yml`
-on the branch ignores `@types/node` semver-major updates. Minors and patches of the 22 line still
-arrive.
-
-> Closing: the supported floor is Node 22 (`engines.node`), so `@types/node` stays on the 22.x
-> line — 26.x would type APIs that Node 22 lacks. `dependabot.yml` now ignores its major
-> versions.
-> @dependabot ignore this major version
-
-### #11 — dev group (zipnative + typescript-eslint): close, redone by hand
-
-All five platform jobs fail. The group bumped **`zipnative`, the only runtime dependency**,
-under a "dev-dependencies" label. 1.1.0 changes types (`nameEncoding: 'custom'`), `ZipLimits`
-(`maxEntryCompressedSize`), the diagnostics set and the export count the docs tests pin.
-Commit `a01d7c4` makes that bump by hand with every consequence absorbed. The
-`typescript-eslint` half (8.69.0 → 8.71.1, past the seven-day cooldown) is in the release
-commit. `dependabot.yml` excludes `zipnative` from the dev group, so the engine is always
-bumped alone.
-
-> Closing: `zipnative` is the runtime dependency, and 1.1.0 needs code and documentation
-> changes (types, limits, the 12th diagnostic, the 106-export ledger). It is bumped by hand on
-> `release/v1.1.0` (a01d7c4), together with typescript-eslint 8.71.1. Dependabot now bumps
-> `zipnative` alone, outside the dev group.
-
-## Dependabot alerts
-
-Both are in **development** dependencies — nothing in the published package (`dist/cli.cjs`
-requires only `zipnative`, which the bundle probe and the install smoke test both prove).
-
-- **#1 `ip-address`** (GHSA-j6r3-76f7-8jcv, medium; also GHSA-h3mg-xc3c-68pw in Scorecard).
-  It was a transitive dev dependency in the 1.0.0 lockfile. It is not in the branch's lockfile,
-  so the alert closes when `main` receives it.
-- **#3 `http-cache-semantics`** (GHSA-ch52-4w7c-c8xp, high, no patched version). Same: it is
-  gone from the lockfile, so the alert closes after the merge. Since no patched version exists,
-  removal was the only fix.
-
-Verification on the branch: `npm audit` reports `found 0 vulnerabilities`. The weekly
-`audit.yml` (`npm audit` + OSV-Scanner) and `dependency-review.yml` now watch for regressions.
-
-## Code-scanning alerts (all OpenSSF Scorecard, on `main`)
-
-- **#1 Branch-Protection.** `.github/rulesets/main.json` and `tags.json` hold the protection as
-  code: PRs only, required checks, no force-push or deletion, immutable `v*` tags. Import them
-  (Settings → Rules → Rulesets → Import), then the next Scorecard run re-scores.
-- **#2 Token-Permissions (`publish.yml`, `contents: write`).** Needed: the `attest` job attaches
-  the tarball, SBOMs and Sigstore bundle to the GitHub Release. The permission is granted
-  only to that job, which runs only on a `v*` tag, after the tarball has been published and
-  fetched back. The top-level permissions are read-only (ADR 0009). pkinative-cli holds the
-  same grant.
-  > Dismiss as "won't fix": `contents: write` is scoped to the `attest` job, which runs only
-  > on a release tag, after publication, to attach the release assets; top-level permissions
-  > are read-only (docs/adr/0009-release-integrity.md).
-- **#3 Token-Permissions (`codeql.yml`, top-level `security-events: write`).** Fixed: the top
-  level is `contents: read`, and `security-events: write` sits on the `analyze` job. Closes on
-  the first scan after the merge.
-- **#4 Code-Review.** Scorecard counts approved changesets; a single-maintainer project cannot
-  approve its own PRs. The ruleset enforces the PR flow and the required checks. Either leave
-  the alert open as an honest signal, or dismiss:
-  > Dismiss as "won't fix": single-maintainer project; every change lands through a PR with the
-  > required checks enforced by the main ruleset. Re-evaluate when a second maintainer joins.
-- **#5 Maintained.** The repository was created on 2026-09-02; Scorecard scores 0 for the first
-  90 days. Nothing to do — it re-scores after 2026-12-01 given continued activity.
-- **#6 CII-Best-Practices.** Register the project at <https://www.bestpractices.dev> (a human
-  account step), then replace the commented badge placeholder at the top of README.md.
-- **#7 Fuzzing.** 1.1.0 adds seeded fuzzing of every CLI-owned parser (`tests/fuzz/`,
-  ADR 0010), and the engine — which owns all ZIP parsing — has its own fuzzing. Scorecard
-  recognises TypeScript fuzzing only through specific integrations (OSS-Fuzz,
-  ClusterFuzzLite, or a property-based library such as `fast-check`), so the alert stays
-  open until one of these exists. Adding `fast-check` as a **dev** dependency is allowed (the
-  zero-dependency rule covers runtime only), but ADR 0010 chose the dependency-free PRNG. This
-  is a decision for the maintainer:
-  > Dismiss as "won't fix": the CLI owns no ZIP parsing; its argv, size, glob, projection,
-  > manifest, configuration and escaper parsers are fuzzed by a seeded campaign in CI
-  > (tests/fuzz/, docs/adr/0010), and the engine fuzzes the format.
-- **#8 Vulnerabilities.** The eight OSV ids map to `brace-expansion` (GHSA-6j4f-fj2g-mc7p,
-  GHSA-q2hr-2g5m-vwhr, GHSA-qhr7-859c-m2p7), `fast-uri` (GHSA-hrr3-gc8f-f4qj),
-  `http-cache-semantics` (GHSA-ch52-4w7c-c8xp), `ip-address` (GHSA-h3mg-xc3c-68pw,
-  GHSA-j6r3-76f7-8jcv) and `source-map-js` (GHSA-68fv-2mgg-jv7q). All are dev-only. On the
-  branch, `brace-expansion` is 1.1.21 and 5.0.12 and `source-map-js` is 1.2.2 (each at or past
-  its patched version), and `fast-uri`, `http-cache-semantics` and `ip-address` are absent. The
-  alert closes on the first Scorecard run after the merge.
-
-## Order of operations for the maintainer
-
-1. Review and push `release/v1.1.0`; open the PR from `release-notes/draft/PR-v1.1.0.md`.
-2. Import `.github/rulesets/main.json` and `tags.json`; create the `npm-publish` environment
-   (required reviewer = you) and bind npm Trusted Publishing to `publish.yml` + `npm-publish`.
-3. Merge; then close PRs #1, #3, #4, #5, #7, #10 and #11 with the comments above.
-4. After the next Scorecard and Dependabot runs, confirm alerts #1, #3, #8 (Dependabot #1, #3)
-   closed; dismiss #2 (and #4, #7 if you choose) with the texts above; register at
-   bestpractices.dev for #6.
-5. Tag `v1.1.0` on the merge commit; `publish.yml` does the rest.

Subject: [PATCH 16/22] chore(release): move the 1.1.0 review and triage
 reports out of the tree
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

release-notes/draft/ holds the PR bodies only, as in the sibling
repositories: the second-review report now lives under .audit/1.1.0/ and
the HITL triage under .github/drafts/ (both git-ignored). The PR draft
carries their committed summary (§Independent audit with the rounds and
the seven criteria, the triage table under §Human follow-ups) and the
figures it still quoted from 1.0.0 (17 commands, 12 ADRs, 96 sample jobs).

-## Test plan
+## Independent audit
+
+Agent-run, on the local branch, before the maintainer's own pass. Round 1: two independent
+pre-PR reviews (correctness, security) of the branch diff. Round 2: two independent reviewers
+over seven criteria — A (conformance and product: standards against pkinative-cli and
+pdfnative-cli, coverage of the core, the AI instructions, every documented figure, measured
+token cost) and B (adversarial: the surface diff from the published 1.0.0, a hardening matrix
+against pkinative-cli, attacks on the binary and the workflows) — and a third, separate
+verifier that reproduced every finding and ruled it CONFIRMED, REJECTED or DEFER. Round 2b: a
+fourth agent re-ran the original scenario of every confirmed finding on the built binary.
+Round 3: `/release-audit` (the family's audit skill, ported in this release: two auditors, an
+adversarial verifier, an autonomy pass, a second verifier, a GO/NO-GO ledger) at HEAD.
+
+| Round | Verdict | Confirmed | Resolution |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| 1 | — | every finding reproduced on the built binary (the `stream --timeout` hang, a decompressor timeout, config `false`, batch create flags, one deadline per process, FIFO reads, per-field escaping, the consumer job, manifest `comment-file`) | fixed in `e2e820e`, one regression test per finding (`tests/integration/review-fixes-1-1.test.ts`, `built-binary-smoke.test.ts`) |

Subject: [PATCH 17/22] fix(audit): the confirmed findings of the 1.1.0 release
 audit

verify: a bound is never a verdict. The engine's verifiers (verifyZip,
verifyEntry on both readers) report a fetch their bound stopped as a CRC /
size mismatch, which read as corruption; the declared sizes are checked
against --max-entry-size / --max-entry-compressed-size first and the
refusal is E_LIMIT with entryName, detail and the flag as remedy, on the
buffered, --entry, --range and batch --task verify paths; a limit refusal
at open keeps E_LIMIT and its detail; --strict names ZIP_STRICT_DIAGNOSTIC.
Engine draft: .github/drafts/upstream-range-verify-swallows-limit.md.

io: a path that cannot be opened is E_IO on every path (govern
verify-issue and a manifest raw path were E_RUNTIME with the raw ENOENT).

cli: a misspelt ZIPNATIVE_* value under --json is refused as an envelope;
list / inspect --summary carry zip64Entries next to zip64 (a streamed
--zip64 archive has entries and no Zip64 EOCD) and the schemas declare
both; the usage refusals whose message named the lifting flag carry it as
remedy; CRC details are numbers on every path; list --format ndjson warns
when a projection flag is ignored; batch --task verify rows carry
entryName, detail and remedy, declared in schema batch; the --timeout
message no longer claims a written file on a read.

docs: create --stream --zip64 is how a streamed entry passes 4 GiB (the
README feature table, llms.txt, AGENTS.md and the knowledge base said it
was refused); SECURITY.md describes the ninth bound and its flag; the
createDecompressor() contract; batch --manifest --dry-run scope; the
config announcement is text-mode only; verify --name-encoding; the
doctor Node check; raisedBy of ZIP_TIMESTAMP_CLAMPED; the raw manifest
keys in create --help; the sample note on --summary --fields; twelve
ADRs; the measured figures (76 files, 1385 tests, 95.91 / 91.48 / 97.81 /
96.77, 186.1 kB); the audit's deferred items in the ROADMAP.

tests: tests/integration/audit-1-1.test.ts, the range / zip64 / parity
cases in core-surfaces-1-1, the env-switch envelope in the built-binary
smoke test; the suites that pinned the old shapes follow the fix.

   reports of a release live outside the tree (`.audit/<version>/`, `.github/drafts/`) and are
   summarised in the release PR; `release-notes/draft/` holds the PR bodies only.

+  passes 4 GiB (the README feature table, llms.txt, AGENTS.md and the knowledge base said it
+  was refused); SECURITY.md describes the ninth bound and its flag; the `createDecompressor()`

+  validates; the `--summary` / `--fields` combination in the token-economy sample; the
+  `doctor` Node check reads `engines.node`; the config announcement is text-mode only.
 
 ### Fixed
 
+- **`verify --range` names a bound, not a corruption**: an entry over
+  `--max-entry-compressed-size` is `E_LIMIT` / `ZIP_LIMIT_EXCEEDED` with `entryName`,
+  `detail { limit, configured, observed }` and the flag as `remedy`, as `cat --raw --range`
+  reports it — the engine's range `verifyEntry()` reports the refused fetch as a plain CRC / size
+  mismatch (drafted upstream), which read as a corrupt archive (release audit A-70).
+- **`--summary` tells the two Zip64 facts apart**: `list` and `inspect` summaries carry
+  `zip64Entries` (entries with a Zip64 extra field) next to `zip64` (the Zip64 EOCD record); a
+  streamed `--zip64` archive has the first and not the second, which `--check zip64` already
+  accepted (audit B-53). The `entries-summary` and `inspect-summary` schemas declare both.
+- **A misspelt `ZIPNATIVE_*` value is refused in the mode argv asked for**: with `--json` the
+  `E_USAGE` arrives as an envelope (the switches were normalised before the `--json` token was
+  read; audit V-01).
+- **A bound is never a verdict in `verify`**: the buffered paths too — an entry whose declared
+  size exceeds `--max-entry-size` is `E_LIMIT` with the bound, not a CRC / size failure (the
+  engine's `verifyZip()` and `verifyEntry()` swallow the refusal; drafted upstream), and a
+  structural limit refusal at open (`--max-entries`, …) keeps `E_LIMIT` and its `detail`
+  instead of becoming `E_VERIFY_FAILED` (audit D-03f, V-03). `verify --strict` names
+  `ZIP_STRICT_DIAGNOSTIC` as `zipCode` like `list --strict` (D-19b).
+- **A missing or unreadable file is `E_IO` on every path**: `govern verify-issue <missing>` and
+  a manifest `raw` entry whose `path` does not exist were `E_RUNTIME` with the raw `ENOENT`
+  (audit D-31).
+- **Remedies where the message already knew the answer**: `--date now`, `--zip64` or
+  `--chunk-size` without a streamed input, `--canonical` without `--compact`,
+  `--name-encoding` without `--entry`, a malformed `--timeout`, `--range` on stdin or a pipe,
+  and `stream --cat` on a name that never arrives carry the lifting flag or command as
+  `error.remedy` (D-32, D-33). CRC details are numbers on every path (`raw` manifest entries
+  printed hex strings; D-20c). `list --format ndjson` warns when `--summary` / `--fields` are
+  ignored (D-25). `batch --task verify` rows carry `entryName`, `detail` and `remedy`, and
+  `schema batch` declares them with `zipCode` (D-17b).
 - **`--timeout` fires while an input is stalled**: a silent pipe made `list -`, `crc32`,
   `create --stdin-name`, `stream` and `extract -` wait forever; the input streams now carry the
   deadline, and the dispatcher fails a run still pending 500 ms after it.

Exceeding it is `E_LIMIT` with `detail { limit: "maxInputSize", configured, observed }` (CWE-400). It is a CLI-owned bound, not a `ZipLimits` key; `doctor` reports it under `limits`. The streaming paths — `stream`, `crc32`, `inflate` (default), `create --stream` — are constant-memory and are not bounded by it. Random-access commands hold the whole archive in memory, so the bound is also the memory envelope.
 - JSON input size is capped at **50 MB** before `JSON.parse` — `create --from-manifest`, `modify --from-manifest`, `batch --manifest`, `govern verify-issue` drafts. Batch manifests are additionally bounded to **1 000 tasks**. `.zipnativerc.json` is capped at 1 MiB (checked on the open descriptor).
 - **Manifest values** — `batch --manifest` is validated strictly before anything executes: structural violations exit 2 / `E_USAGE`, value violations (bad or duplicate id, non-whitelisted command, forward or unknown `@ref`) exit 1 / `E_INPUT`; only 10 archive commands may appear (never `batch`, `govern`, `schema`, `completion`, `doctor`); a `codec` flag is refused unless the `batch` invocation itself carries `--allow-codec-load`. A manifest has the filesystem access of the user who invokes `batch` — the same trust level as flags typed on the command line, no more.

The bounds also apply on the write side (`create` / `modify`).

The bounds also apply on the write side (`create` / `modify`).
 - Every entry name the CLI **writes** (`create` inputs, `--stdin-name`, manifests, `modify --add` / `--rename` / `--add-dir`) is pre-checked with the engine's `sanitizeEntryPath()`: a name that could not be extracted safely is refused at creation time (`E_INPUT`, with `entryName`). Malformed flags stay `E_USAGE`; unsafe **data** is `E_INPUT`.
 - Dates are data too: `--date <ISO>` and manifest `date` values are read as **UTC wall-clock**, so the stored DOS fields — and the archive bytes — do not depend on the host time zone. A date outside 1980–2107 is clamped by the engine and reported (`ZIP_TIMESTAMP_CLAMPED`, zipnative 1.1), an error under `--strict`.
 - `--name-encoding <label>` hands the engine a `TextDecoder` (the runtime's own, no table shipped) for names without the UTF-8 flag; the engine decodes **before** `sanitizeEntryPath()`, so a decoded name passes exactly the same guards (zipnative 1.1, CWE-22).

 ## Fixed
 
+- **fix(verify):** `verify --range` reports an entry over `--max-entry-compressed-size` as
+  `E_LIMIT` with the bound and the flag, not as a CRC / size failure (release audit).
+- **fix(projection):** `list` / `inspect --summary` carry `zip64Entries` next to `zip64`, so a
+  streamed `--zip64` archive (Zip64 entries, no Zip64 EOCD) reads as what it is.
+- **fix(cli):** a misspelt `ZIPNATIVE_*` value under `--json` is refused as an envelope.
+- **fix(verify):** on the buffered paths too, an entry over `--max-entry-size` is `E_LIMIT`
+  with the bound, and a limit refusal at open keeps `E_LIMIT`; `--strict` names
+  `ZIP_STRICT_DIAGNOSTIC`.
+- **fix(io):** a missing file is `E_IO` on every path (`govern verify-issue`, manifest `raw`
+  paths were `E_RUNTIME`).
+- **fix(agent):** the usage refusals whose message named the lifting flag carry it as
+  `remedy`; CRC details are numbers everywhere; `list --format ndjson` warns when a
+  projection flag is ignored; `batch --task verify` rows carry `entryName`, `detail`, `remedy`.
 - **fix(io):** the early-error unlink of a pre-existing output (above).
 - **fix(io):** large entries no longer print `MaxListenersExceededWarning` on stderr (a 1.0.0
   listener leak in the file writer).

Subject: [PATCH 20/22] fix(audit): the release-day round of the 1.1.0 audit

batch --task verify parses every --max-* value once, before the pool and
before any read: a malformed bound is one E_USAGE (exit 2) again, never
a row per archive and never a plan that says ok (the b04f15f regression).

The ZIPNATIVE_* switches are judged after the --json token decides the
mode, and the raw ZIPNATIVE_JSON that token shadows is still judged;
the refusal envelope names the command.

The AI-instruction files say 17 commands and nine bounds, and the docs
consistency test counts them; CONTRIBUTING states the inbound = outbound
licensing rule; ADR 0009 names its five jobs; the batch --dry-run help
and AGENTS.md say what the plan checks; the --timeout help and README
match the message; the release-day items of the audit in the ROADMAP;
the coverage figures dated 2026-10-20 (76 files, 1387 tests).

Subject: [PATCH 22/22] test(io): refuse a directory input from a private temp
 dir, not the tmpdir root

CodeQL js/insecure-temporary-file flagged src/utils/io.ts:122 on the
release PR: the directory-refusal unit test passed os.tmpdir() itself
to readFileOrStdin, so a path in the shared, world-writable temp root
flowed into open(). The test now creates its own directory with
mkdtempSync, removes it afterwards, and asserts the E_IO refusal its
name promises. No src/ change: readFileOrStdin only reads.
