| ``` | |
| ## Built-in self-test coverage | |
| The self-test generates: | |
| - repeated text; | |
| - tiny JSON files; | |
| - exact rank-1 2D byte field; | |
| - exact finite-difference polynomial word stream; | |
| - random MP4-like bytes; | |
| - sparse modified near-duplicate random MP4-like bytes; | |
| - plain archive; | |
| - encrypted archive; | |
| - recovery-tail archive with one corrupted shard. | |
| It then verifies exact extraction by byte-comparing input and output trees. | |
| ## Known limits | |
| - Pure Python is not expected to beat native C/Rust compressors in speed. | |
| - Recovery repairs replacement corruption in up to two detected shards; it does not repair arbitrary insertion/deletion damage. | |
| - Password mode uses standard primitives implemented in auditable Python, but it has not undergone independent cryptographic audit. | |
| - Windows ACLs, alternate data streams, and macOS resource forks are not fully preserved by the current portable metadata layer. | |
