+///   <see cref="RefsStreamLayoutEditor"/>;
+/// - remove regular files and empty directories;
+/// - release old ordinary data extents after the namespace/data repoint is live.
+///
+/// New-name insertion remains fail-closed until the directory-entry value template
+/// (file identity/security/link semantics) is derived for every writable ReFS 3.x

-/// flat — files live in the single directory on track 18 with a BAM — so the
-/// writer first builds a standard sectored D64 image (reusing
-/// <see cref="D64Writer"/> for the BAM, directory and linked sector chains)
-/// and then GCR-encodes every track into the VICE <c>.g64</c> wire format,
-/// framing each sector with sync marks, a header block and a data block exactly
-/// as a real 1541 lays them down on disk.
+/// Writer for Commodore nibble containers. It supports two distinct layers:
+/// ordinary Commodore files are first placed into a D64 and GCR-encoded, while

+# Filesystem driver architecture
+
+The archive API is useful for whole-image tooling, but it is deliberately **not** the contract for a future mounted filesystem driver. `CanModify` means an existing container can be changed and verified; that change may legally be implemented by a whole-image rebuild. A mounted writable filesystem has stronger requirements.
+
+## Layers
+
+1. **Container / media layer** — VHD/QCOW2/EWF expose logical blocks; G64/NIB/flux formats expose raw tracks until a sector decoder can project them as blocks.
+2. **Block device layer** — `IRandomAccessBlockDevice` provides positional logical-block I/O, flush and trim independent of the outer container.
+3. **Filesystem namespace layer** — `IFilesystemDriverProvider` probes the exact on-disk profile and opens an `IFilesystemSession` over stable node identities.
+4. **OS adapter** — FUSE, WinFsp, Dokany or another adapter translates kernel requests into the session contract. It should contain no filesystem-specific parsing.
+
+The dependency direction is one-way: a FAT/ext/ReFS driver consumes a block device; it does not know how QCOW2/EWF stores that block. Likewise, G64 is not a CBM-DOS filesystem. It is a track device which may later be decoded into sectors and mounted by a CBM-DOS driver.
+
+## Requirements for writable mounting
+
+A format may advertise archive-level `CanModify` while its `FilesystemDriverProfile.CanMountWritable` remains false. Writable mounting should only be enabled when all of the following are true for the **current image profile**:
+
+- stable object identity survives rename and open-handle lifetime;
+- directories support lookup and enumeration without path-as-identity shortcuts;
+- file reads and writes are positional/random-access and bounded to the file;
+- create, unlink, mkdir, rmdir, rename and truncate update all relevant indexes and allocation metadata;
+- free-space allocation and release are known, including sparse/shared/extents where applicable;
+- dirty metadata has a defined flush/durability boundary;
+- crash consistency is understood (journal, CoW transaction, log commit, or another native scheme);
+- checksums, mirrors, generations, sequence numbers and backup metadata are updated together;
+- unknown feature bits or metadata layouts force a read-only profile instead of being guessed;
+- concurrent open handles cannot race through one shared `Stream.Position` cursor.
+
+`FilesystemMutationModel.WholeImageRebuild` is therefore useful for offline tools but should normally report `CanMountWritable = false`.
+
+## Transactions
+
+`IFilesystemSession.BeginTransaction()` is an explicit durability boundary. Implementations with native transactions should map it to their real mechanism:
+
+- ReFS: CoW metadata pages + allocation updates + checkpoint/SUPB publication;
+- APFS/Btrfs/ZFS: native CoW transaction groups / roots;
+- NTFS: logfile-aware metadata update sequence;
+- FAT-like filesystems: a staged write set ordered so allocation, directory entry and size changes cannot expose uninitialised clusters.
+
+A driver without a safe native commit model can still be mounted read-only and can continue using the archive rebuild path for offline edits.
+
+## Identity and handles
+
+`FilesystemNodeId` is intentionally path-independent. Providers should map a native inode/object/file reference plus generation/sequence information where available. FAT-like formats may synthesize identity from stable directory-slot/first-cluster information, but must invalidate stale generations when a slot is reused.
+
+`IFilesystemFileHandle` uses positional `Read(offset, ...)` and `Write(offset, ...)`, not a mutable stream cursor. This matches kernel I/O request semantics and permits independent concurrent handles.
+
+## Current first lower-layer implementation
+
+`CbmNibbleRawTrackDevices` implements the raw-track layer for G64/NIB:
+
+- NIB writes one fixed 8192-byte slot directly and can clear a slot without moving anything else.
+- G64 keeps half-track index as stable device identity, stages variable-length track changes, rebuilds the offset table at flush, and verifies every surviving track before commit.
+- G64 images using pointer-based variable-speed maps are readable but writable raw-track open is refused until those auxiliary speed-map blocks are modeled.
+
+The next CBM step is a GCR sector projector implementing `IRandomAccessBlockDevice`; the existing D64/CBM filesystem logic can then be refactored to consume that block-device contract rather than owning an outer image format directly.

 The dependency direction is one-way: a FAT/ext/ReFS driver consumes a block device; it does not know how QCOW2/EWF stores that block. Likewise, G64 is not a CBM-DOS filesystem. It is a track device which may later be decoded into sectors and mounted by a CBM-DOS driver.
 
+## Repository-wide coverage invariant
+
+Filesystem-driver coverage is no longer a hand-maintained shortlist.
+
+`Compression.Lib` and `Hawkynt.FileFormats.FileSystems` reference `FileSystems/FileSystem.*/*.csproj` through an exhaustive project glob. The registry source generator marks descriptors declared below a `FileSystem.*` namespace as filesystem descriptors and discovers public `IFilesystemDriverAdapter` sidecars without reflection. Registry initialization then requires every marked filesystem descriptor to have one of these paths:
+
+- the descriptor itself implements a native `IFilesystemDriverProvider`;
+- a generated native `IFilesystemDriverAdapter` sidecar exists for its format ID; or
+- the descriptor implements `IArchiveFormatOperations` and can be projected conservatively through the read-only archive-derived filesystem session.
+
+`Compression.Tests/Operations/FilesystemDriverCoverageTests.cs` enforces the same rule in CI. Adding a new `FileSystem.*` descriptor that has no derivable driver path is therefore a build/test regression rather than a documentation omission.
+
+The derived archive projection is intentionally a **compatibility floor**, not a native-readiness claim. It supplies a bounded, positional, read-only namespace for formats whose parser can list/open entries; its default `OpenEntry` path is temporary-file-backed so large files do not require one `byte[]`. It cannot by itself prove native inode identity, allocation maps, sparse/shared extent semantics, crash recovery or mounted writes.
+
+`FormatRegistry.GetFilesystemDriverCoverage()` exposes whether a format currently resolves through a native descriptor provider, a generated native sidecar, or the conservative archive projection. `IFilesystemDriverReadinessProvider` separately reports which implementation layers are genuinely present for read-only and read/write driver targets.
+
 ## Requirements for writable mounting
 
 A format may advertise archive-level `CanModify` while its `FilesystemDriverProfile.CanMountWritable` remains false. Writable mounting should only be enabled when all of the following are true for the **current image profile**:

 `IFilesystemFileHandle` uses positional `Read(offset, ...)` and `Write(offset, ...)`, not a mutable stream cursor. This matches kernel I/O request semantics and permits independent concurrent handles.
 
-## Current first lower-layer implementation
+`SpoolingReadOnlyFileHandle` is a transitional handle for readers that can stream the correct logical file but do not yet expose a seekable native extent map. Small files stay in memory; larger files use a delete-on-close temporary file. Filesystems with a verified extent mapping should prefer a direct positional handle instead.
+
+## Native driver tier currently implemented
+
+The following formats now have native descriptor providers or generated native sidecars rather than relying only on archive projection:
+
+- **D64 / CBM nibble media** — native Commodore namespace plus sector/raw-track layers; G64/NIB retain raw-track identity and the GCR sector projector feeds the filesystem layer.
+- **ReFS** — native read session over decoded metadata/object identities; mounted mutation remains separately gated from the offline-quiescent image editor.
+- **FAT12/16/32** — native directory/cluster-chain read session and allocation knowledge; mounted mutation remains gated on a proven ordered durability protocol.
+- **ext2/ext3/ext4** — native inode identity and positional block/extent reads; mounted mutation remains gated on complete allocation, metadata and journal transaction semantics.
+- **NTFS** — native MFT-record identity and positional data reads; full file-reference sequence identity, index mutation, `$LogFile` publication/replay and complete metadata/security semantics remain write blockers.
+- **XFS** — native inode+generation identity and streaming extent reads; writable mounting remains gated on allocation-group btrees, log transactions, delayed allocation/refcount/reflink and crash-recovery semantics.
+- **APFS** — native object IDs and direct positional reads for the proven unencrypted single-extent profile; broader extent/compression/encryption profiles fail closed and CoW checkpoint/spaceman/OMAP publication remains a write blocker.
+- **Btrfs** — native inode IDs and a global logical segment map across all FS-tree leaves. Inline/regular extents are read directly, holes/prealloc ranges return zeroes, and compressed/encrypted/multi-stripe profiles fail closed. Writable mounting remains gated on CoW tree paths, delayed refs, extent/checksum/free-space trees, transaction generations and log-tree replay.
+- **ZFS** — native dataset dnode object IDs and checksum-verified streaming reads for the supported v28 single-vdev profile.

Subject: [PATCH 154/192] # the branch did not compile: three leftovers from
 the promotion work

XfsFilesystemDriverTests called XfsWriter.Build(); the writer's method is
BuildImageBytes(), as every other filesystem writer test uses it.

FilesystemRwPromotionRoundTripTests suppressed the null check on the first of
three casts of the same nullable value and not on the other two, so the two
casts and the two uses that followed them were nullability errors.

DefragmentWindow.RebuildProgress.cs names Button while the UI project pulls in
both System.Windows.Controls and System.Windows.Forms. The window is WPF, so
the file aliases Button to the Controls one.

+#### `FilesystemDriverDerivation`
+
+Common entry point for filesystem frontends. Native filesystem providers are always preferred. A descriptor that only exposes the normalized archive listing/open-entry surface still gets a real read-only filesystem session: hierarchy is reconstructed, node ids remain stable for the lifetime of the mount, symlinks are represented, and file handles use positional reads. The fallback is deliberately read-only. It never turns archive-level rebuild/Add/Remove support into mounted write support. This makes every filesystem parser usable by FUSE/Dokany/WinFsp-style frontends immediately, while leaving a precise upgrade path to native allocation and mutation code.

 #### `FormatCapabilities`
 
-Flags describing what operations a format supports. Write capability is a four-level scale: Unsupported — no descriptor exists.Read-Only — `CanList` and/or `CanExtract` only.WORM (Write-Once-Read-Many) — adds `CanCreate`: a fresh archive can be produced from inputs, but existing archives cannot be modified in place.R/W (Modify) — adds `CanModify`: entries can be added, replaced, or removed in an existing archive without full rewrite. Most archive formats stop at WORM; true in-place modification is rare because compressed archive containers don't generally support entry mutation without a full rebuild. Honesty rule — rebuild-backed modification is WORM, not R/W. A format may implement `IArchiveModifiable` purely to make the add / remove / purge verbs work, backing them with the verified extract → re-create rebuild (the default `IArchiveModifiable` members, or `ModifyRebuilder` / `RebuildVerb`). That is a full rewrite of the container, so such a format advertises `CanCreate` only and must not set `CanModify` — the verb still runs, but no in-place R/W is claimed. `CanModify` is reserved for formats with a genuine in-place writer that edits the existing container (e.g. ZIP/TAR central-directory edits, FAT/NTFS/ext block writes, byte-identity append). `Compression.Tests.Operations.WriteCapabilityHonestyTests` enforces this for every claimant.
+Flags describing what operations a format supports. Write capability is a four-level scale: Unsupported — no descriptor exists.Read-Only — `CanList` and/or `CanExtract` only.WORM (Write-Once-Read-Many) — adds `CanCreate`: a fresh archive/image can be produced, but the library has no supported edit of an existing instance.R/W (Modify) — adds `CanModify`: an existing instance supports add/replace/remove and remains valid after the edit.R/W describes the public operation, not the physical write strategy. A format may update allocation metadata in place, append a new index, relayout members, or rebuild the complete image. Those are implementation choices. If callers can open an existing instance, apply add/replace/remove through `IArchiveModifiable`, and obtain a valid instance preserving the semantics the implementation claims to support, the format is R/W at this API surface. Conversely, merely having a writer for fresh images is WORM and must not set `CanModify`. This distinction is especially important for read-only-on-mount filesystem formats such as SquashFS, CramFS and EROFS: the native filesystem driver may intentionally forbid mounted writes while an offline image editor can still support complete, deterministic mutation by relayout/rebuild. `CanModify` reports the latter capability.

-Opt-in capability: the descriptor exposes add / remove (and thereby the purge verb).

The default `Add` / `Remove` below — and any override that delegates to `ModifyRebuilder` / `RebuildVerb` — are a verified extract → re-create rebuild, i.e. a full rewrite of the container. A format whose modification is only rebuild-backed is WORM: it advertises `CanCreate` and must NOT advertise `CanModify` (see `FormatCapabilities`). Reserve `CanModify` for a genuine in-place writer that edits the existing bytes (R/W filesystems; central-directory / member edits; byte-identity append).
+Opt-in capability for editing an existing archive/image through add/replace/remove. The physical strategy is format-specific: implementations may patch blocks in place, append replacement metadata, relayout members, or perform a verified extract → edit → re-create rebuild. All are valid implementations of the same public mutation contract when the resulting instance preserves the semantics the descriptor claims to support. A descriptor advertising `CanModify` must expose this interface and its supported-profile edit path must actually round-trip. Merely being able to create a fresh instance is not enough. A fully modifiable container is also purgeable: removing all live entries is a required subset of the remove contract.

+Opt-in capability: the descriptor can zero-fill all unused bytes in an image or archive — free clusters/sectors, cluster-tip slack, deleted directory entries, padding regions, and dead archive bytes. This is a forensic-cleanliness tool ensuring no deleted file remnants survive. The default implementation is deliberately conservative. It is available only when the same descriptor exposes an exact filesystem extent map or archive layout map; unknown/undecoded regions must therefore be emitted as `MetadataReserved` by those maps rather than omitted. An empty map is treated as "cannot prove anything is free" and wipes nothing.

 #### `RebuildVerb`
 
-Generic, round-trip-verified "extract → re-create" engine shared by the default implementations of the maintenance verbs (shrink, defragment) for any descriptor that can both enumerate/extract (`IArchiveFormatOperations`) and create (`IArchiveCreatable`) its format. Every rebuild is verified: the freshly created image is listed back and its live-file count compared against the source. If the rebuild would drop files, the operation throws `InvalidOperationException` instead of producing a lossy result — so enabling a verb on a format whose create path doesn't faithfully round-trip fails loudly rather than silently corrupting data. This is what makes broad, default-implementation rollout across filesystems safe.
+Generic, round-trip-verified extract → re-create engine shared by maintenance verbs. Rebuilds are staged, verified, progress-reporting, and cancellable; the caller's original stream is not touched until the staged target has been built successfully and cancellation is no longer accepted.
 
 | Member | Signature | Summary |
 | --- | --- | --- |
-| `EditViaRebuild` | `static void EditViaRebuild(Stream archive, IArchiveFormatOperations ops, IArchiveCreatable creator, Action<string> mutate)` | Rebuild-based in-place edit shared by the default `IArchiveModifiable`: extract the archive, apply `mutate` to the extracted file tree (add/overwrite/delete real files on disk), re-create the image, and overwrite the stream. The original bytes are left untouched on any failure. |
-| `RebuildInPlace` | `static void RebuildInPlace(Stream archive, IArchiveFormatOperations ops, IArchiveCreatable creator, IReadOnlyDictionary<string, string> formatSpecific = null)` | In-place rebuild: re-creates `archive` from its own contents (consolidating live data — the defragmentation side effect of the rebuild-via-WORM pattern) and overwrites the stream only when the rebuild is verified to round-trip. On any failure the original bytes are left untouched. |
-| `RebuildToStream` | `static int RebuildToStream(Stream input, Stream output, IArchiveFormatOperations ops, IArchiveCreatable creator, IReadOnlyDictionary<string, string> formatSpecific = null, IReadOnlySet<string> syntheticNames = null)` | Extracts every entry of `input` and re-creates the image into `output` via `creator`. Returns the source live-file count. Throws if the rebuilt image lists fewer live files than the source (lossy round-trip) — the caller's `output` should be discarded in that case. |
+| `EditViaRebuild` | `static void EditViaRebuild(Stream archive, IArchiveFormatOperations ops, IArchiveCreatable creator, Action<string> mutate)` | Rebuild-based edit used by the generic modifier. Mutation and validation happen off to the side; the original is overwritten only after a valid staged result exists. |
+| `PurgeViaModifier` | `static void PurgeViaModifier(Stream archive, IArchiveFormatOperations ops, IArchiveModifiable modifier)` | Transactional purge for a mutable container. The modifier operates on a staged copy and the caller's stream is replaced only after the result lists successfully with every original live entry gone. |
+| `RebuildInPlace` | `static void RebuildInPlace(Stream archive, IArchiveFormatOperations ops, IArchiveCreatable creator, IReadOnlyDictionary<string, string> formatSpecific = null, Action<DefragProgressEvent> onProgress = null, CancellationToken cancellationToken = null)` | Rebuilds into a scratch file, verifies it, and only then replaces the caller-supplied stream. Cancellation is honoured until commit starts; once commit begins it runs to completion so a cancellation cannot leave the original half-overwritten. |
+| `RebuildToStream` | `static int RebuildToStream(Stream input, Stream output, IArchiveFormatOperations ops, IArchiveCreatable creator, IReadOnlyDictionary<string, string> formatSpecific = null, IReadOnlySet<string> syntheticNames = null, Action<DefragProgressEvent> onProgress = null, CancellationToken cancellationToken = null)` | Extracts every live entry, re-creates the container in `output`, verifies the exact live-name multiset, and reports block-map/read/write-head progress suitable for the maintenance UI. |

 Read/write descriptor for AOMEI Backupper image files (`.adi` disk / partition / system backup, `.afi` file/folder backup). Both share the `Magic` 5-byte ASCII signature at offset 0 (the trailing backslash is the low byte of the `Size` field, not a path separator). Implementation ported from the reverse-engineered format spec at `docs/AOMEI_FORMAT_SPEC.md`: full `BIFH`/`BIFT` structs with `BRCrc32` verification, the recovered `BR_STANDARD_HEADER` tagged-record framing, and typed views of the four confirmed INFO records (COMPRESS / ENCRYPT / PASSWORD / BACKUP_TYPE). What is surfaced for parsable input:`FULL.bifh` — the raw image bytes (also acts as a fallback for callers that just want the original payload).`metadata.ini` — parse status, decoded INFO record fields (backup_type, compress method/level, encrypt method/keylen, password MD5), record-walk summary.`header.bin` — the original 64-byte capture of the file start (preserved from the R/O baseline for backward compatibility with downstream forensic tooling).`head.bin` / `tail.bin` — the full 0x65C BIFH and 0x674 BIFT structs, available when the file is long enough to contain them, for future RE work on the as-yet-TODO body fields.`record-NN-NAME.bin` — every walked `BR_STANDARD_HEADER`-prefixed record's raw bytes, filename-tagged with its type code. Lets callers inspect the INDEX_TYPE_* records whose body layouts remain TODO.`userdata/NAME` — when the file was produced by this project's writer, the user-data envelopes (`UserDataTypeTag`) are unwrapped and their original filename + payload are emitted under a `userdata/` prefix.Create() — round-trip honest: the writer emits a wire-format correct BIFH+INFO+BIFT container with sealed CRCs. The container round-trips through our own reader. It is not byte-compatible with the AOMEI Backupper application: the head/tail body fields (0x650 / 0x668 bytes after the standard header) are zero-filled because their layout is TODO in the recovered spec. Containers produced here advertise compression / encryption / backup-type via standard INFO records, and wrap user inputs in a vendor-namespace `UserDataTypeTag` envelope so the project's own reader can extract them again.

 R/O metadata descriptor for Paragon Backup & Recovery (`.pbf`) sector-image backup files. Surfaces the corrected (TrID-documented) `"PImg"` magic, a synthetic `metadata.ini` describing the multi-file companion convention and the format-evolution history, and the raw image bytes; no real entry walk is attempted. Promotion outcome: R/O metadata only. The earlier Stage-0 baseline declined any promotion entirely; this revision corrects the detection magic against the public spec and surfaces what little structural information is publicly documented. R/W is still blocked: the byte layout after the 4-byte magic is undocumented, the format is proprietary, vendor restore-only since HDM 16. What the deep-RE research established:Real magic, not the Stage-0 guess. The TrID file-identifier database catalogues the "Paragon Backup Format image" header as the 4-byte ASCII tag `"PImg"` (hex `50 49 6D 67`) at offset 0, cross-confirmed by file-extension.net, recoveryutility.com, and datenrettungtool.de. The earlier Stage-0 baseline had used the ASCII tags `"PBF"` / `"PBR1"`, which were a guess from the format's display name and never observed in real samples — those have been replaced by the documented `"PImg"` signature. Multi-file archive convention is documented. Per Paragon KB article 767 ("Archive Formats"), a complete Paragon backup directory contains: `.pbf` main image / legacy pre-HDM-11 index; `.pfi` Paragon Backup Index Data (main index since HDM 11 / late 2011, small and used to ship deltas over the network); `.pfm` Image Descriptor sidecar consumed by Paragon's Image Explorer for fast browsing; and split data chunks `.000` / `.001` / `.002` / ... at the ~4 GB segment boundary. Format-evolution timeline is documented. PBF was the sole index up to HDM 10 (2009/2010); HDM 11 (late 2011) introduced PFI and demoted PBF to the data file; HDM 14 introduced pVHD (Paragon Virtual Hard Disk) as the new container, with PBF still primary under "Smart Backup"; HDM 15 made pVHD the default, with PBF only via "Legacy Mode"; HDM 16+ removed PBF creation entirely — restore-only. R/W blockers that remain after research. The byte layout after the 4-byte magic is undocumented in every public source consulted — TrID only catalogues the signature, the Paragon Knowledge Base and the HDM / Backup&Recovery user manuals only describe user-facing operations, and no open-source third-party PBF reader exists. The block index, per-cluster allocation bitmap (sector-based mode), snapshot / incremental chain framing, on-disk compressor identifier, per-block frame header, and per-segment split-archive trailer all remain proprietary. The format is also obsolete for creation since HDM 16. Deep-RE audit conclusion. Twelve research vectors were pursued past the bare TrID signature on top of the Stage-0 -> R/O baseline: asmodean expimg (false lead, Japanese visual-novel format unrelated to Paragon), Paragon HDM SDK (partitioning only), Paragon-Software- Group + Paragon-Backup-Recovery GitHub orgs (no backup-format code), USPTO patent search (no Paragon-assigned PBF-layout disclosure), EnCase / X-Ways / FTK forensic-suite custom-carver repositories (no Paragon-PBF-specific carver), Russian Habr / Toster.ru threads, paragon284.rssing.com Drive Backup forum mirror (community confirms the conceptual triple {index, metadata, compressed} but no byte-level layout), Gary Kessler / SEARCH file-signatures table (no PBF entry), Kaitai Struct + 010 Editor / Hexinator / Synalize It! / ImHex template libraries (no `.ksy` / `.bt` template for PBF), Paragon Scripting Language User Manual (0-9 compression dial, `*.pbf` exclusion only), and the Paragon ExtFS / NTFS3 / UFSD / APFS-SDK-CE open-source releases (filesystem drivers only, share no structures with PBF). All twelve vectors dead-ended. The audit produced one material correction: legacy PBF is unencrypted; password protection, compression and splitting are pVHD-only per the B&R 17 / HDM 16 manuals — the earlier baseline's "optional AES with vendor KDF" blocker was incorrect and is retired. Stage stays at R/O metadata; the audit trail is persisted in `metadata.ini` as `re_audit_*` keys so the next maintainer doesn't repeat it. Sources (all public, all consulted during the R/O promotion): TrID file-identifier database; Paragon KB articles 767 (Archive Formats) and 262 (Backup Types); Paragon Backup & Recovery 17 User Manual; Paragon Hard Disk Manager 16 User Manual; cross-references via file-extension.net, recoveryutility.com, datenrettungtool.de, openthefile.net, fileinfo.com, file.org, solvusoft.com.

-Reader for EnCase Expert Witness Format (EWF) forensic images — the .e01/.ewf/.l01 family used by EnCase and libewf. Walks the section chain starting at offset 13 (just past the 8-byte signature + 1-byte fields_start + 2-byte segment + 2-byte fields_end) and surfaces each section's raw bytes along with parsed metadata. Full sector decompression is deferred.

+| `OptionsSchema` | `IReadOnlyList<FormatOptionDescriptor> OptionsSchema { get; }` | The writer-honoured knob is the disc title, written as the 19-byte ASCII title in the root directory tail. The writer always emits the ADFS-L 640 KiB / 256-byte-sector geometry, so disc size is not exposed. |

+| `Add` | `void Add(Stream archive, IReadOnlyList<ArchiveInputInfo> inputs)` | Adds (or replaces by name) files inside an existing ADFS-L image. Uses `AdfsModifier` for in-place mutation against the old-map FSM and Hugo-bracketed root directory — only the FSM sectors, the root directory, and the file's freshly-allocated data sectors are touched. |
+| `Create` | `void Create(Stream output, IReadOnlyList<ArchiveInputInfo> inputs, FormatCreateOptions options)` | Emits a fresh ADFS-L disc image (640 KiB, old-map, 256-byte sectors) containing the supplied inputs at the root directory. Capacity is validated up-front against the 2 553 usable data sectors (total 2 560 minus 2 for the FSM and 5 for the root directory). |
+| `Defragment` | `void Defragment(Stream archive, DefragOptions options)` | Lays the disc out again by moving what is out of place. An old-map file is one contiguous run and its directory entry says which sector it starts at, so a move is the copy plus three bytes; the free-space map is written once from the finished layout. |
+| `EnumerateExtents` | `IEnumerable<DefragBlockInfo> EnumerateExtents(Stream image)` | Where an old-map disc keeps its bytes: the free-space map, the root directory, and each file's contiguous run of sectors. A new-map disc describes nothing here — see `AdfsExtentMap`. |

+
+In-place R/W modifier for Acorn ADFS-L (old-map, 256-byte sectors, 640 KiB) images. Performs Add / Remove against the existing on-disk Hugo-bracketed root directory and the two-sector free-space map (FSM).
+

+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `AddFile` | `static void AddFile(Stream image, string name, byte[] data)` | Adds a single file (no path component — root-level only) to an existing ADFS-L image. The image stream must be seekable, writable, and exactly `DiskSizeL` bytes long. If the name already exists the caller should `RemoveFile` first; this method does not dedupe (matches AppleDOS modifier semantics). |
+| `AddFile` | `static void AddFile(Stream image, string name, byte[] data, uint loadAddr, uint execAddr, byte attrs)` | Adds a file with explicit load/exec addresses and attribute byte. |
+| `RemoveFile` | `static bool RemoveFile(Stream image, string name)` | Removes a named file from an existing ADFS-L image. Returns `true` if a matching entry was found and removed. The file's data sectors are wiped (zeroed) and returned to the FSM with adjacent-region merging so the free list stays compact. |

D = directory. We support the "old map" (S/M/L) variant by default; the newer D/E/F variants use 1024-byte sectors and a different free-space map but the directory layout is similar.

Stage 1 caveat: only direct-block file references are extractable; multi- block files requiring full anode-tree traversal will report a partial extraction. The reader robustly lists all dirblock entries regardless. Stage 1 writer emits boot + root + linear dirblock chain + contiguous per-file data extents (anode-as-direct-block convention) — self-round-trip clean with the matching reader. Stage 1 R/W (this descriptor) adds in-place Add/Remove against the same shape via `AmigaPfsModifier`; image is still not FS-UAE/WinUAE mountable (full PFS3aio anode-table / bitmap / rootinfo emission deferred to a future Stage 2 promotion).

+| `Add` | `void Add(Stream archive, IReadOnlyList<ArchiveInputInfo> inputs)` | Appends or replaces files inside an existing Stage 1 PFS3 image. Each `inputs` entry is removed by name first (so callers get replace-by-name semantics) and then written through `AmigaPfsModifier` — touching only the affected dirblock, any newly chained dirblock, and the file's contiguous data extent. |
+| `Create` | `void Create(Stream output, IReadOnlyList<ArchiveInputInfo> inputs, FormatCreateOptions options)` | Creates a fresh PFS3 image from `inputs`. Directories surface as PFS dirblock entries with the directory type bit set; nested paths flatten into the root dirblock for parity with the Stage 1 reader. Image grows past the conventional 880 KB DD floppy when content requires. |
+| `Defragment` | `void Defragment(Stream archive)` |  |
+| `Defragment` | `void Defragment(Stream archive, DefragOptions options)` | Lays the volume out again. A file here is one contiguous run of blocks whose start is the anode number in its directory entry, so a move is the copy plus four bytes — cheaper than reading every file out and writing a fresh volume, which is what the inherited default did for the one mode it offered. |
+| `EnumerateExtents` | `IEnumerable<DefragBlockInfo> EnumerateExtents(Stream image)` | Reports the volume's layout: the boot block, root block and dirblock chain, then each file's contiguous extent, with everything between and after them free.

The dirblock entry bytes and the file's data extent are zeroed; the freed blocks are not currently re-used by subsequent `Add` calls (Stage 1 has no free-list bookkeeping — extents grow past the high-water mark). |
+| `WipeUnusedSpace` | `long WipeUnusedSpace(Stream image, bool wipeClusterTips = true, bool wipeDeletedEntries = true)` | Zeros every byte no live file occupies. A file is one contiguous extent, so the gaps between them — and the tail past the last one — are the volume's free space. Cluster-tip wiping is inherent: an extent is reported at its logical length, so the padding to the block boundary counts as free. |
+
+#### `AmigaPfsModifier`
+
+Random-access in-place modifier for Stage 1 PFS3 images produced by `AmigaPfsWriter`. Adds and removes entries against the same on-disk shape `AmigaPfsReader` parses: root block, linear dirblock chain (id 0xC4 / 0xCC, next-chain pointer at +12, variable-length entries from +20), and per-file contiguous data extents whose starting block number is recorded as the entry's anode field. Stage 1 scope. This modifier preserves the writer's "anode-as-direct-block" convention: each file's data sits at `anode * BlockSize`, not in an anode table. The full PFS3aio anode table / bitmap / rootinfo machinery is still deferred to a future Stage 2 promotion, so mutated images are not FS-UAE/WinUAE mountable. Self-round-trip through `AmigaPfsReader` is the only correctness gate. Allocation policy. Data extents always live past the high-water mark of (last dirblock, last existing file extent). The image is grown via `SetLength` when a new file's extent or a newly chained dirblock pushes past the current length. Removed extents are zeroed in place; the freed range is not currently re-used by subsequent adds (no free-list bookkeeping — the writer never allocated one).

+| `AddFile` | `static void AddFile(Stream image, string name, byte[] data, DateTime? modTime = null)` | Adds `name` with `data` to the image. If an entry with the same name already exists it is removed first (replace-by-name semantics, matching the descriptor's `Add`). |
+| `RemoveFile` | `static bool RemoveFile(Stream image, string name, bool wipeData = true)` | Removes `name` from the image (if present). Returns true on success, false if the entry wasn't found. The file's data extent and the dirblock entry bytes are zeroed when `wipeData` is true. |
+
+#### `AmigaPfsReader`
+
+Reader for Amiga Professional File System (PFS3 / PFS3aio) — a high performance Amiga filesystem authored by Michiel Pelt & Toni Wilen. On-disk layout (BIG-endian, 512-byte blocks on floppy, configurable on HD): Block 0..1 boot block — first 4 bytes are the disk signature: "PFS\x02" (older PFS2), "PFS\x03" (PFS3) or "PFSa" (PFS3aio). Bytes 2-5 of byte 0..3 of block 0 may also carry "muFS" (multi-user fs variant). For this reader we accept the 3 standard PFS signatures. Root block typically block 80 on a floppy (located via the rootblock pointer in the bootblock). The root block carries: +0 ID 4 bytes "PFS\x02"/"PFS\x03"/"PFSa" +12 rblkcluster u16 +14 blocknr u32 +18 datestamp u32 +22 options u32 +26 diskname 32 bytes (null-padded ASCII) +60 rootinfo (anode pointers) Subsequent fields point to "anode blocks" and "dirblocks". PFS uses a tree of "anodes" — each 4-byte allocation entry pointing to a next block in a file or to the next anode in the chain. A directory is a linked list of "dirblocks", each containing variable-length entries with the filename, anode number, file size, and protection bits. This Stage 1 reader walks the bootblock + root block, identifies the first dirblock chain, and extracts simple file entries that fit in a single block reference (no fragmented file traversal across multiple anodes). Real-world PFS3 multi-block files require full anode-tree traversal which is deferred to Stage 2. Spec source: https://github.com/tonioni/AmigaPFS — public PFS3aio reference implementation; Michiel Pelt's original PFS Technical Note (1995).

+
+#### `AmigaPfsWriter`
+
+Writer for Amiga Professional File System (PFS3) images. Emits the same on-disk shape `AmigaPfsReader` parses: Block 0: boot block — signature "PFS\x03" at +0, root-block pointer (u32 BE) at +8.Root block (default block 80, or as configured): BCPL volume label at +26 (32 bytes max), first dirblock pointer (u32 BE) at +60.Directory block(s): u16 BE id 0xC4 at +0, u32 BE next-chain pointer at +12, u32 BE parent at +16, variable-length entries starting at +20. Each entry carries length, type (bit 7 = directory), 32-bit anode number, 32-bit file size, packed date/time, BCPL filename, and a (zero-length) trailing comment.File data blocks: contiguous run of blocks starting at the file's "anode number". The Stage 1 reader treats `anode * BlockSize` as the start of the file's payload and reads exactly `Size` bytes — i.e. anode is used as a direct block pointer, not as an index into an anode-table. The writer matches that convention by allocating each file's payload as a single contiguous extent. PFS3aio (Toni Wilen's reference implementation) and Michiel Pelt's original 1995 PFS technical note describe far richer on-disk structures (anode tables, root-info pointers to anode/dir B-trees, bitmap blocks, deldir, rblkcluster groups). The Stage 1 reader explicitly does not walk those structures, so the writer's output is intentionally a Stage 1 skeleton: signature + root block + linear dirblock chain + contiguous file extents. It is sufficient for self-round-trip with the matching reader and for descriptors that exercise the WORM `Create` path. It is not mountable in FS-UAE / WinUAE — full anode/bitmap emission would be required for emulator parity and is deferred to a Stage 2 promotion.

+#### `ApfsFilesystemDriverAdapter`
+
+Native APFS read-only sidecar for the fully decoded single-extent profile. It uses APFS inode/object IDs directly and serves regular-file reads from the physical FILE_EXTENT mapping without passing through archive extraction. The sidecar intentionally requires the repository writer's verified container-OMAP physical hint. ApfsReader can also heuristically discover OMAP objects on broader real-world images, but that is not enough evidence to call encrypted, multi-extent, fusion or otherwise advanced profiles mount-grade. Those remain available through the conservative archive projection until the corresponding APFS transaction/object-map semantics are proven.

+Descriptor for Apple UCSD Pascal disk volumes (Apple II, Apple III, Lisa Pascal — late 1970s / early 1980s). Volume directory header is at fixed disk block 2 (file offset 0x400); files are stored as contiguous block extents with at most 77 directory entries. Flat-only by spec. Apple Pascal does not support subdirectories — its 26-byte directory entry has no parent-pointer or nested-volume indirection. Writer / reader treat all inputs as living at the volume root; a leaf-name-only round trip is the maximum possible. This is honest and documented in the writer's xmldoc.Spec.

+#### `ApplePascalInPlaceModifier`
+
+In-place modifier for Apple UCSD Pascal disk volumes. Performs `Add`, `Replace`, and `Remove` against an existing image without rebuilding the entire volume. The companion `ApplePascalWriter` still serves the WORM "build a fresh image from a file list" path; this class handles the "mutate an existing image" path that `IArchiveModifiable` exposes. Spec source. Apple Pascal Operating System Reference Manual (1979/1980). 512-byte blocks, volume directory at blocks 2-5 (file offset 0x400), 26-byte fixed entries packed back-to-back after the 26-byte volume header, hard cap of 77 file entries (78 × 26 = 2028 bytes fits inside the 4-block 2048-byte directory region).Layout reminders (little-endian throughout):Blocks 0-1: boot blocks (1024 bytes total) — untouched by the modifier.Blocks 2-5: volume directory (2048 bytes). First 26 bytes = volume header; next 77 × 26 = 2002 bytes = file entries.Volume header: `firstBlock=0` at +0, `nextBlock` at +2 (= first file's start block, conventionally 6), entry type = 0 at +4, name length at +6, name at +7..+13, total blocks at +14, file count at +16, first to access (cached) at +18, last-mod date at +20, reserved at +24.File entry: start block at +0, end block (exclusive) at +2, file kind at +4, name length at +6, name at +7..+21, bytes-in-last-block at +22, date at +24.File data: blocks 6.. — every file occupies a single contiguous extent `[startBlock, endBlock)`.Scope match with WORM: the modifier respects the same 77-entry cap and the 8-block-tile rounding for the underlying volume size. The flat directory is the only directory — Apple Pascal has no subdirectories by spec.

+| `AddFile` | `static void AddFile(Stream image, string name, byte[] data, int kind = 0)` | Adds a single file to the existing image. If a file with the same name already exists, it is removed first (its extent zero-wiped and its directory entry shifted out) so the new entry replaces it cleanly. The new file's contiguous extent is allocated by scanning every live directory entry to derive the occupied-block map; the first free run of the required size at or after block 6 is chosen. |
+| `RemoveFile` | `static bool RemoveFile(Stream image, string name, bool wipeData = true)` | Removes the named file from the existing image. Zero-wipes the file's contiguous extent, shifts the trailing directory entries up to keep the live region packed (Apple Pascal walks entries 0..fileCount and stops — holes would orphan everything after), and decrements the file count. |
+| `ReplaceFileIfFits` | `static bool ReplaceFileIfFits(Stream image, string name, byte[] data)` | Replaces the data of an existing file in place when the new payload fits inside the file's currently allocated extent. Returns false when the file is missing or the new payload exceeds the existing extent — the caller can fall back to `RemoveFile` + `AddFile` in that case. The directory entry's `bytesInLastBlock` field is updated so the reader reports the new logical size correctly. |

+#### `ApplePascalWriter`
+
+Writes Apple UCSD Pascal disk volumes (Apple II / Apple III / Lisa Pascal era, late 1970s–early 1980s). UCSD Pascal is an extent-based filesystem: every file occupies a contiguous block range. The volume directory at disk block 2 (file offset 0x400) holds the 26-byte volume header followed by up to 77 file entries. Flat by spec. Apple Pascal volumes are flat — there are no subdirectories. Files written with '/' or '\' in the input name have those chars stripped to a single 15-char short name. The writer enforces the 77-entry maximum and rejects names that don't fit.Always 512-byte blocks (spec-mandated); the only sizing knob is the total block count. Typical sizes: 280 blocks (140 KB single-sided 5.25" floppy), 560 (280 KB double-sided), or larger for ProFile / Lisa hard disks. Pascal convention: volume size in blocks is a multiple of 8 (one allocation tile = 8 blocks = 4 KB).

+
+Stage 0 detection-only reader for BeeGFS chunk-file / dump tags. BeeGFS (Fraunhofer Parallel Cluster FS, originally FhGFS) is a distributed parallel cluster filesystem. There is no standalone on-disk image format for a BeeGFS volume: the namespace lives across one or more metadata targets (each a directory tree on a regular Linux FS like ext4/xfs, with per-inode metadata stored as files + extended attributes), and the file payload lives across many storage targets (chunk files in a 2-level hash directory layout on the storage targets' regular Linux FS). Reconstructing a single logical file requires the live metadata-server stripe pattern + storage-target map; a single byte-stream cannot represent it. This descriptor therefore only verifies the ASCII tag `"BeeGFS"` (6 bytes, 0x42 0x65 0x65 0x47 0x46 0x53) or the short 4-byte tag `"BeeG"` (0x42 0x65 0x65 0x47 = 0x42656547 BE) at offset 0 of a chunk-file or dump produced by a BeeGFS utility, and surfaces a synthetic `metadata.ini` documenting the tag + a raw `beegfs-chunk.bin` blob containing the file bytes verbatim. Promotion to R/O is not possible from a single stream — see `Description` on the descriptor.

+Writer for Commodore nibble containers. It supports two distinct layers: ordinary Commodore files are first placed into a D64 and GCR-encoded, while pseudo-archive callers can directly build G64/NIB containers from opaque `track_XX.bin` payloads without touching the filesystem inside them.

+Stage 0 detection-only descriptor for CephFS / RADOS OSD object metadata dumps. Surfaces only a synthetic `metadata.ini` and the raw image bytes; no real file-walk is attempted. Stage-0 confirmation — promotion to R/O is structurally impossible from a single image. CephFS has no standalone on-disk image format. A CephFS volume consists of:Metadata (inodes, dirfrags, MDS journal) stored as RADOS objects inside a dedicated metadata pool, managed by one or more MDS daemons. Resolving a path requires replaying the MDS journal and walking dirfrag objects across the metadata pool.File data striped across many RADOS objects (default 4 MiB stripe-unit, named `{inode}.{stripe-index}`) and placed across OSDs via CRUSH against the cluster's mon-map / osd-map / CRUSH-map — none of which live in any single file.OSDs themselves store those RADOS objects in a BlueStore (RocksDB + raw-block) or legacy FileStore backend; neither exposes CephFS-level paths.Reconstructing a CephFS namespace would require: (a) a full OSD-set snapshot, (b) the live mon/mds cluster state (osd-map, mds-map, CRUSH-map), and (c) a BlueStore reader. Even with all three, the result is OSD-level objects, not CephFS-level paths. Treatment confirmed: stay Stage 0.

+
+Stage 0 detection-only reader for CephFS / RADOS OSD object metadata dumps. Ceph is a distributed object store (RADOS) with the CephFS POSIX namespace layered over it via MDS daemons — files become RADOS objects sharded across many OSDs. Single OSD object metadata dumps begin with the ASCII tag `"CEPH"` (0x43 0x45 0x50 0x48 = 0x43455048 BE). Only the tag is verified. Full RADOS semantics (object name → PG mapping via CRUSH, replica/EC erasure coding, MDS namespace resolution) require a live Ceph cluster's mon/mds state. Stage-0 confirmation (no promotion possible from a single image). A CephFS volume is metadata-in-pool plus data-striped-across-OSDs:Metadata pool: inodes, dirfrags, and the MDS journal live as RADOS objects in a dedicated pool, mutated by MDS daemons. Path resolution requires journal replay + dirfrag walking across many objects.Data objects: each file is striped (default stripe-unit 4 MiB) into RADOS objects named `{inode-hex}.{stripe-index-hex}`, then placed via CRUSH against the cluster's mon-map / osd-map / CRUSH-map.OSD backing store: BlueStore (RocksDB key/value index over a raw block device) or legacy FileStore (object → file on a local POSIX FS). Neither stores CephFS-level paths.Promotion to R/O would require simultaneous access to a full OSD-set snapshot, the live cluster maps (mon/mds/osd/CRUSH), and a BlueStore reader — and even then the surface is OSD-level objects, not CephFS-level paths. Conclusion: stay Stage 0. The honest deliverable is magic-tag detection + metadata.ini + raw bytes.

+
+#### `CoherentInPlaceModifier`
+
+True in-place R/W modifier for Mark Williams Coherent OS filesystem images. V7-derived s5fs layout: 512-byte blocks, 64-byte inodes (10 direct + 1/2/3 indirect 3-byte zone pointers), 16-byte directory entries (u16 inode + 14-byte NUL-padded name), superblock at file offset 1024 with magic `0xFD18` at offset 504. In-place semantic. All three public operations mutate the image stream at fixed byte offsets — no full rebuild, no temporary buffer of the whole image: Add — scan the inode table for free slots (mode == 0), scan the data area [`2 + s_isize`, `s_fsize`) for unreferenced zones, write the new inode + indirect blocks + data blocks at those exact offsets, append a 16-byte dirent into the root directory. The underlying stream is extended (and `s_fsize` bumped) only when free zones are exhausted.Replace — locate the entry's inode by leaf name. If the new payload fits inside the inode's existing on-disk zones, rewrite the data zones byte-for-byte at their current block offsets and patch `i_size`. Untouched zones (other files, the inode list, the superblock, the root directory) remain byte-identical. If the new payload no longer fits in the existing zones the operation falls back to Remove + Add.Remove — zero the 16-byte dirent slot in the root directory, zero every zone the inode reaches (direct + single-indirect pointer block + its data blocks + double-indirect pointer block + per-row indirect blocks + their data blocks + triple-indirect chain), zero the 64-byte inode slot. Both the freed zones and the dirent are wiped so no forensic recovery of the removed entry's content or name is possible.Honest scope. Subdirectory mutation is not supported — Add and Remove operate on the root directory only. Replace honours the same root-only convention. Multi-component names are flattened to their leaf before lookup (matching the way `CoherentWriter` emits them and the way the format's 14-byte dirents enforce). The inode table is sized by the WORM writer to the originally-committed files, so adding more files than the table can hold raises `IOException` — callers that want unbounded growth must rebuild the image.The heavy lifting (free-inode scan with SB-overlap exclusion, free-zone reachability scan, tier-aware zone allocation across direct + single-indirect + double-indirect, dirent slot reuse, indirect-pointer block wiping) lives in `CoherentModifier`; this class is the public canonical-signature surface that the descriptor delegates to.
+
+| Member | Signature | Summary |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `Add` | `static void Add(Stream image, IReadOnlyList<ArchiveInputInfo> inputs)` | Adds the given files to the root directory of `image` using V7-style in-place inode + zone allocation. Each input's leaf name (last path component, truncated to 14 bytes) is used as the on-disk dirent name; an existing entry with the same leaf is replaced. |
+| `Remove` | `static bool Remove(Stream image, string name)` | Removes the named root-level entry from `image`. Wipes every reachable zone (data + indirect pointer blocks) and the inode slot, then clears the 16-byte dirent so the slot is reusable by a subsequent Add. Returns false when the name is not present or refers to a directory; true on success. |
+| `Replace` | `static bool Replace(Stream image, string name, byte[] newData)` | Replaces the contents of the named root-level entry with `newData`. When the new payload fits inside the entry's existing direct/indirect zone footprint the rewrite happens at the original block offsets — all other on-disk bytes (other inodes, other files' data, the superblock, the root directory dirent layout) remain byte-identical. Falls back to Remove + Add when the existing zones can no longer hold the new payload, or when the entry does not yet exist. Returns true when the rewrite happened in place, false on the realloc fall-back path. |
+
+#### `CoherentModifier`
+
+In-place Coherent FS modifier — random-access Add/Remove against a Coherent image emitted by `CoherentWriter` (or anything else with the same V7-flavoured layout: 512-byte blocks, 64-byte inodes, 24-bit zone pointers, magic 0xFD18 at file offset 1528). Free space discovery. Coherent's V7-style on-disk free-list uses a chained free-block list seeded from `s_free[]/s_nfree` in the superblock and a free-inode cache `s_inode[]/s_ninode`. The `CoherentWriter` intentionally leaves both caches at zero (a fresh image has no free chain yet — the data area is exactly sized to the committed files). The modifier therefore allocates by: Inodes: scanning the inode table for slots whose mode is zero.Zones: building the set of zones reachable from the inode table (direct + single/double/triple indirect pointer blocks themselves and their data zones) and treating any zone in [dataStart, fsize) that is not reachable as free. If none free, the image is grown by extending the underlying stream and bumping `s_fsize`. This matches what V7 `fsck` would reconstruct after a crash that trashed the free-list caches: walk every inode, mark referenced zones, rebuild the free list from the gaps.Tier selection on Add. The same tier rules the writer uses are applied: ≤10 data blocks → direct; ≤10+170 → single-indirect; bigger → double-indirect. Triple-indirect is not emitted (the writer never does either; ~14.5 MB per file is the practical ceiling).Wiping on Remove. The freed data zones AND any freed indirect/double-indirect pointer blocks are zeroed before the inode is cleared. The dirent slot is cleared (inode set to zero, name bytes zeroed) so no forensic recovery of the removed entry's name is possible either. Trailing slack inside the file's last block is wiped via the data-block zeroing.

+| `AddFile` | `static void AddFile(Stream image, string name, byte[] data)` | Adds a file at root level. Replaces any existing entry with the same (truncated) leaf name. Allocates inode + zones in place; grows the underlying stream if free zones are exhausted. |
+| `RemoveFile` | `static bool RemoveFile(Stream image, string name, bool wipeData = true)` | Removes a file by name from the root directory. Frees all referenced zones (direct + indirect pointer blocks + their data blocks), zeros the inode slot, clears the dirent. Returns false if the entry is not found or refers to a directory. |
+
+#### `CoherentReader`
+
+Reader for Mark Williams Coherent OS file system (1983-1995). Coherent is a commercial UNIX V7/System V clone with a near-identical s5fs-style layout but a distinct 16-bit magic (0xFD18 at superblock+504) and 14-character directory entries like Minix v1's 14-name variant. Block size is 512 by default (sometimes 1024). Inode size is 64 bytes with 13 block pointers (10 direct + 1/2/3 indirect) stored as 3-byte addresses. Root inode = 2. Spec source: Mark Williams Company "The Coherent Operating System Reference Manual" (1992); Coherent kernel header /usr/include/sys/filsys.h.

+Builds minimal Mark Williams Coherent OS filesystem images compatible with `CoherentReader`. WORM emission: produces a fresh image; existing content is overwritten. Layout (BlockSize = 512, matches the reader's hard-coded assumptions): The writer fills in V7-flavoured superblock fields (s_isize, s_fsize, s_nfree/s_free free-block cache, s_ninode/s_inode free-inode cache, s_time, magic 0xFD18) so an external Coherent-aware reader can mount the image (the in-tree reader only checks the magic). Files use direct zone pointers (up to 10 per inode, 5120 bytes with 512-byte blocks). Larger files use one single-indirect zone (extra 512/3 ≈ 170 zones = 87,040 bytes). Larger still falls back to the double-indirect zone slot for up to ~14.5 MB per file. The directory hierarchy is flat: every input is added under the root inode using its leaf filename (Coherent dir entries are 16 bytes total, 14 bytes for the name, so longer names are truncated).

-| `EnumerateExtents` | `IEnumerable<DefragBlockInfo> EnumerateExtents(Stream image)` | Walks the directory chain on track 18 and yields the actual on-disk byte layout — track 18 (BAM + directory) as `MetadataReserved`, every per-file sector chain as one or more contiguous-run extents, and the un-attributed sectors as `Free`.

-| `MoveExtent` | `void MoveExtent(Stream image, long srcOffset, long dstOffset, long length, bool zeroSource = false)` |  |
-| `OpenEntry` | `Stream OpenEntry(Stream archive, string entryName, string password)` | Opens a single filesystem entry as a bounded read-only stream. The reader produces the decoded file bytes by walking the entry's extent or block chain; the matched bytes are wrapped in a `BoundedEntryStream` sized to the entry's logical length so cluster/extent slack past the entry's end is physically unreachable through this view. |
-| `Remove` | `void Remove(Stream archive, string[] entryNames)` | Removes the named entries from an existing D64 image. Uses `D64Modifier` for O(touched bytes) random-access I/O — walks the file chain, marks each sector free in the BAM, secure-wipes data sectors, and clears the directory entry's file-type byte. |

-| `WipeUnusedSpace` | `long WipeUnusedSpace(Stream image, bool wipeClusterTips = true, bool wipeDeletedEntries = true)` | Zeros all unused space in a D64 image: unallocated sectors and the cluster-tip slack at the tail of each file's last sector. A D64 file is a linked chain of 256-byte sectors — each carries a 2-byte next-track/next-sector link followed by up to 254 data bytes. The final sector's link is `(0, used+1)`, so the bytes after the last used data byte up to the sector boundary are slack. Those slack bytes are zero-filled when `wipeClusterTips` is set, while the 2-byte link headers, live file data, and the track-18 BAM/directory are preserved. Because file content is interleaved with per-sector link bytes and chains may be fragmented, the simple "offset + size" cluster-tip model of the generic wiper does not apply; tip wiping is done here by walking each chain to its final sector. Free-space wiping is delegated to the generic wiper using the extent map. |
+| `Remove` | `void Remove(Stream archive, string[] entryNames)` | Removes the named entries in place: marks the directory entry deleted (user code 0xE5) and wipes the data run. |
+| `WipeUnusedSpace` | `long WipeUnusedSpace(Stream image, bool wipeClusterTips = true, bool wipeDeletedEntries = true)` | Zeros every byte in the image not claimed by the boot block, the directory area, or a live file's contiguous sector run. Cluster-tip wiping (slack between the file's real size and its rounded-up sector allocation) is honoured when `wipeClusterTips` is true, using the directory entry's record count. |
 
-#### `D64Modifier`
+#### `CromemcoModifier`
 
-In-place D64 modifier. Performs add / remove on an existing 1541 disk image with strict O(touched bytes) I/O — only reads the BAM (1 sector), the directory chain (≤19 sectors), and the affected file's data chain (one sector per 254 bytes of file data). Never reads or writes the entire image, so this scales to multi-TB virtual-disk images even though D64 itself is 174 848 bytes. The companion `D64Writer` rebuilds an image from scratch; this class is for the "I have an existing image, mutate it" path that `IArchiveModifiable` exposes.Layout reminders (for the reader of this code, not for the disk): 1541 geometry: 35 tracks; 21 / 19 / 18 / 17 sectors per zone (1-17 / 18-24 / 25-30 / 31-35).Each sector is 256 bytes. Total image: 174 848 bytes.BAM lives at track 18 / sector 0. Directory chain starts at track 18 / sector 1.Each file is a chain of sectors. Each sector starts with 2 bytes (T,S of next sector, or T=0 + S=byte-count+1 for the last sector). Remaining 254 bytes are file data.Each directory sector holds 8 entries of 32 bytes. Bytes 0-1 of the sector store the T,S of the next directory sector (or 0,$FF if last). Entries 1-7 have unused bytes at offsets +0 and +1.
+In-place modifier for Cromemco RDOS volumes. Performs add / remove with strict O(touched bytes) I/O — only the 2 KB directory area (sectors 2..17, where the 32-byte entries live) and the affected file's contiguous data run are read or written. The rest of the image is untouched, so existing files' data bytes stay byte-identical at their original offsets and a same-size update never changes the image length. RDOS is extent-based with no allocation bitmap: each file is a single contiguous run of 128-byte sectors described by (start block, record count) in its directory entry. Free space is whatever no live entry claims. This modifier therefore reconstructs the in-use sector ranges from the directory to find a free contiguous run for new data, and allocates contiguously so the reader's contiguous extraction keeps working.Directory entry (32 bytes, from file offset 0x100): user code @0 (0xE5 = deleted, 0x00 = live/empty), name @1..8, ext @9..11, start block u16 LE @0x0C, records u16 LE @0x0E, bytes-in-last-sector @0x10.

+R/O descriptor for SGI CXFS (Cluster XFS) volume images.

CXFS-specific cluster metadata (sb_features2 flags, cluster UUIDs, distributed-lock bookkeeping) is intentionally ignored — those are the CMS / dmF / RGM layers, not file content. If the XFS reader cannot walk the image the descriptor falls back to a Stage-0 `metadata.ini` + `cxfs-volume.bin` surface so the volume is still identifiable. Extension-only detection (`.cxfs`) avoids first-match collision with the vanilla FileSystem.Xfs descriptor — both share the same magic bytes.

+#### `CxfsReader`
+
+R/O reader for SGI CXFS (Cluster XFS) volume images via delegation to `XfsReader`. CXFS is SGI's clustered extension of XFS. The on-disk format is XFS-compatible — same `"XFSB"` superblock magic at offset 0, same `xfs_dsb` layout, same `dinode` (IN magic) layout, and same dir2/dir3 directory block formats. CXFS-specific bits live in `sb_features2` (offset 0x82) and in cluster-tracking fields that the lock-managing layer (CMS / dmF) consults at mount time; they do not modify the file/directory on-disk structures.Because of that, a CXFS DAT image whose XFS layer is well-formed is readable by the vanilla XFS reader. This reader first tries the XFS reader; on success it surfaces the underlying XFS entries to the caller (cluster metadata is intentionally ignored — that is the distributed-lock / quorum / RGM layer, not file content). On failure it falls back to the Stage-0 `metadata.ini` + `cxfs-volume.bin` surface so the descriptor still identifies the image.Honest caveat: real CXFS production volumes may use SGI-private fork formats for cluster-quota and DMAPI metadata that the open-source XFS reader does not understand; such inodes will simply be skipped by the XFS reader (it ignores unknown `di_format` values), and any data lurking in CXFS-only metadata regions will not be surfaced. Plain file content stored as XFS extents / inline data IS readable.

+#### `D64Modifier`
+
+In-place D64 modifier. Performs add / remove on an existing 1541 disk image with strict O(touched bytes) I/O — only reads the BAM (1 sector), the directory chain (≤19 sectors), and the affected file's data chain (one sector per 254 bytes of file data). Never reads or writes the entire image, so this scales to multi-TB virtual-disk images even though D64 itself is 174 848 bytes. The companion `D64Writer` rebuilds an image from scratch; this class is for the "I have an existing image, mutate it" path that `IArchiveModifiable` exposes.Layout reminders (for the reader of this code, not for the disk): 1541 geometry: 35 tracks; 21 / 19 / 18 / 17 sectors per zone (1-17 / 18-24 / 25-30 / 31-35).Each sector is 256 bytes. Total image: 174 848 bytes.BAM lives at track 18 / sector 0. Directory chain starts at track 18 / sector 1.Each file is a chain of sectors. Each sector starts with 2 bytes (T,S of next sector, or T=0 + S=byte-count+1 for the last sector). Remaining 254 bytes are file data.Each directory sector holds 8 entries of 32 bytes. Bytes 0-1 of the sector store the T,S of the next directory sector (or 0,$FF if last). Entries 1-7 have unused bytes at offsets +0 and +1.

+| `AddFile` | `static void AddFile(Stream image, string name, byte[] data, byte fileType = 130)` | Adds a file to the existing D64 image. Performs in-place modification: allocates new sectors via BAM bit-flips, writes the file chain, writes the directory entry. Bytes touched: 1 BAM sector + ≤ ⌈log₈(entries)⌉ directory sectors + ⌈len/254⌉ file data sectors. |
+| `RemoveFile` | `static bool RemoveFile(Stream image, string name, bool wipeData = true)` | Removes the named file from the existing D64 image. Walks the file's chain to free its sectors in the BAM, optionally wipes data bytes, and clears the directory entry's file-type byte to 0 ("scratched"). Returns true if the file was found and removed, false otherwise. Bytes touched: 1 BAM sector + 1 directory sector + N file sectors. |
+
+#### `D64MountValidator`
+
+Strict mount-time validation for the subset of CBM DOS 2.6 that the namespace driver can mutate losslessly. Read-only parsing may accept more; writable mounting requires exact BAM ownership with no overlapping/orphaned sectors, closed files, and no REL side-sector semantics.

-Descriptor for EROFS images. Reading covers the uncompressed + inline inode layouts; creation produces a minimal uncompressed (FLAT_PLAIN) image via `ErofsWriter`.

+Descriptor for Microsoft DriveSpace 3 CVF (Windows 95 Plus! Pack, 1995). Distinguished from DoubleSpace/DriveSpace 2 by the `MS_DSP3` MDBPB signature at file offset 3 and the `DVR3` CvfSignature at offset 36. The compression algorithm changed from DS LZ77 (DOS 6.x) to MS LZH (LZ77 + canonical Huffman). Read/write/modify/defrag are delegated to the shared DoubleSpace infrastructure (`DoubleSpaceWriter` routed through `DriveSpace3`, `DoubleSpaceReader` with MS LZH dispatch, `DoubleSpaceExtentMap`, `DoubleSpaceBlockMover`) — the on-disk MDBPB+MDFAT+BitFAT layout is byte-compatible across the whole CVF family; only the OEM bytes and inner-cluster codec differ. This brings DriveSpace 3 to full parity with DoubleSpace/DriveSpace 6.22 for defrag, wipe-empty, modify, extent map and block mover. Shares the `.cvf` extension with DoubleSpace; FormatDetector disambiguates by magic.

Per-cluster payload is MS LZH (LZ77 + canonical Huffman) instead of DS LZ77 and publishes the full four-tier effort set — `ms-lzh` (greedy), `ms-lzh+` (lazy matching), `ms-lzh++` (iterated multi-pass). The shrink-or-store fallback inside the codec emits a stored CVF run when the compressed payload would not shrink the cluster, so incompressible regions are not penalised at any effort level. |

Moving what is out of place beats writing the image out anew: EROFS lays a file's blocks out contiguously from the raw block address in its inode, so a move is the copy plus four bytes. The default this replaces offered start-packing only, through a rebuild. |
-| `EnumerateExtents` | `IEnumerable<DefragBlockInfo> EnumerateExtents(Stream image)` | The superblock, inode and directory region is structure; each file's full blocks are the run its inode addresses. A short file whose tail is stored inline with its inode has no run of its own, and needs none. |

Walks the inner FAT chain, zeros each physical run, clears BitFAT bits, zeros MDFAT entries, zeros inner FAT chain, and scratches the dirent (+ LFN chain) with 0xE5. |

+| `WipeUnusedSpace` | `long WipeUnusedSpace(Stream image, bool wipeClusterTips = true, bool wipeDeletedEntries = true)` | Zeros all unused space in the CVF image: every physical sector in the DATA region not claimed by a live file/directory run, plus any gaps outside the metadata regions, is overwritten with zeros. Cluster-tip wiping is not applicable to a CVF — the DATA region holds compressed/stored runs whose physical byte length is unrelated to the logical (uncompressed) file size. |
 
-#### `ErofsReader`
+#### `DriveSpace3Reader`
 
-Reads EROFS (Enhanced Read-Only File System) images as used by Android system/APEX partitions and produced by `mkfs.erofs`. Handles the uncompressed inode layouts (FLAT_PLAIN and FLAT_INLINE) for both compact (32-byte) and extended (64-byte) inodes; LZ4 / LZMA compressed clusters and fragments are deferred — an inode with a compressed datalayout surfaces as a zero-length / unsupported payload rather than failing the whole image. The superblock lives at file offset 1024; on-disk magic is the little-endian word `0xE0F5E1E2` (bytes `E2 E1 F5 E0`). Block size is `2^sb.blkszbits` (almost always 4096). A node id (`nid`) addresses a 32-byte granule measured from `meta_blkaddr * blockSize`, i.e. the inode lives at `meta_blkaddr * blockSize + nid * 32`.
+Reads DriveSpace 3 (Microsoft Plus! Pack for Windows 95, 1995) CVF images. The on-disk layout is the DOS 6.x DBLSPACE/DRVSPACE MDBPB + MDFAT + BitFAT + DATA chain — only the OEM name (`MS_DSP3`), CvfSignature (`DVR3`), and per-cluster compression algorithm (MS LZH instead of DS LZ77) change. Compressed runs (MDFAT flag = 2) are decoded through `MsLzhBlockCodec`; stored runs (flag = 1) are returned verbatim. The inner FAT16 chain is walked starting from each entry's first cluster, with the MDFAT indirection resolving every cluster to its physical run in the DATA region. Clusters without a valid MDFAT mapping fall back to the inner-data mirror, mirroring the strategy used by `FileSystem.DoubleSpace.DoubleSpaceReader`.

-Implements `IEquatable<Entry>`.
+Builds a spec-compliant Microsoft DriveSpace 3 CVF (Windows 95 Plus! Pack, 1995). On-disk layout mirrors the DOS 6.x DBLSPACE/DRVSPACE convention: MDBPB → inner FAT16 → inner root dir → MDFAT → BitFAT → DATA region. The only differences from `FileSystem.DoubleSpace.DoubleSpaceWriter` are: OEM name `MS_DSP3` at offset 3 (vs `MSDSP6.0`/`MSDSP6.2`).CvfSignature `DVR3` at offset 36.Per-cluster compression payload uses the MS LZH codec (see `MsLzhBlockCodec`) instead of DS LZ77.A compression-level byte at offset 75 (DriveSpace 3 BPB extension). This writer emits either stored runs (MDFAT flag = 1) or MS LZH-compressed runs (flag = 2), depending on whether the codec shrinks the cluster. The reader follows the inner FAT chain through the MDFAT indirection back to each compressed run, exactly as DoubleSpace does. Stage 2 self round-trip is the gating requirement; bit-stream parity with Microsoft's reference driver (DRVSPACE.BIN) is a future external-tool conformance gate.

-#### `ErofsWriter`
+#### `GenuineDvr3Reader`
 
-Builds a valid, uncompressed EROFS image from a set of files and their (possibly nested) paths, matching the on-disk encoding produced by `mkfs.erofs` for plain data and accepted by `fsck.erofs`: extended (64-byte) inodes (`erofs_inode_extended`) so size, uid/gid, mtime and a full 32-bit link count are all expressible;the FLAT_INLINE datalayout: any residual tail (object size modulo block size) is stored inline immediately after the inode header, and only whole blocks spill into the data region. Objects smaller than one block carry their entire body inline with the block-address field set to the `0xFFFFFFFF` "no full block" sentinel — exactly as `mkfs.erofs` encodes small files;node ids (`nid`) as 32-byte granules measured from `meta_blkaddr * blockSize`; inodes are packed with their inline tails and the next inode is re-aligned to a 32-byte boundary. Directories are emitted as EROFS directory chunks: a contiguous array of 12-byte `erofs_dirent` headers followed by the packed entry names, with the conventional "." and ".." entries first. Directory bodies follow the same FLAT_INLINE rule.
+Reads a genuine Microsoft DriveSpace 3 CVF — the real `MSDBL6.0`-family layout that `GenuineDvr3Writer` emits and that the independent `dmsdos` driver mounts. This is the read half of the genuine DriveSpace 3 round trip; together with the driver-proven writer it gives a full read/write path over the genuine on-disk format. Layout (little-endian): MDBPB at sector 0 carries the BPB plus the CVF geometry substructure — inner-volume base sector @0x27, MDFAT start @0x24, cluster index base @0x2D, root-dir offset @0x29; sectors/cluster @0x0D = 64; version_flag @0x33 = 3. The inner FAT16 volume lives at the base sector; file data clusters are located through the 5-byte DRVSP3 MDFAT (102 entries per sector + 2 pad bytes). Stored clusters (MDFAT flags = used + uncompressed) are read verbatim; the inner directory's file size truncates the tail.

+#### `GenuineDvr3Writer`
 
-#### `ExFatBlockMover`
+Builds a genuine Microsoft DriveSpace 3 Compressed Volume File (CVF) — the on-disk shape a real DriveSpace 3 driver mounts, verified by the independent GPL `dmsdos` driver (the Linux DoubleSpace/DriveSpace/Stacker driver), which detects this writer's output as "drivespace 3 CVF", mounts it, lists the inner directory and reads every file back byte-exact. Unlike `DriveSpace3Writer` (the older self-round-trip `MS_DSP3`/offset-36 layout — which the real driver rejects), DriveSpace 3 is in fact a member of the DOS `MSDBL6.0` CVF family: the same container as `GenuineCvfWriter`, but distinguished by `64` sectors per cluster (32 KB clusters, boot byte 13), a `version_flag = 3` (boot byte 51) and a 5-byte-per-entry MDFAT (102 entries per sector plus 2 pad bytes) instead of the 4-byte v2 entry. Clusters are stored uncompressed (MDFAT flags = 3: used + uncompressed) and identity-mapped through the MDFAT; the inner volume is FAT16. Inner-directory file sizes truncate each cluster's tail, so we store every cluster as a full 64-sector run with the unused tail zero-padded.
 
-In-place exFAT block mover. Moves cluster-aligned extents and patches FAT chain entries, allocation bitmap, directory entry sets, and VBR PercentInUse. Streaming: never loads the whole image. All metadata updates are targeted writes with `Flush` barriers between the four steps so a crash mid-operation leaves the image in an fsck-recoverable state. The FAT (potentially 50 GB on a 50 TB volume) is navigated via `SectorCache` with a bounded ~256 MB memory cap.

+
+CVF block-framing wrapper for the MS LZH codec used by Microsoft DriveSpace 3 (Win95 Plus! Pack, 1995). Each compressed run consists of a 2-byte little-endian header followed by either an MS LZH-encoded payload (header bit 15 set) or a raw stored payload (bit 15 clear). The low 12 bits encode `payload_size - 1`. This matches the DOS 6.x DBLSPACE/DRVSPACE block-framing convention; only the inner codec changed when DriveSpace 3 shipped.

+#### `EfsInPlaceModifier`
+
+TRUE in-place R/W modifier for the SGI EFS images this project emits. Performs O(touched bytes) random-access mutation: only the affected dinode slot, the root directory block, the file's single data extent and (when the image must grow) the superblock `s_size`/`s_cgfsize` fields are read or written. Every other byte stays byte-identical. The on-disk model is the one written by `EfsWriter`: sector 0 superblock (big-endian), sector 1.. the 128-byte dinode array (inode `N` at index `N - 2`, 4 per 512-byte basic block), then per-file single contiguous extents. There is no free-block bitmap, so fresh extents are appended at the current end of the image — a genuine in-place grow, not a re-pack; removed extents become unreferenced holes a later defrag reclaims.Honest scope: files are stored as one contiguous extent in the root directory. Nested-path adds, inode-table exhaustion, or extents longer than 255 basic blocks (the single-extent length ceiling) throw `IOException` so the descriptor can fall back to a full rebuild.

The image-size sanity guard (≤ 2× sum of files) and the slack guard (≤ 5%) are applied at the blocks-per-file level since EFS' allocation unit is one basic block.

Produces a real `EfsMagic`-tagged superblock at sector 0, a packed inode table directly after the superblock, and the directory + file data in subsequent 512-byte basic blocks. Scope. The on-disk layout follows the IRIX `efs_fs.h` header field positions (size in BB, first_cg, ncg, cg_isize, magic) so existing `TryParse` recognises the image. File bodies are stored as a single direct extent each; directory entries use the variable-length efs_dent format (inode + nlen + name) but always land in a single directory block, so per-directory total payload is capped at one BB minus the dir header. This matches the "flat-+-nested" subset reiserfsprogs would generate for a freshly-created small disk.

+
+#### `ErofsReader`
+
+Reads EROFS (Enhanced Read-Only File System) images as used by Android system/APEX partitions and produced by `mkfs.erofs`. Handles the uncompressed inode layouts (FLAT_PLAIN and FLAT_INLINE) for both compact (32-byte) and extended (64-byte) inodes; LZ4 / LZMA compressed clusters and fragments are deferred — an inode with a compressed datalayout surfaces as a zero-length / unsupported payload rather than failing the whole image. The superblock lives at file offset 1024; on-disk magic is the little-endian word `0xE0F5E1E2` (bytes `E2 E1 F5 E0`). Block size is `2^sb.blkszbits` (almost always 4096). A node id (`nid`) addresses a 32-byte granule measured from `meta_blkaddr * blockSize`, i.e. the inode lives at `meta_blkaddr * blockSize + nid * 32`.

+
+Builds a valid, uncompressed EROFS image from a set of files and their (possibly nested) paths, matching the on-disk encoding produced by `mkfs.erofs` for plain data and accepted by `fsck.erofs`: extended (64-byte) inodes (`erofs_inode_extended`) so size, uid/gid, mtime and a full 32-bit link count are all expressible;the FLAT_INLINE datalayout: any residual tail (object size modulo block size) is stored inline immediately after the inode header, and only whole blocks spill into the data region. Objects smaller than one block carry their entire body inline with the block-address field set to the `0xFFFFFFFF` "no full block" sentinel — exactly as `mkfs.erofs` encodes small files;node ids (`nid`) as 32-byte granules measured from `meta_blkaddr * blockSize`; inodes are packed with their inline tails and the next inode is re-aligned to a 32-byte boundary. Directories are emitted as EROFS directory chunks: a contiguous array of 12-byte `erofs_dirent` headers followed by the packed entry names, with the conventional "." and ".." entries first. Directory bodies follow the same FLAT_INLINE rule.

 Descriptor for ext1 filesystem images — the 1992 predecessor of ext2 by Rémy Card. ext1's on-disk superblock layout is identical to the GOOD_OLD-revision ext2 superblock with one crucial difference: the s_magic field at offset 56 of the superblock (file-relative offset 1080) reads `0xEF51` instead of ext2's `0xEF53`. ext1 has no journal, no extents, and no FEATURE_INCOMPAT_FILETYPE — directory entries are 8-byte fixed-header (with a 16-bit `name_len`) + name only.

+#### `FatPlusInPlaceAdder`
+
+Genuine in-place add for FAT+ images — the FAT+ counterpart of `FatModifier`. FAT+ is a backward-compatible FAT32 extension whose on-disk layout (boot sector, FATs, FSInfo, root directory as a cluster chain, data clusters) is byte-for-byte standard FAT32; the only difference is the directory entry's file-size encoding, where the low 6 bits of `DIR_NTRes` (offset 12) carry bits 32..37 of a 38-bit size. This adder therefore delegates the heavy lifting (free-cluster allocation, FAT-chain linking in every FAT copy, directory-slot insertion, FSInfo free-count maintenance) to `FatModifier`, then patches the just-written short-name dirent so the FAT+ size encoding is correct: it always emits the long name through VFAT slots so the 8.3 alias is upper-case and carries no NT case bits — which is essential because those case bits (0x08 / 0x10) live in the very low-6-bit region FAT+ repurposes for size, and would otherwise be mis-read as size bits. Structural cases `FatModifier` cannot handle (a full root directory, insufficient free clusters) throw so the descriptor can fall back to the verified `FatPlusWriter` rebuild. Files whose declared size needs more than 31 bits of payload (> 2 GiB) cannot be carried by the in-place byte[] path and also fall back.

+| `RemoveFile` | `static void RemoveFile(byte[] image, string name)` | Removes `name` from the FAT+ image in place (delegates to `FatRemover` — the FAT chain, dirent and data wipe are identical to standard FAT; the FAT+ size bits live in the dirent which is zeroed) and re-stamps the FAT+ OEM signature so detection survives. |
+
+#### `FatPlusModifier`
+
+In-place modification primitives for FAT+ filesystem images: `AddFile` appends or replaces a file (via full rebuild — same strategy `FatFormatDescriptor` uses for FAT), and `RemoveFile` removes a file by freeing its cluster chain, wiping its data, and marking its directory entries as deleted.
+
+| Member | Signature | Summary |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `AddFile` | `static void AddFile(Stream archive, string name, byte[] data)` | Appends (or replaces by name) a file in an existing FAT+ image. The common case is a genuine in-place edit via `FatPlusInPlaceAdder`: free clusters are allocated, the data written into them, the chain linked in every FAT copy, a directory entry inserted, and the FAT+ extended-size bits patched — existing files, their clusters and the boot sector stay byte-identical and the image keeps its length. Structural cases the in-place path can't handle (nested target, full root directory, insufficient free space) fall back to the verified `FatPlusWriter` rebuild, which preserves the existing entries' extended sizes. |
+| `RemoveFile` | `static void RemoveFile(Stream archive, string name)` | Removes the named file from a FAT+ image: walks the FAT chain, zeros every cluster the file occupies (including cluster-tip slack past the declared size), zeros the FAT entries in every FAT copy, and marks the directory entries (short + preceding LFN slots) as deleted (0xE5 sentinel + zero payload). Preserves the BPB OEM signature so detection still flags this as a FAT+ image afterwards. |
+
+#### `FatPlusReader`
+
+Read-only reader for FAT+ filesystem images. FAT+ is a backward-compatible extension to FAT32 (and FAT16) that lifts the 4 GiB per-file size limit by repurposing previously-reserved bytes in the 32-byte directory entry to hold the upper bits of an extended file-size value.
+
+Implements `IDisposable`.

+| `OemSignature` | `static readonly byte[] OemSignature` | OEM-name signature that identifies a FAT+ volume. 8 ASCII bytes at offset 3 of the BPB. |
+| `Entries` | `IReadOnlyList<FatPlusEntry> Entries { get; }` |  |
+| `FatType` | `int FatType { get; }` | FAT type (12, 16, or 32). FAT+ is most commonly applied to FAT32 but the spec also covers FAT16. |
+| `Dispose` | `void Dispose()` |  |
+| `ExtractTo` | `void ExtractTo(FatPlusEntry entry, Stream output)` | Streams the cluster chain for `entry` into `output`. This is the only safe path for files > 2 GiB because a byte[] of that size cannot be allocated on .NET. |
+| `Extract` | `byte[] Extract(FatPlusEntry entry)` | In-memory extract — only safe for files that fit in a `byte[]`. Throws for files > `MaxValue`. |
+| `HasFatPlusSignature` | `static bool HasFatPlusSignature(ReadOnlySpan<byte> bpb)` | Tests whether the BPB at the start of `bpb` carries the FAT+ OEM signature. |
+
+#### `FatPlusWriter`
+
+Builds FAT+ filesystem images. FAT+ is a backward-compatible extension to standard FAT32 (and FAT16) that lifts the 4 GiB per-file size cap to 256 GiB by repurposing the low 6 bits of the otherwise-reserved `DIR_NTRes` byte (offset 12) of the 32-byte directory entry as the high 6 bits of the file size — together with the standard 32-bit `DIR_FileSize` at offset 28 this forms a 38-bit size field. The OEM-name string in the BPB is set to `"FAT+ "` (offset 3..10) so FAT+-aware readers see the extension.

+| `AddStreamingFile` | `void AddStreamingFile(string name, long size, Func<Stream> openStream)` | Adds a file whose bytes are produced on demand. `size` must match what `openStream` yields; the layout is settled from it before a byte is read, so a payload past what a byte[] holds is placed like any other. |
+| `BuildAutoSized` | `byte[] BuildAutoSized(int requestedClusterSize = 0, int bytesPerSector = 512, string volumeLabel = null)` | Builds the smallest FAT+ image that still holds all file data plus FAT overhead, while never dropping below the 200_000-sector floor that keeps the volume in FAT32 (the cluster-count range FAT+ extends). Prefer this over `Build` when the caller has not pinned an image size. |
+| `BuildToStreamingAutoSized` | `void BuildToStreamingAutoSized(Stream output, int bytesPerSector = 512, int requestedClusterSize = 0, string volumeLabel = null)` | Streams an auto-sized FAT+ volume, sized to the files added, then applies the FAT+ patches in place. |
+| `BuildTo` | `void BuildTo(Stream output, int totalSectors, int bytesPerSector = 512, int requestedClusterSize = 0, string volumeLabel = null)` | Creates a `FatWriter` seeded with this writer's files (actual byte payloads only — the FAT+ extended sizes are patched into the image afterwards). Shared by `Build` and `PickClusterForFixedImage`. |
+| `Build` | `byte[] Build(int totalSectors = 200000, int bytesPerSector = 512, int requestedClusterSize = 0, string volumeLabel = null)` | Builds the FAT+ image. Default size (200_000 sectors ≈ 100 MB) is chosen to land in the FAT32 cluster-count range without using unnecessary disk. |
+| `PickClusterForFixedImage` | `int PickClusterForFixedImage(int totalSectors, int bytesPerSector = 512)` | Picks the cluster size that minimises slack + FAT-table overhead for a fixed image size, mirroring `PickClusterForFixedImage`. FAT+ is always FAT32, so the FAT-type tier is fixed at 32. Returns 0 when no candidate fits (caller should fall back to the writer's default). |
+| `PlanTotalSectors` | `int PlanTotalSectors(int bytesPerSector = 512)` | Sector count a volume needs to hold the files added: the payload plus ~50 % headroom for directory entries and cluster-tail slack, never below the FAT32 floor so the FAT+ extension stays meaningful. |

-GFS2 (Global File System 2) descriptor — Red Hat's cluster filesystem, mainline Linux since 2.6.19. We parse the superblock at offset 65536, surface block size + lock proto/table + UUID + master/root inode pointers, and walk the root inode's inline directory entries (single-leaf, di_height==0). For regular files with inline data (height==0) we extract the bytes. On-disk layout reverse-validated against real `mkfs.gfs2` output (gfs2-utils 3.5.1): the `gfs2_meta_header` is 24 bytes, the sb carries a reserved `__pad2` inum between master and root, and the `gfs2_dirent` header is 40 bytes. See `Gfs2ExternalConformanceTests` for the mkfs.gfs2 / fsck.gfs2 gate. Creation (`Create`, `Gfs2Writer`) emits a fresh, empty standalone (lock_nolock, single-journal) volume — superblock, the fixed first resource group plus a second data resource group with a correct (multi-block) allocation bitmap, the master directory and its system inodes (jindex, per_node, inum, statfs, rindex, quota), a formatted 8 MB journal of clean unmount log headers, and the root directory — all sized so real `fsck.gfs2 -n` passes clean (exit 0). Supported size range 16–256 MB (single data resource group); the volume is empty, since populating it with files is out of scope. Out of scope (multi-week effort each): writing files/directories, ExHash multi-leaf directories, multi-level block indirection (di_height > 0), devices > 256 MB (which gfs2-utils splits into several evenly-spaced resource groups), journal replay, cluster lock manager state, extended attributes. Magic: `mh_magic = 0x01161970` (BE u32) at the start of the superblock meta header. On disk at byte offset 65536 this serialises as `01 16 19 70`. Confidence 0.85 — well-known constant at a fixed offset, but GFS2 shares this magic with GFS1 at slightly different layouts, so we keep a small margin below the 0.9-0.95 reserved for formats with a structurally unique header.

+In-place R/W modifier for Microsoft Xbox / Xbox 360 FATX volumes. Modifies an existing image (produced by `FatxWriter` or by a real Xbox console) by directly editing the FAT region and the root directory cluster. Sub-directory entries are out of scope for v1: the modifier only adds/removes files at the FATX volume root.Add walks the FAT looking for the first free cluster run long enough to hold the requested payload, allocates it (linking each cluster to the next, terminating with the FAT16/FAT32 EoC sentinel), writes the file bytes into the data region cluster-by-cluster, then writes a 64-byte FATX dirent into the first reusable slot in the root cluster. Reusable slots are either a 0xE5 tombstone (previously deleted entry) or the leading 0xFF terminator that the writer planted past the last valid record. Unused tail bytes of the dirent's 42-byte name field stay 0xFF, matching what the writer emits and what real Xbox firmware writes.Remove finds the dirent by name in the root cluster, sets `name_length = 0xE5` per the FATX tombstone convention, walks the file's FAT chain freeing each cluster (entry → 0), and securely zeros the data bytes inside each freed cluster so no forensic recovery of the previous content is possible.The 12-byte timestamp tail of new dirents stays zeroed — the real Xbox kernel re-stamps timestamps on mount, so this is benign in practice and matches what `FatxWriter` already produces.FAT width. The FAT16/FAT32 threshold is recomputed from the image geometry exactly the same way `FatxReader` does so the reader and modifier always agree on which width to use. Both branches are exercised by the test suite.

Length rounded up to 4 KiB pages.data region: clusters numbered from 1; cluster N is at `fat_end + (N-1)*cluster_size`.directory entries (64 bytes each): name_length + attrs + 42-byte ASCII name (0xFF-padded) + first_cluster (u32) + size (u32) + 12 bytes of timestamps. Sentinel 0xFF on name_length terminates the directory; 0xE5 marks deleted.Real Xbox volumes use 16 KiB clusters and FAT32, but the format itself permits any power-of-two sectors-per-cluster — the writer auto-picks a small cluster (2 KiB / 4 sectors) for tiny synthetic images so unit tests stay compact, and 16 KiB / 32 sectors for any image > 1 MiB, matching the original Xbox HDD convention.FATX dirent names are limited to 42 ASCII bytes — no LFN, no Unicode. Names longer than 42 characters are truncated with a trailing `~N` alias to keep them unique within the same directory.

-Read-only descriptor for HAMMER (DragonFly BSD original) filesystem images. Surfaces the volume header at offset 0 plus a structured metadata bundle and the raw image. Walking the HAMMER B-tree (zone blockmap → cluster → inode → records) is explicitly out of scope (multi-week effort). Magic: 8-byte uint64 `vol_signature = 0xC8414D4DC5523031` ("HAMMER01") at offset 0, serialised LE on disk as `31 30 52 C5 4D 4D 41 C8`. Confidence 0.85: an 8-byte magic value at offset 0 is high-confidence but HAMMER lacks an additional sanity check at this stage of detection (the `vol_fstype` UUID at offset 64 is not validated against a well-known constant).

+Atari ST GEMDOS disk image descriptor. GEMDOS is a FAT12 variant: the on-disk layout is exactly MS-DOS FAT12 (BPB at offset 11 onwards, two FAT copies, fixed-size root directory, 8.3 dirents, free-block-chain allocation), but the jump byte at offset 0 is `0x60` (Motorola 68000 `BRA.S`) instead of `0xEB`/`0xE9` (x86 `JMP`). The reader and writer here delegate to the FAT12 implementation in `Fat` and re-present the jump byte at the boundary. Hierarchy support. GEMDOS supports subdirectories via standard FAT12 directory entries (attribute bit 4 = 0x10). The reader / writer inherit full tree support from `FatReader` / `FatWriter`.Defrag / Purge / Conversion. Driven by the rebuild-based pattern in `DefragRebuilder`; conversion is unlocked for free via `IArchiveCreatable`. Purge zeros all free clusters + cluster-tip slack via the FAT extent map.Spec.

+#### `GemdosInPlaceModifier`
 
-Implements `IDisposable`.
+In-place modifier for Atari ST GEMDOS disk images. GEMDOS is FAT12 with a single byte difference at offset 0: the m68k `BRA.S` opcode `0x60` instead of the x86 `JMP` opcode `0xEB`. The on-disk FAT chains, root directory layout, dirent format and data-cluster region are byte-identical to plain FAT12. All mutation work is delegated to `FatRemover` (for `RemoveFiles`) and to a re-pack via `FatWriter` seeded from the existing files (for `AddFiles`). The single-byte jump signature is patched to `0xEB` before the FAT codepath runs and restored to `0x60` before the result is written back.

-#### `HammerWriter`

-Writes a single-volume HAMMER (DragonFly BSD, HAMMER1) filesystem image that DragonFly recognises and mounts. The output is a faithful port of `newfs_hammer(8)` (`sbin/newfs_hammer/newfs_hammer.c`) together with the on-disk helpers in `sbin/hammer/ondisk.c` and `sbin/hammer/blockmap.c`: it lays down the volume header, the freemap (zone-4 two-layer blockmap), the UNDO/REDO FIFO (zone-3), and a minimal root B-Tree (zone-8) holding the root directory's inode and PFS#0 records. Geometry mirrors newfs exactly: the volume is split into a 256 KB header junk area (`vol_bot_beg`), a boot area, a memory log, then the zone-2 buffer area. Every metadata block carries the version-gated CRC (see `HammerCrc`).HAMMER's UNDO FIFO has a hard minimum of `HAMMER_MIN_UNDO_BIGBLOCKS (64) * HAMMER_BIGBLOCK_SIZE (8 MB) = 512 MB`, so the smallest volume that `newfs_hammer`/this writer can format is on the order of ~1 GB. The output stream is grown to that size (sparse on filesystems that support holes).Files passed to `AddFile` are materialised as real records readable by the DragonFly kernel: each gets a regular-file inode record, a directory-entry record under the root directory (keyed by the ALG1 directory namehash) and one or more zone-11 small-data records (payload split into 16 KB blocks, each rounded up to a power-of-two block). All records, plus the root inode and PFS#0 record, live in a single sorted leaf B-Tree node — which caps the image at `HAMMER_BTREE_LEAF_ELMS (63)` elements (~20 files). Files are placed flat in the root directory (no sub-directory nesting).
+Builds Atari ST GEMDOS disk images by delegating to `FatWriter` (which emits a spec-compliant FAT12 BPB) and then patching the jump byte at offset 0 from MS-DOS's `0xEB` (x86 `JMP`) to Atari's `0x60` (m68k `BRA.S`). All other BPB fields use the FAT spec layout. The result is a byte-identical GEMDOS volume: same boot-sector size, same FAT chains, same root directory, same data-cluster layout.

-Read-only descriptor for HAMMER2 (DragonFly BSD newer) filesystem images. Surfaces the volume-data sector at offset 0 plus a structured metadata bundle and the raw image. Walking the HAMMER2 cluster B-tree (radix-tree chains, blockrefs, indirect blocks) is explicitly out of scope (multi-week effort). Magic: 8-byte uint64 at offset 0 = `HAMMER2_VOLUME_ID_HBO` (`0x48414d3205172011`) or `HAMMER2_VOLUME_ID_ABO` (`0x11201705324d4148`). The descriptor's `MagicSignatures` list covers the HBO form (LE serialisation: `11 20 17 05 32 4D 41 48`); the ABO form is recognised by the parser but is rare in practice (only arises when a HAMMER2 image is cross-mounted on opposite-endian hardware). Confidence 0.85: an 8-byte magic at offset 0 is high-confidence but the detector does no secondary sanity check (e.g. volume size plausibility, fstype UUID match).

Falls back to the verified rebuild path when the change can't be expressed as a single inline/one-indirect blockset (nested-indirect roots, nested paths). See `Hammer2InPlaceModifier`. |
-| `Create` | `void Create(Stream output, IReadOnlyList<ArchiveInputInfo> inputs, FormatCreateOptions options)` | Produces a fresh, mountable single-volume HAMMER2 image from `inputs`. The output mirrors `newfs_hammer2`: a volume header, the super-root inode, and the "LOCAL" + labelled PFS inodes. The labelled PFS root is populated with the input files — each a regular-file inode plus a directory entry (see `Hammer2Writer`). The DragonFly kernel mounts the labelled PFS and reads every file's contents byte-exact (validated via `mount_hammer2 …@<label>` + `cksum`, including directories large enough to spill into a blockref-indirect block and files stored in an out-of-line data block). |
-| `Defragment` | `void Defragment(Stream archive, DefragOptions options)` | Lays the volume out again by moving what is out of place. A blockref names its block by a device offset, and the check beside it covers bytes a move does not change — so the move is that one field plus the chain of checks above it, up to the volume headers' own CRCs. |

-#### `Hammer2Writer`
+#### `Gfs1Writer`
 
-Writes a single-volume HAMMER2 (DragonFly BSD) filesystem image that DragonFly recognises and mounts. The output is a faithful port of what `newfs_hammer2(8)` (`sbin/newfs_hammer2` together with the on-disk helpers in `sbin/hammer2/cmd_setcomp.c` and the kernel's `sys/vfs/hammer2/hammer2_disk.h`) lays down for a fresh, empty filesystem: the volume header (`struct hammer2_volume_data`) at byte offset 0 — magic, version, the boot/aux geometry, the allocator accounting, and the super-root blockset, each 512-byte sector protected by an iCRC and the whole 64 KB header by `icrc_volheader`;the super-root inode (`HAMMER2_PFSTYPE_SUPROOT`) whose embedded blockset references one or more PFS inodes;two PFS inodes — the default `"LOCAL"` plus the labelled PFS (e.g. `"DATA"`) — each a master with an empty root directory.The on-disk topology mirrors `newfs_hammer2` exactly: the volume header lives in the first of four redundant 64 KB slots (only slot #0 is populated by newfs, the kernel rolls the others forward on the first sync), the boot area starts at 4 MB, the aux area at 12 MB, and the reserved topology area (where the inodes live) begins at 20 MB (`allocator_beg`). HAMMER2 builds its freemap lazily, so a freshly formatted volume carries no freemap blocks at all — exactly what `newfs_hammer2` writes.Files passed to `AddFile` are materialised in the labelled PFS root exactly the way the DragonFly kernel lays them down: each file gets a regular-file inode (`HAMMER2_OBJTYPE_REGFILE`) keyed in the root blockset by its inode number, plus a `HAMMER2_BREF_TYPE_DIRENT` blockref keyed by `hammer2_dirhash(name)` carrying the filename inline. Payloads up to 512 bytes are embedded directly in the inode's union (`HAMMER2_OPFLAG_DIRECTDATA`); larger payloads are written to an allocated `HAMMER2_BREF_TYPE_DATA` block sized to the next power-of-two logical buffer. When the root's four embedded blockrefs overflow they spill into a `HAMMER2_BREF_TYPE_INDIRECT` block. All data blocks are stored uncompressed (`HAMMER2_COMP_NONE`) and protected by an xxHash64 check.
+Minimal but spec-keyed writer for Sistina GFS (the pre-GFS2 distributed filesystem). Emits a real `MhMagicConst`-tagged metaheader superblock at byte offset 65536 with the GFS-specific `sb_multihost_format = 1900`, followed by a packed inode + data area in subsequent 4 KB blocks. Directories are stored as 16-byte entry blocks for round-trip simplicity (kernel GFS1 used full ondir entries — out of WORM scope). Scope. Real GFS1 maintains a journal per cluster node, a distributed lock table (DLM), a resource group bitmap chain, and a hashed-leaf-block directory layout. The WORM writer skips the journal area + lock proto fields beyond the spec-anchored handle in the SB, and emits a non-hashed single-block directory body.

-Walks a classic HFS image and yields the actual on-disk byte layout — the boot blocks (sectors 0-1) + MDB (sector 2) + alternate MDB + volume bitmap + catalog file as `MetadataReserved`, every file record's data-fork extent as `Used`. The reader only walks the first leaf chain via fLink so coverage matches what the reader can extract.
+Reads a GFS2 volume's resource-group bitmaps and reports which blocks are in use. GFS2 accounts for allocation two bits per block: 00 is free, and every other state (data, unlinked, dinode) means the block is live. What the bitmaps leave clear is exactly the free space — including the blocks a removed file used to occupy, which still hold its bytes.

+GFS2 (Global File System 2) descriptor — Red Hat's cluster filesystem, mainline Linux since 2.6.19. We parse the superblock at offset 65536, surface block size + lock proto/table + UUID + master/root inode pointers, and walk the root inode's inline directory entries (single-leaf, di_height==0). For regular files with inline data (height==0) we extract the bytes. On-disk layout reverse-validated against real `mkfs.gfs2` output (gfs2-utils 3.5.1): the `gfs2_meta_header` is 24 bytes, the sb carries a reserved `__pad2` inum between master and root, and the `gfs2_dirent` header is 40 bytes. See `Gfs2ExternalConformanceTests` for the mkfs.gfs2 / fsck.gfs2 gate. Creation (`Create`, `Gfs2Writer`) emits a fresh, empty standalone (lock_nolock, single-journal) volume — superblock, the fixed first resource group plus a second data resource group with a correct (multi-block) allocation bitmap, the master directory and its system inodes (jindex, per_node, inum, statfs, rindex, quota), a formatted 8 MB journal of clean unmount log headers, and the root directory — all sized so real `fsck.gfs2 -n` passes clean (exit 0). Supported size range 16–256 MB (single data resource group); the volume is empty, since populating it with files is out of scope. Out of scope (multi-week effort each): writing files/directories, ExHash multi-leaf directories, multi-level block indirection (di_height > 0), devices > 256 MB (which gfs2-utils splits into several evenly-spaced resource groups), journal replay, cluster lock manager state, extended attributes. Magic: `mh_magic = 0x01161970` (BE u32) at the start of the superblock meta header. On disk at byte offset 65536 this serialises as `01 16 19 70`. Confidence 0.85 — well-known constant at a fixed offset, but GFS2 shares this magic with GFS1 at slightly different layouts, so we keep a small margin below the 0.9-0.95 reserved for formats with a structurally unique header.

The reader produces the decoded file bytes by walking the entry's extent or block chain; the matched bytes are wrapped in a `BoundedEntryStream` sized to the entry's logical length so cluster/extent slack past the entry's end is physically unreachable through this view. |
-| `Remove` | `void Remove(Stream archive, string[] entryNames)` | Removes the named entries from an existing Hfs image via `RemoveFile`. File data blocks are wiped and catalog records are excised from the leaf; missing names are silently ignored. |

-| `WipeUnusedSpace` | `long WipeUnusedSpace(Stream image, bool wipeClusterTips = true, bool wipeDeletedEntries = true)` | Zeros all unused space in the HFS image: free allocation blocks, gaps between files and the block-tip slack between a file's logical size and the end of its last allocated 512-byte block. The catalog extent map clamps each file's run to its logical byte length, so trailing slack inside the final block presents as a free gap that the generic `UnusedSpaceWiper` zero-fills. The HFS extent map keys each `FileName` by the catalog leaf name, whereas `HfsReader` reports the full slash-separated path; the size lookup is therefore keyed by the leaf segment so the explicit cluster-tip pass matches. |

-#### `HfsModifier`
-
-In-place HFS classic modifier — performs random-access mutation of an existing HFS image without rebuilding the entire filesystem. Tuned for the single-leaf catalog shape that `HfsWriter` emits for the common case (≤ ~30 files per image, no index node required). When an Add would overflow the single 512-byte leaf, falls back to a writer-driven rebuild transparently so the call always succeeds. What we touch on a small Add (single-leaf path):The MDB at offset 1024 — drNmFls, drFilCnt, drFreeBks, drNxtCNID, drAllocPtr, drLsMod.The alternate MDB at `(totalSectors - 2) × 512` (mirror).The volume bitmap starting at `drVBMSt × 512`.The catalog leaf node (allocation block 2 in the writer's layout).The newly-allocated allocation blocks for the file payload.
+| `WipeUnusedSpace` | `long WipeUnusedSpace(Stream image, bool wipeClusterTips = true, bool wipeDeletedEntries = true)` | Zero-fills every block the resource-group bitmaps report as free — which is where a removed file's bytes stay until something else claims them. |

-#### `HfsWriter`
+#### `Gfs2Writer`
 
-Builds a spec-compliant Classic HFS disk image per Inside Macintosh: Files (1992), chapter 2 "File Manager". Layout matches what hfsutils' libhfs expects: 512-byte B*-tree nodes (libhfs hardcodes `HFS_BLOCKSZ`=512 and validates header-record offsets at exactly 0x00e/0x078/0x0f8/0x1f8). When records can't fit a single leaf, the catalog grows into multiple leaf nodes (chained via the node-descriptor fLink/bLink) and one or more index levels are stacked above them, increasing the tree depth until a single root node fans out over the whole level below it. The header node's BTMapRec caps the catalog at 2048 nodes (no chained map nodes), which still permits well over a thousand entries in a single directory. Names passed to `AddFile` may contain `'/'` separators denoting subdirectories. Each path component below the final one becomes a real catalog folder (directory record type 1 + directory thread type 3) with its own dirID, inserted under its parent's dirID; the file lands keyed under its immediate parent folder's dirID. Current scope cuts: Allocation block size fixed at 512 bytes.ASCII-only filenames (no MacRoman high-byte handling).No resource forks; resource-fork fields in file records are zero.
+Clean-room GFS2 (Global File System 2) image writer producing a minimal, empty, standalone (`lock_nolock`, single-journal) volume that real `fsck.gfs2` (gfs2-utils) accepts without errors. The output mirrors the on-disk structures defined in the public Linux kernel header `include/uapi/linux/gfs2_ondisk.h` and the layout produced by `mkfs.gfs2`, reverse-validated byte-for-byte against a real reference image. Big-endian throughout, 4096-byte blocks.What we emit (everything `fsck.gfs2` requires for a clean volume):Superblock at byte 65536 (block 16).A single resource group whose inline bitmap covers every data block and correctly marks each used metadata block.Master directory dinode and the system inodes hung off it: `jindex`, `per_node`, `inum`, `statfs`, `rindex`, `quota`.A formatted 8 MB journal (`journal0`) whose 2048 blocks each carry a clean unmount log header (correct `lh_hash` CRC32 and `lh_crc` CRC32C).`per_node` system inodes `inum_range0`, `statfs_change0`, `quota_change0` (the latter a 1 MB file of empty quota-change blocks).The root directory dinode with `.` and `..`.Block-accounting fields (`rg_free`, `rg_dinodes`, the master `statfs`, the `inum` next-formal-number) are all computed from the real layout so `check_statfs` passes.

-In-place HFS+ block mover. Moves allocation-block-aligned extents and patches the catalog file record's fork-data extents + allocation bitmap so the file remains reachable at its new location. Streaming: the mover never loads the whole image. `Init` reads only the 512-byte volume header at offset 1024; all metadata updates are targeted reads/writes via `SectorCache` + `Flush` barriers so a crash mid-operation leaves the image fsck-recoverable. Multi-TB HFS+ images (catalog files alone can be tens of MB on large volumes) need only ~256 MB of cache RAM regardless of image size.

+#### `GlusterFsFormatDescriptor`
+
+Stage 0 detection-only descriptor for GlusterFS. Honest fallback: GlusterFS has no on-disk image format. A GlusterFS volume is a logical aggregation of one or more "bricks", and every brick is just a normal directory on a local POSIX filesystem (typically XFS or ext4). Volume files live at their normal POSIX paths inside the brick directory and carry GlusterFS state in extended attributes (`trusted.gfid`, `trusted.glusterfs.dht`, `trusted.glusterfs.volume-id`, `trusted.glusterfs.pathinfo`, etc.). There is no superblock, no brick header, no portable single-file representation that this image-based pipeline can consume. We therefore stay Stage 0 permanently. The 0xCAFE5BAB magic recognised here is a workbench-internal convention for hand-dumped brick-object probes — it is not a real on-disk GlusterFS structure and no real GlusterFS deployment will produce it. Promotion to R/O would require walking a live directory tree and reading xattrs, which is outside the image-stream contract enforced by `IArchiveFormatOperations`.

+Stage 0 detection-only reader for GlusterFS — permanent honest fallback.

Consequences: There is no superblock or brick header to parse.Distribution / replication state (DHT hashing → brick mapping, AFR replicate metadata, EC dispersed metadata, rebalance bookkeeping) only exists across multiple bricks on multiple hosts, not inside any single image.An R/O promotion is fundamentally incompatible with this project's image-stream contract — recognising a GlusterFS "volume" would require walking a live POSIX directory tree and reading xattrs through the host OS, which is outside the `Stream`-based `IArchiveFormatOperations` surface. The 0xCAFE5BAB magic verified by `Parse` is a workbench-internal probe convention used to dump and round-trip hand-crafted "brick object" experiments; it is not a real on-disk GlusterFS marker and no real GlusterFS deployment produces it. The reader therefore stays a thin two-entry detector (synthetic `metadata.ini` + raw `gluster-brick.bin`) and will never grow real semantics.

-#### `HfsPlusExtentMap`
+### Namespace `FileSystem.Gpfs`
 
-Walks an HFS+ (or HFSX) image and yields the actual on-disk byte layout — the reserved boot region (first 1024 bytes) + volume header + allocation file + catalog file as `MetadataReserved`, every file record's first data-fork extent (HFSPlusForkData.extents[0]) as `Used`. Mirrors what `HfsPlusReader` can extract — leaf chain via fLink, single primary extent per file. Streaming: never loads the whole image. All reads flow through a `SectorCache` so multi-TB HFS+ images (the catalog file alone can be tens of MB on large volumes) work without OOM.

The block size dropdown offers Auto (slack + table-overhead minimisation) plus the power-of-two sizes 4 KB … 64 KB that the writer supports; the journal-size knob is gated on Journal=true via DependsOn. |
 | `TarCompressionFormatId` | `string TarCompressionFormatId { get; }` |  |
-| `Add` | `void Add(Stream archive, IReadOnlyList<ArchiveInputInfo> inputs)` | Adds (or replaces by name) files inside an existing HFS+ image via `AddFile`. The modifier mutates the catalog leaf, allocation bitmap, and volume header in place; on leaf overflow it transparently falls back to a writer-driven rebuild so the call always succeeds. |
-| `CreateFromStreams` | `void CreateFromStreams(Stream output, IEnumerable<StreamingArchiveInput> inputs, FormatCreateOptions options)` | Two-pass streaming creation: pre-known per-input sizes drive allocation-block geometry + catalog B-tree planning in pass 1; pass 2 emits the volume header + allocation bitmap + extents B-tree + catalog B-tree (with file records pointing at single-extent allocations) + the alternate volume header, then streams each input's bytes from its `OpenStream` factory into its allocated extent run via 64 KB chunks.

-| `Defragment` | `void Defragment(Stream archive, DefragOptions options)` | Mode-aware HFS+ defragmentor via read-extract-rebuild dispatch through `DefragRebuilder`. The writer always emits a contiguous, start-packed allocation block layout, so all four `DefragMode` values converge on a clean repack. |
-| `EnumerateExtents` | `IEnumerable<DefragBlockInfo> EnumerateExtents(Stream image)` | Walks the HFS+ catalog B-tree leaf chain and yields the actual on-disk byte layout — reserved boot region + volume header + allocation file + catalog file as `MetadataReserved`, every file record's first data-fork extent (`HFSPlusForkData.extents[0]`) as `Used`. |

-| `OpenEntry` | `Stream OpenEntry(Stream archive, string entryName, string password)` | Opens a single filesystem entry as a bounded read-only stream. The reader produces the decoded file bytes by walking the entry's extent or block chain; the matched bytes are wrapped in a `BoundedEntryStream` sized to the entry's logical length so cluster/extent slack past the entry's end is physically unreachable through this view. |
-| `Remove` | `void Remove(Stream archive, string[] entryNames)` | Removes the named entries from an existing HFS+ image via `RemoveFile`. File data blocks are wiped and the catalog records are excised from the leaf node; missing names are silently ignored. |
-| `UpdateAllocationAfterMove` | `void UpdateAllocationAfterMove(Stream image, string fileName, long oldOffset, long newOffset, long length)` |  |
-| `WipeUnusedSpace` | `long WipeUnusedSpace(Stream image, bool wipeClusterTips = true, bool wipeDeletedEntries = true)` | Zeros all unused space in the HFS+ image: free allocation blocks, gaps between files and the block-tip slack between a file's logical size and the end of its last allocated block. The catalog extent map clamps each file's first-fork run to its logical byte length, so trailing slack inside the final block presents as a free gap that the generic `UnusedSpaceWiper` zero-fills. The size lookup is keyed by the reader's full path, matching the extent map's FileName. |
 
-#### `HfsPlusModifier`
+#### `GpfsReader`
 
-In-place HFS+ modifier — performs random-access mutation of an existing HFS+ image without rebuilding the whole filesystem. Designed for the single-leaf catalog shape that `HfsPlusWriter` emits (treeDepth=1, root==leaf node 1). When an Add would overflow the single leaf, the modifier falls back to a writer-driven rebuild via `HfsPlusWriter` so the operation always succeeds. What we touch on a small Add:The volume header (offset 1024) — file count, free blocks, next CNID.The alternate volume header at `imageSize-1024` (mirror).The allocation bitmap block (block 1).The catalog leaf node (block 3 → offset 3×blockSize for the standard layout).The newly-allocated data blocks for the file payload.
+Stage 0 detection-only reader for IBM Spectrum Scale (formerly GPFS — General Parallel File System) NSD (Network Shared Disk) descriptor images. GPFS is a parallel clustered FS — its single-disk surface is the NSD descriptor block whose first four bytes are the GPFS magic integer `0x4347465C` (the bytes 0x43 0x47 0x46 0x5C — derived from the cluster signature "GCFS\" used in GPFS internal headers). Only the magic word is verified. The real NSD descriptor maps onto a GPFS cluster's failure-group topology and storage pool membership; the file table itself lives in the cluster manager and cannot be walked from a single disk image.

+Descriptor for Apple IIgs GS/OS 2IMG disk images. The 2IMG container wraps a ProDOS / HFS / DOS 3.3 volume with a 64-byte header — this descriptor parses the header, surfaces the inner volume, and (for ProDOS-ordered payloads) lets callers add/replace/remove files inside the embedded volume by delegating to `ProDosModifier`, which already shifts every block access past the 2IMG header. Detection is by the .gsdos extension; the "2IMG" magic at offset 0 is owned by `FileSystem.ProDos` (.2mg routing) to avoid a detector first-match conflict.

-#### `HpfsReader`
+#### `GsOsInPlaceModifier`
 
-Read-only reader for OS/2 HPFS (High Performance File System) volumes.
+In-place modifier for Apple IIgs GS/OS 2IMG disk images carrying a ProDOS-ordered payload (image format = 1). The 2IMG container is a 64-byte header at offset 0 followed by the inner ProDOS volume. Mutation is genuinely in place: the inner ProDOS catalog, volume bitmap and data blocks are edited directly via `ProDosModifier` (which auto-detects the 64-byte 2IMG header through its magic and offsets all block I/O), so the 2IMG header bytes 0..63 and every untouched ProDOS block stay byte-identical and the image keeps its original length. The earlier volume-directory-header / slot-1 byte-offset collision in `ProDosModifier` is fixed and pinned by `ProDosVolumeHeaderRegressionTests`. The edit is applied to an in-memory copy first and only written back on success, so a failure leaves the image untouched and the verified rebuild path takes over (catalog-full / structural edge cases). HFS- and DOS-3.3-ordered 2IMG payloads (image format = 0 or 2) are rejected.

+Builds Apple IIgs GS/OS 2IMG disk images. The container is a 64-byte header (creator code, image format = ProDOS-ordered, data offset/length, flags) followed by the embedded ProDOS volume; this writer emits a ProDOS payload via `ProDosWriter` and prepends the 2IMG header so the result is recognised by GS/OS-aware emulators (CiderPress, ASIMOV2, Bernie ][ The Rescue, Catakig). 2IMG header layout (little-endian, 64 bytes) — see `GsOsReader` for the field-by-field breakdown. The flags word is left zero (unlocked, DOS-3.3 volume number = 0).

-In-place ISO 9660 block mover. ISO files are single-extent contiguous by spec (ECMA-119), so moving a file means patching the directory record's extent LBA and data length fields. The PVD is also patched for volume space size adjustments if needed. Streaming: reads only the PVD + directory sectors via a `SectorCache`. A 100 GB DVD/BD image never gets loaded as a whole — only the touched sectors are read, and each metadata write is followed by a `Flush` barrier so a crash mid-move can never reference garbage.

-Walks an ISO 9660 image and yields its actual on-disk byte layout — the 32 KiB system area, every Volume Descriptor sector (PVD/SVD/VDST), the path tables, every directory record's contiguous extent (ISO 9660 spec requires single-extent files), and the trailing free space. Each file surfaces as exactly one Used extent because ECMA-119 mandates contiguous allocation. Streaming: reads only the volume descriptor sectors + one directory's contents at a time through a `SectorCache`. A 100 GB DVD/BD image needs only ~256 MB of cache regardless of size — directory bytes are pulled on-demand from disk rather than loaded whole.
+Reads a HAMMER volume's freemap and reports which bytes are in use. HAMMER allocates in 8 MB big-blocks: a layer-2 entry per big-block records which zone owns it and how far into it the allocator has appended. A big-block no zone owns is free outright, and the tail of one past its append point is free as well — which is where a removed file's bytes stay.

+Read-only descriptor for HAMMER (DragonFly BSD original) filesystem images. Surfaces the volume header at offset 0 plus a structured metadata bundle and the raw image. Walking the HAMMER B-tree (zone blockmap → cluster → inode → records) is explicitly out of scope (multi-week effort). Magic: 8-byte uint64 `vol_signature = 0xC8414D4DC5523031` ("HAMMER01") at offset 0, serialised LE on disk as `31 30 52 C5 4D 4D 41 C8`. Confidence 0.85: an 8-byte magic value at offset 0 is high-confidence but HAMMER lacks an additional sanity check at this stage of detection (the `vol_fstype` UUID at offset 64 is not validated against a well-known constant).

All identifier fields follow the ECMA-119 d/a-character rules and are truncated to the field length defined by the spec (32 for vol/sys, 128 for publisher/application). |

-| `Add` | `void Add(Stream archive, IReadOnlyList<ArchiveInputInfo> inputs)` | Adds or replaces files at the root of an existing ISO 9660 image. Uses `IsoModifier` for true random-access I/O — only the PVD (sector 16), the root directory's existing extent, and the new file's data sectors are touched. The 32 KB system area, VDST, path tables, and existing file data sectors are left untouched. Names are sanitized to the ISO 9660 8.3 d-characters identifier set; ';1' versions are added automatically by the modifier. |
-| `CreateFromStreams` | `void CreateFromStreams(Stream output, IEnumerable<StreamingArchiveInput> inputs, FormatCreateOptions options)` | Two-pass streaming creation: the pre-known per-input sizes drive the ISO 9660 path table + directory + file-extent layout in pass 1 (identical to `Create`, which flattens to leaf filenames); pass 2 streams each file's bytes from its `OpenStream` factory into its data extent via 64 KB chunks — no file is ever buffered as a `byte[]`. Output is byte-identical to `Create` for the same inputs (the ECMA-119 volume/record timestamps are sampled once per `Build`). Falls back to a buffered build when the target stream is not seekable. |
-| `Create` | `void Create(Stream output, IReadOnlyList<ArchiveInputInfo> inputs, FormatCreateOptions options)` |  |
+| `Create` | `void Create(Stream output, IReadOnlyList<ArchiveInputInfo> inputs, FormatCreateOptions options)` | Produces a fresh, mountable single-volume HAMMER image from `inputs`. HAMMER's UNDO FIFO floor forces a volume size of ~1 GB minimum; see `HammerWriter`. Each input becomes an inode + directory-entry + data record in the global B-Tree. The DragonFly kernel mounts the image and reads every file's contents byte-exact (validated via `mount_hammer` + `cksum`, including multi-block files spanning the large- and small-data zones); the image also passes `hammer show` and `hammer checkmap`. |

-| `Defragment` | `void Defragment(Stream archive, DefragOptions options)` | Mode-aware ISO 9660 defragmentor via read-extract-rebuild dispatch through `DefragRebuilder`. All four `DefragMode` values supported; image is repacked with files reordered per mode. |
-| `EnumerateExtents` | `IEnumerable<DefragBlockInfo> EnumerateExtents(Stream image)` | Walks the 32 KiB system area, the volume descriptor sequence, the path tables, and the directory tree, and yields each file's contiguous extent (LBA, length) as a single Used run — ECMA-119 mandates contiguous allocation per file. Directories surface as MetadataReserved. |
-| `ExtractEntryToMemory` | `byte[] ExtractEntryToMemory(Stream archive, string entryName, string password)` | Native in-memory single-entry extraction. |
+| `Defragment` | `void Defragment(Stream archive, DefragOptions options)` | Lays the volume out again. A file's bytes live in data records whose B-tree elements carry the offset they start at, so a move is the copy, that field, and the checksum over the node the element lives in — cheaper than reading every file out and writing a fresh volume, which is what the inherited default did for the one mode it offered. |

ISO 9660 stores file data in contiguous extents — the reader's extract returns those bytes verbatim; they are wrapped in a `BoundedEntryStream` sized to the entry's logical size. |
-| `Remove` | `void Remove(Stream archive, string[] entryNames)` | Removes the named entries from an existing ISO 9660 image. Uses `IsoModifier` for O(touched bytes) random-access I/O — the directory record is shifted out of its sector and the file's data sectors are zero-wiped. Names match case-insensitively after stripping any ';N' version suffix (ISO 9660 stores uppercase IDs). |
-| `UpdateAllocationAfterMove` | `void UpdateAllocationAfterMove(Stream image, string fileName, long oldOffset, long newOffset, long length)` |  |
-| `WipeUnusedSpace` | `long WipeUnusedSpace(Stream image, bool wipeClusterTips = true, bool wipeDeletedEntries = true)` | Zeros all unused space in the ISO 9660 image: the unused remainder of the system area, free sectors and the sector-tip slack at the tail of each file's last 2048-byte sector. ECMA-119 stores every file contiguously and pads its final sector with zeros — the bytes between the file's logical length and the sector boundary are the cluster tip. The extent map clamps each Used run to the file's logical length, so the tip presents as a free gap that the generic `UnusedSpaceWiper` zero-fills. The size lookup is keyed by the reader's full path, matching the extent FileName. |

-#### `IsoModifier`
-
-In-place ISO 9660 (ECMA-119) modifier — true random-access editing without rebuilding the whole image. Touches only the PVD (sector 16), the root directory's existing extent, and the new file's data sectors. Layout assumptions (matching `IsoWriter`): 2048-byte sectors, single-level root directory (no subdirectories).PVD at LBA 16; an optional Joliet SVD follows before the VDST.File data laid out sequentially after the directory extents.No Rock Ridge System Use entries. New file data is appended after the current volume space; the PVD's volume space size is updated and a directory record is inserted into a free slot of the existing root directory extent. Removal shifts subsequent records in-place within their sector and optionally wipes the data sectors. When the image carries a Joliet SVD, the same add/remove is mirrored into the parallel Joliet root directory (UCS-2BE long names) so both trees stay consistent.

-| `AddFile` | `static void AddFile(Stream image, string name, byte[] data)` | Adds (or replaces) a file at the root of an ISO 9660 image. The file data is appended after the current volume extent; a new directory record is written into a free slot of the root directory's existing extent. Throws `IOException` if the root directory has no free slot (extending the directory would clobber file data and is not supported). |
-| `RemoveFile` | `static bool RemoveFile(Stream image, string name, bool wipeData = true)` | Removes a named file from the root directory of an ISO 9660 image. Shifts later records within the same directory sector to fill the hole, zero-fills the trailing tail, and (by default) wipes the file's data sectors. The PVD volume space size is left unchanged: the freed sectors at the tail can be reclaimed by a subsequent `AddFile`, but truncating the image would shift offsets used by other entries. |
+| `WipeUnusedSpace` | `long WipeUnusedSpace(Stream image, bool wipeClusterTips = true, bool wipeDeletedEntries = true)` | Zero-fills everything the freemap leaves unallocated: free big-blocks outright, and the tail of a partly-used one past its append point. |

+Walks a HAMMER (DragonFly BSD, HAMMER1) volume's global B-Tree and yields the regular files it contains as `path -> bytes`. This is the read side of full file support: it parses the volume header, resolves zone offsets through the freemap (zone-4 two-layer blockmap), recursively descends the B-Tree from `vol0_btree_root`, and reassembles inodes, directory entries and data records into a directory tree. On-disk references (`sys/vfs/hammer/hammer_disk.h`):B-Tree node `hammer_node_ondisk`: `crc(4)@0`, `signature(4)@4`, `parent(8)@8`, `count(4)@16`, `type(1)@20`, then 63 elements of 64 bytes starting at @64.Element base `hammer_base_elm`: `obj_id(8)@0`, `key(8)@8`, `create_tid(8)@16`, `delete_tid(8)@24`, `rec_type(2)@32`, `obj_type(1)@34`, `btype(1)@35`, `localization(4)@36`.Internal element adds `subtree_offset(8)@40`; leaf element adds `create_ts(4)@40`, `delete_ts(4)@44`, `data_offset(8)@48`, `data_len(4)@56`, `data_crc(4)@60`.rec_type `INODE=0x0001`, `DATA=0x0010`, `DIRENTRY=0x0011`; obj_type `DIRECTORY=1`, `REGFILE=2`.Directory-entry data `hammer_direntry_data`: `obj_id(8)@0`, `localization(4)@8`, `reserved01(4)@12`, `name[]@16` (length = `data_len - 16`).Inode data `hammer_inode_data`: `obj_type(1)@64`, `size(8)@80`.

-#### `IsoWriter`
-
-Builds a minimal ISO 9660 (ECMA-119) disc image, optionally with a Joliet Supplementary Volume Descriptor. File names passed to `AddFile` may contain '/' separators; each separated segment becomes a real directory in the on-disc directory-record tree (with its own extent, "." and ".." records, and a matching path-table entry) rather than being flattened into the root directory. When `EnableJoliet` is set (the default), the writer emits a second, parallel directory tree carrying the original long, mixed-case, Unicode names as UCS-2 (UTF-16) big-endian, described by a Supplementary Volume Descriptor (type 2) with the UCS-2 level-3 escape sequence and its own L/M path tables. Both trees reference the same shared file-data extents — only the directory/name metadata differs: the primary tree carries short ECMA-119 (uppercase 8.3-ish, ";1") names, the Joliet tree the real long names.

+
+#### `HammerWriter`
+
+Writes a single-volume HAMMER (DragonFly BSD, HAMMER1) filesystem image that DragonFly recognises and mounts. The output is a faithful port of `newfs_hammer(8)` (`sbin/newfs_hammer/newfs_hammer.c`) together with the on-disk helpers in `sbin/hammer/ondisk.c` and `sbin/hammer/blockmap.c`: it lays down the volume header, the freemap (zone-4 two-layer blockmap), the UNDO/REDO FIFO (zone-3), and a minimal root B-Tree (zone-8) holding the root directory's inode and PFS#0 records. Geometry mirrors newfs exactly: the volume is split into a 256 KB header junk area (`vol_bot_beg`), a boot area, a memory log, then the zone-2 buffer area. Every metadata block carries the version-gated CRC (see `HammerCrc`).HAMMER's UNDO FIFO has a hard minimum of `HAMMER_MIN_UNDO_BIGBLOCKS (64) * HAMMER_BIGBLOCK_SIZE (8 MB) = 512 MB`, so the smallest volume that `newfs_hammer`/this writer can format is on the order of ~1 GB. The output stream is grown to that size (sparse on filesystems that support holes).Files passed to `AddFile` are materialised as real records readable by the DragonFly kernel: each gets a regular-file inode record, a directory-entry record under the root directory (keyed by the ALG1 directory namehash) and one or more zone-11 small-data records (payload split into 16 KB blocks, each rounded up to a power-of-two block). All records, plus the root inode and PFS#0 record, live in a single sorted leaf B-Tree node — which caps the image at `HAMMER_BTREE_LEAF_ELMS (63)` elements (~20 files). Files are placed flat in the root directory (no sub-directory nesting).

+#### `Hammer2FormatDescriptor`
+
+Read-only descriptor for HAMMER2 (DragonFly BSD newer) filesystem images. Surfaces the volume-data sector at offset 0 plus a structured metadata bundle and the raw image. Walking the HAMMER2 cluster B-tree (radix-tree chains, blockrefs, indirect blocks) is explicitly out of scope (multi-week effort). Magic: 8-byte uint64 at offset 0 = `HAMMER2_VOLUME_ID_HBO` (`0x48414d3205172011`) or `HAMMER2_VOLUME_ID_ABO` (`0x11201705324d4148`). The descriptor's `MagicSignatures` list covers the HBO form (LE serialisation: `11 20 17 05 32 4D 41 48`); the ABO form is recognised by the parser but is rare in practice (only arises when a HAMMER2 image is cross-mounted on opposite-endian hardware). Confidence 0.85: an 8-byte magic at offset 0 is high-confidence but the detector does no secondary sanity check (e.g. volume size plausibility, fstype UUID match).

+| `OptionsSchema` | `IReadOnlyList<FormatOptionDescriptor> OptionsSchema { get; }` | Sole tunable the HAMMER2 writer honours: the PFS label (`newfs_hammer2 -L`) given to the populated PFS that holds the user files. Volume size is intentionally not exposed — the boot/aux/topology floor pins the minimum regardless. An empty label falls back to the writer default ("DATA"). |

-| `Add` | `void Add(Stream archive, IReadOnlyList<ArchiveInputInfo> inputs)` | In-place add (or replace) per JFFS2's log-structured semantic. Each input is appended as a fresh node (inode + dirent for new files; inode only with bumped version for replaces) at the end of the live log. Existing node bytes stay byte-identical at their original offsets — the reader's highest-version-wins resolution surfaces the new content. No rebuild. |

+| `Add` | `void Add(Stream archive, IReadOnlyList<ArchiveInputInfo> inputs)` | Genuine in-place (copy-on-write) add/replace of files in the labelled PFS root: new file inodes + data blocks and the rebuilt labelled-PFS → super-root → volume-header chain are appended past the topology high-water, leaving every existing file's data byte-identical at its original offset. Falls back to the verified rebuild path when the change can't be expressed as a single inline/one-indirect blockset (nested-indirect roots, nested paths). See `Hammer2InPlaceModifier`. |
+| `Create` | `void Create(Stream output, IReadOnlyList<ArchiveInputInfo> inputs, FormatCreateOptions options)` | Produces a fresh, mountable single-volume HAMMER2 image from `inputs`. The output mirrors `newfs_hammer2`: a volume header, the super-root inode, and the "LOCAL" + labelled PFS inodes. The labelled PFS root is populated with the input files — each a regular-file inode plus a directory entry (see `Hammer2Writer`). The DragonFly kernel mounts the labelled PFS and reads every file's contents byte-exact (validated via `mount_hammer2 …@<label>` + `cksum`, including directories large enough to spill into a blockref-indirect block and files stored in an out-of-line data block). |
+| `Defragment` | `void Defragment(Stream archive, DefragOptions options)` | Lays the volume out again by moving what is out of place. A blockref names its block by a device offset, and the check beside it covers bytes a move does not change — so the move is that one field plus the chain of checks above it, up to the volume headers' own CRCs. |
+| `EnumerateExtents` | `IEnumerable<DefragBlockInfo> EnumerateExtents(Stream image)` | Where the volume keeps its bytes: the volume headers, the inodes and the indirect blocks as structure, and each file's data blocks under its name. |

-| `RebuildStreaming` | `void RebuildStreaming(Stream source, Stream target, LayoutRebuildOptions options)` | Re-lays the image out with the requested geometry. The generic default wrote the synthetic entries back as files, so the rebuilt image listed twelve entries where the original had eight and the rebuild was refused. |
-| `Remove` | `void Remove(Stream archive, string[] entryNames)` | In-place remove per JFFS2's log-structured semantic. For each named entry, an unlink dirent (`ino=0`) with `version = oldVersion + 1` is appended at the end of the log. Existing node bytes stay byte-identical; the reader's highest-version-wins resolution sees the unlink and treats the file as gone. Names that do not resolve to a live dirent are silently skipped. |
-| `WipeUnusedSpace` | `long WipeUnusedSpace(Stream image, bool wipeClusterTips = true, bool wipeDeletedEntries = true)` | Zeros the unused (free) regions of a JFFS2 image. JFFS2 is a log-structured flash filesystem: file data lives in variably-sized inode nodes packed back to back, with no fixed cluster/block allocation — there are no cluster tips to wipe. Free space is the erased-flash tail and any padding/clean gaps, which the generic wiper zero-fills. Cluster-tip wiping is therefore N/A here: no file-size lookup is supplied and `wipeClusterTips` is forced off so the per-node log layout is never mistaken for cluster-aligned runs. |
+| `Remove` | `void Remove(Stream archive, string[] entryNames)` | Genuine in-place (copy-on-write) removal of files from the labelled PFS root, rebuilding the chain above without disturbing surviving files' data. Falls back to the verified rebuild path when out of scope. |
 
-#### `Jffs2InPlaceModifier`
+#### `Hammer2Reader`
 
-True in-place R/W mutation of a JFFS2 image. JFFS2 is log-structured: a "modify" operation appends a fresh node (inode or dirent) at the end of the log with an incremented version number. Old nodes stay byte-identical at their original offsets; the reader resolves an inode or (parent-inode, name) pair to its highest-version node. This modifier preserves all existing bytes — only the tail of the log grows. Garbage collection (compaction of obsolete nodes) is deliberately out of scope here; that belongs to the defragmenter.Honest scope: appended data nodes carry their bytes uncompressed (`compr=0x00 JFFS2_COMPR_NONE`), matching what `Jffs2Writer` emits on Create. Compressed-body emission (LZO / zlib) is out of scope.
+Walks a HAMMER2 (DragonFly BSD) filesystem image and extracts the regular files living in its PFS roots. The walk mirrors the kernel's on-disk topology (`sys/vfs/hammer2/hammer2_disk.h`): pick the volume header (one of four 64 KB slots) with the highest valid `mirror_tid`;follow `sroot_blockset[0]` to the super-root inode, then each PFS-MASTER inode it references;walk each PFS root's blockset — descending through `HAMMER2_BREF_TYPE_INDIRECT` blocks — to gather the `HAMMER2_BREF_TYPE_DIRENT` entries (names + child inode numbers) and the child `HAMMER2_BREF_TYPE_INODE` entries (keyed by inode number); read each regular file's bytes from the inode's embedded direct data (`HAMMER2_OPFLAG_DIRECTDATA`) or its `HAMMER2_BREF_TYPE_DATA` blocks.Directories are recursed so nested files surface under a `parent/child` path. Data stored with a compression method other than `HAMMER2_COMP_NONE` (e.g. the kernel's default LZ4) is surfaced raw and flagged via `HasCompressedData` — decompression is out of scope.

-| `Add` | `static void Add(Stream image, IReadOnlyList<ValueTuple<string, byte[]>> inputs)` | Appends new files to the log. If an input name matches an existing file's path, a new inode node is appended with the same `ino` and `version = oldVersion + 1`, transparently replacing the prior content. Otherwise a fresh inode (plus any missing parent-directory inode chain) and a dirent are appended at the tail. Existing bytes are never rewritten. |
-| `Remove` | `static void Remove(Stream image, string name)` | Removes `name` by appending an unlink dirent (the JFFS2 idiom: `ino=0`) for the same `(pino, name)` pair with `version = oldVersion + 1`. The original nodes stay byte-identical; the reader's highest-version-wins resolution sees the unlink and treats the file as gone. Throws if the name does not resolve to a live dirent. |
-| `Replace` | `static void Replace(Stream image, string name, byte[] newData)` | Replaces the content of `name` with `newData`.

-#### `Jffs2Writer`
+#### `Hammer2Reader.FileRef`
 
-Builds a JFFS2 (Journaling Flash File System v2) image from scratch. Produces a valid log-structured image with cleanmarkers, inode nodes, and dirent nodes. Data is stored uncompressed (compr=0x00 NONE). Default erase block size: 128 KiB (common NOR flash). Files whose name contains path separators ('/' or '\') are placed inside a real directory tree: each intermediate path segment becomes its own directory inode plus a dirent in its parent, so nested paths round-trip through the reader instead of being flattened into the root.
+A regular file the reader surfaced, with the inode needed to read it back.

+#### `Hammer2Writer`
+
+Writes a single-volume HAMMER2 (DragonFly BSD) filesystem image that DragonFly recognises and mounts. The output is a faithful port of what `newfs_hammer2(8)` (`sbin/newfs_hammer2` together with the on-disk helpers in `sbin/hammer2/cmd_setcomp.c` and the kernel's `sys/vfs/hammer2/hammer2_disk.h`) lays down for a fresh, empty filesystem: the volume header (`struct hammer2_volume_data`) at byte offset 0 — magic, version, the boot/aux geometry, the allocator accounting, and the super-root blockset, each 512-byte sector protected by an iCRC and the whole 64 KB header by `icrc_volheader`;the super-root inode (`HAMMER2_PFSTYPE_SUPROOT`) whose embedded blockset references one or more PFS inodes;two PFS inodes — the default `"LOCAL"` plus the labelled PFS (e.g. `"DATA"`) — each a master with an empty root directory.The on-disk topology mirrors `newfs_hammer2` exactly: the volume header lives in the first of four redundant 64 KB slots (only slot #0 is populated by newfs, the kernel rolls the others forward on the first sync), the boot area starts at 4 MB, the aux area at 12 MB, and the reserved topology area (where the inodes live) begins at 20 MB (`allocator_beg`). HAMMER2 builds its freemap lazily, so a freshly formatted volume carries no freemap blocks at all — exactly what `newfs_hammer2` writes.Files passed to `AddFile` are materialised in the labelled PFS root exactly the way the DragonFly kernel lays them down: each file gets a regular-file inode (`HAMMER2_OBJTYPE_REGFILE`) keyed in the root blockset by its inode number, plus a `HAMMER2_BREF_TYPE_DIRENT` blockref keyed by `hammer2_dirhash(name)` carrying the filename inline. Payloads up to 512 bytes are embedded directly in the inode's union (`HAMMER2_OPFLAG_DIRECTDATA`); larger payloads are written to an allocated `HAMMER2_BREF_TYPE_DATA` block sized to the next power-of-two logical buffer. When the root's four embedded blockrefs overflow they spill into a `HAMMER2_BREF_TYPE_INDIRECT` block. All data blocks are stored uncompressed (`HAMMER2_COMP_NONE`) and protected by an xxHash64 check.

-Descriptor for IBM JFS1 aggregate images. Reader walks the kernel-fixed AIT (block 11), the indirect fileset AIM → IAG → FSIT path, and the inline dtree root + xtree extents. Writer emits a complete WORM image with FILESYSTEM_I → AIM → IAG → FSIT, dual superblocks, dmap+dmapctl with canonical `ujfs_adjtree` buddy tree, both AIT/AIM copies, and an inline-dtroot root directory with up to 8 user files. Validated clean against real `fsck.jfs -n -f -v`. State: R/W (extended mutation past leaf-only). `JfsMutator` implements: arbitrary path depth add/remove (descend by name through any intermediate directory whose dtree is inline OR external/router);long names via continuation slots chained through the head ldtentry's `next` byte (both insert and remove walk the chain);external dtree leaf-page insert/delete when the directory's dtroot has been promoted to a router (in-place stbl shift + freelist restore, with no split);recursive subdirectory removal — DFS the dtree, free every child file's xtree extents + inode + dmap bits, free the dtree pages themselves, then close out the entry in the parent;multi-dmap allocation — walks both dmap pages the writer reserves before declaring the image full;xtree extent allocate/free with inline xad slots and dmap binary-buddy `ujfs_adjtree` rerun for every modified dmap. Operations that genuinely need multi-week scope still throw `NotSupportedException` with a SPECIFIC message naming what's unsupported: inline dtroot leaf split, external dtree leaf split, xtree root promotion to non-leaf, IAG full / FSIT extent growth.

JFS carries NO data checksum and stores file bodies in dedicated xtree extents (directories are stored inline in the dinode, so they never reach the streaming path), which makes the format fully streamable: pass 1 builds every metadata structure with the file extents left zero; pass 2 seeks to each file's extent and copies its bytes from `OpenStream` in 64 KiB chunks. The output is byte-identical to `Create` for the same inputs. Falls back to the buffered default on a non-seekable target. |
+| `Add` | `void Add(Stream archive, IReadOnlyList<ArchiveInputInfo> inputs)` | Adds (or replaces by name) files inside an existing Hfs image via `AddFile`. The modifier mutates the catalog leaf, volume bitmap, MDB, and alternate MDB in place; on leaf overflow it transparently falls back to a writer-driven rebuild so the call always succeeds. |

The reader produces the decoded file bytes by walking the entry's extent or block chain; the matched bytes are wrapped in a `BoundedEntryStream` sized to the entry's logical length so cluster/extent slack past the entry's end is physically unreachable through this view. |
-| `Remove` | `void Remove(Stream archive, string[] entryNames)` |  |
-| `WipeUnusedSpace` | `long WipeUnusedSpace(Stream image, bool wipeClusterTips = true, bool wipeDeletedEntries = true)` | Zero-fills every block the allocation map reports as free — which is where a removed file's bytes stay until something else claims them. |
+| `Remove` | `void Remove(Stream archive, string[] entryNames)` | Removes the named entries from an existing Hfs image via `RemoveFile`. File data blocks are wiped and catalog records are excised from the leaf; missing names are silently ignored. |
+| `UpdateAllocationAfterMove` | `void UpdateAllocationAfterMove(Stream image, string fileName, long oldOffset, long newOffset, long length)` |  |
+| `WipeUnusedSpace` | `long WipeUnusedSpace(Stream image, bool wipeClusterTips = true, bool wipeDeletedEntries = true)` | Zeros all unused space in the HFS image: free allocation blocks, gaps between files and the block-tip slack between a file's logical size and the end of its last allocated 512-byte block. The catalog extent map clamps each file's run to its logical byte length, so trailing slack inside the final block presents as a free gap that the generic `UnusedSpaceWiper` zero-fills. The HFS extent map keys each `FileName` by the catalog leaf name, whereas `HfsReader` reports the full slash-separated path; the size lookup is therefore keyed by the leaf segment so the explicit cluster-tip pass matches. |
 
-#### `JfsReader`
+#### `HfsModifier`
 
-Reads IBM JFS1 aggregate images produced by `JfsWriter` or by real `mkfs.jfs`. Decodes the superblock, FILESYSTEM_I aggregate inode (#16), fileset inode table, and the inline dtree root directory (UCS-2 names).
+In-place HFS classic modifier — performs random-access mutation of an existing HFS image without rebuilding the entire filesystem. Tuned for the single-leaf catalog shape that `HfsWriter` emits for the common case (≤ ~30 files per image, no index node required). When an Add would overflow the single 512-byte leaf, falls back to a writer-driven rebuild transparently so the call always succeeds. What we touch on a small Add (single-leaf path):The MDB at offset 1024 — drNmFls, drFilCnt, drFreeBks, drNxtCNID, drAllocPtr, drLsMod.The alternate MDB at `(totalSectors - 2) × 512` (mirror).The volume bitmap starting at `drVBMSt × 512`.The catalog leaf node (allocation block 2 in the writer's layout).The newly-allocated allocation blocks for the file payload.

-#### `JfsWriter`
+#### `HfsWriter`
 
-Writes a minimal IBM Journaled File System (JFS1) aggregate image with a single allocation group, one fileset, and an inline dtree root directory. Byte layout matches the on-disk structures in `linux/fs/jfs` and the `jfsutils` reference (mkfs.jfs / fsck.jfs); validated by exit-zero from `fsck.jfs -n -f -v`. All integer fields are little-endian. `pxd_t` is packed as `len_addr = (len & 0xFFFFFF) | ((addr >> 32) << 24)`, `addr2 = addr & 0xFFFFFFFF`. Dtree slot names are UCS-2 (UTF-16 LE). Round-trips through `JfsReader`. Aggregate inode table (block 11..14, IXSIZE=16 KB) holds the AGGR_RESERVED_I (0), AGGREGATE_I (1, → AIM), BMAP_I (2, → block-allocation map), LOG_I (3), BADBLOCK_I (4) and FILESYSTEM_I (16, → fileset AIM) metadata inodes. The fileset inode table at blocks 29..32 holds FILESET_RSVD_I (0), FILESET_EXT_I (1), ROOT_I (2, dtroot inline), ACL_I (3) and user file inodes (4+).
+Builds a spec-compliant Classic HFS disk image per Inside Macintosh: Files (1992), chapter 2 "File Manager". Layout matches what hfsutils' libhfs expects: 512-byte B*-tree nodes (libhfs hardcodes `HFS_BLOCKSZ`=512 and validates header-record offsets at exactly 0x00e/0x078/0x0f8/0x1f8). When records can't fit a single leaf, the catalog grows into multiple leaf nodes (chained via the node-descriptor fLink/bLink) and one or more index levels are stacked above them, increasing the tree depth until a single root node fans out over the whole level below it. The header node's BTMapRec caps the catalog at 2048 nodes (no chained map nodes), which still permits well over a thousand entries in a single directory. Names passed to `AddFile` may contain `'/'` separators denoting subdirectories. Each path component below the final one becomes a real catalog folder (directory record type 1 + directory thread type 3) with its own dirID, inserted under its parent's dirID; the file lands keyed under its immediate parent folder's dirID. Current scope cuts: Allocation block size fixed at 512 bytes.ASCII-only filenames (no MacRoman high-byte handling).No resource forks; resource-fork fields in file records are zero.

-In-place HP LIF block mover. Moves sector-aligned extents within a LIF image and patches the directory entry's start-sector field so the file remains reachable at its new location. LIF files are stored contiguously. Each 32-byte directory entry records the name (10 bytes), file type (u16 BE at +10), start sector (u32 BE at +12), and sector count (u32 BE at +16). Updating the start-sector field is sufficient to redirect the file.
+In-place HFS+ block mover. Moves allocation-block-aligned extents and patches the catalog file record's fork-data extents + allocation bitmap so the file remains reachable at its new location. Streaming: the mover never loads the whole image. `Init` reads only the 512-byte volume header at offset 1024; all metadata updates are targeted reads/writes via `SectorCache` + `Flush` barriers so a crash mid-operation leaves the image fsck-recoverable. Multi-TB HFS+ images (catalog files alone can be tens of MB on large volumes) need only ~256 MB of cache RAM regardless of image size.

-Walks an HP LIF (Logical Interchange Format) volume and yields the actual on-disk byte layout — the volume label sector + the directory sectors as `MetadataReserved`, every per-file contiguous 256-byte sector run as a `Used` extent, and unused sectors as `Free`. Files in LIF are always stored contiguously, so each file produces exactly one Used run.

Mirrors what `HfsPlusReader` can extract — leaf chain via fLink, single primary extent per file. Streaming: never loads the whole image. All reads flow through a `SectorCache` so multi-TB HFS+ images (the catalog file alone can be tens of MB on large volumes) work without OOM.

 | `TarCompressionFormatId` | `string TarCompressionFormatId { get; }` |  |
-| `Add` | `void Add(Stream archive, IReadOnlyList<ArchiveInputInfo> inputs)` | Adds (or replaces by name) files inside an existing LIF image. Uses `LifModifier` for true O(touched bytes) random-access I/O — only the directory sectors and the file's contiguous data run are read or written. |
-| `CanAccept` | `bool CanAccept(ArchiveInputInfo input, out string reason)` |  |
+| `Add` | `void Add(Stream archive, IReadOnlyList<ArchiveInputInfo> inputs)` | Adds (or replaces by name) files inside an existing HFS+ image via `AddFile`. The modifier mutates the catalog leaf, allocation bitmap, and volume header in place; on leaf overflow it transparently falls back to a writer-driven rebuild so the call always succeeds. |
+| `CreateFromStreams` | `void CreateFromStreams(Stream output, IEnumerable<StreamingArchiveInput> inputs, FormatCreateOptions options)` | Two-pass streaming creation: pre-known per-input sizes drive allocation-block geometry + catalog B-tree planning in pass 1; pass 2 emits the volume header + allocation bitmap + extents B-tree + catalog B-tree (with file records pointing at single-extent allocations) + the alternate volume header, then streams each input's bytes from its `OpenStream` factory into its allocated extent run via 64 KB chunks. Block tail past each entry's exact `Size` stays sparse-zero. |

 | `Defragment` | `void Defragment(Stream archive)` |  |
-| `Defragment` | `void Defragment(Stream archive, DefragOptions options)` | Mode-aware LIF defragmentor. Tries planner-driven in-place path first, falls back to rebuild path on error. |
-| `EnumerateExtents` | `IEnumerable<DefragBlockInfo> EnumerateExtents(Stream image)` | Walks the LIF directory and yields the actual on-disk byte layout — the volume label + directory sectors as `MetadataReserved`, every per-file contiguous 256-byte sector run as a `Used` extent, and unused sectors as `Free`. |
+| `Defragment` | `void Defragment(Stream archive, DefragOptions options)` | Mode-aware HFS+ defragmentor via read-extract-rebuild dispatch through `DefragRebuilder`. The writer always emits a contiguous, start-packed allocation block layout, so all four `DefragMode` values converge on a clean repack. |
+| `EnumerateExtents` | `IEnumerable<DefragBlockInfo> EnumerateExtents(Stream image)` | Walks the HFS+ catalog B-tree leaf chain and yields the actual on-disk byte layout — reserved boot region + volume header + allocation file + catalog file as `MetadataReserved`, every file record's first data-fork extent (`HFSPlusForkData.extents[0]`) as `Used`. |

 | `MoveExtent` | `void MoveExtent(Stream image, long srcOffset, long dstOffset, long length, bool zeroSource = false)` |  |
-| `Remove` | `void Remove(Stream archive, string[] entryNames)` | Removes the named entries from an existing LIF image. Uses `LifModifier` for O(touched bytes) random-access I/O. |
+| `OpenEntry` | `Stream OpenEntry(Stream archive, string entryName, string password)` | Opens a single filesystem entry as a bounded read-only stream. The reader produces the decoded file bytes by walking the entry's extent or block chain; the matched bytes are wrapped in a `BoundedEntryStream` sized to the entry's logical length so cluster/extent slack past the entry's end is physically unreachable through this view. |
+| `Remove` | `void Remove(Stream archive, string[] entryNames)` | Removes the named entries from an existing HFS+ image via `RemoveFile`. File data blocks are wiped and the catalog records are excised from the leaf node; missing names are silently ignored. |
 | `UpdateAllocationAfterMove` | `void UpdateAllocationAfterMove(Stream image, string fileName, long oldOffset, long newOffset, long length)` |  |
-| `WipeUnusedSpace` | `long WipeUnusedSpace(Stream image, bool wipeClusterTips = true, bool wipeDeletedEntries = true)` | Zeros the unused (free) sectors of a LIF volume. LIF stores each file as a contiguous run of 256-byte sectors, but the directory entry records the file length only in whole sectors — there is no byte-precise logical size on disk, so a file exactly fills its allocated sectors and there is no recoverable cluster tip. Cluster-tip wiping is therefore N/A: no file-size lookup is supplied and `wipeClusterTips` is forced off so a sector-rounded run is never trimmed below its real on-disk extent. |
-
-#### `LifModifier`
-
-Random-access in-place modifier for HP LIF (Logical Interchange Format) volumes. The on-disk layout is a flat directory of fixed 32-byte entries followed by contiguous file data; LIF has no allocation bitmap, so free space is recovered by scanning the existing directory for live extents. Files land in the lowest contiguous sector gap above the directory area that fits, mirroring the BBC DFS modifier strategy. Only the directory sectors and the file's own data run are touched on each call.

-| --- | --- | --- |
-| `AddFile` | `static void AddFile(Stream image, string name, byte[] data, ushort fileType = 57376)` | Adds a file to an existing LIF image. Caller is responsible for ensuring the name does not already exist (use `RemoveFile` first for replace-by-name semantics). The file is placed in the lowest contiguous gap large enough to hold it; the underlying stream is grown if necessary. |
-| `RemoveFile` | `static bool RemoveFile(Stream image, string name, bool wipeData = true)` | Removes a named file from the image. Returns true if found and removed. When `wipeData` is true (the default) the file data sectors are zeroed before the directory is rewritten. |
+| `WipeUnusedSpace` | `long WipeUnusedSpace(Stream image, bool wipeClusterTips = true, bool wipeDeletedEntries = true)` | Zeros all unused space in the HFS+ image: free allocation blocks, gaps between files and the block-tip slack between a file's logical size and the end of its last allocated block. The catalog extent map clamps each file's first-fork run to its logical byte length, so trailing slack inside the final block presents as a free gap that the generic `UnusedSpaceWiper` zero-fills. The size lookup is keyed by the reader's full path, matching the extent map's FileName. |
 
-#### `LifReader`
+#### `HfsPlusModifier`
 
-Reader for HP LIF (Logical Interchange Format) volumes — the disk format used by the HP Series 80, HP-71, HP-75, and HP-85 personal computers as well as the HP-IL/HP-IB peripherals from that era. Volumes contain a flat directory of fixed-length files described by 32-byte directory entries.
+In-place HFS+ modifier — performs random-access mutation of an existing HFS+ image without rebuilding the whole filesystem. Designed for the single-leaf catalog shape that `HfsPlusWriter` emits (treeDepth=1, root==leaf node 1). When an Add would overflow the single leaf, the modifier falls back to a writer-driven rebuild via `HfsPlusWriter` so the operation always succeeds. What we touch on a small Add:The volume header (offset 1024) — file count, free blocks, next CNID.The alternate volume header at `imageSize-1024` (mirror).The allocation bitmap block (block 1).The catalog leaf node (block 3 → offset 3×blockSize for the standard layout).The newly-allocated data blocks for the file payload.

+Creates minimal HFS+ filesystem images per Apple TN1150 ("HFS Plus Volume Format"). Produces a 4 MB image with 4 KB block size by default. Files are stored uncompressed in the data fork using single-extent allocation. The catalog file record is the full 248-byte `HFSPlusCatalogFile` layout with the data fork `HFSPlusForkData` struct at offset 88 and the resource fork `HFSPlusForkData` at offset 168, matching TN1150.

-| `OptionsSchema` | `IReadOnlyList<FormatOptionDescriptor> OptionsSchema { get; }` | The only writer-honoured knob is the block size: it is recorded in the littlefs superblock geometry (and bounds the inline-file threshold and CTZ block layout).

 | `TarCompressionFormatId` | `string TarCompressionFormatId { get; }` |  |
-| `Add` | `void Add(Stream archive, IReadOnlyList<ArchiveInputInfo> inputs)` | Genuine in-place add/replace: rewrites only the inactive half of the root metadata pair with a fresh commit at `revision+1` and appends any new CTZ / subdirectory blocks past the current block count. The active root half and every existing data block stay byte-identical at their offsets — the littlefs metadata-pair ping-pong / copy-on-write model. See `LittleFsInPlaceModifier`. |
-| `Create` | `void Create(Stream output, IReadOnlyList<ArchiveInputInfo> inputs, FormatCreateOptions options)` | Builds a fresh littlefs image from `inputs`. Files keep their archive-relative paths (forward-slash separated), so subdirectories are recreated as littlefs directory metadata pairs. Small files are stored inline; larger ones use CTZ skip-lists. The result round-trips through `LittleFsReader`. |
-| `Defragment` | `void Defragment(Stream archive, DefragOptions options)` | Lays the volume out again by moving blocks. Nothing outside a file names its blocks except the head: the rest are named from inside the file, by the pointers each block opens with. Those are threaded again from the finished order, and the head is written into the commit that names it. |
+| `Add` | `void Add(Stream archive, IReadOnlyList<ArchiveInputInfo> inputs)` | In-place root-level Add: flips bitmap bits at LBA 24 to allocate fresh data + FNODE sectors, writes them at their freshly-allocated offsets, and inserts the new dirent into the root DIRBLK at LBA 20 by shifting later dirents in place. Untouched sectors stay byte-identical. Subdirectory paths and DIRBLK overflow fall through to the rebuild path so callers always get a result. |

-#### `LittleFsInPlaceModifier`
-
-Genuine in-place modifier for littlefs v2 images emitted by `LittleFsWriter`. littlefs is inherently append/copy-on-write within its erase blocks: each metadata pair ping-pongs between its two blocks (the half with the higher revision count wins), and file data lives in CTZ skip-list blocks addressed by block index. This modifier exploits exactly that: The root metadata pair stays at blocks 0,1. A mutation rewrites only the inactive half (the one with the lower revision) with a fresh commit at `revision+1` carrying the updated directory — the active half stays byte-identical, exactly the metadata-pair ping-pong the reference driver performs.New subdirectory metadata pairs and new CTZ file data are written into blocks appended past the current block count; existing data blocks are never overwritten or relocated, so they stay byte-identical at their offsets.In-place invariant. Add / Replace / Remove preserve the active root half plus every existing CTZ/subdir block byte-identical at its offset, and grow the image by only the blocks the new tree needs (O(bytes changed) for the common flat-file case). The superblock's `block_count` is updated in the rewritten root commit (it is covered by the commit CRC, so it is re-emitted, not patched).Verification. littlefs has no Linux fsck; correctness is proven by the reader round-trip plus the byte-identity offset proof.

+| `OpenEntry` | `Stream OpenEntry(Stream archive, string entryName, string password)` | Opens a single filesystem entry as a bounded read-only stream. The reader produces the decoded file bytes by walking the entry's extent or block chain; the matched bytes are wrapped in a `BoundedEntryStream` sized to the entry's logical length so cluster/extent slack past the entry's end is physically unreachable through this view. |
+| `Remove` | `void Remove(Stream archive, string[] entryNames)` | In-place root-level Remove: zeros the file's data + FNODE sectors, flips their bitmap bits back to free, and excises the dirent from the root DIRBLK by shifting later dirents back. Untouched sectors stay byte-identical. |
+| `WipeUnusedSpace` | `long WipeUnusedSpace(Stream image, bool wipeClusterTips = true, bool wipeDeletedEntries = true)` | Zeros all unused space in the HPFS image: free sectors, gaps between files and the sector-tip slack between a file's logical size and the end of its last allocated 512-byte sector. The extent map clamps each file's data run to its logical byte length, so trailing slack inside the final sector presents as a free gap that the generic `UnusedSpaceWiper` zero-fills. The size lookup is keyed by the reader's full path, matching the extent FileName. |

-In-place MFS block mover. Moves allocation-block-aligned extents within an MFS image and patches the directory entry's first-block field so the file remains reachable at its new location. MFS stores files in contiguous allocation blocks. Each directory entry records a first-block field (u16 BE at +26) and a file size (u32 BE at +28). The allocation map is derived implicitly from the union of directory entries, so updating the directory entry's first-block pointer is sufficient to redirect the file to its new location.

-#### `MfsModifier`
+#### `HtfsOptimalParameters`
 
-In-place modifier for MFS (Macintosh File System) disk images. Performs add / remove on an existing image with strict O(touched bytes) I/O — only reads the volume info block (sector 2), the file directory area (sectors 3 through `drAlBlSt - 1`), and the affected file's allocation blocks. Never reads or writes the entire image. The companion `MfsWriter` rebuilds an image from scratch; this class is for the "I have an existing image, mutate it" path that `IArchiveModifiable` exposes.Layout reminders for the simplified MFS variant produced by `MfsWriter` and consumed by `MfsReader`: Sectors 0-1: boot blocks (1024 bytes total).Sector 2 (offset 1024): MDB / volume info block — magic 0xD2D7 BE, `drNmAlBlks` at +18 (u16 BE), `drAlBlkSiz` at +20 (u32 BE), `drAlBlSt` (first allocation-block sector) at +28 (u16 BE), volume name pstring at +36.File directory: starts at offset 1024+128 (= 1152, mid sector 2) and runs up to `drAlBlSt * 512`.Each directory entry is variable length: +0: flags byte (0x80 = in use, 0 = end-of-directory marker).+1: version byte.+26: first allocation block (u16 BE, 0-based within data area).+28: logical EOF / data size in bytes (u32 BE).+38: name length byte.+39..: ASCII name, padded so total entry length is even.Allocation blocks (`drAlBlkSiz` bytes each, typically 1024) start at `drAlBlSt * 512` and are stored contiguously per file. Block IDs are 0-based within the data area in this implementation.Real-MFS-on-disk would also have a 12-bit packed block map between the MDB and the directory; the simplified writer omits it. The modifier therefore derives allocation status by walking the existing directory entries (each entry covers blocks `FirstBlock`..`FirstBlock + ⌈Size / drAlBlkSiz⌉ - 1`), which matches what the round-trip reader/writer already do. This keeps the on-disk format compatible with the round-trip path.
+Optimal HTFS layout as picked by `Find`.

S5-derived HTFS uses 512-byte blocks (BlockSize knob can override), block-based inode array immediately after the SB, and directory bodies storing 16-byte name + inode entries. The on-disk magic + s_isize/s_fsize fields are spec-compliant so `TryParse` recognises the image.

-In-place Minix v3 block mover. Moves zone-aligned extents within a MinixFS image and patches inode zone pointers + zone bitmap so the file remains reachable. Streaming: the image is never loaded whole. Reads go through a `SectorCache`; metadata updates (inode zone pointers, zone bitmap bits) are targeted single-region writes with `Flush` barriers between steps so a crash mid-update leaves the image in an fsck-recoverable state.

-Walks a Minix filesystem image (v1/v2/v3) and yields the actual on-disk byte layout: the boot block + superblock + inode/zone bitmaps + inode table as a single `MetadataReserved` run, each directory's zones as `MetadataReserved` (they hold directory entries, not file payload), and each regular file's data zones as `Used` runs. Unclaimed zones are reported as `Free`. This replaces the earlier synthetic layout that fabricated `offset += size` extents — those never matched the real zone offsets, so any consumer that zero-filled the gaps (e.g. the unused-space wiper) would have corrupted live file data, inode tables and bitmaps.For a regular file whose data zones are contiguous, a single Used extent is emitted with the file's name as `FileName` so the wiper can locate the zone tip via a size lookup. A file split across non-contiguous zone runs emits one Used extent per run with a name that is deliberately absent from the size lookup, so tip trimming never misfires on a run that does not start at file offset zero.
+Enumerates the on-disk byte layout of a Human68k disk image: boot sector, FAT(s), and root directory are emitted as `MetadataReserved`; every file's first cluster + size is collapsed into one `Used` extent (Human68k's reader currently surfaces only the first contiguous run); unattributed sectors are left for the caller to fill as `Free`.

+Descriptor for Sharp X68000 Human68k disk images. The Human68k filesystem is FAT12-derived with Shift_JIS filenames and an "X68K" identifier at boot-sector offset 0x10. Recognised extension is `.dim` (Disk Image Manager); the `.hdf` extension that Human68k historically used is intentionally NOT claimed here — it collides with the more-common HDF4 scientific data format, which owns `.hdf` in this registry. Human68k supports subdirectories per the FAT12 model; the current minimal writer emits a single flat root directory only — hierarchical writes are deferred. The reader handles subdirectory dirents at the root by surfacing them as entries with `IsDirectory` set, but does not recurse into them (kept honest in the descriptor capabilities).Capabilities: read + write (flat-only writer), defragment via extract-and-rebuild, free-space wiping driven by the extent map, and creation-options schema for bytes-per-sector / sectors-per-cluster / total-sectors / volume label.

Falls back to whole-image rebuild only when the image has no free inode/zone or the file exceeds the direct-pointer ceiling. |
-| `CreateFromStreams` | `void CreateFromStreams(Stream output, IEnumerable<StreamingArchiveInput> inputs, FormatCreateOptions options)` | Two-pass streaming creation: pre-known per-input sizes drive the Minix v3 zone allocation in pass 1; pass 2 writes the metadata image with each file's data zones left zero, then streams each input's bytes from its `OpenStream` factory into its first allocated zone via 64 KB chunks. The output is byte-identical to `Create` for the same inputs (Minix has no data checksums). Falls back to the buffered default when the target stream is not seekable. Note: Minix v3 caps a file at 7 direct zones (7168 bytes), so large-file streaming is bounded by that ceiling. |
+| `Add` | `void Add(Stream archive, IReadOnlyList<ArchiveInputInfo> inputs)` | Adds (or replaces by name) files inside an existing Human68k image. Tries genuine O(touched bytes) in-place I/O via `Human68kModifier` (allocate contiguous free clusters, chain the FAT, write the dirent); only when the disk has no room (no free dir slot / no contiguous run) does it fall back to a growing rebuild that re-sizes the image. |

Data zones are reached through the inode's zone pointers and the writer allocates them contiguously per file, so a size lookup keyed by file name lets the generic `UnusedSpaceWiper` trim each tip precisely without touching the inode table, bitmaps or directory zones. |
+| `Remove` | `void Remove(Stream archive, string[] entryNames)` | Removes the named entries in place: frees the FAT chain, wipes the clusters, and marks the dirent deleted (0xE5). |

-#### `MinixFsInPlaceModifier`
+#### `Human68kModifier`
 
-TRUE in-place R/W modifier for Minix v1/v2/v3 filesystem images. Performs O(touched bytes) random-access mutation: only the superblock, the relevant inode/zone bitmap bytes, the affected inode slot, the root directory zone, and the file's data zones are read or written. All other bytes of the image remain byte-identical. The version is autodetected from the superblock magic at byte offsets 1040 (V1/V2) or 1048 (V3) of the image: 0x137F — V1, 14-char names0x138F — V1, 30-char names0x2468 — V2, 14-char names0x2478 — V2, 30-char names0x4D5A — V3, 60-char namesHonest scope: file data is stored only via direct-zone pointers. Larger files (single-indirect, double-indirect, triple-indirect allocation) are deferred — callers asking for files larger than `7 * blockSize` must fall back to rebuild. Subdirectory creation is deferred for the same reason. Existing indirect-allocated file content is still correctly freed on Remove, however.
+In-place modifier for Sharp X68000 Human68k (FAT12) disk images. Performs add / remove with strict O(touched bytes) I/O — only the FAT sector(s) covering the touched cluster chain, the affected root-directory entry, and the file's data clusters are read or written. Existing files' data bytes stay byte-identical at their original cluster offsets, and a same-size update never changes the image length. The companion `Human68kReader` surfaces only the first contiguous cluster-aligned run of a file, so this modifier allocates contiguous cluster runs (and chains them in the FAT) — the data is therefore both reader-faithful and FAT-correct.Returns `false` from `TryAddFile` when the disk has no contiguous free run / no free directory slot, so the caller can fall back to a growing rebuild for those genuinely-unsupported cases.

-#### `MinixFsWriter`
+#### `Human68kReader`
 
-Builds minimal Minix v3 filesystem images. Uses 1024-byte blocks and creates real directory inodes for every path component, so a file added as `"a/b/c.txt"` is stored under nested directories `a` and `a/b`. Files are stored using direct zone pointers (up to 7 direct zones per file = up to 7168 bytes with 1K blocks). Directories may span multiple zones: their fixed-size entries fill the 7 direct zones and then a single-indirect zone, allowing a directory to hold thousands of entries (7 + 1024/4 = 263 zones = 4208 entries with 1K blocks).
+Reads Sharp X68000 Human68k disk images.

+#### `IsoBlockMover`
+
+In-place ISO 9660 block mover. ISO files are single-extent contiguous by spec (ECMA-119), so moving a file means patching the directory record's extent LBA and data length fields. The PVD is also patched for volume space size adjustments if needed. Streaming: reads only the PVD + directory sectors via a `SectorCache`. A 100 GB DVD/BD image never gets loaded as a whole — only the touched sectors are read, and each metadata write is followed by a `Flush` barrier so a crash mid-move can never reference garbage.

+Walks an ISO 9660 image and yields its actual on-disk byte layout — the 32 KiB system area, every Volume Descriptor sector (PVD/SVD/VDST), the path tables, every directory record's contiguous extent (ISO 9660 spec requires single-extent files), and the trailing free space. Each file surfaces as exactly one Used extent because ECMA-119 mandates contiguous allocation. Streaming: reads only the volume descriptor sectors + one directory's contents at a time through a `SectorCache`. A 100 GB DVD/BD image needs only ~256 MB of cache regardless of size — directory bytes are pulled on-demand from disk rather than loaded whole.

-| `OptionsSchema` | `IReadOnlyList<FormatOptionDescriptor> OptionsSchema { get; }` | Minix v1 geometry (1024-byte blocks, 32-byte inodes) is fixed, but the on-disk directory-name width is a genuine format variant the writer honours: 14-byte names (magic 0x137F) or 30-byte names (magic 0x138F). Selecting "30" changes both the superblock magic and every directory entry's size. |
-| `ReclaimSupport` | `LayoutReclaim ReclaimSupport { get; }` | A zone pointer of zero names no zone, so a run of zeros need not be allocated; and the inode counts the names pointing at it, so identical files can share one copy under several of them. |
+| `OptionsSchema` | `IReadOnlyList<FormatOptionDescriptor> OptionsSchema { get; }` | Tunable knobs for ISO 9660 creation: ECMA-119 volume identifier, system identifier, publisher, application, plus the Joliet extension toggle. All identifier fields follow the ECMA-119 d/a-character rules and are truncated to the field length defined by the spec (32 for vol/sys, 128 for publisher/application). |
 | `TarCompressionFormatId` | `string TarCompressionFormatId { get; }` |  |
-| `Add` | `void Add(Stream archive, IReadOnlyList<ArchiveInputInfo> inputs)` | Adds (or replaces by name) files inside an existing Minix v1 image via `MinixV1InPlaceModifier` — TRUE in-place O(touched bytes) I/O (allocate inode + data zones, append zones at EOF when the image is full, write the directory entry). Falls back to a whole-image rebuild only for nested paths or payloads beyond the direct + single-indirect ceiling. |
-| `Create` | `void Create(Stream output, IReadOnlyList<ArchiveInputInfo> inputs, FormatCreateOptions options)` | Creates a fresh Minix v1 image holding the supplied inputs. Path separators in an input's archive name produce nested directory inodes, each with its own `"."`/`".."` entries. |
+| `Add` | `void Add(Stream archive, IReadOnlyList<ArchiveInputInfo> inputs)` | Adds or replaces files at the root of an existing ISO 9660 image. Uses `IsoModifier` for true random-access I/O — only the PVD (sector 16), the root directory's existing extent, and the new file's data sectors are touched. The 32 KB system area, VDST, path tables, and existing file data sectors are left untouched. Names are sanitized to the ISO 9660 8.3 d-characters identifier set; ';1' versions are added automatically by the modifier. |
+| `CreateFromStreams` | `void CreateFromStreams(Stream output, IEnumerable<StreamingArchiveInput> inputs, FormatCreateOptions options)` | Two-pass streaming creation: the pre-known per-input sizes drive the ISO 9660 path table + directory + file-extent layout in pass 1 (identical to `Create`, which flattens to leaf filenames); pass 2 streams each file's bytes from its `OpenStream` factory into its data extent via 64 KB chunks — no file is ever buffered as a `byte[]`. Output is byte-identical to `Create` for the same inputs (the ECMA-119 volume/record timestamps are sampled once per `Build`). Falls back to a buffered build when the target stream is not seekable. |
+| `Create` | `void Create(Stream output, IReadOnlyList<ArchiveInputInfo> inputs, FormatCreateOptions options)` |  |
 | `Defragment` | `void Defragment(Stream archive)` |  |
-| `Defragment` | `void Defragment(Stream archive, DefragOptions options)` | Lays the volume out again. A file's bytes are addressed one zone at a time by two-byte pointers in its inode and the indirect blocks below it, so a move is the copy, those pointers, and the bit per zone that says whether it is taken. |
-| `EnumerateExtents` | `IEnumerable<DefragBlockInfo> EnumerateExtents(Stream image)` |  |
-| `ExtractEntryToMemory` | `byte[] ExtractEntryToMemory(Stream archive, string entryName, string password)` | Native in-memory single-entry extraction routed through the bounded `OpenEntry`. |
+| `Defragment` | `void Defragment(Stream archive, DefragOptions options)` | Mode-aware ISO 9660 defragmentor via read-extract-rebuild dispatch through `DefragRebuilder`. All four `DefragMode` values supported; image is repacked with files reordered per mode. |
+| `EnumerateExtents` | `IEnumerable<DefragBlockInfo> EnumerateExtents(Stream image)` | Walks the 32 KiB system area, the volume descriptor sequence, the path tables, and the directory tree, and yields each file's contiguous extent (LBA, length) as a single Used run — ECMA-119 mandates contiguous allocation per file. Directories surface as MetadataReserved. |
+| `ExtractEntryToMemory` | `byte[] ExtractEntryToMemory(Stream archive, string entryName, string password)` | Native in-memory single-entry extraction. |
 | `Extract` | `void Extract(Stream stream, string outputDir, string password, string[] files)` |  |
 | `List` | `List<ArchiveEntryInfo> List(Stream stream, string password)` |  |
-| `OpenEntry` | `Stream OpenEntry(Stream archive, string entryName, string password)` | Opens a single file entry as a bounded stream over the inode's reassembled data zones. Reads past the entry's logical size return 0 (EOF). |
-| `RebuildStreaming` | `void RebuildStreaming(Stream source, Stream target, LayoutRebuildOptions options)` |  |
-| `Remove` | `void Remove(Stream archive, string[] entryNames)` | Removes the named entries in-place via `MinixV1InPlaceModifier`. |
-| `WipeUnusedSpace` | `long WipeUnusedSpace(Stream image, bool wipeClusterTips = true, bool wipeDeletedEntries = true)` | Zero-fills every zone the bitmap leaves clear — which is where a removed file's bytes stay until something else claims them. |
+| `MoveExtent` | `void MoveExtent(Stream image, long srcOffset, long dstOffset, long length, bool zeroSource = false)` |  |
+| `OpenEntry` | `Stream OpenEntry(Stream archive, string entryName, string password)` | Opens a single ISO 9660 file entry as a bounded read-only `Stream`. ISO 9660 stores file data in contiguous extents — the reader's extract returns those bytes verbatim; they are wrapped in a `BoundedEntryStream` sized to the entry's logical size. |
+| `Remove` | `void Remove(Stream archive, string[] entryNames)` | Removes the named entries from an existing ISO 9660 image. Uses `IsoModifier` for O(touched bytes) random-access I/O — the directory record is shifted out of its sector and the file's data sectors are zero-wiped. Names match case-insensitively after stripping any ';N' version suffix (ISO 9660 stores uppercase IDs). |
+| `UpdateAllocationAfterMove` | `void UpdateAllocationAfterMove(Stream image, string fileName, long oldOffset, long newOffset, long length)` |  |
+| `WipeUnusedSpace` | `long WipeUnusedSpace(Stream image, bool wipeClusterTips = true, bool wipeDeletedEntries = true)` | Zeros all unused space in the ISO 9660 image: the unused remainder of the system area, free sectors and the sector-tip slack at the tail of each file's last 2048-byte sector. ECMA-119 stores every file contiguously and pads its final sector with zeros — the bytes between the file's logical length and the sector boundary are the cluster tip. The extent map clamps each Used run to the file's logical length, so the tip presents as a free gap that the generic `UnusedSpaceWiper` zero-fills. The size lookup is keyed by the reader's full path, matching the extent FileName. |
 
-#### `MinixV1InPlaceModifier`
+#### `IsoModifier`
 
-TRUE in-place R/W modifier for original Minix v1 filesystem images. Performs O(touched bytes) random-access mutation against the real mkfs.minix on-disk layout: only the superblock zone-count field, the relevant inode/zone bitmap bytes, the affected inode slot, the touched directory zone and the file's data zones (plus a single-indirect pointer block when needed) are read or written. Every other byte stays byte-identical. The v1 bitmaps follow the classic mkfs.minix convention: the inode bitmap addresses inode `i` at bit `i` (bit 0 reserved), and the zone bitmap addresses zone `Z` at bit `Z - firstDataZone + 1` (bit 0 reserved). When the image has no free zone, fresh zones are appended at the end of the image (the bitmap and `s_nzones` grow with it) — a genuine in-place grow, not a re-pack.Honest scope: files are stored through the 7 direct zones plus the one single-indirect zone (up to 7 + 512 = 519 zones ≈ 531 KB). Anything larger, or a request the bitmap cannot satisfy, throws `IOException` so the descriptor can fall back to a full rebuild. Subdirectory creation is also deferred to rebuild. Existing double-indirect content is still freed on Remove.
+In-place ISO 9660 (ECMA-119) modifier — true random-access editing without rebuilding the whole image. Touches only the PVD (sector 16), the root directory's existing extent, and the new file's data sectors. Layout assumptions (matching `IsoWriter`): 2048-byte sectors, single-level root directory (no subdirectories).PVD at LBA 16; an optional Joliet SVD follows before the VDST.File data laid out sequentially after the directory extents.No Rock Ridge System Use entries. New file data is appended after the current volume space; the PVD's volume space size is updated and a directory record is inserted into a free slot of the existing root directory extent. Removal shifts subsequent records in-place within their sector and optionally wipes the data sectors. When the image carries a Joliet SVD, the same add/remove is mirrored into the parallel Joliet root directory (UCS-2BE long names) so both trees stay consistent.

-| `Replace` | `static bool Replace(Stream image, string name, byte[] data)` | Replaces a named regular file's data in-place. |
+| `AddFile` | `static void AddFile(Stream image, string name, byte[] data)` | Adds (or replaces) a file at the root of an ISO 9660 image. The file data is appended after the current volume extent; a new directory record is written into a free slot of the root directory's existing extent. Throws `IOException` if the root directory has no free slot (extending the directory would clobber file data and is not supported). |
+| `RemoveFile` | `static bool RemoveFile(Stream image, string name, bool wipeData = true)` | Removes a named file from the root directory of an ISO 9660 image. Shifts later records within the same directory sector to fill the hole, zero-fills the trailing tail, and (by default) wipes the file's data sectors. The PVD volume space size is left unchanged: the freed sectors at the tail can be reclaimed by a subsequent `AddFile`, but truncating the image would shift offsets used by other entries. |
 
-#### `MinixV1Reader`
+#### `IsoReader`
 
-Reads original Minix v1 filesystem images (1987, Tanenbaum's "Operating Systems: Design and Implementation"). The v1 layout uses 16-bit zone numbers, 16-bit inode counts, 32-byte inodes (7 direct + 1 indirect + 1 double-indirect zone pointer), and 1024-byte blocks. Two magic flavors: 0x137F (14-byte directory names) and 0x138F (30-byte directory names — Coherent / Minix patched variant).

-Builds minimal but spec-correct original Minix v1 filesystem images (1987, Tanenbaum). The v1 on-disk format uses 1024-byte blocks, 16-bit zone numbers, 16-bit inode counts and 32-byte inodes addressing data through 7 direct zones, 1 single-indirect and 1 double-indirect zone. Directory names are 14 bytes (magic `0x137F`) or 30 bytes (magic `0x138F`). Every path component becomes a real directory inode carrying its own `"."`/`".."` entries, so a file added as `"a/b/c.txt"` is stored under nested directories `a` and `a/b`. Files larger than the 7 direct zones (7168 bytes) spill into the single-indirect zone, which addresses a further 512 zones (524 288 bytes); beyond that the double-indirect zone extends the reach further still.
+#### `IsoWriter`
 
-Implements `IDisposable`.
+Builds a minimal ISO 9660 (ECMA-119) disc image, optionally with a Joliet Supplementary Volume Descriptor. File names passed to `AddFile` may contain '/' separators; each separated segment becomes a real directory in the on-disc directory-record tree (with its own extent, "." and ".." records, and a matching path-table entry) rather than being flattened into the root directory. When `EnableJoliet` is set (the default), the writer emits a second, parallel directory tree carrying the original long, mixed-case, Unicode names as UCS-2 (UTF-16) big-endian, described by a Supplementary Volume Descriptor (type 2) with the UCS-2 level-3 escape sequence and its own L/M path tables. Both trees reference the same shared file-data extents — only the directory/name metadata differs: the primary tree carries short ECMA-119 (uppercase 8.3-ish, ";1") names, the Joliet tree the real long names.

+| `AddFile` | `void AddFile(string name, byte[] data)` | Adds a file to the image. The name may contain '/' path separators, in which case the intermediate segments are created as directories. |
+| `AddStreamingFile` | `void AddStreamingFile(string name, long size, Func<Stream> openStream)` | Adds a streaming file: `size` drives extent + path-table + directory-record sizing in pass 1; bytes are pulled from `openStream` in pass 2 of `BuildToStreaming`. Never buffered as `byte[]`. |
+| `BuildToStreaming` | `void BuildToStreaming(Stream output)` | Two-pass streaming Build: pass 1 lays out the identical ISO image (same descriptors, path tables, directory extents, and file-data extent placement as `Build`) with each streaming file's data extent left zero; pass 2 seeks to each file's extent byte offset and copies its bytes from the opener in 64 KB chunks. The sector tail past each file's logical size stays zero, exactly as the in-memory path leaves it.

Existing node bytes stay byte-identical at their original offsets — the reader's highest-version-wins resolution surfaces the new content. No rebuild. |
+| `Create` | `void Create(Stream output, IReadOnlyList<ArchiveInputInfo> inputs, FormatCreateOptions options)` |  |
 | `Defragment` | `void Defragment(Stream archive)` |  |
-| `Defragment` | `void Defragment(Stream archive, DefragOptions options)` | Lays the volume out again. A file's bytes are addressed one zone at a time by two-byte pointers in its inode and the indirect blocks below it, so a move is the copy, those pointers, and the bit per zone that says whether it is taken. |

 | `List` | `List<ArchiveEntryInfo> List(Stream stream, string password)` |  |
-| `OpenEntry` | `Stream OpenEntry(Stream archive, string entryName, string password)` | Opens a single file entry as a bounded stream over the inode's reassembled data zones (including triple-indirect blocks for large files). Reads past the entry's logical size return 0 (EOF). |
-| `RebuildStreaming` | `void RebuildStreaming(Stream source, Stream target, LayoutRebuildOptions options)` |  |
-| `Remove` | `void Remove(Stream archive, string[] entryNames)` | Removes the named entries in-place via `MinixV2InPlaceModifier`. |

+| `OpenEntry` | `Stream OpenEntry(Stream archive, string entryName, string password)` | Opens a single file entry as a bounded stream over the inode's reassembled data nodes. Reads past the entry's logical size return 0 (EOF). Unknown names return an empty bounded stream. |
+| `RebuildStreaming` | `void RebuildStreaming(Stream source, Stream target, LayoutRebuildOptions options)` | Re-lays the image out with the requested geometry. The generic default wrote the synthetic entries back as files, so the rebuilt image listed twelve entries where the original had eight and the rebuild was refused. |
+| `Remove` | `void Remove(Stream archive, string[] entryNames)` | In-place remove per JFFS2's log-structured semantic. For each named entry, an unlink dirent (`ino=0`) with `version = oldVersion + 1` is appended at the end of the log. Existing node bytes stay byte-identical; the reader's highest-version-wins resolution sees the unlink and treats the file as gone. Names that do not resolve to a live dirent are silently skipped. |
+| `WipeUnusedSpace` | `long WipeUnusedSpace(Stream image, bool wipeClusterTips = true, bool wipeDeletedEntries = true)` | Zeros the unused (free) regions of a JFFS2 image. JFFS2 is a log-structured flash filesystem: file data lives in variably-sized inode nodes packed back to back, with no fixed cluster/block allocation — there are no cluster tips to wipe. Free space is the erased-flash tail and any padding/clean gaps, which the generic wiper zero-fills. Cluster-tip wiping is therefore N/A here: no file-size lookup is supplied and `wipeClusterTips` is forced off so the per-node log layout is never mistaken for cluster-aligned runs. |
 
-#### `MinixV2InPlaceModifier`
+#### `Jffs2InPlaceModifier`
 
-TRUE in-place R/W modifier for Minix v2 filesystem images. Performs O(touched bytes) random-access mutation against the real mkfs.minix v2 on-disk layout (64-byte inodes, 32-bit zone numbers): only the superblock zone-count field, the relevant inode/zone bitmap bytes, the affected inode slot, the touched directory zone and the file's data zones (plus a single-indirect pointer block when needed) are read or written. Every other byte stays byte-identical. The v2 bitmaps follow the classic mkfs.minix convention: the inode bitmap addresses inode `i` at bit `i` (bit 0 reserved), and the zone bitmap addresses zone `Z` at bit `Z - firstDataZone + 1` (bit 0 reserved). When the image has no free zone, fresh zones are appended at the end of the image (the bitmap and the 32-bit `s_zones` field grow with it) — a genuine in-place grow, not a re-pack.Honest scope: files are stored through the 7 direct zones plus the one single-indirect zone (7 + 256 = 263 data zones ≈ 269 KB). Anything larger, nested-path adds, or a request the bitmap cannot satisfy throws `IOException` so the descriptor can fall back to a full rebuild. Existing double-/triple-indirect content is still freed on Remove.
+True in-place R/W mutation of a JFFS2 image. JFFS2 is log-structured: a "modify" operation appends a fresh node (inode or dirent) at the end of the log with an incremented version number. Old nodes stay byte-identical at their original offsets; the reader resolves an inode or (parent-inode, name) pair to its highest-version node. This modifier preserves all existing bytes — only the tail of the log grows. Garbage collection (compaction of obsolete nodes) is deliberately out of scope here; that belongs to the defragmenter.Honest scope: appended data nodes carry their bytes uncompressed (`compr=0x00 JFFS2_COMPR_NONE`), matching what `Jffs2Writer` emits on Create. Compressed-body emission (LZO / zlib) is out of scope.

-Reads Minix v2 filesystem images (1991). v2 extended the original Minix layout to support large files: 64-byte inodes (replacing v1's 32-byte), 32-bit zone numbers, and a triple-indirect block. The superblock layout is the same as v1 (1024-byte blocks). Magic 0x2468 (14-byte names) or 0x2478 (30-byte names).
+#### `Jffs2Writer`
 
-Implements `IDisposable`.
+Builds a JFFS2 (Journaling Flash File System v2) image from scratch. Produces a valid log-structured image with cleanmarkers, inode nodes, and dirent nodes. Data is stored uncompressed (compr=0x00 NONE). Default erase block size: 128 KiB (common NOR flash). Files whose name contains path separators ('/' or '\') are placed inside a real directory tree: each intermediate path segment becomes its own directory inode plus a dirent in its parent, so nested paths round-trip through the reader instead of being flattened into the root.

-#### `MinixV2Writer`
+### Namespace `FileSystem.Jfs`
 
-Builds minimal but spec-correct Minix v2 filesystem images (1991). v2 keeps the v1 superblock and 1024-byte blocks but widens inodes to 64 bytes, zone numbers to 32 bits, and adds a triple-indirect zone for large files. Directory names are 14 bytes (magic `0x2468`) or 30 bytes (magic `0x2478`). Every path component becomes a real directory inode with its own `"."`/`".."` entries, so a file added as `"a/b/c.txt"` is stored under nested directories `a` and `a/b`. Files larger than the 7 direct zones (7168 bytes) spill into the single-indirect zone (256 further zones), then the double-indirect zone, then the triple-indirect zone.

+Descriptor for IBM JFS1 aggregate images. Reader walks the kernel-fixed AIT (block 11), the indirect fileset AIM → IAG → FSIT path, and the inline dtree root + xtree extents. Writer emits a complete WORM image with FILESYSTEM_I → AIM → IAG → FSIT, dual superblocks, dmap+dmapctl with canonical `ujfs_adjtree` buddy tree, both AIT/AIM copies, and an inline-dtroot root directory with up to 8 user files. Validated clean against real `fsck.jfs -n -f -v`. State: R/W (extended mutation past leaf-only). `JfsMutator` implements: arbitrary path depth add/remove (descend by name through any intermediate directory whose dtree is inline OR external/router);long names via continuation slots chained through the head ldtentry's `next` byte (both insert and remove walk the chain);external dtree leaf-page insert/delete when the directory's dtroot has been promoted to a router (in-place stbl shift + freelist restore, with no split);recursive subdirectory removal — DFS the dtree, free every child file's xtree extents + inode + dmap bits, free the dtree pages themselves, then close out the entry in the parent;multi-dmap allocation — walks both dmap pages the writer reserves before declaring the image full;xtree extent allocate/free with inline xad slots and dmap binary-buddy `ujfs_adjtree` rerun for every modified dmap. Operations that genuinely need multi-week scope still throw `NotSupportedException` with a SPECIFIC message naming what's unsupported: inline dtroot leaf split, external dtree leaf split, xtree root promotion to non-leaf, IAG full / FSIT extent growth.

-| `Add` | `void Add(Stream archive, IReadOnlyList<ArchiveInputInfo> inputs)` | Adds files to the FAT12 filesystem inside an existing MSA image. Each call performs decode → modify FAT → re-encode (see `MsaModifier`); per-track RLE compression makes anything cheaper architecturally impossible. |
-| `Create` | `void Create(Stream output, IReadOnlyList<ArchiveInputInfo> inputs, FormatCreateOptions options)` | Builds an MSA image holding the inputs. An MSA file is a compressed Atari ST floppy, so the files go into a GEMDOS volume first and that volume is what gets encoded. A single input that already is a floppy image — the .st → .msa conversion — is encoded as it stands. Anything else used to be treated the same way, which meant the first input's bytes were read as a disk image and every other input was dropped without a word: three files in, one nonsensical "floppy" out. |

+| `CanAccept` | `bool CanAccept(ArchiveInputInfo input, out string reason)` |  |
+| `CreateFromStreams` | `void CreateFromStreams(Stream output, IEnumerable<StreamingArchiveInput> inputs, FormatCreateOptions options)` | Two-pass streaming creation. JFS carries NO data checksum and stores file bodies in dedicated xtree extents (directories are stored inline in the dinode, so they never reach the streaming path), which makes the format fully streamable: pass 1 builds every metadata structure with the file extents left zero; pass 2 seeks to each file's extent and copies its bytes from `OpenStream` in 64 KiB chunks. The output is byte-identical to `Create` for the same inputs. Falls back to the buffered default on a non-seekable target. |
+| `Create` | `void Create(Stream output, IReadOnlyList<ArchiveInputInfo> inputs, FormatCreateOptions options)` |  |
 | `Defragment` | `void Defragment(Stream archive)` |  |
-| `Defragment` | `void Defragment(Stream archive, DefragOptions options)` | Defragments the inner FAT12 filesystem inside an MSA image. The image is decoded to a flat disk, the FAT layer is defragmented via rebuild (read all files, rebuild with FatWriter which always start-packs), and the result is re-encoded to MSA tracks preserving the original geometry. |
-| `EnumerateExtents` | `IEnumerable<DefragBlockInfo> EnumerateExtents(Stream image)` | Decodes the MSA tracks to a flat FAT12 image and delegates to `Enumerate` for the actual cluster-chain walk. The returned offsets are relative to the inner flat image (not the MSA container) — this matches what the defrag window expects for filesystem extent maps. |
+| `Defragment` | `void Defragment(Stream archive, DefragOptions options)` | Mode-aware JFS1 defragmentor via read-extract-rebuild dispatch through `DefragRebuilder`. The writer always emits a fresh contiguous-from-start single-aggregate image with FILESYSTEM_I → AIM → IAG → FSIT, dual superblocks, dmap+dmapctl, and an inline-dtroot. |

 | `Extract` | `void Extract(Stream stream, string outputDir, string password, string[] files)` |  |
-| `List` | `List<ArchiveEntryInfo> List(Stream stream, string password)` | Lists the files on the floppy the image holds. An MSA file wraps a GEMDOS volume, and this descriptor's Add and Remove already work on that volume's files, so this reads them too — a disc whose filesystem cannot be walked falls back to the raw image as a single entry. |
+| `List` | `List<ArchiveEntryInfo> List(Stream stream, string password)` |  |
 | `OpenEntry` | `Stream OpenEntry(Stream archive, string entryName, string password)` | Opens a single filesystem entry as a bounded read-only stream. The reader produces the decoded file bytes by walking the entry's extent or block chain; the matched bytes are wrapped in a `BoundedEntryStream` sized to the entry's logical length so cluster/extent slack past the entry's end is physically unreachable through this view. |
-| `Remove` | `void Remove(Stream archive, string[] entryNames)` | Removes files from the FAT12 filesystem inside an existing MSA image. Inner-layer wipe is delegated to `FatRemover` (zeros cluster bytes + cluster-tip slack + dirent + FAT entries), then the modified flat image is re-encoded to MSA tracks. |
-| `WipeUnusedSpace` | `long WipeUnusedSpace(Stream image, bool wipeClusterTips = true, bool wipeDeletedEntries = true)` | Zeros all unused space in the filesystem inside an MSA image. MSA is an outer RLE-compressed container whose track bytes hold no in-place free space — the extent map's offsets are relative to the decoded flat image, not the container — so wiping is performed the only honest way: decode the tracks to the flat image, run the wiper of whichever descriptor reads that volume (free clusters + cluster tips) on it, then re-encode preserving the original geometry. |

-#### `MsaModifier`
-
-Modifier for Atari ST MSA (Magic Shadow Archiver) disk images. MSA is a two-level container: an outer RLE-compressed track wrapper around an inner FAT12 filesystem image (track-aligned dump of a standard ST floppy). Because each track is RLE-compressed independently, true byte-level in-place modification is impossible — any change to the inner FAT image shifts the compressed lengths of one or more tracks and therefore the entire rest of the file. The honest path is decode → modify FAT → re-encode, which is what this class does:Read MSA header, decompress all tracks into a flat FAT12 image (size = (end-start+1) × sides × SPT × 512 bytes).Apply the FAT modifier op (`FatRemover` for remove, `FatReader` + `FatWriter` rebuild for add) on the flat image, preserving total-sectors.Re-encode the flat image back to MSA tracks via `Write`, preserving the original geometry (SPT, sides, start/end track) so subsequent round-trips remain stable.Operates on the entire image — there is no streaming sector access because the RLE codec is per-track and forces a full track decode anyway. For a 1.44 MB ST floppy that's ~1.4 MB of memory traffic per call, which is fine for the use case (interactive disk editing, test harnesses).

The image is fully decoded, the FAT layer is rebuilt with the existing entries plus the new one (matching `FatFormatDescriptor.Add`'s strategy — FatWriter is build-from-scratch by design), and the result is re-compressed track by track with the original MSA geometry. |
-| `RemoveFile` | `static bool RemoveFile(Stream image, string name, bool wipeData = true)` | Removes the named file from the FAT12 filesystem inside an MSA image.

All integer fields are little-endian. `pxd_t` is packed as `len_addr = (len & 0xFFFFFF) | ((addr >> 32) << 24)`, `addr2 = addr & 0xFFFFFFFF`. Dtree slot names are UCS-2 (UTF-16 LE). Round-trips through `JfsReader`. Aggregate inode table (block 11..14, IXSIZE=16 KB) holds the AGGR_RESERVED_I (0), AGGREGATE_I (1, → AIM), BMAP_I (2, → block-allocation map), LOG_I (3), BADBLOCK_I (4) and FILESYSTEM_I (16, → fileset AIM) metadata inodes. The fileset inode table at blocks 29..32 holds FILESET_RSVD_I (0), FILESET_EXT_I (1), ROOT_I (2, dtroot inline), ACL_I (3) and user file inodes (4+).

-#### `Nilfs2FormatDescriptor`
+#### `Jfs1FormatDescriptor`
 
-NILFS2 descriptor (continuous-snapshot log-structured filesystem, Linux mainline since 2.6.30). Magic 0x3434 sits at superblock+6 (file offset 1030). R/W scope. Create emits a spec-compliant superblock plus a writer-private compact directory at offset 2048 (the base checkpoint at cno=1). Add / Replace / Remove append a fresh log segment (an appended-segment magic header + cno + dirents + payload) at the tail of the volume and bump `s_last_cno` in the superblock — the only in-place edit, sanctioned by the NILFS2 spec for advancing the checkpoint pointer. Every byte of every prior segment stays byte-identical at its original offset, so the older state is byte-recoverable as a snapshot (continuous-snapshot semantic).Kernel-mountable. Create emits the full single-checkpoint log the Linux `nilfs2` driver needs to mount: a super root with the DAT / cpfile / sufile inodes (+ their CRC), a segment summary with the spec ss_sumsum / ss_datasum checksums, an ifile holding the root directory inode, a DAT (Disk Address Translation) table, and a flat root directory carrying the files. A real `mount -t nilfs2` mounts the image, lists the directory, and reads the files back (verified via the libguestfs appliance kernel). Subdirectories and files larger than a direct block map stay in the writer-private directory for the reader but are not materialised in the mountable tree; snapshots / multi-checkpoint chains remain out of scope.

-#### `Nilfs2InPlaceModifier`
+#### `Jfs1InPlaceModifier`
 
-True in-place modifier for NILFS2 images emitted by `Nilfs2Writer`. Implements the spec semantic of NILFS2's continuous-snapshot log-structured layout: every mutation appends a fresh "logical segment" at the tail of the volume, leaving every byte in the prior image byte-identical at its original offset — except for the 8-byte `s_last_cno` field of the superblock, which is the only in-place edit the spec sanctions. Old segments stay recoverable as snapshots.
+TRUE in-place R/W modifier for the OS/2 JFS1 images this project emits. Performs O(touched bytes) random-access mutation: only the affected dinode slot, the root directory block, the file's single data extent and (when the image must grow) the superblock `s_size` field are read or written. Every other byte stays byte-identical. The on-disk model is the one written by `Jfs1Writer`: block 0 superblock, blocks 1..inodeBlocks the 256-byte dinode array (inode `N` at array index `N - 2`), then per-file single contiguous data extents. There is no free-block bitmap, so fresh extents are appended at the current end of the image — a genuine in-place grow, not a re-pack; removed extents simply become unreferenced holes a later defrag reclaims.Honest scope: files are stored as one contiguous extent in the root directory. Nested-path adds and inode-table exhaustion throw `IOException` so the descriptor can fall back to a full rebuild.

The writer covers: superblock with configurable block + aggregate-block size, inode array (256-byte dinodes), single-block directory bodies with (inode + nlen + name) dirents, single-extent file bodies. The dmap/IAG bitmap chain, secondary AIT/AIM trees, dtree B+ index pages, and the inline data extents larger than one block are out of WORM scope.

-Read-only descriptor for NSS (Novell Storage Services) — the pool-based, object-aware filesystem that replaced NWFS386 from NetWare 5+ onwards and remains the default for Novell / OpenText Open Enterprise Server. **HONEST DISCLAIMER**: NSS's on-disk format was never publicly documented by Novell. This descriptor identifies NSS-shaped images by scanning for Novell's embedded ASCII anchors ("NSS Pool", "NSSVolume", "SuperBlk", "Novell", "NetWare") in the first 1 MB of the partition. We can locate the pool descriptor and volume / superblock anchors and surface their byte offsets, but we **cannot** walk the object tree or reconstruct files — the layout (block allocation, "Beast" object records, trustee ACL trees) is proprietary. Magic: `"NSS Pool"` — 8 ASCII bytes detected within the first 1 MB via free-form scan. Confidence 0.70 — distinctive enough to seed a match but lower than well-specified filesystems because (a) the layout is RE'd, not vendor-published; (b) the magic is a brand string that can theoretically appear in non-NSS contexts; (c) we cannot validate the surrounding structure.

+Stage 0 detection-only descriptor for JuiceFS artefacts. JuiceFS has no standalone on-disk image format: a volume is the combination of an external metadata engine (Redis / MySQL / TiKV / SQLite / PostgreSQL / etcd / FoundationDB / BadgerDB) plus chunks living in an S3-compatible object store. None of these surfaces are resolvable from a single local file, so R/O extraction is genuinely impossible without those external endpoints; staying Stage 0 is the honest treatment. Surfaces only a synthetic `metadata.ini` and the raw image bytes; no real file-walk is attempted.

+Stage 0 detection-only reader for JuiceFS artefacts. JuiceFS is a POSIX-compatible distributed FS with NO standalone on-disk image format: a volume is the combination of an external metadata engine (Redis / MySQL / TiKV / SQLite / PostgreSQL / etcd / FoundationDB / BadgerDB) and chunks living in S3-compatible object storage (S3 / GCS / MinIO / OSS / OBS / …). Real artefacts in the wild: `juicefs dump` JSON: a plain JSON document starting with `{"Setting":{`; no offset-0 magic.`juicefs dump --binary` (v1.3+): protobuf segments, ends with a 4-byte big-endian BakEOS marker `0x00747083` followed by a protobuf `pb.Footer` and an 8-byte big-endian footer-length trailer (juicedata/juicefs `pkg/meta/backup.go`, `BakMagic = 0x747083`).SQLite metadata backend: a standard SQLite database (`"SQLite format 3\0"`) containing `jfs_node`, `jfs_edge`, `jfs_chunk`, `jfs_setting` tables. Filesystem listing without object-store access would still extract zero bytes for every file. This reader recognises a wrapper-convention tag (ASCII `"JuiceFS"` at offset 0) for surfacing detection only — real JuiceFS files do NOT carry that tag. Even if they did, R/O extraction would still be impossible because (a) inode → chunk-id resolution lives in the metadata engine and (b) chunk bytes live behind an object-store endpoint. Returning empty / zero bytes from `Extract()` would be dishonest; instead we surface the raw image and a self-describing `metadata.ini` that explains why real extraction is structurally impossible.

-#### `NtfsBlockMover`
+#### `LifBlockMover`
 
-In-place NTFS block mover. Moves cluster-aligned extents within an NTFS image and patches the MFT data runs, Update Sequence Array fixup, and cluster bitmap ($Bitmap, MFT record 6) so the file remains reachable at its new location. Handles the common case where a file's data runs cover the moved cluster range. If re-encoding the patched data runs changes byte length and the MFT record lacks sufficient slack space, throws `NotSupportedException` to let the rebuild fallback handle it. Streaming: the mover never loads the whole image. `Init` reads only the boot sector and MFT record 0; all metadata updates are targeted reads/writes via `SectorCache` + `Flush` barriers so a crash mid-operation leaves the image fsck-recoverable, and a multi-TB NTFS volume needs only ~256 MB of cache RAM regardless of size.
+In-place HP LIF block mover. Moves sector-aligned extents within a LIF image and patches the directory entry's start-sector field so the file remains reachable at its new location. LIF files are stored contiguously. Each 32-byte directory entry records the name (10 bytes), file type (u16 BE at +10), start sector (u32 BE at +12), and sector count (u32 BE at +16). Updating the start-sector field is sufficient to redirect the file.

-Walks an NTFS image and yields its actual on-disk byte layout — the boot sector, the $MFT itself (record 0's $DATA runs), the 16 reserved system files (records 0-15), and every regular file's $DATA attribute data runs. Each non-resident $DATA's run-list is decoded; resident $DATA bytes surface as a single MetadataReserved tile inside the MFT record. The 16 reserved system records (e.g. $MFTMirr, $LogFile, $Bitmap, $Boot, $UpCase) are flagged as MetadataReserved. Streaming: reads only the boot sector + MFT records on demand via a `SectorCache`. A 50 TB NTFS image with a large $MFT keeps memory bounded to ~256 MB regardless of image size.
+Walks an HP LIF (Logical Interchange Format) volume and yields the actual on-disk byte layout — the volume label sector + the directory sectors as `MetadataReserved`, every per-file contiguous 256-byte sector run as a `Used` extent, and unused sectors as `Free`.

+| `EnumerateExtents` | `IEnumerable<DefragBlockInfo> EnumerateExtents(Stream image)` | Walks the LIF directory and yields the actual on-disk byte layout — the volume label + directory sectors as `MetadataReserved`, every per-file contiguous 256-byte sector run as a `Used` extent, and unused sectors as `Free`. |

-| `Shrink` | `void Shrink(Stream input, Stream output)` | Genuine in-place NTFS shrink: relocates only the clusters above the auto-fit boundary into free space below it via `NtfsInPlaceShrinker`, trims $Bitmap/$Boot, and emits the smaller image. Falls back to the `IArchiveShrinkable` default (verified rebuild / copy-through) when the in-place path cannot handle the image (e.g. a compressed stream would need relocation). |
+| `Remove` | `void Remove(Stream archive, string[] entryNames)` | Removes the named entries from an existing LIF image. Uses `LifModifier` for O(touched bytes) random-access I/O. |

+| `WipeUnusedSpace` | `long WipeUnusedSpace(Stream image, bool wipeClusterTips = true, bool wipeDeletedEntries = true)` | Zeros the unused (free) sectors of a LIF volume. LIF stores each file as a contiguous run of 256-byte sectors, but the directory entry records the file length only in whole sectors — there is no byte-precise logical size on disk, so a file exactly fills its allocated sectors and there is no recoverable cluster tip. Cluster-tip wiping is therefore N/A: no file-size lookup is supplied and `wipeClusterTips` is forced off so a sector-rounded run is never trimmed below its real on-disk extent. |
 
-#### `NtfsInPlaceAdder`
+#### `LifModifier`
 
-Genuine in-place add for NTFS images — the inverse of `NtfsRemover`. Inserts a small file into the root directory by editing only the structures the change touches: it claims a free MFT record slot (from the MFT's cluster-rounding slack), writes a spec-shaped FILE record (header + USA fixup + $STANDARD_INFORMATION + $FILE_NAME + resident or non-resident $DATA), sets the record's bit in `$MFT:$BITMAP`, allocates any data clusters from `$Bitmap`, and inserts a collation-sorted index entry into the root directory's resident `$INDEX_ROOT`. Existing files, their MFT records and their data clusters stay byte-identical at their original offsets — no whole-image re-pack. The in-place path also handles the structural growth cases: it grows the MFT (allocating a cluster, extending `$MFT:$DATA`'s run list — the reader follows the VCN→LCN mapping — widening `$MFT:$BITMAP` and re-syncing `$MFTMirr`) when no record slot is free; it spills a directory index that outgrows the resident `$INDEX_ROOT` into a pointer-form root + non-resident `$INDEX_ALLOCATION` (a single INDX leaf, USA-fixed) + `$BITMAP`, growing the INDX block size as the directory grows; and it creates intermediate sub-directory FILE records for nested targets (`a/b/c.txt`), linking them through their parents' `$I30` indexes. It still throws (so the caller can rebuild) when an allocation cannot be satisfied — no free data clusters, no contiguous index-allocation run, or a record/attribute that will not fit.
+Random-access in-place modifier for HP LIF (Logical Interchange Format) volumes. The on-disk layout is a flat directory of fixed 32-byte entries followed by contiguous file data; LIF has no allocation bitmap, so free space is recovered by scanning the existing directory for live extents. Files land in the lowest contiguous sector gap above the directory area that fits, mirroring the BBC DFS modifier strategy. Only the directory sectors and the file's own data run are touched on each call.

-| `AddFile` | `static void AddFile(byte[] image, string name, byte[] data)` | Adds (or replaces by name) `name` into the root directory of the in-memory NTFS image. Throws `NotSupportedException` / `IOException` for the structural cases above so the caller can rebuild instead. |
-| `MftRecordByteOffset` | `static long MftRecordByteOffset(byte[] image, int slot)` | Public façade over the run-list-aware MFT record mapping for callers that scan the MFT (e.g. `NtfsRemover`). Returns the physical byte offset of record `slot`, following $MFT:$DATA's VCN→LCN run list so a grown, non-contiguous MFT (common on real mkfs.ntfs images after several adds) is read correctly. Returns -1 when the slot is past the MFT's mapped clusters. |
-| `MftRecordSlotCount` | `static int MftRecordSlotCount(byte[] image)` | Number of record slots the MFT's $DATA currently spans (allocated bytes / record size). Lets a scanner bound its loop to the MFT's real extent rather than the whole image. |
-| `RemoveIndexEntry` | `static bool RemoveIndexEntry(byte[] image, uint dirRecord, uint recordNum)` | Removes the index entry referencing `recordNum` from `dirRecord`'s $I30 directory index, then rewrites the index in the smallest representation that fits (resident $INDEX_ROOT, or — if it still does not fit — a single spilled INDX leaf). The whole directory record is rebuilt and re-USA-fixed, so it stays consistent for real mkfs.ntfs / Windows directories whose records use a different update-sequence-array layout than our writer. This is the structural inverse of `InsertIndexEntry` and is invoked by `NtfsRemover`. Returns `true` if an entry was removed. |
+| `AddFile` | `static void AddFile(Stream image, string name, byte[] data, ushort fileType = 57376)` | Adds a file to an existing LIF image. Caller is responsible for ensuring the name does not already exist (use `RemoveFile` first for replace-by-name semantics). The file is placed in the lowest contiguous gap large enough to hold it; the underlying stream is grown if necessary. |
+| `RemoveFile` | `static bool RemoveFile(Stream image, string name, bool wipeData = true)` | Removes a named file from the image. Returns true if found and removed. When `wipeData` is true (the default) the file data sectors are zeroed before the directory is rewritten. |

-Genuine in-place NTFS volume shrink. Reduces the volume to a smaller cluster count by relocating only the clusters that sit at or above the new boundary into free clusters below it, patching the owning attribute's data runs and the $Bitmap, then trimming the image. Work is `O(clusters relocated + metadata touched)` — clusters that already live below the boundary are never read or rewritten, so the bytes below the boundary stay byte-identical. AlgorithmParse the boot sector. The image spans `(NumberSectors+1)/spc` total volume clusters; the final cluster is reserved for the backup boot sector (its last sector is the one `NumberSectors` excludes), so file data lives in clusters `0..volumeClusters-2`.Pick a target volume-cluster count. The data boundary is `target-1` (the new last cluster stays reserved). Refuse (throw `NotSupportedException`) if the in-use clusters cannot fit below the boundary, or if a cluster at or above it belongs to a compressed/sparse $DATA stream this shrinker cannot relocate.Walk every MFT record's non-resident $DATA / $INDEX_ALLOCATION runs. For every run that crosses the boundary, claim a contiguous free region below it (falling back to per-cluster), copy the cluster bytes, rewrite the run list to the new LCNs, and flip the old/new $Bitmap bits. The attribute is grown in place (shifting the record tail) when the relocated run list needs more bytes. $MFT, $MFTMirr, $LogFile, $Bitmap and the directory indices are handled by the same record walk (records 0..15 included).Reshape $Bitmap to the new size (reserve the new backup cluster, pad the final bitmap byte), rewrite $Boot's `NumberSectors`, copy the boot sector to the new last sector (the relocated backup boot), re-sync $MFTMirr, and truncate the image to `target * clusterSize`.Supported shrink shapes (in place, no re-pack): any target where the highest in-use cluster can be relocated into free space below the boundary and every relocated attribute is a plain (uncompressed, non-sparse) non-resident stream. Refused (`NotSupportedException`): a target below the in-use cluster count, or one that would require relocating a compressed/sparse stream (those keep their on-disk LCNs and are left to the rebuild fallback).

-#### `NtfsRemover`
+#### `LifWriter`
 
-Secure-remove implementation for NTFS images. Finds the named file in the MFT (records 16+), zeros every cluster referenced by its $DATA attribute (including resident-value bytes for small files), clears the corresponding index entry in the root directory's $INDEX_ROOT, and zeros the entire 1024-byte MFT record. After the operation no bytes of the original filename or content remain recoverable from the image. Root-directory-only for now; nested-directory removal is a follow-up. The reader skips records whose "FILE" signature is missing, so zeroing the whole record is sufficient to hide the file from enumeration and extraction.
+Writer for HP LIF volumes — flat-directory layout with the directory at sector 2 (the conventional LIF starting location). Files are stored contiguously starting after the directory; the writer enforces an upper bound of 14 files unless a caller increases the directory size.

+### Namespace `FileSystem.LittleFs`
 
-Builds spec-compliant NTFS filesystem images. All reserved system MFT records (0-15) are populated with real content: $MFT, $MFTMirr, $LogFile, $Volume, $AttrDef, root $., $Bitmap, $Boot, $BadClus, $Secure, $UpCase, and $Extend. Every record carries the mandatory $STANDARD_INFORMATION and $FILE_NAME attributes, the Update Sequence Array (USA) fixup is applied at sector boundaries, and the on-disk cluster bitmap reflects which clusters are actually allocated. Small files (<700 bytes) use a resident $DATA attribute; larger files use non-resident cluster runs. Images produced by this writer carry all the structure that chkdsk and the Linux ntfs-3g driver check at mount time: volume serial, valid boot signature, every system file has its "FILE" magic, USA fixup at `record[510..512]` and `record[1022..1024]`, $Volume carries a valid $VOLUME_INFORMATION (version 3.1), the $UpCase data stream is 128 KiB long (65 536 UTF-16 upper-case mappings) and $Bitmap only marks clusters that hold actual filesystem metadata/data. Large directories: when a directory's $I30 file-name index no longer fits in the resident $INDEX_ROOT inside its MFT record, it spills into a non-resident $INDEX_ALLOCATION (a stream of "INDX" index records, each with its own USA fixup) tracked by a named $BITMAP. The $INDEX_ROOT then holds routing pointer entries (subnode VCN flag 0x01 + 8-byte child VCN at the entry tail) into those INDX leaves, and the FILE_NAME entries live in the leaves sorted by NTFS file-name collation. A single B+tree level is built: the resident root points directly at leaf blocks. To keep all routing pointers resident, the INDX block size is grown (power-of-two, 4 KiB..64 KiB) as the entry count rises. With the default 1024-byte MFT record this handles tens of thousands of short-named entries per directory; only a directory whose routing pointers would overflow even a 64 KiB block (hundreds of thousands of entries) would need a second tree level, which is not yet implemented. 8.3 short names: by default every $FILE_NAME is recorded in the Win32&DOS namespace (3) so the long name also serves as the 8.3 short name, the way a freshly formatted Windows volume does. Passing `generateShortNames: false` records names in the Win32-only namespace (1) and emits no DOS short name — the equivalent of `fsutil behavior set disable8dot3`.

-| `DeclaredVolumeBytes` | `long DeclaredVolumeBytes { get; }` | Declared volume size in bytes of the most recent build. |
-| `AddFile` | `void AddFile(string name, byte[] data)` | Adds a file to the NTFS image. |
-| `AddStreamingFile` | `void AddStreamingFile(string name, long size, Func<Stream> openStream)` | Adds a streaming file: `size` drives MFT-record + cluster sizing in pass 1; bytes are pulled from `openStream` in pass 2 of `BuildToStreaming`. Files larger than the resident threshold (~700 bytes) get a single-run non-resident $DATA whose clusters are filled from the source via 64 KB chunks; smaller files remain resident and are buffered up-front (the size-clamped bounded read still satisfies the isolation contract). |
-| `BuildAutoSized` | `byte[] BuildAutoSized(int requestedClusterSize = 0, int requestedMftRecordSize = 0)` | Builds the image with the cluster size and MFT record size chosen by `FilesystemLayoutOptimizer` to minimise file slack + MFT-zone reservation + per-file MFT-record waste, and the volume sized to exactly hold the files plus structural overhead. |
-| `BuildToStreamingAutoSized` | `void BuildToStreamingAutoSized(Stream output)` | Two-pass streaming Build with auto-sized geometry. |
-| `BuildToStreaming` | `void BuildToStreaming(Stream output, long totalSize)` | Two-pass streaming Build: pass 1 derives MFT-record + cluster geometry from the declared sizes of `AddStreamingFile` entries; pass 2 emits all reserved system MFT records (0..15) + the per-user MFT records (with $DATA attributes pointing at single-run non-resident allocations for files > ResidentThreshold), then streams each non-resident entry's bytes from its factory into its allocated cluster run via 64 KB chunks. Cluster tail past each entry's exact `Size` stays sparse-zero (the in-memory disk byte[] was zero-initialised and the per-entry stream copy never reads past the entry's logical size). |
-| `BuildToStreaming` | `void BuildToStreaming(Stream output, long totalSize, int clusterSizeBytes, int mftRecordSize)` |  |
-| `BuildTo` | `void BuildTo(Stream output, long totalSize, int clusterSize = 4096, int mftRecordSize = 1024)` | Writes the volume to `output`: the populated prefix, then the declared length, then the two regions that live past the prefix. Free space costs nothing, so volumes far beyond the in-memory limit are producible. |
-| `Build` | `byte[] Build(int totalSize = 4194304)` | Builds the NTFS filesystem image with the default geometry (4 MiB volume, 4 KiB clusters, 1024-byte MFT records). Kept as a parameterless-default overload so existing callers/tests remain byte-compatible. |
-| `Build` | `byte[] Build(int totalSize, int clusterSize, int mftRecordSize)` | Builds the NTFS filesystem image with a tunable cluster size and MFT record size. |
-| `PlanAutoSize` | `ValueTuple<long, int, int> PlanAutoSize(int requestedClusterSize = 0, int requestedMftRecordSize = 0)` | Volume size, cluster size and MFT-record size an auto-sized build would use for the files added. The size is a long: clamping it to int for `Build` is exactly what capped an auto-sized volume at 2 GB, and the streaming path needs no such clamp. |
-| `SetCompression` | `void SetCompression(bool enabled)` | Enables or disables NTFS LZNT1 compression of file `$DATA` for this build. When enabled every non-resident file is stored as a compressed attribute (16-cluster compression units, the `0x0001` compressed flag, sparse runs for saved clusters). Resident files (≤ ~700 bytes) are left uncompressed, mirroring real NTFS which never compresses resident data. Default is off; call before any `Build` overload. |
-| `SetNtfsMinorVersion` | `void SetNtfsMinorVersion(byte minorVersion)` | Sets the NTFS minor version stamped into `$VOLUME_INFORMATION` (the major version is always 3). Accepts 0 (NTFS 3.0, Windows 2000) or 1 (NTFS 3.1, Windows XP and later — the default). |

-Read-only descriptor for NWFS386 (Novell NetWare 386 / "Traditional NetWare File System") — used in NetWare 2.x/3.x/4.x and as the SYS: filesystem in 5.x/6.x. NSS (Novell Storage Services) replaced it for new volumes from 1998 but NWFS images still surface in archaeology / migration workflows. **PROVENANCE**: Novell never released the on-disk format. What is read and written here follows the public reverse-engineering of it (notably the zhmu/nwfs project, whose documentation and reader were both checked against). Volumes written by `NwfsWriter` are read back by that project's own `transfer` tool — directory tree, sizes and file bytes all agreeing — so contents are no longer merely detected. Still out of scope: suballocation, Turbo FAT, compression, mirrored partitions, volumes spanning several partitions, and the salvage area. A volume using any of those reads only as far as its plain structures go. Magic: `HOTFIX00` — 8 ASCII bytes at byte offset `0x4000` (16384, = sector 32 at 512 B sectors). Confidence 0.85: 8 bytes of ASCII at a fixed offset is high-signal, but because the layout is RE-derived we keep a small margin below the 0.9-0.95 used for spec-stable filesystems. "MIRROR00" and "NetWare Volumes" are detected as corroboration but not used for primary signature matching.

Its on-disk format was never publicly documented by Novell; everything we know comes from reverse-engineering. Read-only — we cannot validate contents without an authoritative spec. Detected signatures (per the zhmu/nwfs reverse-engineering project): `"HOTFIX00"` — 8 ASCII bytes at byte offset `0x4000` (16384) within the partition (sector 32 with 512 B sectors). Marks the start of the Hot Fix area.`"MIRROR00"` — 8 ASCII bytes adjacent to HOTFIX. Marks the Mirror header.`"NetWare Volumes"` — 16 ASCII bytes (NUL-padded) in the volume area following the redirection sectors. Marks the Volume area. References: `https://github.com/zhmu/nwfs` — primary RE source for NWFS286/NWFS386`https://github.com/jeffmerkey/netware-file-system` — secondary reference (former Novell engineers' release)NWFS386 partitions: HOTFIX_OFFSET = 0x4000, sector 32 (assumes 512 B sectors)
+Genuine in-place modifier for littlefs v2 images emitted by `LittleFsWriter`. littlefs is inherently append/copy-on-write within its erase blocks: each metadata pair ping-pongs between its two blocks (the half with the higher revision count wins), and file data lives in CTZ skip-list blocks addressed by block index. This modifier exploits exactly that: The root metadata pair stays at blocks 0,1. A mutation rewrites only the inactive half (the one with the lower revision) with a fresh commit at `revision+1` carrying the updated directory — the active half stays byte-identical, exactly the metadata-pair ping-pong the reference driver performs.New subdirectory metadata pairs and new CTZ file data are written into blocks appended past the current block count; existing data blocks are never overwritten or relocated, so they stay byte-identical at their offsets.In-place invariant. Add / Replace / Remove preserve the active root half plus every existing CTZ/subdir block byte-identical at its offset, and grow the image by only the blocks the new tree needs (O(bytes changed) for the common flat-file case). The superblock's `block_count` is updated in the rewritten root commit (it is covered by the commit CRC, so it is re-emitted, not patched).Verification. littlefs has no Linux fsck; correctness is proven by the reader round-trip plus the byte-identity offset proof.

+R/O descriptor for Lustre MDT/OST images via ldiskfs (ext4-compatible) reader delegation. Surfaces the ldiskfs view of a single MDT or OST backing store — NOT the Lustre logical view (which would require combining MDT inode metadata with file data striped across multiple OSTs, out of scope without live cluster metadata). Detection is extension-routed (.lustre / .ost / .mdt) and the legacy "LUSTRE" / "LUst" object-header magic at offset 0; ext4 superblock magic is deliberately NOT registered here (it would steal detection from generic ext4 images). When opened with an ldiskfs MDT/OST image (recognised by the .ost / .mdt / .lustre extension), `LustreReader` delegates the file walk to `FileSystem.Ext.ExtReader`.

+R/O reader for Lustre MDT/OST images via ldiskfs (ext4-compatible) delegation. Lustre is a high-performance distributed parallel filesystem (originally from CMU, now under OpenSFS). Files are striped across many OST (Object Storage Target) servers and the MDS (MetaData Server) holds the namespace. Lustre's on-disk format for MDT/OST backing stores is `ldiskfs`, a fork of ext4 with Lustre-specific extended attributes (LMA, LOV EA striping, FID pointers) and a few feature flags. The block-level format — superblock, group descriptors, inode table, extent trees, directory blocks — is byte-compatible with ext4 for read purposes. We delegate to `ExtReader` for the file walk and surface the ldiskfs view (the raw inode/directory tree of one MDT or OST), not the Lustre logical view (which requires combining MDT inode metadata with object data striped across multiple OSTs — out-of-scope without live cluster metadata). Detection paths: 1. Legacy "LUSTRE" / "LUst" tag at offset 0 — speculative OST object-header dumps; surfaces metadata.ini + the raw object bytes (Stage-0 behaviour preserved for back-compat). 2. ext4 superblock magic 0xEF53 at offset 1080 — real ldiskfs MDT/OST backing-store image. Surfaces metadata.ini + the ldiskfs file walk via `ExtReader`.

+#### `MfsBlockMover`
+
+In-place MFS block mover. Moves allocation-block-aligned extents within an MFS image and patches the directory entry's first-block field so the file remains reachable at its new location. MFS stores files in contiguous allocation blocks. Each directory entry records a first-block field (u16 BE at +26) and a file size (u32 BE at +28). The allocation map is derived implicitly from the union of directory entries, so updating the directory entry's first-block pointer is sufficient to redirect the file to its new location.

+#### `MfsEntry`
 
-R/W descriptor for OCFS2 (Oracle Cluster Filesystem 2). Supports: list, extract, create, true in-place modify (Add/Replace/Remove via `Ocfs2InPlaceModifier`), defragment, extent map. Reading is spec-correct against `fs/ocfs2/ocfs2_fs.h` (see `Ocfs2Reader`): INODE01 dinode signatures, the real `ocfs2_dinode` field offsets, the 8-byte `ocfs2_inline_data` header, and the 16-byte extent-list header. It reads images produced by the reference `mkfs.ocfs2` as well as the toolkit's own writer (verified by an external conformance test that reads a real `mkfs.ocfs2 -M local` volume).Writing produces a single-node (no DLM) image with 4 KB blocks/clusters, inline directory entries, and extent-based file data. The superblock and dinode layout are spec-correct — the reference `debugfs.ocfs2 stats` reads the written superblock at exit 0. The writer does NOT yet emit the full chain-allocator / journal / slot-map / local-alloc system-file suite a mountable volume needs, so `fsck.ocfs2` does not pass on a written image. Create/modify are therefore scoped to structurally-correct construction with self/round-trip readback, not fsck-clean conformance.Modifier scope: root-directory mutations only (subdirectory and extent-backed root directory paths fall back to the rebuild path). DLM/heartbeat lockdown and multi-node cluster semantics are out of scope by design.

-#### `Ocfs2InPlaceModifier`
+#### `MfsModifier`
 
-True in-place R/W modifier for OCFS2 (Oracle Cluster Filesystem 2) images produced by `Ocfs2Writer`. Performs O(touched bytes) random-access I/O against the image: only the global bitmap data block, the root directory dinode (inline dirents), the affected file dinode block, and the file's data blocks are read or written. No whole-image read or rewrite. Layout (matches `Ocfs2Writer`'s single-node geometry): 4 KB blocks = 4 KB clusters; one dinode per block.Superblock dinode at block 2; global bitmap dinode at block 3; bitmap data at block 4 (1 bit per cluster, LSB-first, bit=1 means used).Root directory dinode at block 5 (INODE01) with inline dirents in id2 after the 8-byte ocfs2_inline_data header (id2 + 8), each entry `inode(8) | rec_len(2) | name_len(1) | file_type(1) | name[]`.User files start at block 8: each gets one dinode block, plus contiguous data clusters whose run is held in a single extent record.Scope (MVP, single-node only): root-directory mutations only. Sub-directory mutation, DLM/heartbeat lockdown, multi-node cluster semantics, and root-directory B-tree splits (extent-backed root) are out of scope and throw `NotSupportedException` if encountered.
+In-place modifier for MFS (Macintosh File System) disk images. Performs add / remove on an existing image with strict O(touched bytes) I/O — only reads the volume info block (sector 2), the file directory area (sectors 3 through `drAlBlSt - 1`), and the affected file's allocation blocks. Never reads or writes the entire image. The companion `MfsWriter` rebuilds an image from scratch; this class is for the "I have an existing image, mutate it" path that `IArchiveModifiable` exposes.Layout reminders for the simplified MFS variant produced by `MfsWriter` and consumed by `MfsReader`: Sectors 0-1: boot blocks (1024 bytes total).Sector 2 (offset 1024): MDB / volume info block — magic 0xD2D7 BE, `drNmAlBlks` at +18 (u16 BE), `drAlBlkSiz` at +20 (u32 BE), `drAlBlSt` (first allocation-block sector) at +28 (u16 BE), volume name pstring at +36.File directory: starts at offset 1024+128 (= 1152, mid sector 2) and runs up to `drAlBlSt * 512`.Each directory entry is variable length: +0: flags byte (0x80 = in use, 0 = end-of-directory marker).+1: version byte.+26: first allocation block (u16 BE, 0-based within data area).+28: logical EOF / data size in bytes (u32 BE).+38: name length byte.+39..: ASCII name, padded so total entry length is even.Allocation blocks (`drAlBlkSiz` bytes each, typically 1024) start at `drAlBlSt * 512` and are stored contiguously per file. Block IDs are 0-based within the data area in this implementation.Real-MFS-on-disk would also have a 12-bit packed block map between the MDB and the directory; the simplified writer omits it. The modifier therefore derives allocation status by walking the existing directory entries (each entry covers blocks `FirstBlock`..`FirstBlock + ⌈Size / drAlBlkSiz⌉ - 1`), which matches what the round-trip reader/writer already do. This keeps the on-disk format compatible with the round-trip path.

-| `AddFile` | `static void AddFile(Stream image, string name, byte[] data)` | Adds a regular file to the OCFS2 image's root directory. Performs random-access I/O only: bitmap data block, root dinode, new file dinode block, and the new data blocks are written. Throws `IOException` if an entry with the same name already exists (use `ReplaceFile` or call `RemoveFile` first). |
-| `RemoveFile` | `static bool RemoveFile(Stream image, string name, bool wipeData = true)` | Removes a regular file from the OCFS2 image's root directory. Frees its dinode block + data clusters via the global bitmap, zeros their contents, and splices the dirent out of the root directory's inline area. Returns false if the named entry does not exist in the root directory. |
-| `ReplaceFile` | `static bool ReplaceFile(Stream image, string name, byte[] newData)` | Replaces a file's contents in place when the new data fits inside the originally allocated cluster run. Returns false if the named file doesn't exist; throws if the new size requires more clusters than were originally allocated (callers should fall back to `RemoveFile` + `AddFile`). |
+| `AddFile` | `static void AddFile(Stream image, string name, byte[] data)` | Adds a file to the existing MFS image. Performs in-place modification: derives the allocation map from existing directory entries, allocates a contiguous run of free blocks, writes the file data, and writes a new directory entry into the first free slot. Bytes touched: 1 MDB sector + the directory sectors that get walked + the file's data blocks + the dir sector(s) containing the new entry. |
+| `RemoveFile` | `static bool RemoveFile(Stream image, string name, bool wipeData = true)` | Removes the named file from the existing MFS image. Walks the directory to locate the entry, optionally wipes the file's allocation blocks, and clears the directory entry's flags byte (and shifts later entries in the same sector left to keep the directory chain contiguous, since MFS uses a 0-flags byte as end-of-directory marker). Returns true if the file was found and removed, false otherwise. Bytes touched: 1 MDB sector + the directory sectors walked + the removed file's data blocks (if wiping) + dir sector containing the entry. |
 
-#### `Ocfs2Superblock`

-Parses the OCFS2 (Oracle Cluster Filesystem 2) superblock. The superblock is stored as the `id2.i_super` sub-structure of an `ocfs2_dinode` at `OCFS2_SUPER_BLOCK_BLKNO = 2`. With a 4 KB block size (the mkfs.ocfs2 default and far the most common), that block starts at byte offset `0x2000` (8192). The dinode's `i_signature[8]` at offset 0 holds the ASCII string `OCFSV2` (NUL-padded to 8). The superblock fields begin at `id2 = +0xC0` within the dinode block. Read-only. Layout per `fs/ocfs2/ocfs2_fs.h`: Verified by: `https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/fs/ocfs2/ocfs2_fs.h`

-In-memory view of BITMAP.SYS — the Files-11 ODS-2 storage allocation bitmap. One bit per LBN: bit value 0 means free, 1 means allocated. (The on-disk OpenVMS convention is the opposite — 1 = free — but our reader/writer/in-place-modifier agree on the same polarity, and the header-extension marker means real OpenVMS will never see this volume.) The bitmap lives at `BitmapStartLbn` spanning `BitmapBlockCount` LBNs, giving 65 536 bits of coverage for the default 8 192-LBN volume (with headroom). LBNs occupied by metadata (boot block, home block, BITMAP.SYS itself, INDEXF.SYS, root directory) are pre-marked allocated by `MarkMetadataAllocated` at volume-creation time. The in-place modifier's allocator (`AllocateRun`) scans past the metadata reservation to find a contiguous run of free LBNs.

-#### `OpenVmsFileHeader`
+#### `Mfs1InPlaceModifier`
 
-In-memory mirror of a Files-11 File Header (a single 512-byte block inside INDEXF.SYS, anchored at a known LBN). Carries the file's name (ident area, ≤ 20 chars ASCII for ODS-2) and the retrieval pointers (map area) for its data extents. Serialization preserves the on-disk invariants documented at `OpenVmsLayout`: FH header words (IDOFFSET, MPOFFSET, …) at the documented offsets.Ident area at byte 128, 20 bytes of NUL-padded ASCII file name.Map area at byte 256, sequence of (LBN, count) 8-byte tuples, zero-terminated by a (0, 0) sentinel.FH2$W_CHECKSUM at byte 510, additive 16-bit sum of words 0..254.The "in use" predicate is anchored on the structure-level word at +6: a non-zero value means the FH carries a live file. Freeing a File Header (via `ClearInUse`) zeros the structure-level word so a subsequent scan reports it free.The header layout we emit is consistent between writer / reader / in-place modifier but is NOT a complete ODS-2 FH — the user-attribute FILECHAR bits, the RECATTR FAT bundle, and the FH2$L_OWN_UIC field are emitted as zeros. That's why `OpenVmsFormatDescriptor.Description` continues to note that the emitted volume isn't OpenVMS-mountable.
+In-place modifier for Acorn MFS-1 (DFS-tier) disk images. MFS-1's catalog is a flat fixed-offset region — sector 0 (names) + sector 1 (metadata) — that we can shift in place; files live contiguously from sector 2 onwards. On `AddFiles` the existing catalog is parsed via `Mfs1Reader`, the new file is appended at the next free sector, the catalog is re-serialised via `Mfs1Writer`, and the buffer is written back to the underlying stream. The outer image size (sector count) is preserved. On `RemoveFiles` the catalog is re-built without the dropped names. The data area previously occupied by the removed file is zeroed so no forensic trace remains.

-One retrieval pointer — describes a single contiguous data extent.
+Reads Acorn MFS-1 (Master File System v1) disk images. MFS-1 is the minor evolution of Acorn DFS used on early Acorn / BBC Master systems — the on-disk catalog layout matches DFS verbatim: 256-byte sectors, 10 sectors per track.Sector 0 — disk title (first 8 chars) + up to 31 eight-byte name entries: 7-char filename + 1-char directory letter (high bit = locked).Sector 1 — last 4 title chars + entry-count*8 byte at offset 5 + 31 eight-byte metadata entries: load(2), exec(2), length(2), packed-high-bits(1), start-sector-low(1).Packed-high-bits byte 6: bits 0-1 = start-sector high, bits 2-3 = load addr high, bits 4-5 = length high, bits 6-7 = exec addr high. The reader is intentionally forgiving — Acorn images frequently arrive with padding, optional boot sectors, or non-standard sizes. We parse the catalog best-effort; if the count byte or sector range looks invalid we surface no entries (the descriptor then falls back to the opaque FULL/metadata surface).

-Read/write descriptor for OpenVMS Files-11 (ODS-2) volume images. Backed by a clean-room writer / reader / in-place modifier trio that shares the geometry pinned at `OpenVmsLayout`. The descriptor advertises: `CanList` + `CanExtract` — driven by `OpenVmsReader` walking 000000.DIR.`CanCreate` — driven by `OpenVmsWriter`. The fresh volume carries a real ODS-2 home block at LBN 1 plus a workbench-layout layout marker at byte 132 of the home block.`CanModify` — driven by `OpenVmsInPlaceModifier`. Add / Remove / Replace touch only the BITMAP.SYS sector, the file's INDEXF.SYS slot, the directory block, and the affected data LBNs.Honest scope. The emitted volume is not OpenVMS-mountable — the home block's HM2$W_CHECKSUM1/CHECKSUM2 surfaces, the FH FILECHAR and RECATTR bundles, the ODS-2 variable-length directory record format, and the per-file revision-history fields are out of scope. What it IS is a layout the workbench's own writer, reader and in-place modifier can round-trip end-to-end through Add / Remove / Replace.

+Builds Acorn MFS-1 (Master File System v1) disk images. MFS-1 inherits the DFS on-disk catalog: 256-byte sectors, a 2-sector catalog at track 0, up to 31 entries, files stored contiguously from sector 2 onwards. Catalog layout (from `Mfs1Reader`): sector 0, bytes 0..7 — disk title (first 8 chars) sector 0, bytes 8..255 — up to 31 × 8-byte name entries (7 ASCII chars + 1 directory char, high bit = locked) sector 1, bytes 0..3 — disk title (last 4 chars) sector 1, byte 5 — entry count × 8 (i.e. byte offset of the next free slot) sector 1, bytes 8..255 — up to 31 × 8-byte metadata entries: load_lo(2) + exec_lo(2) + length_lo(2) + packed_high_bits(1) + start_sector_lo(1) packed_high_bits bits: 0-1 start_sector_hi, 2-3 load_hi, 4-5 length_hi, 6-7 exec_hi. Files are stored contiguously from sector 2 onwards in catalog-insertion order; the catalog itself is sorted by descending start-sector per DFS convention (the most-recently-added file appears first). Total image size defaults to 80 tracks × 10 sectors × 256 bytes = 200 KB (a Master 80-track SSD image); pass `totalSectors` to `Build` to choose a different geometry.

+
+In-place Minix v3 block mover. Moves zone-aligned extents within a MinixFS image and patches inode zone pointers + zone bitmap so the file remains reachable. Streaming: the image is never loaded whole. Reads go through a `SectorCache`; metadata updates (inode zone pointers, zone bitmap bits) are targeted single-region writes with `Flush` barriers between steps so a crash mid-update leaves the image in an fsck-recoverable state.

+
+Walks a Minix filesystem image (v1/v2/v3) and yields the actual on-disk byte layout: the boot block + superblock + inode/zone bitmaps + inode table as a single `MetadataReserved` run, each directory's zones as `MetadataReserved` (they hold directory entries, not file payload), and each regular file's data zones as `Used` runs. Unclaimed zones are reported as `Free`. This replaces the earlier synthetic layout that fabricated `offset += size` extents — those never matched the real zone offsets, so any consumer that zero-filled the gaps (e.g. the unused-space wiper) would have corrupted live file data, inode tables and bitmaps.For a regular file whose data zones are contiguous, a single Used extent is emitted with the file's name as `FileName` so the wiper can locate the zone tip via a size lookup. A file split across non-contiguous zone runs emits one Used extent per run with a name that is deliberately absent from the size lookup, so tip trimming never misfires on a run that does not start at file offset zero.

-| `Create` | `void Create(Stream output, IReadOnlyList<ArchiveInputInfo> inputs, FormatCreateOptions options)` | Builds a fresh ODS-2 volume containing `inputs` as user files in 000000.DIR. Each file is a contiguous extent. |
+| `Add` | `void Add(Stream archive, IReadOnlyList<ArchiveInputInfo> inputs)` | Adds (or replaces by name) files inside an existing MinixFs image using `MinixFsInPlaceModifier` for TRUE in-place O(touched bytes) random-access I/O across V1, V2 and V3 superblock variants — only the inode bitmap byte, zone bitmap byte, the new inode slot, the affected directory zone and the file's data zones are written; every other byte of the image stays identical. Falls back to whole-image rebuild only when the image has no free inode/zone or the file exceeds the direct-pointer ceiling. |
+| `CreateFromStreams` | `void CreateFromStreams(Stream output, IEnumerable<StreamingArchiveInput> inputs, FormatCreateOptions options)` | Two-pass streaming creation: pre-known per-input sizes drive the Minix v3 zone allocation in pass 1; pass 2 writes the metadata image with each file's data zones left zero, then streams each input's bytes from its `OpenStream` factory into its first allocated zone via 64 KB chunks. The output is byte-identical to `Create` for the same inputs (Minix has no data checksums). Falls back to the buffered default when the target stream is not seekable. Note: Minix v3 caps a file at 7 direct zones (7168 bytes), so large-file streaming is bounded by that ceiling. |

 | `Defragment` | `void Defragment(Stream archive)` |  |
-| `Defragment` | `void Defragment(Stream archive, DefragOptions options)` | Moves only the files that are out of place, rewriting each one's retrieval pointer as its blocks arrive. The pass is kept only if every payload still reads back: it can refuse partway — a header it cannot find leaves bytes moved with nothing naming them — and the volume goes back as it was then. |
-| `EnumerateExtents` | `IEnumerable<DefragBlockInfo> EnumerateExtents(Stream image)` | Reports the volume's layout: the fixed metadata prefix — boot block, home block, BITMAP.SYS, INDEXF.SYS and the root directory — then each file's contiguous run of LBNs. Everything else is free. |

-| `Remove` | `void Remove(Stream archive, string[] entryNames)` | Removes the named entries in-place via `OpenVmsInPlaceModifier`. |
-| `WipeUnusedSpace` | `long WipeUnusedSpace(Stream image, bool wipeClusterTips = true, bool wipeDeletedEntries = true)` | Zeros every byte no live file occupies. A file is one contiguous run of LBNs, so the gaps between runs — and the tail past the last one — are free space. The run is reported at its logical length, so the padding to the block boundary is wiped with it. |
+| `MoveExtent` | `void MoveExtent(Stream image, long srcOffset, long dstOffset, long length, bool zeroSource = false)` |  |
+| `OpenEntry` | `Stream OpenEntry(Stream archive, string entryName, string password)` | Opens a single filesystem entry as a bounded read-only stream. The reader produces the decoded file bytes by walking the entry's extent or block chain; the matched bytes are wrapped in a `BoundedEntryStream` sized to the entry's logical length so cluster/extent slack past the entry's end is physically unreachable through this view. |
+| `RebuildStreaming` | `void RebuildStreaming(Stream source, Stream target, LayoutRebuildOptions options)` |  |
+| `Remove` | `void Remove(Stream archive, string[] entryNames)` | Removes the named entries from an existing MinixFs image using `MinixFsInPlaceModifier` for true in-place O(touched bytes) random-access I/O across V1/V2/V3. |
+| `UpdateAllocationAfterMove` | `void UpdateAllocationAfterMove(Stream image, string fileName, long oldOffset, long newOffset, long length)` |  |
+| `WipeUnusedSpace` | `long WipeUnusedSpace(Stream image, bool wipeClusterTips = true, bool wipeDeletedEntries = true)` | Zeros all unused space in a Minix image: free zones and the cluster-tip slack between a file's logical size (i_size) and the end of its last 1024-byte zone. Data zones are reached through the inode's zone pointers and the writer allocates them contiguously per file, so a size lookup keyed by file name lets the generic `UnusedSpaceWiper` trim each tip precisely without touching the inode table, bitmaps or directory zones. |
 
-#### `OpenVmsInPlaceModifier`
+#### `MinixFsInPlaceModifier`
 
-True in-place R/W modifier for the workbench-layout OpenVMS Files-11 ODS-2 volume. Honours the ODS-2 semantics described at `OpenVmsLayout`: Add — scan BITMAP.SYS for the first free File-ID slot in INDEXF.SYS, scan BITMAP.SYS for a contiguous run of free data LBNs, write the File Header at its known offset, copy the caller's bytes into the allocated data LBNs, drop a 64-byte directory entry into 000000.DIR, and flush the bitmap + home-block accounting back to disk.Replace — internally a Remove + Add round so the new data lands at fresh LBNs. The previous file's File Header is freed and its data LBNs are released to the bitmap; untouched neighbours stay byte-identical.Remove — zero the directory entry, free the File Header in INDEXF.SYS (zero its struc-level), release its data LBNs in BITMAP.SYS, and securely wipe the released data LBNs to zero. The bytes touched by every operation are strictly bounded: 1 BITMAP.SYS sector window + 1 INDEXF.SYS File-Header LBN + 1 directory LBN + N data LBNs (= ⌈size / 512⌉). LBNs outside that footprint are byte-identical to the pre-operation image.
+TRUE in-place R/W modifier for Minix v1/v2/v3 filesystem images. Performs O(touched bytes) random-access mutation: only the superblock, the relevant inode/zone bitmap bytes, the affected inode slot, the root directory zone, and the file's data zones are read or written. All other bytes of the image remain byte-identical. The version is autodetected from the superblock magic at byte offsets 1040 (V1/V2) or 1048 (V3) of the image: 0x137F — V1, 14-char names0x138F — V1, 30-char names0x2468 — V2, 14-char names0x2478 — V2, 30-char names0x4D5A — V3, 60-char namesHonest scope: file data is stored only via direct-zone pointers. Larger files (single-indirect, double-indirect, triple-indirect allocation) are deferred — callers asking for files larger than `7 * blockSize` must fall back to rebuild. Subdirectory creation is deferred for the same reason. Existing indirect-allocated file content is still correctly freed on Remove, however.

-| `RemoveFile` | `static bool RemoveFile(Stream archive, string name, bool wipeData = true)` | Removes the file named `name` if present.

+| `Replace` | `static bool Replace(Stream image, string name, byte[] data)` | Replaces the data of a named file in-place.

+#### `MinixV1InPlaceModifier`
+
+TRUE in-place R/W modifier for original Minix v1 filesystem images. Performs O(touched bytes) random-access mutation against the real mkfs.minix on-disk layout: only the superblock zone-count field, the relevant inode/zone bitmap bytes, the affected inode slot, the touched directory zone and the file's data zones (plus a single-indirect pointer block when needed) are read or written. Every other byte stays byte-identical. The v1 bitmaps follow the classic mkfs.minix convention: the inode bitmap addresses inode `i` at bit `i` (bit 0 reserved), and the zone bitmap addresses zone `Z` at bit `Z - firstDataZone + 1` (bit 0 reserved). When the image has no free zone, fresh zones are appended at the end of the image (the bitmap and `s_nzones` grow with it) — a genuine in-place grow, not a re-pack.Honest scope: files are stored through the 7 direct zones plus the one single-indirect zone (up to 7 + 512 = 519 zones ≈ 531 KB). Anything larger, or a request the bitmap cannot satisfy, throws `IOException` so the descriptor can fall back to a full rebuild. Subdirectory creation is also deferred to rebuild. Existing double-indirect content is still freed on Remove.

+#### `MinixV1Writer`
+
+Builds minimal but spec-correct original Minix v1 filesystem images (1987, Tanenbaum). The v1 on-disk format uses 1024-byte blocks, 16-bit zone numbers, 16-bit inode counts and 32-byte inodes addressing data through 7 direct zones, 1 single-indirect and 1 double-indirect zone. Directory names are 14 bytes (magic `0x137F`) or 30 bytes (magic `0x138F`). Every path component becomes a real directory inode carrying its own `"."`/`".."` entries, so a file added as `"a/b/c.txt"` is stored under nested directories `a` and `a/b`. Files larger than the 7 direct zones (7168 bytes) spill into the single-indirect zone, which addresses a further 512 zones (524 288 bytes); beyond that the double-indirect zone extends the reach further still.

This reader understands the master metadata's outer envelope: 8-byte ASCII signature (e.g. `MFSM 2.0`, `MFSM 1.6`, `MFSM 1.5`, `MFSM 1.4`, `MFSM NEW`).For 1.6+ images: two 8-byte big-endian counters (file-id counter, metadata version) immediately after the signature.Sequence of sections. Each section: 8-byte ASCII type tag (`SESS 1.0`, `STAT 1.0`, `NODE 1.0`, `EDGE 1.0`, `FREE 1.0`, `XATR 1.0`, `CHNK 1.0`, `OPEN 1.0`, `FLCK 1.0`, `QUOT 1.0`, `ACLS 1.0`, …) + 8-byte big-endian payload length + that many payload bytes.Final 16-byte terminator `[MFS EOF MARKER]`. The reader walks the section index only — it does not attempt to decode NODE / EDGE record bodies, which differ between MooseFS minor versions and require ground-truth golden samples to validate. NODE/EDGE would give path tree + inode metadata; CHNK gives chunk-id mappings. None of those by themselves yield file content — MooseFS data lives on chunk servers and is only reachable via the live MooseFS protocol. Therefore the reader exposes: `metadata.ini` — human-readable summary of header + section table (name, payload offset, payload length).`moosefs-master.bin` — the raw image, byte-for-byte.`section_<NAME>.bin` — the raw payload bytes of each section the index walk surfaced (NODE, EDGE, CHNK, …). Useful for offline forensics; we make no claim about their internal structure. If section-walk fails (signature past the 8-byte tag is not recognised, a section length runs past EOF, the EOF marker is missing, …), the reader falls back to a header-only surface (metadata.ini + raw) and records the parse failure in `metadata.ini`'s `parse_status` field. This is the honest "we recognise the envelope but couldn't walk the contents" mode rather than silently inventing entries.

+| `Add` | `void Add(Stream archive, IReadOnlyList<ArchiveInputInfo> inputs)` | Adds files to the FAT12 filesystem inside an existing MSA image. Each call performs decode → modify FAT → re-encode (see `MsaModifier`); per-track RLE compression makes anything cheaper architecturally impossible. |
+| `Create` | `void Create(Stream output, IReadOnlyList<ArchiveInputInfo> inputs, FormatCreateOptions options)` | Builds an MSA image holding the inputs. An MSA file is a compressed Atari ST floppy, so the files go into a GEMDOS volume first and that volume is what gets encoded. A single input that already is a floppy image — the .st → .msa conversion — is encoded as it stands. Anything else used to be treated the same way, which meant the first input's bytes were read as a disk image and every other input was dropped without a word: three files in, one nonsensical "floppy" out. |
+| `Defragment` | `void Defragment(Stream archive)` |  |
+| `Defragment` | `void Defragment(Stream archive, DefragOptions options)` | Defragments the inner FAT12 filesystem inside an MSA image. The image is decoded to a flat disk, the FAT layer is defragmented via rebuild (read all files, rebuild with FatWriter which always start-packs), and the result is re-encoded to MSA tracks preserving the original geometry. |
+| `EnumerateExtents` | `IEnumerable<DefragBlockInfo> EnumerateExtents(Stream image)` | Decodes the MSA tracks to a flat FAT12 image and delegates to `Enumerate` for the actual cluster-chain walk. The returned offsets are relative to the inner flat image (not the MSA container) — this matches what the defrag window expects for filesystem extent maps. |
+| `ExtractEntryToMemory` | `byte[] ExtractEntryToMemory(Stream archive, string entryName, string password)` | Native in-memory single-entry extraction routed through the bounded `OpenEntry`. |
+| `Extract` | `void Extract(Stream stream, string outputDir, string password, string[] files)` |  |
+| `List` | `List<ArchiveEntryInfo> List(Stream stream, string password)` | Lists the files on the floppy the image holds. An MSA file wraps a GEMDOS volume, and this descriptor's Add and Remove already work on that volume's files, so this reads them too — a disc whose filesystem cannot be walked falls back to the raw image as a single entry. |
+| `OpenEntry` | `Stream OpenEntry(Stream archive, string entryName, string password)` | Opens a single filesystem entry as a bounded read-only stream. The reader produces the decoded file bytes by walking the entry's extent or block chain; the matched bytes are wrapped in a `BoundedEntryStream` sized to the entry's logical length so cluster/extent slack past the entry's end is physically unreachable through this view. |
+| `Remove` | `void Remove(Stream archive, string[] entryNames)` | Removes files from the FAT12 filesystem inside an existing MSA image. Inner-layer wipe is delegated to `FatRemover` (zeros cluster bytes + cluster-tip slack + dirent + FAT entries), then the modified flat image is re-encoded to MSA tracks. |
+| `WipeUnusedSpace` | `long WipeUnusedSpace(Stream image, bool wipeClusterTips = true, bool wipeDeletedEntries = true)` | Zeros all unused space in the filesystem inside an MSA image. MSA is an outer RLE-compressed container whose track bytes hold no in-place free space — the extent map's offsets are relative to the decoded flat image, not the container — so wiping is performed the only honest way: decode the tracks to the flat image, run the wiper of whichever descriptor reads that volume (free clusters + cluster tips) on it, then re-encode preserving the original geometry. |
+
+#### `MsaModifier`
+
+Modifier for Atari ST MSA (Magic Shadow Archiver) disk images. MSA is a two-level container: an outer RLE-compressed track wrapper around an inner FAT12 filesystem image (track-aligned dump of a standard ST floppy). Because each track is RLE-compressed independently, true byte-level in-place modification is impossible — any change to the inner FAT image shifts the compressed lengths of one or more tracks and therefore the entire rest of the file. The honest path is decode → modify FAT → re-encode, which is what this class does:Read MSA header, decompress all tracks into a flat FAT12 image (size = (end-start+1) × sides × SPT × 512 bytes).Apply the FAT modifier op (`FatRemover` for remove, `FatReader` + `FatWriter` rebuild for add) on the flat image, preserving total-sectors.Re-encode the flat image back to MSA tracks via `Write`, preserving the original geometry (SPT, sides, start/end track) so subsequent round-trips remain stable.Operates on the entire image — there is no streaming sector access because the RLE codec is per-track and forces a full track decode anyway. For a 1.44 MB ST floppy that's ~1.4 MB of memory traffic per call, which is fine for the use case (interactive disk editing, test harnesses).

+| `AddFile` | `static void AddFile(Stream image, string name, byte[] data)` | Adds a file to the FAT12 filesystem inside an MSA image. The image is fully decoded, the FAT layer is rebuilt with the existing entries plus the new one (matching `FatFormatDescriptor.Add`'s strategy — FatWriter is build-from-scratch by design), and the result is re-compressed track by track with the original MSA geometry. |
+| `RemoveFile` | `static bool RemoveFile(Stream image, string name, bool wipeData = true)` | Removes the named file from the FAT12 filesystem inside an MSA image. Uses `Remove` for the inner-layer wipe (zeros cluster bytes + cluster-tip slack + directory entry + FAT entries in every FAT copy, leaving no forensic trace of the filename or content), then re-encodes the modified flat image back to MSA tracks with the original geometry. |

This live-only extent set is what makes the wipe verb forensically honest on a log-structured volume: `Remove` only tombstones (snapshot data stays byte-identical), and a subsequent `WipeUnusedSpace` zero-fills the now-dead payload bytes because they are no longer claimed by any live extent.For images we did not write ourselves (no `WriterMagic` marker) we emit a coarse map: metadata-reserved for the boot+superblock area, free for the rest. NILFS v1's true segment-usage walk is out of scope.The image is read through an `ImageAccessor` rather than copied in: the directories are a few kilobytes however many gigabytes of payload they describe.

+Descriptor for NILFS v1 — the original (pre-mainline) New Implementation of a Log-structured File System, predecessor of NILFS2. Shares the 0x3434 magic with NILFS2 but is distinguished by `s_rev_level == 1` (NILFS2 uses rev≥2). Writer scope. Per the task brief, NILFS v1's full DAT-tree / segment-usage / log-replay surface is a multi-week effort. The writer here emits a spec-compliant superblock plus a single segment with a compact directory + payload region. External NILFS v1 tools that validate the superblock signature accept the result; our reader fully round-trips List and Extract through the writer's directory marker.Hierarchy. Subdirectories are recorded as path-prefixed entries in the writer's compact directory ('/' separator). The reader returns the flat list with subdir prefixes; consumers reconstruct the tree via `WriteFile`.

+| `BlockSize` | `int BlockSize { get; }` | A byte. Payloads are packed to the byte here, so nothing rounds them to anything larger. |
+| `FirstDataByte` | `long FirstDataByte { get; }` | First byte a payload may occupy: where the base segment's payloads start. |

+
+#### `Nilfs2FormatDescriptor`
+
+NILFS2 descriptor (continuous-snapshot log-structured filesystem, Linux mainline since 2.6.30). Magic 0x3434 sits at superblock+6 (file offset 1030). R/W scope. Create emits a spec-compliant superblock plus a writer-private compact directory at offset 2048 (the base checkpoint at cno=1). Add / Replace / Remove append a fresh log segment (an appended-segment magic header + cno + dirents + payload) at the tail of the volume and bump `s_last_cno` in the superblock — the only in-place edit, sanctioned by the NILFS2 spec for advancing the checkpoint pointer. Every byte of every prior segment stays byte-identical at its original offset, so the older state is byte-recoverable as a snapshot (continuous-snapshot semantic).Kernel-mountable. Create emits the full single-checkpoint log the Linux `nilfs2` driver needs to mount: a super root with the DAT / cpfile / sufile inodes (+ their CRC), a segment summary with the spec ss_sumsum / ss_datasum checksums, an ifile holding the root directory inode, a DAT (Disk Address Translation) table, and a flat root directory carrying the files. A real `mount -t nilfs2` mounts the image, lists the directory, and reads the files back (verified via the libguestfs appliance kernel). Subdirectories and files larger than a direct block map stay in the writer-private directory for the reader but are not materialised in the mountable tree; snapshots / multi-checkpoint chains remain out of scope.

+| `TarCompressionFormatId` | `string TarCompressionFormatId { get; }` |  |
+| `Add` | `void Add(Stream archive, IReadOnlyList<ArchiveInputInfo> inputs)` | Appends a fresh log segment at the tail of the image carrying dirent + data blocks for each input, and bumps `s_last_cno` in the superblock. The 8-byte cno field is the only in-place edit; every other byte of the prior image stays byte-identical at its original offset — continuous snapshot semantic intact. Inputs whose name already exists are effectively replaced (the higher cno wins on read). |
+| `AnalyzeLayout` | `LayoutAnalysis AnalyzeLayout(Stream image)` |  |
+| `Create` | `void Create(Stream output, IReadOnlyList<ArchiveInputInfo> inputs, FormatCreateOptions options)` | Emits a self-contained NILFS2 image (valid superblock + base private directory at cno=1). Round-trips through this descriptor's reader and serves as the substrate for in-place Add / Replace / Remove via `Nilfs2InPlaceModifier`. |

The reader's cno-merge drops the entry from the listing; the original data blocks stay byte-identical at their original offsets and remain addressable as a snapshot of the pre-Remove state. |
+| `WipeUnusedSpace` | `long WipeUnusedSpace(Stream image, bool wipeClusterTips = true, bool wipeDeletedEntries = true)` |  |
+
+#### `Nilfs2InPlaceModifier`
+
+True in-place modifier for NILFS2 images emitted by `Nilfs2Writer`. Implements the spec semantic of NILFS2's continuous-snapshot log-structured layout: every mutation appends a fresh "logical segment" at the tail of the volume, leaving every byte in the prior image byte-identical at its original offset — except for the 8-byte `s_last_cno` field of the superblock, which is the only in-place edit the spec sanctions. Old segments stay recoverable as snapshots.
+
+| Member | Signature | Summary |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `Add` | `static void Add(Stream image, IReadOnlyList<ArchiveInputInfo> inputs)` | Appends a new logical segment carrying fresh dirent + data blocks for each input file and bumps `s_last_cno` in the superblock. Existing segments stay byte-identical at their original offsets; only the 8-byte checkpoint-number field of the superblock changes in place. |
+| `Remove` | `static void Remove(Stream image, string[] entryNames)` | Appends a new logical segment containing a tombstone dirent for each named entry and bumps `s_last_cno`. Old data blocks stay byte-identical; the reader's tombstone-aware merge drops the entry from the listing. |
+| `Replace` | `static void Replace(Stream image, string name, byte[] newData)` | Appends a new logical segment carrying a fresh data block for the named file and bumps `s_last_cno`. Old data blocks stay byte-identical at their original offsets — they remain addressable as snapshots — and the reader's highest-cno-per-name merge surfaces the new content. |
+
+#### `Nilfs2Reader`
+
+Reads NILFS2 superblock metadata (Linux's continuous-snapshot log-structured filesystem, mainline since 2.6.30). Full file traversal would require walking the DAT (Disk Address Translation) B-tree and replaying log segments — multi-week work. This reader surfaces the parsed superblock + checkpoint anchor as a structured metadata bundle plus the raw image, matching the pattern used by other research/proprietary read-only FSes in this project. Superblock layout (selected, little-endian, sits at file offset 1024): 0x00 u32 s_rev_level 0x04 u16 s_minor_rev_level 0x06 u16 s_magic (must be 0x3434 = NILFS_SUPER_MAGIC) 0x08 u16 s_bytes 0x0A u16 s_flags 0x0C u32 s_crc_seed 0x10 u32 s_sum 0x14 u32 s_log_block_size 0x18 u64 s_nsegments 0x20 u64 s_dev_size 0x28 u64 s_first_data_block 0x30 u32 s_blocks_per_segment 0x34 u32 s_r_segments_percentage 0x38 u64 s_last_cno (last checkpoint number) 0x40 u64 s_last_pseg (last partial segment) ...

+| `Encode` | `static void Encode(Span<byte> dest, uint logBlockSize, ulong nSegments, ulong devSize, uint blocksPerSegment, ulong lastCno, ulong lastPseg, ulong lastSeq, ulong freeBlocks, ulong ctime, ushort state, uint crcSeed, ReadOnlySpan<byte> uuid, string volumeLabel)` | Encodes a complete 1024-byte superblock into `dest` and seals it with a valid checksum. |
+| `FinalizeChecksum` | `static void FinalizeChecksum(Span<byte> sb, uint seed)` | Writes the s_sum checksum into `sb` (a span starting at the superblock) using `seed` over the first `SBytes` bytes with the s_sum field zeroed first. |

+
+#### `Nilfs2Writer`
+
+Writes a kernel-mountable NILFS2 image. Emits the full single-checkpoint log structure the Linux `nilfs2` driver needs to mount — a super root with the DAT / cpfile / sufile inodes, a segment summary with the spec checksums, an ifile holding the root directory inode, a DAT (disk-address-translation) table, and a root directory carrying the user files — alongside the byte- accurate, CRC-valid superblock pair. A real `mount -t nilfs2` mounts the image and reads the files back (verified via the libguestfs appliance kernel).

+| `Build` | `byte[] Build(int blockSize = 4096, string volumeLabel = null)` | Builds the NILFS2 image in memory. `blockSize` must be a power of two in [1024, 65536]; `volumeLabel` is written into the superblock's volume-label slot at +0xA8. Use `Build` for volumes past the array limit. |
+| `Build` | `void Build(Stream output, int blockSize = 4096, string volumeLabel = null)` | Writes the NILFS2 image into `output` from its current position. Only the metadata is assembled in memory; file payloads are copied through, so the volume may be arbitrarily large. |
+| `SetIdentity` | `void SetIdentity(ReadOnlySpan<byte> uuid, uint crcSeed, DateTimeOffset createdAt)` | Fixes the volume's identity and creation time, for a build that has to come out the same twice. |

+#### `NssFormatDescriptor`
+
+Read-only descriptor for NSS (Novell Storage Services) — the pool-based, object-aware filesystem that replaced NWFS386 from NetWare 5+ onwards and remains the default for Novell / OpenText Open Enterprise Server. **HONEST DISCLAIMER**: NSS's on-disk format was never publicly documented by Novell. This descriptor identifies NSS-shaped images by scanning for Novell's embedded ASCII anchors ("NSS Pool", "NSSVolume", "SuperBlk", "Novell", "NetWare") in the first 1 MB of the partition. We can locate the pool descriptor and volume / superblock anchors and surface their byte offsets, but we **cannot** walk the object tree or reconstruct files — the layout (block allocation, "Beast" object records, trustee ACL trees) is proprietary. Magic: `"NSS Pool"` — 8 ASCII bytes detected within the first 1 MB via free-form scan. Confidence 0.70 — distinctive enough to seed a match but lower than well-specified filesystems because (a) the layout is RE'd, not vendor-published; (b) the magic is a brand string that can theoretically appear in non-NSS contexts; (c) we cannot validate the surrounding structure.

Successor to NWFS, predecessor to (still-Novell) NSS-on-Linux in OES. HONEST DISCLAIMER: NSS's on-disk format was never officially documented by Novell. The only public structural information comes from third-party RE notes, Novell support/marketing materials, and utility output (nsscon / nss /poolverify). We can identify NSS-shaped images by scanning for known ASCII signatures Novell embedded in pool / volume / superblock metadata, but we cannot validate the object tree without the proprietary spec.

+
+#### `NtfsBlockMover`
+
+In-place NTFS block mover. Moves cluster-aligned extents within an NTFS image and patches the MFT data runs, Update Sequence Array fixup, and cluster bitmap ($Bitmap, MFT record 6) so the file remains reachable at its new location. Handles the common case where a file's data runs cover the moved cluster range. If re-encoding the patched data runs changes byte length and the MFT record lacks sufficient slack space, throws `NotSupportedException` to let the rebuild fallback handle it. Streaming: the mover never loads the whole image. `Init` reads only the boot sector and MFT record 0; all metadata updates are targeted reads/writes via `SectorCache` + `Flush` barriers so a crash mid-operation leaves the image fsck-recoverable, and a multi-TB NTFS volume needs only ~256 MB of cache RAM regardless of size.

For NTFS, the boot sector, MFT, and system file data are all marked MetadataReserved by the extent map. User data can safely be placed at or after this offset. Computed from the MFT location + its extent size as a conservative lower bound. The actual usable origin should be derived from the extent map (see `DefragmentWithPlanner`). |

+
+Walks an NTFS image and yields its actual on-disk byte layout — the boot sector, the $MFT itself (record 0's $DATA runs), the 16 reserved system files (records 0-15), and every regular file's $DATA attribute data runs. Each non-resident $DATA's run-list is decoded; resident $DATA bytes surface as a single MetadataReserved tile inside the MFT record. The 16 reserved system records (e.g. $MFTMirr, $LogFile, $Bitmap, $Boot, $UpCase) are flagged as MetadataReserved. Streaming: reads only the boot sector + MFT records on demand via a `SectorCache`. A 50 TB NTFS image with a large $MFT keeps memory bounded to ~256 MB regardless of image size.

+#### `NtfsFilesystemDriverAdapter`
+
+Native NTFS driver sidecar. Namespace identity is based on the MFT record number rather than path text, so rename/unlink can later preserve open-handle identity. The reader already decodes resident/non-resident $DATA, sparse runs, LZNT1, reparse symlinks and INDEX_ALLOCATION directories. Mounted writes remain fail-closed until $LogFile transactions/replay and the full file-reference (MFT record + sequence number) are part of the mutable core.

The reader produces the decoded file bytes by walking the entry's extent or block chain; the matched bytes are wrapped in a `BoundedEntryStream` sized to the entry's logical length so cluster/extent slack past the entry's end is physically unreachable through this view. |

+| `Shrink` | `void Shrink(Stream input, Stream output)` | Genuine in-place NTFS shrink: relocates only the clusters above the auto-fit boundary into free space below it via `NtfsInPlaceShrinker`, trims $Bitmap/$Boot, and emits the smaller image. Falls back to the `IArchiveShrinkable` default (verified rebuild / copy-through) when the in-place path cannot handle the image (e.g. a compressed stream would need relocation). |

+
+#### `NtfsInPlaceAdder`
+
+Genuine in-place add for NTFS images — the inverse of `NtfsRemover`. Inserts a small file into the root directory by editing only the structures the change touches: it claims a free MFT record slot (from the MFT's cluster-rounding slack), writes a spec-shaped FILE record (header + USA fixup + $STANDARD_INFORMATION + $FILE_NAME + resident or non-resident $DATA), sets the record's bit in `$MFT:$BITMAP`, allocates any data clusters from `$Bitmap`, and inserts a collation-sorted index entry into the root directory's resident `$INDEX_ROOT`. Existing files, their MFT records and their data clusters stay byte-identical at their original offsets — no whole-image re-pack. The in-place path also handles the structural growth cases: it grows the MFT (allocating a cluster, extending `$MFT:$DATA`'s run list — the reader follows the VCN→LCN mapping — widening `$MFT:$BITMAP` and re-syncing `$MFTMirr`) when no record slot is free; it spills a directory index that outgrows the resident `$INDEX_ROOT` into a pointer-form root + non-resident `$INDEX_ALLOCATION` (a single INDX leaf, USA-fixed) + `$BITMAP`, growing the INDX block size as the directory grows; and it creates intermediate sub-directory FILE records for nested targets (`a/b/c.txt`), linking them through their parents' `$I30` indexes. It still throws (so the caller can rebuild) when an allocation cannot be satisfied — no free data clusters, no contiguous index-allocation run, or a record/attribute that will not fit.

+| `AddFile` | `static void AddFile(byte[] image, string name, byte[] data)` | Adds (or replaces by name) `name` into the root directory of the in-memory NTFS image. Throws `NotSupportedException` / `IOException` for the structural cases above so the caller can rebuild instead. |
+| `MftRecordByteOffset` | `static long MftRecordByteOffset(byte[] image, int slot)` | Public façade over the run-list-aware MFT record mapping for callers that scan the MFT (e.g. `NtfsRemover`). Returns the physical byte offset of record `slot`, following $MFT:$DATA's VCN→LCN run list so a grown, non-contiguous MFT (common on real mkfs.ntfs images after several adds) is read correctly. Returns -1 when the slot is past the MFT's mapped clusters. |
+| `MftRecordSlotCount` | `static int MftRecordSlotCount(byte[] image)` | Number of record slots the MFT's $DATA currently spans (allocated bytes / record size). Lets a scanner bound its loop to the MFT's real extent rather than the whole image. |
+| `RemoveIndexEntry` | `static bool RemoveIndexEntry(byte[] image, uint dirRecord, uint recordNum)` | Removes the index entry referencing `recordNum` from `dirRecord`'s $I30 directory index, then rewrites the index in the smallest representation that fits (resident $INDEX_ROOT, or — if it still does not fit — a single spilled INDX leaf). The whole directory record is rebuilt and re-USA-fixed, so it stays consistent for real mkfs.ntfs / Windows directories whose records use a different update-sequence-array layout than our writer. This is the structural inverse of `InsertIndexEntry` and is invoked by `NtfsRemover`. Returns `true` if an entry was removed. |
+
+#### `NtfsInPlaceShrinker`
+
+Genuine in-place NTFS volume shrink. Reduces the volume to a smaller cluster count by relocating only the clusters that sit at or above the new boundary into free clusters below it, patching the owning attribute's data runs and the $Bitmap, then trimming the image. Work is `O(clusters relocated + metadata touched)` — clusters that already live below the boundary are never read or rewritten, so the bytes below the boundary stay byte-identical. AlgorithmParse the boot sector. The image spans `(NumberSectors+1)/spc` total volume clusters; the final cluster is reserved for the backup boot sector (its last sector is the one `NumberSectors` excludes), so file data lives in clusters `0..volumeClusters-2`.Pick a target volume-cluster count. The data boundary is `target-1` (the new last cluster stays reserved). Refuse (throw `NotSupportedException`) if the in-use clusters cannot fit below the boundary, or if a cluster at or above it belongs to a compressed/sparse $DATA stream this shrinker cannot relocate.Walk every MFT record's non-resident $DATA / $INDEX_ALLOCATION runs. For every run that crosses the boundary, claim a contiguous free region below it (falling back to per-cluster), copy the cluster bytes, rewrite the run list to the new LCNs, and flip the old/new $Bitmap bits. The attribute is grown in place (shifting the record tail) when the relocated run list needs more bytes. $MFT, $MFTMirr, $LogFile, $Bitmap and the directory indices are handled by the same record walk (records 0..15 included).Reshape $Bitmap to the new size (reserve the new backup cluster, pad the final bitmap byte), rewrite $Boot's `NumberSectors`, copy the boot sector to the new last sector (the relocated backup boot), re-sync $MFTMirr, and truncate the image to `target * clusterSize`.Supported shrink shapes (in place, no re-pack): any target where the highest in-use cluster can be relocated into free space below the boundary and every relocated attribute is a plain (uncompressed, non-sparse) non-resident stream. Refused (`NotSupportedException`): a target below the in-use cluster count, or one that would require relocating a compressed/sparse stream (those keep their on-disk LCNs and are left to the rebuild fallback).

Finds the named file in the MFT (records 16+), zeros every cluster referenced by its $DATA attribute (including resident-value bytes for small files), clears the corresponding index entry in the root directory's $INDEX_ROOT, and zeros the entire 1024-byte MFT record. After the operation no bytes of the original filename or content remain recoverable from the image. Root-directory-only for now; nested-directory removal is a follow-up. The reader skips records whose "FILE" signature is missing, so zeroing the whole record is sufficient to hide the file from enumeration and extraction.

+
+#### `NtfsWriter`
+
+Builds spec-compliant NTFS filesystem images. All reserved system MFT records (0-15) are populated with real content: $MFT, $MFTMirr, $LogFile, $Volume, $AttrDef, root $., $Bitmap, $Boot, $BadClus, $Secure, $UpCase, and $Extend. Every record carries the mandatory $STANDARD_INFORMATION and $FILE_NAME attributes, the Update Sequence Array (USA) fixup is applied at sector boundaries, and the on-disk cluster bitmap reflects which clusters are actually allocated. Small files (<700 bytes) use a resident $DATA attribute; larger files use non-resident cluster runs. Images produced by this writer carry all the structure that chkdsk and the Linux ntfs-3g driver check at mount time: volume serial, valid boot signature, every system file has its "FILE" magic, USA fixup at `record[510..512]` and `record[1022..1024]`, $Volume carries a valid $VOLUME_INFORMATION (version 3.1), the $UpCase data stream is 128 KiB long (65 536 UTF-16 upper-case mappings) and $Bitmap only marks clusters that hold actual filesystem metadata/data. Large directories: when a directory's $I30 file-name index no longer fits in the resident $INDEX_ROOT inside its MFT record, it spills into a non-resident $INDEX_ALLOCATION (a stream of "INDX" index records, each with its own USA fixup) tracked by a named $BITMAP. The $INDEX_ROOT then holds routing pointer entries (subnode VCN flag 0x01 + 8-byte child VCN at the entry tail) into those INDX leaves, and the FILE_NAME entries live in the leaves sorted by NTFS file-name collation. A single B+tree level is built: the resident root points directly at leaf blocks. To keep all routing pointers resident, the INDX block size is grown (power-of-two, 4 KiB..64 KiB) as the entry count rises. With the default 1024-byte MFT record this handles tens of thousands of short-named entries per directory; only a directory whose routing pointers would overflow even a 64 KiB block (hundreds of thousands of entries) would need a second tree level, which is not yet implemented. 8.3 short names: by default every $FILE_NAME is recorded in the Win32&DOS namespace (3) so the long name also serves as the 8.3 short name, the way a freshly formatted Windows volume does. Passing `generateShortNames: false` records names in the Win32-only namespace (1) and emits no DOS short name — the equivalent of `fsutil behavior set disable8dot3`.

+| `DeclaredVolumeBytes` | `long DeclaredVolumeBytes { get; }` | Declared volume size in bytes of the most recent build. |
+| `AddFile` | `void AddFile(string name, byte[] data)` | Adds a file to the NTFS image. |
+| `AddStreamingFile` | `void AddStreamingFile(string name, long size, Func<Stream> openStream)` | Adds a streaming file: `size` drives MFT-record + cluster sizing in pass 1; bytes are pulled from `openStream` in pass 2 of `BuildToStreaming`. Files larger than the resident threshold (~700 bytes) get a single-run non-resident $DATA whose clusters are filled from the source via 64 KB chunks; smaller files remain resident and are buffered up-front (the size-clamped bounded read still satisfies the isolation contract). |
+| `BuildAutoSized` | `byte[] BuildAutoSized(int requestedClusterSize = 0, int requestedMftRecordSize = 0)` | Builds the image with the cluster size and MFT record size chosen by `FilesystemLayoutOptimizer` to minimise file slack + MFT-zone reservation + per-file MFT-record waste, and the volume sized to exactly hold the files plus structural overhead. |
+| `BuildToStreamingAutoSized` | `void BuildToStreamingAutoSized(Stream output)` | Two-pass streaming Build with auto-sized geometry. |
+| `BuildToStreaming` | `void BuildToStreaming(Stream output, long totalSize)` | Two-pass streaming Build: pass 1 derives MFT-record + cluster geometry from the declared sizes of `AddStreamingFile` entries; pass 2 emits all reserved system MFT records (0..15) + the per-user MFT records (with $DATA attributes pointing at single-run non-resident allocations for files > ResidentThreshold), then streams each non-resident entry's bytes from its factory into its allocated cluster run via 64 KB chunks. Cluster tail past each entry's exact `Size` stays sparse-zero (the in-memory disk byte[] was zero-initialised and the per-entry stream copy never reads past the entry's logical size). |
+| `BuildToStreaming` | `void BuildToStreaming(Stream output, long totalSize, int clusterSizeBytes, int mftRecordSize)` |  |
+| `BuildTo` | `void BuildTo(Stream output, long totalSize, int clusterSize = 4096, int mftRecordSize = 1024)` | Writes the volume to `output`: the populated prefix, then the declared length, then the two regions that live past the prefix. Free space costs nothing, so volumes far beyond the in-memory limit are producible. |
+| `Build` | `byte[] Build(int totalSize = 4194304)` | Builds the NTFS filesystem image with the default geometry (4 MiB volume, 4 KiB clusters, 1024-byte MFT records). Kept as a parameterless-default overload so existing callers/tests remain byte-compatible. |
+| `Build` | `byte[] Build(int totalSize, int clusterSize, int mftRecordSize)` | Builds the NTFS filesystem image with a tunable cluster size and MFT record size. |
+| `PlanAutoSize` | `ValueTuple<long, int, int> PlanAutoSize(int requestedClusterSize = 0, int requestedMftRecordSize = 0)` | Volume size, cluster size and MFT-record size an auto-sized build would use for the files added. The size is a long: clamping it to int for `Build` is exactly what capped an auto-sized volume at 2 GB, and the streaming path needs no such clamp. |
+| `SetCompression` | `void SetCompression(bool enabled)` | Enables or disables NTFS LZNT1 compression of file `$DATA` for this build. When enabled every non-resident file is stored as a compressed attribute (16-cluster compression units, the `0x0001` compressed flag, sparse runs for saved clusters). Resident files (≤ ~700 bytes) are left uncompressed, mirroring real NTFS which never compresses resident data. Default is off; call before any `Build` overload. |
+| `SetNtfsMinorVersion` | `void SetNtfsMinorVersion(byte minorVersion)` | Sets the NTFS minor version stamped into `$VOLUME_INFORMATION` (the major version is always 3). Accepts 0 (NTFS 3.0, Windows 2000) or 1 (NTFS 3.1, Windows XP and later — the default). |
+| `SetVolumeSerial` | `void SetVolumeSerial(long serial)` | Fixes the volume serial, for a build that has to come out the same twice. |

+#### `NwfsFormatDescriptor`
+
+Read-only descriptor for NWFS386 (Novell NetWare 386 / "Traditional NetWare File System") — used in NetWare 2.x/3.x/4.x and as the SYS: filesystem in 5.x/6.x. NSS (Novell Storage Services) replaced it for new volumes from 1998 but NWFS images still surface in archaeology / migration workflows. **PROVENANCE**: Novell never released the on-disk format. What is read and written here follows the public reverse-engineering of it (notably the zhmu/nwfs project, whose documentation and reader were both checked against). Volumes written by `NwfsWriter` are read back by that project's own `transfer` tool — directory tree, sizes and file bytes all agreeing — so contents are no longer merely detected. Still out of scope: suballocation, Turbo FAT, compression, mirrored partitions, volumes spanning several partitions, and the salvage area. A volume using any of those reads only as far as its plain structures go. Magic: `HOTFIX00` — 8 ASCII bytes at byte offset `0x4000` (16384, = sector 32 at 512 B sectors). Confidence 0.85: 8 bytes of ASCII at a fixed offset is high-signal, but because the layout is RE-derived we keep a small margin below the 0.9-0.95 used for spec-stable filesystems. "MIRROR00" and "NetWare Volumes" are detected as corroboration but not used for primary signature matching.

+
+Best-effort detector for the Novell NetWare 386 (NWFS386) filesystem — a.k.a. the Traditional NetWare File System. NWFS was the *only* filesystem in NetWare 2.x/3.x/4.x and the default for the SYS: volume in NetWare 5/6. Its on-disk format was never publicly documented by Novell; everything we know comes from reverse-engineering. Read-only — we cannot validate contents without an authoritative spec. Detected signatures (per the zhmu/nwfs reverse-engineering project): `"HOTFIX00"` — 8 ASCII bytes at byte offset `0x4000` (16384) within the partition (sector 32 with 512 B sectors). Marks the start of the Hot Fix area.`"MIRROR00"` — 8 ASCII bytes adjacent to HOTFIX. Marks the Mirror header.`"NetWare Volumes"` — 16 ASCII bytes (NUL-padded) in the volume area following the redirection sectors. Marks the Volume area.

+
+#### `Ocfs2FormatDescriptor`
+
+R/W descriptor for OCFS2 (Oracle Cluster Filesystem 2). Supports: list, extract, create, true in-place modify (Add/Replace/Remove via `Ocfs2InPlaceModifier`), defragment, extent map. Reading is spec-correct against `fs/ocfs2/ocfs2_fs.h` (see `Ocfs2Reader`): INODE01 dinode signatures, the real `ocfs2_dinode` field offsets, the 8-byte `ocfs2_inline_data` header, and the 16-byte extent-list header. It reads images produced by the reference `mkfs.ocfs2` as well as the toolkit's own writer (verified by an external conformance test that reads a real `mkfs.ocfs2 -M local` volume).Writing produces a single-node (no DLM) image with 4 KB blocks/clusters, inline directory entries, and extent-based file data. The superblock and dinode layout are spec-correct — the reference `debugfs.ocfs2 stats` reads the written superblock at exit 0. The writer does NOT yet emit the full chain-allocator / journal / slot-map / local-alloc system-file suite a mountable volume needs, so `fsck.ocfs2` does not pass on a written image. Create/modify are therefore scoped to structurally-correct construction with self/round-trip readback, not fsck-clean conformance.Modifier scope: root-directory mutations only (subdirectory and extent-backed root directory paths fall back to the rebuild path). DLM/heartbeat lockdown and multi-node cluster semantics are out of scope by design.

The 4 KB block/cluster size is fixed by the single-node MVP layout, so it is not exposed. |
+| `TarCompressionFormatId` | `string TarCompressionFormatId { get; }` |  |
+| `Add` | `void Add(Stream archive, IReadOnlyList<ArchiveInputInfo> inputs)` | Adds (or replaces by name) files in the root directory of an existing OCFS2 image using `Ocfs2InPlaceModifier`. Touches only the global bitmap data block, the root dir dinode, the new file dinode block, and the new data blocks — no whole-image rewrite. Subdirectory paths and extent-backed root directories fall back to the rebuild path so callers keep working when the writer's MVP scope is exceeded. |

+| `Remove` | `void Remove(Stream archive, string[] entryNames)` | Removes files from the root directory of an existing OCFS2 image using `Ocfs2InPlaceModifier`. Frees the dinode block + data clusters via global bitmap bit flips and zero-wipes them so no forensic trace remains. Names that aren't in the root directory fall back to the rebuild path (which can reach subdirectories). |
+| `WipeUnusedSpace` | `long WipeUnusedSpace(Stream image, bool wipeClusterTips = true, bool wipeDeletedEntries = true)` | Zeros all unused space in the OCFS2 image: unallocated clusters and the cluster-tip slack between a file's logical size and the end of its last 4 KB cluster. The extent map already clamps each Used data extent to the file's logical length, so the cluster tip surfaces as a free gap and is zeroed by the generic wiper without a size lookup. Small directories are stored inline inside their dinode (no data cluster), so they have no tip. |
+
+#### `Ocfs2InPlaceModifier`
+
+True in-place R/W modifier for OCFS2 (Oracle Cluster Filesystem 2) images produced by `Ocfs2Writer`. Performs O(touched bytes) random-access I/O against the image: only the global bitmap data block, the root directory dinode (inline dirents), the affected file dinode block, and the file's data blocks are read or written. No whole-image read or rewrite. Layout (matches `Ocfs2Writer`'s single-node geometry): 4 KB blocks = 4 KB clusters; one dinode per block.Superblock dinode at block 2; global bitmap dinode at block 3; bitmap data at block 4 (1 bit per cluster, LSB-first, bit=1 means used).Root directory dinode at block 5 (INODE01) with inline dirents in id2 after the 8-byte ocfs2_inline_data header (id2 + 8), each entry `inode(8) | rec_len(2) | name_len(1) | file_type(1) | name[]`.User files start at block 8: each gets one dinode block, plus contiguous data clusters whose run is held in a single extent record.Scope (MVP, single-node only): root-directory mutations only. Sub-directory mutation, DLM/heartbeat lockdown, multi-node cluster semantics, and root-directory B-tree splits (extent-backed root) are out of scope and throw `NotSupportedException` if encountered.
+
+| Member | Signature | Summary |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `AddFile` | `static void AddFile(Stream image, string name, byte[] data)` | Adds a regular file to the OCFS2 image's root directory. Performs random-access I/O only: bitmap data block, root dinode, new file dinode block, and the new data blocks are written. Throws `IOException` if an entry with the same name already exists (use `ReplaceFile` or call `RemoveFile` first). |
+| `RemoveFile` | `static bool RemoveFile(Stream image, string name, bool wipeData = true)` | Removes a regular file from the OCFS2 image's root directory. Frees its dinode block + data clusters via the global bitmap, zeros their contents, and splices the dirent out of the root directory's inline area. Returns false if the named entry does not exist in the root directory. |
+| `ReplaceFile` | `static bool ReplaceFile(Stream image, string name, byte[] newData)` | Replaces a file's contents in place when the new data fits inside the originally allocated cluster run. Returns false if the named file doesn't exist; throws if the new size requires more clusters than were originally allocated (callers should fall back to `RemoveFile` + `AddFile`). |
+
+#### `Ocfs2Superblock`
+
+Parses the OCFS2 (Oracle Cluster Filesystem 2) superblock. The superblock is stored as the `id2.i_super` sub-structure of an `ocfs2_dinode` at `OCFS2_SUPER_BLOCK_BLKNO = 2`. With a 4 KB block size (the mkfs.ocfs2 default and far the most common), that block starts at byte offset `0x2000` (8192). The dinode's `i_signature[8]` at offset 0 holds the ASCII string `OCFSV2` (NUL-padded to 8). The superblock fields begin at `id2 = +0xC0` within the dinode block. Read-only. Layout per `fs/ocfs2/ocfs2_fs.h`: Verified by: `https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/fs/ocfs2/ocfs2_fs.h`

Each input gets a free header slot in the 64-slot INDEXF window plus a contiguous BITMAP run for its data extent. Directory inputs are skipped (Stage-1 has no subdirectory support). Throws `NotSupportedException` when INDEXF or BITMAP is exhausted. |
+| `Create` | `void Create(Stream output, IReadOnlyList<ArchiveInputInfo> inputs, FormatCreateOptions options)` | Builds a fresh ODS-1 disk image. Inputs are stored in the root with 9.3 ASCII filenames (longer names are truncated by `SplitName`); directory inputs are skipped (ODS-1 Stage-1 has no subdirectory support). |

+
+#### `Ods1Modifier`
+
+In-place random-access modifier for DEC ODS-1 (Files-11 Level 1) disk images. Mutates an existing image without rebuilding it: add allocates a free 512-byte file-header slot in the INDEXF window plus a contiguous run of data LBNs from BITMAP.SYS; remove frees the file's data extents in BITMAP.SYS and zero-fills its file-header slot. The home block's additive checksums are recomputed on every mutation so spec-validating readers see clean values. This is the read+write counterpart of `Ods1Writer`: the writer rebuilds an image from scratch, the modifier touches only the affected LBNs (header slot + BITMAP byte(s) + data extent + home-block checksum fields).Capacity limits match the Stage-1 layout the writer established: at most `IndexfHeaderSlots` (= 64) live files, allocations must be contiguous (single retrieval pointer per file), and data LBNs must live within the image's existing bounds. `AddFile` throws `NotSupportedException` when the INDEXF window is full or when BITMAP.SYS lacks a contiguous free run of the required size.
+
+| Member | Signature | Summary |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `AddFile` | `static void AddFile(Stream image, string name, byte[] data)` | Appends `name`/`data` to an existing ODS-1 image. The header is written into the lowest free slot in the 64-slot INDEXF window; data is placed at the lowest free contiguous run of LBNs in BITMAP.SYS (starting at LBN 68, the first byte past the index-file window). The image grows when the allocated run extends past the current image length; BITMAP.SYS still covers the new range because a single 512-byte bitmap LBN tracks 4096 LBNs. |
+| `RemoveFile` | `static bool RemoveFile(Stream image, string name)` | Removes the named file from an existing ODS-1 image. The file's data extents are freed in BITMAP.SYS, the data bytes are zero-filled (no forensic recovery from the resulting image), and the file-header slot in INDEXF is zero-filled so the reader skips it via its `fileNum == 0` check. |

+
+Writer for DEC VAX/VMS ODS-1 (Files-11 Level 1) disk images. Produces a minimal but spec-shaped Files-11 volume that the companion `Ods1Reader` can round-trip cleanly. Layout produced (LBN = 512-byte Logical Block Number):The writer matches the existing `Ods1Reader` Stage-1 encoding exactly: filenames as raw ASCII (not Radix-50), retrieval pointers in the simplified `(count-1, hi, lo)` form, file size reported as block-count × 512 (no sub-block `fh1$l_efblk`). Real VAX/VMS images use Radix-50 and an end-of-file block field; Stage-1 of this format is a pragmatic round-trip-clean subset. The on-disk shape (boot/home/bitmap/index-file layout, DECFILE11A signature at the canonical home-block offset, file headers with idoff/mpoff/fileNum, little-endian everything) follows the Files-11 spec.

+#### `OneFsFormatDescriptor`
+
+Stage 0 detection-only descriptor for Dell EMC Isilon OneFS LIN-tree root images. Surfaces only a synthetic `metadata.ini` and the raw image bytes; no real file-walk is attempted. Why R/O promotion is impossible (per CONTRIBUTING.md promotion gates):No single-image content surface. OneFS is a clustered scale-out NAS — every file is split into "protection groups" striped across drives and nodes with FEC (Forward Error Correction, N+M:B layout, e.g. N+2:1). A single drive/node image carries only one stripe; the file data cannot be reconstructed without the peer nodes. A read-only reader from one image can never return correct file bytes. LIN tree is cluster-wide. The Logical Inode Number tree (the OneFS metadata index) lives across nodes, not in a single superblock. There is no per-image inode-to-block mapping to walk. Proprietary on-disk format, no public specification. Dell EMC has never published the OneFS on-disk format. No open-source reverse-engineered reader exists. Without a spec we cannot honour the CONTRIBUTING rule "never advertise capabilities you cannot prove against a real spec". FreeBSD/UFS ancestry does NOT give us a UFS reader fallback. OneFS runs on a FreeBSD-derived kernel, but the filesystem layer is entirely proprietary — it is NOT FFS/UFS at the on-disk level. UFS1 places its superblock magic `0x00011954` at offset 8192; OneFS images have the ASCII `"OneFS"` tag at offset 0 and no UFS superblock. Routing OneFS images through `UfsReader` would fail the magic check and (if forced) return arbitrary bytes — the textbook mutual-compensation trap. Conclusion: Stage-0 detection only. Surface the magic, raw bytes, and a `metadata.ini` documenting the limitation. R/O promotion is blocked on (a) Dell EMC publishing the spec and (b) a multi-node ingest path — neither is in reach.

+#### `OneFsReader`
+
+Stage 0 detection-only reader for Dell EMC Isilon OneFS LIN-tree root images. OneFS is a clustered scale-out NAS — its single-image surface is the LIN-tree root block, whose first bytes are the ASCII tag `"OneFS"` (5 bytes, 0x4F 0x6E 0x65 0x46 0x53) or the short `"ONEF"` tag (0x4F 0x4E 0x45 0x46 = 0x4F4E4546 BE int) used in some node-local boot images. Only the tag is verified; the real LIN tree (logical inode number tree) is a cluster-wide construct and cannot be walked from a single image. File data is FEC-striped across nodes (N+M:B protection groups) — even a complete single-drive image carries only one stripe and cannot reconstruct file content without peer nodes. OneFS shares OS ancestry with FreeBSD, but the on-disk filesystem layer is proprietary and NOT UFS-compatible: there is no UFS1 superblock magic (`0x00011954`) at the UFS1 superblock offset (8192). The OneFS on-disk format has never been publicly specified by Dell EMC.

+#### `OpenVmsBitmap`
+
+In-memory view of BITMAP.SYS — the Files-11 ODS-2 storage allocation bitmap. One bit per LBN: bit value 0 means free, 1 means allocated. (The on-disk OpenVMS convention is the opposite — 1 = free — but our reader/writer/in-place-modifier agree on the same polarity, and the header-extension marker means real OpenVMS will never see this volume.) The bitmap lives at `BitmapStartLbn` spanning `BitmapBlockCount` LBNs, giving 65 536 bits of coverage for the default 8 192-LBN volume (with headroom). LBNs occupied by metadata (boot block, home block, BITMAP.SYS itself, INDEXF.SYS, root directory) are pre-marked allocated by `MarkMetadataAllocated` at volume-creation time. The in-place modifier's allocator (`AllocateRun`) scans past the metadata reservation to find a contiguous run of free LBNs.

+#### `OpenVmsFileHeader`
+
+In-memory mirror of a Files-11 File Header (a single 512-byte block inside INDEXF.SYS, anchored at a known LBN). Carries the file's name (ident area, ≤ 20 chars ASCII for ODS-2) and the retrieval pointers (map area) for its data extents. Serialization preserves the on-disk invariants documented at `OpenVmsLayout`: FH header words (IDOFFSET, MPOFFSET, …) at the documented offsets.Ident area at byte 128, 20 bytes of NUL-padded ASCII file name.Map area at byte 256, sequence of (LBN, count) 8-byte tuples, zero-terminated by a (0, 0) sentinel.FH2$W_CHECKSUM at byte 510, additive 16-bit sum of words 0..254.The "in use" predicate is anchored on the structure-level word at +6: a non-zero value means the FH carries a live file. Freeing a File Header (via `ClearInUse`) zeros the structure-level word so a subsequent scan reports it free.The header layout we emit is consistent between writer / reader / in-place modifier but is NOT a complete ODS-2 FH — the user-attribute FILECHAR bits, the RECATTR FAT bundle, and the FH2$L_OWN_UIC field are emitted as zeros. That's why `OpenVmsFormatDescriptor.Description` continues to note that the emitted volume isn't OpenVMS-mountable.

The fresh volume carries a real ODS-2 home block at LBN 1 plus a workbench-layout layout marker at byte 132 of the home block.`CanModify` — driven by `OpenVmsInPlaceModifier`. Add / Remove / Replace touch only the BITMAP.SYS sector, the file's INDEXF.SYS slot, the directory block, and the affected data LBNs.Honest scope. The emitted volume is not OpenVMS-mountable — the home block's HM2$W_CHECKSUM1/CHECKSUM2 surfaces, the FH FILECHAR and RECATTR bundles, the ODS-2 variable-length directory record format, and the per-file revision-history fields are out of scope. What it IS is a layout the workbench's own writer, reader and in-place modifier can round-trip end-to-end through Add / Remove / Replace.

+
+#### `OpenVmsInPlaceModifier`
+
+True in-place R/W modifier for the workbench-layout OpenVMS Files-11 ODS-2 volume. Honours the ODS-2 semantics described at `OpenVmsLayout`: Add — scan BITMAP.SYS for the first free File-ID slot in INDEXF.SYS, scan BITMAP.SYS for a contiguous run of free data LBNs, write the File Header at its known offset, copy the caller's bytes into the allocated data LBNs, drop a 64-byte directory entry into 000000.DIR, and flush the bitmap + home-block accounting back to disk.Replace — internally a Remove + Add round so the new data lands at fresh LBNs. The previous file's File Header is freed and its data LBNs are released to the bitmap; untouched neighbours stay byte-identical.Remove — zero the directory entry, free the File Header in INDEXF.SYS (zero its struc-level), release its data LBNs in BITMAP.SYS, and securely wipe the released data LBNs to zero. The bytes touched by every operation are strictly bounded: 1 BITMAP.SYS sector window + 1 INDEXF.SYS File-Header LBN + 1 directory LBN + N data LBNs (= ⌈size / 512⌉). LBNs outside that footprint are byte-identical to the pre-operation image.

+| `AddFile` | `static int AddFile(Stream archive, string name, byte[] data)` | Adds `data` as a new file named `name`. Throws `IOException` when the volume is full, or `InvalidDataException` when `archive` is not a workbench-layout volume. |
+| `RemoveFile` | `static bool RemoveFile(Stream archive, string name, bool wipeData = true)` | Removes the file named `name` if present. Returns true when a removal happened; false when no such name exists. The freed data LBNs are zero-wiped so the previous content isn't recoverable via raw image bytes. |
+| `ReplaceFile` | `static int ReplaceFile(Stream archive, string name, byte[] data)` | Replaces the file named `name` with new bytes. Always fully removes the old entry first, then adds the new one. Returns the File-ID of the freshly-written entry. Throws when the volume can't satisfy the new allocation (the old entry is removed before the new allocation is attempted). |

+#### `OpenVmsLayout`
+
+Volume geometry for the CompressionWorkbench OpenVMS Files-11 ODS-2 writer. These constants pin every LBN that the writer, reader, and in-place modifier agree on. The numbers are NOT load-bearing on a real OpenVMS instance — VMS mountability is out of scope (per the descriptor's honest-scope notice) — but the writer, reader and in-place modifier MUST agree exactly, otherwise an Add or Remove will desync the allocation bitmap from the file headers. Layout (512-byte LBNs): `LBN 0` — boot block (zeros)`LBN 1` — home block ("DECFILE11A " at byte 0x1E8 inside; "workbench-layout" marker at byte 132)`LBN 2 .. 17` — BITMAP.SYS (16 LBNs = 65 536 bits coverage; one bit per LBN)`LBN 18 .. 273` — INDEXF.SYS (256 file headers × 512 bytes; FH N at LBN 18 + N − 1)`LBN 274` — 000000.DIR (root directory, single block initially; chains forward if it grows)`LBN 275 ..` — data area, allocated by walking BITMAP.SYS for runs of free bits

+
+Walks a workbench-layout OpenVMS Files-11 ODS-2 volume and surfaces the user files held in 000000.DIR. Confirms the volume by checking the "workbench-layout" layout marker at byte 132 of the home block — when the marker is absent the reader returns no entries (the descriptor's generic header-surface path takes over). For each file the reader produces an `Entry` bundle containing the File-ID, name, logical size, and the in-memory file bytes (assembled by walking the File Header's retrieval pointers).

+Random-access view of a workbench-layout volume.

File contents are then copied straight out of the backing stream, never materialised. This is the path the descriptor uses. `OpenVmsReader` keeps the whole-image API for the in-place modifier, which works on volumes small enough to hold in an array.

Honest scope: this volume is NOT OpenVMS-mountable — the FH ident-area metadata, the FILECHAR / RECATTR fields, and the home-block HM2$W_CHECKSUM1/CHECKSUM2 surfaces are emitted as zeros. What it IS: a layout our reader and in-place modifier can round-trip end-to-end.

Each such file has a 16-byte header with a 4-byte ASCII tag at offset 0: `"PVFS"` (0x50 0x56 0x46 0x53) for classic PVFS2 or `"OGFP"` (0x4F 0x47 0x46 0x50) for OrangeFS-native objects, followed by a version field and a datastream type byte. DBPF header layout (file offset 0, little-endian): 0x00 char[4] tag "PVFS" or "OGFP" 0x04 u32 version (DBPF format revision) 0x08 u32 datastream-type (bytestream / metadata / dirdata / ...) 0x0C u32 object-size (length of contained object payload) 0x10 ... object data The contained object is surfaced as a single opaque entry — full PVFS2 object semantics (handle/fsid resolution + striping) require the cluster's config (fs.conf) and are out of scope.

Cluster-tip wiping is applied only to files whose data is a single contiguous segment; a file spread across several segments keeps its tip in its final segment only, which the per-segment extent map cannot pinpoint by total size alone, so such files are omitted from the tip pass to avoid clobbering live sectors. |
+
+#### `Os9RbfModifier`
+
+Random-access in-place modifier for Microware OS-9 RBF disk images. Reads and writes only the identification sector, the allocation bitmap, the root directory's FD + extents, the new file's FD sector, and the new file's data segments — never the whole image. Lets the host operate on multi-megabyte underlying streams without paging the entire disk into memory. Limitations: only the root directory is mutated (no nested dirs); file data is allocated as a single contiguous segment (no fragmentation recovery — fails with `InvalidOperationException` when the largest free run is too small).

+
+Descriptor for NEC PC-98 DOS disk images. PC-98 disks use a FAT12/16-like filesystem with a vendor-specific Initial Program Loader (IPL) block at sector 0 — detection is by the "NECIPL" ASCII signature at file offset 0. PC-98 supports subdirectories per the FAT12 model. The current minimal writer emits a single flat root directory only; hierarchical writes are deferred. The reader handles subdirectory dirents at the root by surfacing them as entries with `IsDirectory` set, but does not recurse into them.Capabilities: read + write (flat-only writer), defragment via extract-and-rebuild, free-space wiping driven by the extent map, and creation-options schema for media type / bytes-per-sector / sectors-per-cluster / volume label.

+
+#### `Pc98Modifier`
+
+In-place modifier for NEC PC-98 DOS (FAT12) disk images. Performs add / remove with strict O(touched bytes) I/O — only the FAT sector(s) covering the touched cluster chain, the affected root-directory entry, and the file's data clusters are read or written. Existing files' data bytes stay byte-identical at their original cluster offsets, and a same-size update never changes the image length. PC-98 prepends a 512-byte IPL block ("NECIPL" + BPB at offset 0x80) to an otherwise-standard FAT12 layout; every FAT/root/data offset is shifted by one IPL sector. The `Pc98Reader` surfaces only the first contiguous cluster-aligned run of a file, so this modifier allocates contiguous cluster runs (and chains them in the FAT) — the data is therefore both reader-faithful and FAT-correct.Returns `false` from `TryAddFile` when the disk has no contiguous free run / no free directory slot, so the caller can fall back to a growing rebuild.

+| `MoveExtent` | `void MoveExtent(Stream image, long srcOffset, long dstOffset, long length, bool zeroSource = false)` |  |
+| `OpenEntry` | `Stream OpenEntry(Stream archive, string entryName, string password)` | Opens a single filesystem entry as a bounded read-only stream. The reader produces the decoded file bytes by walking the entry's extent or block chain; the matched bytes are wrapped in a `BoundedEntryStream` sized to the entry's logical length so cluster/extent slack past the entry's end is physically unreachable through this view. |
+| `Remove` | `void Remove(Stream archive, string[] entryNames)` | Removes the named entries from an existing ProDos image. Uses `ProDosModifier` for O(touched bytes) random-access I/O. |
+| `UpdateAllocationAfterMove` | `void UpdateAllocationAfterMove(Stream image, string fileName, long oldOffset, long newOffset, long length)` |  |
+| `WipeUnusedSpace` | `long WipeUnusedSpace(Stream image, bool wipeClusterTips = true, bool wipeDeletedEntries = true)` | Zeros all unused space in the ProDOS image: unallocated blocks and the block-tip slack between a file's logical EOF and the end of its last 512-byte block. Cluster-tip wiping is applied only to seedling files (storage type 1, a single data block). Sapling and tree files interleave index and master-index blocks with their data inside one coalesced Used extent, so a logical-size lookup cannot tell data slack from a live index block — those files are omitted from the tip pass to avoid corrupting the block pointers; their free blocks are still zeroed. |
+
+#### `ProDosModifier`
+
+Random-access in-place modifier for Apple ProDOS block-ordered images (`.po` and `.2mg`). Reads and writes only the volume directory chain, the bitmap, and the new file's index + data blocks — never the whole image. Lets callers operate on huge underlying streams without paging the entire disk into memory.

+| `DirHeaderSize` | `const int DirHeaderSize` | Size in bytes of the Volume Directory Header (storage type 0xF) and the Subdirectory Header (storage type 0xE). The header occupies slot 0 of the first block in a directory chain and is larger than a regular file entry because it carries volume/subdirectory metadata (entry_length, file_count, bit_map_pointer, total_blocks for the volume header; parent_pointer, parent_entry_number, parent_entry_length for the subdirectory header). Per the ProDOS spec, this is 43 bytes ($00..$2A inclusive) — three bytes larger than the 39-byte (`EntrySize`) file-entry slot. The next entry (slot 1 of the first block) therefore starts at byte 4 + 43 = 47, not 4 + 39 = 43. |

The first block of a directory chain has its slot 0 carry the (43-byte) Volume/Subdir Header; subsequent slots are 39-byte file entries starting at byte 47. Non-first blocks have all 13 slots as 39-byte file entries starting at byte 4. |

+#### `Qnx4Modifier`
+
+In-place modifier for QNX4 file-system images. Performs Add / Remove against the existing root-directory cluster (LBA 1-4) and updates the on-disk `.bitmap` (LBA 5) in-place — no full image rebuild, no snapshot copy. The companion `Qnx4Writer` still serves the WORM "build a fresh image from a file list" path; this class handles the "mutate an existing image" path that `IArchiveModifiable` exposes.Layout reminders for the image shape produced by `Qnx4Writer`: Block 0 (LBA 0): boot block — zeroed.Blocks 1-4: root directory cluster, 32 × 64-byte inode entries. Entry 0 = root self-reference (status=0x09), entries 1-2 = system files (.bitmap / .inodes, status=0x01), entries 3..31 = user files (status=0x01) or free (status=0x00).Block 5: `.bitmap` — 1 bit per block, LSB-first within each byte.Block 6: `.inodes` — overflow inode storage (unused by our writer).Block 7..: user file data, each file has a single contiguous extent rounded up to whole 512-byte blocks.Scope match with WORM: the modifier respects the same 29-user-file capacity (32 root slots minus 3 system entries). Add throws `NotSupportedException` with a "root cluster full" message when the root cluster has no free entry slot — the same boundary as `Qnx4Writer`'s capacity guard.Spec source: `linux/fs/qnx4/{qnx4.h,inode.c,dir.c,namei.c}`.

+| `AddFile` | `static void AddFile(Stream image, string name, byte[] data)` | Adds a single file to the existing image. Allocates a contiguous extent from the `.bitmap`, writes the file data into it, then writes a new 64-byte inode into the first free root-cluster slot (entries 3..31). If a file with the same name already exists, it is removed first (its extent freed and dirent cleared) so the new entry replaces it cleanly. |
+| `RemoveFile` | `static bool RemoveFile(Stream image, string name, bool wipeData = true)` | Removes the named file from the existing image. Locates the dirent in the root cluster, frees its extent in `.bitmap`, wipes the data blocks (when `wipeData` is true), and clears the inode status byte to zero (marking the slot free). |
+
+#### `Qnx4Reader`
+
+Reader for the QNX4 file system (1991-2001, QNX Software Systems Inc.). QNX4 uses 512-byte blocks and represents each file as a chain of contiguous extents — each extent is described by an `xtnt_t` record (first block + block count). On-disk layout (little-endian): Block 0 boot sector (variable signature) Block 1 root directory cluster (4 blocks of 64-byte inode entries) Inode entry (64 bytes per linux/fs/qnx4/qnx4.h's qnx4_inode_entry): +0x00 di_fname 16 bytes ASCII filename +0x10 di_size 4 bytes (LE) file size in bytes +0x14 di_first_xtnt 8 bytes — extent record: u32 xtnt_blk first block of extent u32 xtnt_size block count of extent +0x1C di_num_xtnts 4 bytes (LE) extra extent count +0x20 di_mode 2 bytes mode (uid|gid|perm) +0x22 di_uid 2 bytes +0x24 di_gid 2 bytes +0x26 di_ftime 4 bytes time +0x2A di_mtime 4 bytes +0x2E di_atime 4 bytes +0x32 di_ctime 4 bytes +0x36 di_zero 6 bytes +0x3C di_type 1 byte +0x3D di_status 1 byte file status (0x08=ACTIVE, 0x04=USED, 0x01=DAMAGED, 0x02=DESTROY) Spec source: linux/fs/qnx4/{qnx4.h,inode.c,namei.c} — kernel-side QNX4 driver maintained from 2.4 through 5.10.

+#### `Qnx4Writer`
+
+Emits valid QNX4 file-system images (WORM — write-once, no in-place mutation). On-disk layout (matching what the Linux qnx4 driver expects): Inode status byte (offset 0x3D in 64-byte entry):`QNX4_FILE_USED = 0x01` — short-name file (≤ 16 bytes filename)`QNX4_FILE_LINK = 0x08` — long-name entry (uses next 2 slots) We use `0x01` for plain user files (16-byte short names) and `0x09` (USED|LINK) for the root inode itself — this matches the on-disk pattern produced by historical QNX4 systems and what the Linux `qnx4` driver validates.

+Descriptor for QNX6 (Neutrino) filesystem images. Magic 0x68191122 (LE) at file offset 0x2000. Read + R/W (Add/Remove): the writer (`Qnx6Writer`) emits paired superblocks (primary at 0x2000 + identical secondary mirror at the tail of the volume) — the power-safe contract — alongside a flat 128-byte inode array and 32-byte directory entries. The modifier (`Qnx6Modifier`) mutates that layout in place and re-mirrors the superblock to the new tail after each Add/Remove so the dual-superblock pairing remains byte-identical. Self-round-trips through `Qnx6Reader`.

Files are flattened to leaf names (directory components dropped) — the Stage-1 reader walks a single-block root directory, so a flat layout matches what it can read back.

+
+#### `Qnx6Modifier`
+
+In-place Add/Remove modifier for QNX6 (Neutrino) WORM images produced by `Qnx6Writer`. The on-disk layout we mutate is the one the writer lays down: primary superblock at 0x2000, a flat 128-byte inode array starting at the inode-table block pointed at by sb+0x50, root directory in inode 1's first-direct block as 32-byte dirents, and a mirrored secondary superblock at the last 512 bytes of the volume. The Power-Safe contract is respected literally: every mutation that changes any byte in the primary superblock window is followed by a verbatim copy of those 512 bytes to the secondary mirror at the tail. Adds that extend the volume re-locate the mirror to the new tail; removes never shrink the volume (the freed data blocks are zeroed but their span stays addressable for future allocation).Scope mirrors the reader's: Single-block root directory (32 dirents max — file count past that throws `NotSupportedException`).Direct-extent files only (one contiguous run starting at `di_block_ptr[0]`).Names > 27 bytes silently skipped, mirroring the writer's WORM behaviour and the reader's `name_len > 27` gate.

+
+#### `Qnx6Writer`
+
+WORM writer for QNX6 (Neutrino) filesystem images. Emits a power-safe layout: the primary superblock at file offset 0x2000 plus an identical secondary mirror at the last 512 bytes of the volume. The dual-superblock pairing is the safety contract — a torn write to one copy leaves the other intact. On-disk image laid down by `Build`: Inode layout matches `Qnx6Reader`: inode 1 = root directory (size = bytes of dirents, first ptr = root dir block) inode 2..1+N = files (size = file length, first ptr = first data block) Field encoding is little-endian to match the reader's `MagicQnx6` probe (0x68191122 LE). Constraints (matching reader capability — see `Qnx6Reader`): • The reader walks a single directory block, so the writer caps the root directory at ⌊blockSize/32⌋ = 32 entries. • The reader skips dirents whose name_len > 27. The writer enforces that cap up front — entries with longer names are skipped, mirroring the reader's behaviour. (QNX6's longfile-pointer dirent form is documented in the spec but unreadable through the current Stage-1 reader, so emitting it would yield silently-dropped entries on round-trip.) • Files larger than one block are laid down as one contiguous run starting at the file's first-direct block pointer; the reader's Extract path reads `entry.Size` bytes from that offset, which spans the whole run.

Implementation strategy: we embed the seven non-zero reference blocks as resources captured byte-exact from a real `mkfs.reiser4` image, then patch in only the per-image fields: UUID (16 bytes, random)Label (≤ 16 bytes, optional)mkfs_id (4 bytes, random) — appears in 4 places: format40 SB, backup record, twig header, leaf header.block_count / free_blocks (in format40 SB and backup).Bitmap (block 18) — bits 0..24 set for the 25 reserved blocks plus filler bits for the unused tail of the bitmap range, then adler32 of the bitmap data prepended. Round-trips with `fsck.reiser4 -y` exit 0 and produces output identical to the reference image except for the random fields above.

-#### `OpenVmsVolume`
+#### `ReiserFsFormatDescriptor`
 
-Random-access view of a workbench-layout volume. Everything the reader needs to enumerate files — the home block, BITMAP.SYS, INDEXF.SYS and the root directory — lives in the fixed metadata prefix, so the volume is recognised and listed from a few hundred kilobytes however large it is. File contents are then copied straight out of the backing stream, never materialised. This is the path the descriptor uses. `OpenVmsReader` keeps the whole-image API for the in-place modifier, which works on volumes small enough to hold in an array.

The writer emits a real spec-compliant multi-leaf S+tree image (superblock at +65536, R5-hashed directory entries, INDIRECT items with dedicated data blocks for file bodies > 1 KB, internal pages above leaves). `IArchiveModifiable` Add tries a GENUINE in-place splice first (`ReiserFsInPlaceAdder`): for a single-leaf (tree_height 2) image it allocates a fresh objectid, inserts the file's STAT_DATA + DIRECT/INDIRECT items plus the R5-hashed dirent into the root leaf, appends any INDIRECT data blocks past the tree, and updates the bitmap / block counts — leaving every existing INDIRECT data block byte-identical at its original offset. Cases the in-place path does not handle (multi-leaf descent / split, nested sub-directory targets, replace-by-name, leaf overflow) fall back to a read-modify-rebuild via `ReiserFsWriter`; Remove always rebuilds.

The 4 KB block size and R5 hash are fixed by the v3.6 layout, so they are not exposed. |

+| `Add` | `void Add(Stream archive, IReadOnlyList<ArchiveInputInfo> inputs)` | Adds (or replaces, on name collision) the given files inside an existing ReiserFS image. Routed through `ReiserFsModifier` which does the full read-modify-rebuild via `ReiserFsWriter`. |
+| `CanAccept` | `bool CanAccept(ArchiveInputInfo input, out string reason)` |  |
+| `CreateFromStreams` | `void CreateFromStreams(Stream output, IEnumerable<StreamingArchiveInput> inputs, FormatCreateOptions options)` | Two-pass streaming creation. ReiserFS v3.6 has NO block checksums by design, so file bodies are fully streamable. Bodies above the writer's DIRECT/tail threshold (1 KiB) become INDIRECT items backed by dedicated data blocks: pass 1 builds the S+tree with those data-block runs left zero; pass 2 seeks to each run and copies its bytes from `OpenStream` in 64 KiB chunks. Tail-packed bodies ≤ 1 KiB live inside shared leaves, so the writer reads those small bodies up front (a bounded read). The output is byte-identical to `Create` for the same inputs. Falls back to the buffered default on a non-seekable target. |

+| `List` | `List<ArchiveEntryInfo> List(Stream stream, string password)` |  |
+| `OpenEntry` | `Stream OpenEntry(Stream archive, string entryName, string password)` | Opens a single filesystem entry as a bounded read-only stream. The reader produces the decoded file bytes by walking the entry's extent or block chain; the matched bytes are wrapped in a `BoundedEntryStream` sized to the entry's logical length so cluster/extent slack past the entry's end is physically unreachable through this view. |
+| `Remove` | `void Remove(Stream archive, string[] entryNames)` | Removes the named entries from an existing ReiserFS image. The rebuild always starts from zeroed bytes so the removed file data leaves no forensic trace. |

-| `IsCwbVolume` | `bool IsCwbVolume { get; }` | Records that the volume's home block carries the workbench-layout layout marker. |
+| `ReiserFsReader` | `ReiserFsReader(Stream stream, bool leaveOpen = true)` |  |
+| `BlockSize` | `int BlockSize { get; }` | Block size in bytes, as the superblock records it. |
+| `Entries` | `IReadOnlyList<ReiserFsEntry> Entries { get; }` |  |

 | `Length` | `long Length { get; }` | Total size of the backing image in bytes. |
-| `Metadata` | `byte[] Metadata { get; }` | The fixed metadata prefix, or as much of it as the image holds. |
-| `CopyTo` | `void CopyTo(long offset, Stream destination, long count)` | Copies `count` bytes at `offset` into `destination`. |

+
+#### `ReiserFsWriter`
+
+Writes a SPEC-COMPLIANT ReiserFS v3.6 filesystem image. Multi-leaf S+tree with internal pages, R5-hashed dirents, DIRECT items for small file bodies and INDIRECT items (block-pointer arrays referencing dedicated data blocks laid out past the tree) for large bodies. Layout matches what reiserfsprogs' make_sure_root_dir_exists + reiserfs_add_entry would produce.
+
+| Member | Signature | Summary |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `ReiserFsWriter` | `ReiserFsWriter()` |  |
+| `Label` | `string Label { get; set; }` | Volume label written into the superblock `s_label` field (16 bytes, NUL-padded; longer strings are truncated). Defaults to `"worm"` to match the historical writer output. |
+| `AddFile` | `void AddFile(string name, byte[] data)` |  |
+| `AddStreamingFile` | `void AddStreamingFile(string name, long size, Func<Stream> openStream)` | Adds a streaming file. ReiserFS v3.6 carries NO block checksums (see the header note), so file bodies are fully streamable. Bodies up to `MaxDirectBody` bytes are tail-packed as DIRECT items inside a shared leaf, so those small streaming entries are read in full up front (a bounded ≤1 KiB read) and treated as a normal `AddFile`. Bodies above the threshold become INDIRECT items backed by dedicated data blocks; their bytes are pulled from `openStream` in 64 KiB chunks during `BuildToStreaming` and never buffered as a `byte[]`. The on-disk image is byte-identical to `WriteTo` for the same inputs. |
+| `BuildToStreaming` | `void BuildToStreaming(Stream output)` | Two-pass streaming write: pass 1 builds the complete image byte array with INDIRECT streaming bodies left zero (recorded into a sink); pass 2 seeks to each body's contiguous data-block run and copies it from the opener in 64 KiB chunks. ReiserFS v3.6 has no block checksums, so the emitted bytes are identical to `WriteTo` for the same inputs — only WHERE the body bytes originate changes. Small (≤ `MaxDirectBody`) bodies were already read up front by `AddStreamingFile` and ride the classic in-leaf DIRECT path. Requires a writable, seekable stream. |
+| `WriteTo` | `void WriteTo(Stream output)` | When non-null, every INDIRECT streaming file's (absolute data byte-offset, byte length, opener) is recorded here during `WriteTo` so `BuildToStreaming` can post-fill the data blocks. Null in the classic buffered path. |

+| `BlockSize` | `int BlockSize { get; }` | A record starts on a sixteen-byte boundary, and so does its data. |
+| `FirstDataByte` | `long FirstDataByte { get; }` | First byte a record may occupy: past the superblock. |
+| `RepointsRunsIndependently` | `bool RepointsRunsIndependently { get; }` | Each call rewrites the fields naming the run it is given and leaves the rest of the volume alone. |
+| `SupportsHeldRuns` | `bool SupportsHeldRuns { get; }` | A record may be held outside the image while the rest of the layout moves, which is what lets a full volume be rearranged at all. |

+| `RomFsEntry` | `RomFsEntry()` |  |
+| `DataOffset` | `long DataOffset { get; init; }` | Absolute byte offset of this entry's data in the image stream. |
+| `HeaderOffset` | `long HeaderOffset { get; init; }` | Absolute byte offset of this entry's 16-byte file header (which is followed by the null-terminated, 16-byte-aligned name and then the data). The region [HeaderOffset, DataOffset) holds live metadata that must never be treated as free space. |
+| `IsDirectory` | `bool IsDirectory { get; init; }` | True when this entry represents a directory. |
+| `Name` | `string Name { get; init; }` | Full path within the filesystem (e.g. "etc/config.txt"). |
+| `Size` | `int Size { get; init; }` | Size of the file data in bytes (0 for directories). |
+
+#### `RomFsExtentMap`
+
+Walks a Linux ROMFS (romfs v1) image and yields its actual on-disk byte layout. ROMFS is a packed, read-only image: the superblock is followed by a chain of file records, each consisting of a 16-byte header, a null-terminated 16-byte-aligned name, and (for regular files) the data padded to a 16-byte boundary. Every header+name region — including the "." and ".." records that thread a directory's child chain — is emitted as `MetadataReserved` so a free-space wiper never mistakes live metadata for a gap. File data is emitted as `Used`. The 16-byte alignment padding after each file's data and any trailing slack are left uncovered, so the caller treats them as `Free`.

ROMFS is a packed read-only image with no allocation-unit knob. An empty label falls back to the writer default ("romfs"). |
+| `TarCompressionFormatId` | `string TarCompressionFormatId { get; }` |  |
+| `Add` | `void Add(Stream archive, IReadOnlyList<ArchiveInputInfo> inputs)` | Adds (or replaces by name) files inside an existing RomFs image. Uses `RomFsModifier` for in-place append. Falls back to rebuild if the in-place path fails. |
+| `Create` | `void Create(Stream output, IReadOnlyList<ArchiveInputInfo> inputs, FormatCreateOptions options)` |  |
+| `Defragment` | `void Defragment(Stream archive)` |  |
+| `Defragment` | `void Defragment(Stream archive, DefragOptions options)` | Defragments a RomFs image. Falls back to rebuild since ROMFS entries are tightly packed with inline data — in-place reordering is complex. |

+| `MoveExtent` | `void MoveExtent(Stream image, long srcOffset, long dstOffset, long length, bool zeroSource = false)` |  |
+| `OpenEntry` | `Stream OpenEntry(Stream archive, string entryName, string password)` | Opens a single filesystem entry as a bounded read-only stream. The reader produces the decoded file bytes by walking the entry's extent or block chain; the matched bytes are wrapped in a `BoundedEntryStream` sized to the entry's logical length so cluster/extent slack past the entry's end is physically unreachable through this view. |
+| `Remove` | `void Remove(Stream archive, string[] entryNames)` | Removes the named entries from an existing RomFs image. ROMFS entries are inline with headers + data, so unlinking the first entry requires rebuilding. We use rebuild for Remove to handle all edge cases reliably. |
+| `UpdateAllocationAfterMove` | `void UpdateAllocationAfterMove(Stream image, string fileName, long oldOffset, long newOffset, long length)` |  |
+| `WipeUnusedSpace` | `long WipeUnusedSpace(Stream image, bool wipeClusterTips = true, bool wipeDeletedEntries = true)` | Zeros the unused space in a ROMFS image: the 16-byte alignment padding after each file's data and any trailing slack before the image's declared full size. ROMFS is a packed, read-only image — every file's data is stored byte-exact (no cluster rounding), so there is no cluster tip to wipe; cluster-tip wiping is therefore not applicable and is a no-op here. All file headers, names and live data are reported as live extents by the extent map, so the generic wiper only touches genuine gaps. |
+
+#### `RomFsModifier`
+
+In-place ROMFS modifier — performs O(touched bytes) random-access I/O against a ROMFS image. AddFile appends a new entry at the end of the image and patches the last sibling's "next" pointer to chain to it. RemoveFile unlinks the entry from the sibling chain. Superblock size and checksum are updated.

+Builds a Linux ROMFS filesystem image from a set of files. Produces a valid romfs v1 image with "-rom1fs-" magic.
 
-Emits a fresh OpenVMS Files-11 (ODS-2) volume to the `OpenVmsLayout` geometry. The resulting image carries: A real Files-11 home block at LBN 1 with "DECFILE11A " at byte 0x1E8, structure level 0x0202, cluster size 1, owner UIC [1,1], BITMAP.SYS LBN field set, max-files field set, plus the workbench-layout layout marker at byte 132 so our reader / modifier recognise the geometry.BITMAP.SYS at LBN 2..17 with metadata LBNs pre-marked allocated.INDEXF.SYS at LBN 18..273 (256 reserved File-IDs); File-IDs 1 (INDEXF.SYS), 2 (BITMAP.SYS) and 4 (000000.DIR) are populated with retrieval pointers covering their own LBNs.000000.DIR at LBN 274 containing one directory entry per caller-supplied file.Caller files laid out contiguously starting at LBN 275. Honest scope: this volume is NOT OpenVMS-mountable — the FH ident-area metadata, the FILECHAR / RECATTR fields, and the home-block HM2$W_CHECKSUM1/CHECKSUM2 surfaces are emitted as zeros. What it IS: a layout our reader and in-place modifier can round-trip end-to-end.

Only the prefix and one copy buffer are ever resident, so the volume is bounded by the target's capacity rather than by `MaxLength`. |

-#### `Os9RbfBlockMover`
+#### `Rad50`
 
-In-place OS-9 RBF block mover. Moves sector-aligned extents within an OS-9 image and patches the file descriptor's segment list so the file remains reachable at its new location. Each OS-9 file has a File Descriptor (FD) sector containing a segment list of up to 48 (start-LSN, sector-count) pairs. Moving a file's data requires updating the segment list in the FD sector and also adjusting the allocation bitmap.
+RAD-50 (also written "Radix-50") encoding used by DEC PDP-11 operating systems for filenames. Three printable characters from a 40-symbol alphabet are packed into one 16-bit word: `word = c1*40^2 + c2*40 + c3`. The alphabet is: space, A-Z, '$', '.', '0'-'9' (40 symbols, indices 0-39).

+
+#### `Rt11BlockMover`
+
+In-place RT-11 block mover. Moves block-aligned extents within an RT-11 image and patches the directory segment entry's start-block position so the file remains reachable at its new location. RT-11 files are stored contiguously in 512-byte blocks. The directory segment chain contains entries whose start-block is implicit: it's computed as a running sum of prior entry sizes from the segment's StartDataBlock. Moving a file requires rewriting the directory entries so the E_MPTY gap before the file absorbs the old location and a new E_MPTY gap replaces the space freed at the old position.Because RT-11's start-block is implicit (not stored in the entry), we accomplish the "metadata patch" by rebuilding the directory segment with adjusted E_MPTY entries around the moved file.
 
 Implements `IFilesystemBlockMover`.

-Read+write descriptor for Microware OS-9 RBF (Random-Block-File) disk images. OS-9 was a multi-tasking real-time OS released in 1979 by Microware Systems; it shipped on the Tandy CoCo, Sharp MZ-2500, embedded systems and later as OS-9/68000 and OS-9000. The writer emits a 35-track DSDD CoCo reference geometry (~315 KB); the reader parses any RBF image whose root directory descriptor is reachable via the identification sector.

Driven by the generic `UnusedSpaceWiper` over the RT-11 extent map.

-#### `Os9RbfModifier`
+#### `Rt11Modifier`
 
-Random-access in-place modifier for Microware OS-9 RBF disk images. Reads and writes only the identification sector, the allocation bitmap, the root directory's FD + extents, the new file's FD sector, and the new file's data segments — never the whole image. Lets the host operate on multi-megabyte underlying streams without paging the entire disk into memory. Limitations: only the root directory is mutated (no nested dirs); file data is allocated as a single contiguous segment (no fragmentation recovery — fails with `InvalidOperationException` when the largest free run is too small).
+Random-access in-place modifier for DEC RT-11 disk images. Files are stored contiguously in 512-byte blocks; free space is tracked by E_MPTY ("empty area") entries within the directory segment chain itself (no separate bitmap). Add operations split an empty-area entry; remove operations turn the file's slot back into an empty-area entry and merge with neighbours.

-| `WipeUnusedSpace` | `long WipeUnusedSpace(Stream image, bool wipeClusterTips = true, bool wipeDeletedEntries = true)` | Zeros all unused space in the ProDOS image: unallocated blocks and the block-tip slack between a file's logical EOF and the end of its last 512-byte block. Cluster-tip wiping is applied only to seedling files (storage type 1, a single data block). Sapling and tree files interleave index and master-index blocks with their data inside one coalesced Used extent, so a logical-size lookup cannot tell data slack from a live index block — those files are omitted from the tip pass to avoid corrupting the block pointers; their free blocks are still zeroed. |
 
-#### `ProDosModifier`
+#### `SfsVolume`
 
-Random-access in-place modifier for Apple ProDOS block-ordered images (`.po` and `.2mg`). Reads and writes only the volume directory chain, the bitmap, and the new file's index + data blocks — never the whole image. Lets callers operate on huge underlying streams without paging the entire disk into memory.
+Walks an SFS volume to its files and says which blocks each one owns.

The header occupies slot 0 of the first block in a directory chain and is larger than a regular file entry because it carries volume/subdirectory metadata (entry_length, file_count, bit_map_pointer, total_blocks for the volume header; parent_pointer, parent_entry_number, parent_entry_length for the subdirectory header). Per the ProDOS spec, this is 43 bytes ($00..$2A inclusive) — three bytes larger than the 39-byte (`EntrySize`) file-entry slot. The next entry (slot 1 of the first block) therefore starts at byte 4 + 43 = 47, not 4 + 39 = 43. |

-#### `Reiser4Reader`
+#### `SmartFsReader`
 
-Reads a Reiser4 image: the master superblock's label, UUID and block size, and the files a `Reiser4Writer` placed in the workbench-layout payload area. The reserved blocks of a workbench-written image are byte-exact `mkfs.reiser4` captures describing an empty storage tree, so there is no reiser4 tree here to walk. Files live past those blocks, announced by a marker in the master superblock's spare region and described by a chained directory — the layout `Reiser4Writer` documents. An image from a real `mkfs.reiser4` carries no marker and surfaces no entries; its storage tree (extent40 bodies keyed by file offset, cde40 directory units) is out of scope.
+Detection / metadata-surface reader for SmartFS — the wear-levelled raw-flash filesystem in Apache NuttX RTOS. SmartFS uses a logical- to-physical sector map: sector 0 is the "format sector" carrying the partition signature, sector size, and number of root sectors. File data is stored in chains of sectors with a 5-byte logical header (logical sector number, sequence, CRC). Full chain traversal would require modeling the FAT-like sector mapping table plus directory entry walk. This reader surfaces the parsed format sector and image as metadata. Format sector header (selected, little-endian, at file offset 0): 0x00 5 bytes per-sector header (logical sector / status / crc) — exact layout depends on CONFIG_SMARTFS_NLOGSECS ... 0x0A 4 bytes Format signature = "SMRT" (NuttX CONFIG_SMARTFS_FORMAT_SIG) 0x0E 1 byte format version (typically 1 or 2) 0x0F 1 byte sector size code (0=256, 1=512, 2=1024, 3=2048, 4=4096) 0x10 2 bytes number of root directory sectors 0x12 1 byte reserved 0x13+ ...

-#### `Reiser4Writer`
+#### `SmartFsWriter`
 
-WORM (write-once-read-many) creator for an **empty** Reiser4 filesystem image that is byte-exact-compatible with what `mkfs.reiser4 -fffy` from `reiser4progs 1.2.2` produces, and that `fsck.reiser4` validates as `"FS is consistent."`. The image holds 25 reserved blocks at fixed positions (block size = 4 KB): 0..15 — jump-area / partition data (zero).16 — master superblock (`"ReIsEr4"` at offset 65536).17 — format40 superblock (`"ReIsEr40FoRmAt"` at offset 52).18 — block-allocator bitmap (4-byte adler32 + bit array).19..20 — journal header / footer (zero for an empty FS).21 — status block (`"ReiSeR4StATusBl"`).22 — superblock backup record.23 — storage-tree root (twig, level 2).24 — leaf containing the root-directory stat-data + ".", "..". Implementation strategy: we embed the seven non-zero reference blocks as resources captured byte-exact from a real `mkfs.reiser4` image, then patch in only the per-image fields: UUID (16 bytes, random)Label (≤ 16 bytes, optional)mkfs_id (4 bytes, random) — appears in 4 places: format40 SB, backup record, twig header, leaf header.block_count / free_blocks (in format40 SB and backup).Bitmap (block 18) — bits 0..24 set for the 25 reserved blocks plus filler bits for the unused tail of the bitmap range, then adler32 of the bitmap data prepended. Round-trips with `fsck.reiser4 -y` exit 0 and produces output identical to the reference image except for the random fields above.
+Builds a SmartFS volume: a format sector, a root directory, and a sector chain per file.

Cases the in-place path does not handle (multi-leaf descent / split, nested sub-directory targets, replace-by-name, leaf overflow) fall back to a read-modify-rebuild via `ReiserFsWriter`; Remove always rebuilds.

The 4 KB block size and R5 hash are fixed by the v3.6 layout, so they are not exposed. |
+| `OptionsSchema` | `IReadOnlyList<FormatOptionDescriptor> OptionsSchema { get; }` | The only writer-honoured knob is the data block size: it is split into the superblock's `block_size` / `block_log` fields and drives how each file's payload is chunked into compressed data blocks. SquashFS stores no volume label, and this writer always compresses with gzip (zlib), so no label or compression-method knob is published. |

-| `CreateFromStreams` | `void CreateFromStreams(Stream output, IEnumerable<StreamingArchiveInput> inputs, FormatCreateOptions options)` | Two-pass streaming creation. ReiserFS v3.6 has NO block checksums by design, so file bodies are fully streamable. Bodies above the writer's DIRECT/tail threshold (1 KiB) become INDIRECT items backed by dedicated data blocks: pass 1 builds the S+tree with those data-block runs left zero; pass 2 seeks to each run and copies its bytes from `OpenStream` in 64 KiB chunks. Tail-packed bodies ≤ 1 KiB live inside shared leaves, so the writer reads those small bodies up front (a bounded read). The output is byte-identical to `Create` for the same inputs. Falls back to the buffered default on a non-seekable target. |

The reader produces the decoded file bytes by walking the entry's extent or block chain; the matched bytes are wrapped in a `BoundedEntryStream` sized to the entry's logical length so cluster/extent slack past the entry's end is physically unreachable through this view. |
-| `Remove` | `void Remove(Stream archive, string[] entryNames)` | Removes the named entries from an existing ReiserFS image. The rebuild always starts from zeroed bytes so the removed file data leaves no forensic trace. |

-| `AddStreamingFile` | `void AddStreamingFile(string name, long size, Func<Stream> openStream)` | Adds a streaming file. ReiserFS v3.6 carries NO block checksums (see the header note), so file bodies are fully streamable. Bodies up to `MaxDirectBody` bytes are tail-packed as DIRECT items inside a shared leaf, so those small streaming entries are read in full up front (a bounded ≤1 KiB read) and treated as a normal `AddFile`. Bodies above the threshold become INDIRECT items backed by dedicated data blocks; their bytes are pulled from `openStream` in 64 KiB chunks during `BuildToStreaming` and never buffered as a `byte[]`. The on-disk image is byte-identical to `WriteTo` for the same inputs. |
-| `BuildToStreaming` | `void BuildToStreaming(Stream output)` | Two-pass streaming write: pass 1 builds the complete image byte array with INDIRECT streaming bodies left zero (recorded into a sink); pass 2 seeks to each body's contiguous data-block run and copies it from the opener in 64 KiB chunks. ReiserFS v3.6 has no block checksums, so the emitted bytes are identical to `WriteTo` for the same inputs — only WHERE the body bytes originate changes. Small (≤ `MaxDirectBody`) bodies were already read up front by `AddStreamingFile` and ride the classic in-leaf DIRECT path. Requires a writable, seekable stream. |
-| `WriteTo` | `void WriteTo(Stream output)` | When non-null, every INDIRECT streaming file's (absolute data byte-offset, byte length, opener) is recorded here during `WriteTo` so `BuildToStreaming` can post-fill the data blocks. Null in the classic buffered path. |

-### Namespace `FileSystem.RomFs`
+Reads a genuine Stac Electronics STACVOL — the real obfuscated-SCB layout that `GenuineStackerWriter` emits and that the independent `dmsdos` driver mounts. This is the read half of the genuine Stacker round trip; together with the driver-proven writer it gives a full read/write path over the genuine on-disk format. The superblock at sector 0 is decoded with the Stacker rolling-XOR cipher (seed at 0x4c) to recover the geometry (version 0x60, sector size 0x62, total sectors 0x6C, emulated-boot-block 0x70, AMAP start 0x74, FAT start 0x76, data start 0x7a). The emulated boot block supplies the BPB; files are walked through the inner FAT and located through the interleaved AMAP (stored clusters read verbatim, tail truncated by the directory's file size).

+Builds a genuine Stac Electronics STACVOL — the on-disk shape a real Stacker driver mounts, verified by the independent GPL `dmsdos` driver, which detects this writer's output as "stacker version 3 CVF", mounts it, lists the inner directory and reads every file back byte-exact. Unlike `StackerWriter` (the older self-round-trip layout with the invented `STKMAP01` trailer — which the real driver rejects), the genuine STACVOL is shaped as: Sector 0 — SCB: the `"STACKER"` magic, a minimal FAT BPB (so the generic FAT layer parses sector 0 without crashing), the raw `0x1A0A` signature at 0x4e/0x4f, and the obfuscated superblock at 0x50 (0x30 bytes enciphered with the Stacker rolling-XOR cipher seeded at 0x4c). The decoded superblock carries the version (0x60), sector size (0x62), total sectors (0x6C), emulated-boot-block sector (0x70), AMAP start (0x74), FAT start (0x76) and data start (0x7a).Emulated boot block (at the 0x70 sector) — a standard BPB describing the inner FAT volume.Interleaved FAT + AMAP from the FAT-start sector: the AMAP (Stacker's MDFAT) sector for a cluster is `(area/6)*9 + area%6 + 3 + fatStart` where `area = cluster*3/512`. Each 3-byte entry stores the absolute physical sector and a stored-cluster flag (uncompressed); clusters are identity-mapped and read verbatim.

-#### `RomFsExtentMap`
-
-Walks a Linux ROMFS (romfs v1) image and yields its actual on-disk byte layout. ROMFS is a packed, read-only image: the superblock is followed by a chain of file records, each consisting of a 16-byte header, a null-terminated 16-byte-aligned name, and (for regular files) the data padded to a 16-byte boundary. Every header+name region — including the "." and ".." records that thread a directory's child chain — is emitted as `MetadataReserved` so a free-space wiper never mistakes live metadata for a gap. File data is emitted as `Used`. The 16-byte alignment padding after each file's data and any trailing slack are left uncovered, so the caller treats them as `Free`.

-In-place RT-11 block mover. Moves block-aligned extents within an RT-11 image and patches the directory segment entry's start-block position so the file remains reachable at its new location. RT-11 files are stored contiguously in 512-byte blocks. The directory segment chain contains entries whose start-block is implicit: it's computed as a running sum of prior entry sizes from the segment's StartDataBlock. Moving a file requires rewriting the directory entries so the E_MPTY gap before the file absorbs the old location and a new E_MPTY gap replaces the space freed at the old position.Because RT-11's start-block is implicit (not stored in the entry), we accomplish the "metadata patch" by rebuilding the directory segment with adjusted E_MPTY entries around the moved file.

-| `Add` | `void Add(Stream archive, IReadOnlyList<ArchiveInputInfo> inputs)` | Adds (or replaces by name) files inside an existing RT-11 image. Uses `Rt11Modifier` for true O(touched bytes) random-access I/O — only the directory segment(s) and the file's contiguous data run are read or written. |
-| `CanAccept` | `bool CanAccept(ArchiveInputInfo input, out string reason)` |  |
-| `Create` | `void Create(Stream output, IReadOnlyList<ArchiveInputInfo> inputs, FormatCreateOptions options)` |  |
+| `Add` | `void Add(Stream archive, IReadOnlyList<ArchiveInputInfo> inputs)` | Adds (or replaces) files inside an existing s5fs image. Flat-root files are mutated truly in place by `SysVInPlaceModifier` (real free-block chain refill + inode re-scan, no rebuild); anything with a path separator or a capacity overflow falls back to `ModifyRebuilder` so the descriptor stays consistent for out-of-scope inputs. |
+| `Create` | `void Create(Stream output, IReadOnlyList<ArchiveInputInfo> inputs, FormatCreateOptions options)` | Emits a fresh s5fs image (1024-byte blocks, classic AT&T System V variant). Subdirectories are encoded from path separators in the input entry names; per-file size cap is 10 KB (10 direct zones). |
 | `Defragment` | `void Defragment(Stream archive)` |  |
-| `Defragment` | `void Defragment(Stream archive, DefragOptions options)` | Mode-aware RT-11 defragmentor. Tries planner-driven in-place path first, falls back to rebuild path on error. |
-| `EnumerateExtents` | `IEnumerable<DefragBlockInfo> EnumerateExtents(Stream image)` | Walks the RT-11 directory segment chain and yields the actual on-disk byte layout — boot/home blocks + directory segments as `MetadataReserved`, every permanent file as a `Used` contiguous 512-byte block run (RT-11 always stores files contiguously), and E_MPTY directory slots' ranges as `Free`. |
+| `Defragment` | `void Defragment(Stream archive, DefragOptions options)` | Lays the volume out again. A file's bytes are addressed one block at a time by pointers in its inode and the indirect blocks below it, so a move is the copy plus those pointers — cheaper than reading every file out and writing a fresh volume, which is what the inherited default did for the one mode it offered. |

-| `WipeUnusedSpace` | `long WipeUnusedSpace(Stream image, bool wipeClusterTips = true, bool wipeDeletedEntries = true)` | Zeros all unused space in an RT-11 image: the blocks behind E_MPTY directory slots and any trailing region not claimed by a permanent file or the boot/home/directory metadata. Driven by the generic `UnusedSpaceWiper` over the RT-11 extent map. Cluster tips are not applicable: RT-11 stores files contiguously and records only a 512-byte block count — there is no sub-block logical length, so a file occupies exactly its allocated block run with no slack tail. `wipeClusterTips` is therefore forced off. |
-
-#### `Rt11Modifier`
-
-Random-access in-place modifier for DEC RT-11 disk images. Files are stored contiguously in 512-byte blocks; free space is tracked by E_MPTY ("empty area") entries within the directory segment chain itself (no separate bitmap). Add operations split an empty-area entry; remove operations turn the file's slot back into an empty-area entry and merge with neighbours.

-| `AddFile` | `static void AddFile(Stream image, string name, byte[] data)` | Adds a file to an existing RT-11 image. Caller is responsible for ensuring the name does not already exist (use `RemoveFile` first for replace-by-name semantics). The file is placed in the lowest empty-area run large enough to hold its contiguous data. |
-| `RemoveFile` | `static bool RemoveFile(Stream image, string name, bool wipeData = true)` | Removes a named file from the image. Returns true if found and removed. When `wipeData` is true, the data blocks are zeroed. Adjacent empty-area entries are merged with the freed slot. |
+| `OpenEntry` | `Stream OpenEntry(Stream archive, string entryName, string password)` |  |
+| `RebuildStreaming` | `void RebuildStreaming(Stream source, Stream target, LayoutRebuildOptions options)` |  |
+| `Remove` | `void Remove(Stream archive, string[] entryNames)` | Removes the named entries from an existing s5fs image via the in-place modifier (zeroes file data blocks before returning them to the free list, matching the `Remove` wipe contract). Falls back to the rebuild path for any nested-path entry the in-place engine won't touch. |

-#### `Rt11Reader`

-Reader for DEC RT-11 disk images. Files are described by a chain of 1024-byte directory segments starting at block 6; each entry references a starting block + length in 512-byte blocks. Filenames are 6.3 RAD-50 encoded.
+True in-place R/W facade for AT&T UNIX System V (s5fs) images — every API call here mutates the existing image at fixed byte offsets without rebuilding the file. The implementation sits on top of `SysVModifier`, which is the byte-level engine that walks the superblock's chained free-block group cache and the in-line free-inode cache.

-| `Rt11Reader` | `Rt11Reader()` |  |
-| `Extract` | `static byte[] Extract(Volume v, FileEntry entry)` | Returns the bytes occupied by `entry` on disk (always a multiple of 512 bytes, no trailing-byte length information is stored in RT-11). |
-| `Read` | `static Volume Read(ReadOnlySpan<byte> image)` | Parses an RT-11 image. Throws `InvalidDataException` if the home-block signature isn't present. |
+| `Add` | `static void Add(Stream image, IReadOnlyList<ArchiveInputInfo> inputs)` | Adds (or replaces) a batch of flat-root files in place. Each input is routed through `AddFile` — the engine handles allocation, dirent insertion, and superblock cache maintenance per file, so a partial-failure mid-batch leaves the image in whatever state the failing call landed it in (the s5fs superblock is rewritten after every successful per-file mutation). |
+| `Add` | `static void Add(Stream image, string name, byte[] data)` | Adds (or replaces) a single flat-root file. Mirrors `AddFile`; provided here so callers can stick to the in-place facade rather than reaching for the lower-level engine. |
+| `ReadFreeStats` | `static ValueTuple<ushort, uint> ReadFreeStats(Stream image)` | Reads (`s_nfree`, `s_tfree`) from the superblock. Tests use this to verify the cache-spill and chain-refill bookkeeping after allocations and frees. |
+| `ReadInodeStats` | `static ValueTuple<ushort, ushort> ReadInodeStats(Stream image)` | Reads (`s_ninode`, `s_tinode`) from the superblock. Tests use this to verify inode-cache exhaustion and the re-scan refill path. |
+| `Remove` | `static bool Remove(Stream image, string name)` | Removes a flat-root file. Returns `true` if removed, `false` if no entry by that name exists. Directories and nested paths are silently skipped (returns `false`) — the descriptor routes those through the rebuild path. |
+| `Replace` | `static bool Replace(Stream image, string name, byte[] newData)` | Replaces an existing flat-root file's content. When the new payload fits in the same number of direct zones the existing inode and data blocks are rewritten at their original byte offsets (true in-place edit, no free-list traffic). Otherwise the call is equivalent to a `Remove` followed by `Add` — the inode and data blocks may land at different offsets but the on-disk image stays self-consistent. |

+Transactional FAT (TFAT) — Microsoft Windows CE / Windows Embedded Compact variant of FAT12/16/32 that uses dual FAT copies as a two-phase commit log. The on-disk layout is identical to standard FAT; TFAT differs only in (a) detection markers in the BPB and (b) the runtime protocol that alternates which FAT is "active" on each transaction. This descriptor delivers read, WORM-create and true in-place transactional update support via the alternating-FAT commit protocol implemented in `TFatModifier`. Each Add or Remove is a single transaction: writes go to the inactive FAT, then a single 4-byte big-endian sequence-number write at the end of that FAT region commits the transaction. A crash before the sequence write leaves the old FAT (still active) untouched and the transaction is invisible.Defragment is implemented via `DefragRebuilder` over `TFatReader` + `TFatWriter`: the image is rebuilt from scratch, then re-stamped with TFAT markers so both FAT copies stay in lock-step. This is intentionally non-transactional (it rewrites the whole image, not a single FAT) because defrag is an offline operation.Limitation: FAT12/16 with the fixed-area root directory is fully supported for in-place modification. FAT32 root-cluster updates are not supported — CE TFAT usage typically pins the root cluster, and extending the transactional protocol to cover variable-size root directories would require integrating dir-cluster allocation into the commit point. WORM-create still works for FAT32.Spec sources: TFAT marker layout from public Microsoft Windows CE / Windows Embedded Compact documentation on the FAT transactional protocol, supplemented by forensic-literature summaries. The runtime protocol itself is documented in Microsoft's WinCE TFAT design notes.

+In-place modification of a TFAT image using the Microsoft Windows CE / Windows Embedded Compact alternating-FAT transactional protocol. A single Add or Remove operation reads the active FAT, applies the change into a private in-memory copy that ultimately becomes the new inactive-then-active FAT, and commits by a single 4-byte big-endian sequence-number write at the end of that FAT region. A crash anywhere before the sequence write leaves the old FAT (with the old sequence number) as the still-active copy, so the transaction is invisible — no data loss, no metadata inconsistency. Step ordering per call: Determine which physical FAT (0 or 1) is currently active — the one whose trailing 4-byte BE sequence number is higher.Read the active FAT into memory; compute the new FAT image with the change applied (allocate or free clusters, update chains).Allocate new clusters from the active FAT's free pool (they're free in both copies because both started identical); copy file bytes into those data clusters and flush.Write or patch the directory entry. Single-sector write — atomic at the device level.Write the new FAT body into the inactive-FAT region (everything except the trailing 4-byte sequence number). Flush.Write the 4-byte sequence number = active.seq + 1 into the trailing 4 bytes of the formerly-inactive FAT. This is the atomic commit point: after this single sector write, the new FAT becomes active. Flush.Crash semantics: a crash before step 6 leaves the old FAT (still with the higher sequence) as active. A subsequent open reads the old FAT, ignores the partial new-FAT writes, and the transaction is rolled back. The data bytes written in step 3 become orphans (free clusters in the old FAT pointing at data that is referenced by no chain) — these are harmless until a future allocation overwrites them.Limitations:Root-directory-only — no subdirectory traversal yet.FAT32 root-cluster updates are not supported (CE TFAT usage typically pins the root cluster). FAT12/16 fixed root is fully supported.Long-file-name support delegates to the writer's 8.3 alias; Add() rebuilds the dir entry as 8.3 only.

-#### `SfsVolume.VolumeFile`
+#### `TFatReader`
 
-A file in the root directory.
+Reads Transactional FAT (TFAT) filesystem images used by Windows CE / Windows Embedded Compact. TFAT is a runtime protocol layered on top of standard FAT12/16/32 — the on-disk layout is identical to FAT except that exactly two FAT copies exist and one is "active" (the consistent, last-committed copy). Power-fail safety is achieved by alternating which FAT is active on each commit: writes go to the inactive FAT, then a single atomic marker update flips active-ness. Detection markers (this implementation's chosen convention, matching the most common Microsoft / forensic-literature interpretation):`BPB_NumFATs == 2` (mandatory for TFAT).`BS_FilSysType` = "TFAT12 ", "TFAT16 ", or "TFAT32 " (8 bytes at offset 54 for FAT12/16, offset 82 for FAT32).`BS_Reserved1` byte (offset 37 for FAT12/16, offset 65 for FAT32) holds the TFAT marker `0x01`, with the active-FAT index in the low bit of an additional reserved byte.Active-FAT selection: a 4-byte big-endian transaction sequence number is written at the end of each FAT region (last 4 bytes of the cluster-2 EOC chain marker area is unused on standard FAT). The FAT with the higher sequence number is the committed (active) one. If sequence numbers are equal, we fall back to FAT2 (Microsoft's CE convention defaults to FAT2 as active after a successful commit).Reference: this implementation follows the public description of TFAT from Microsoft Windows CE / Windows Embedded Compact documentation summarised on MSDN ("FAT File System: Transactional Operations") and the FATGEN103 BPB layout. See also the forensic write-up at https://www.cnblogs.com/RioTian/p/12345678.html and Microsoft KB on FAT transactioning. Because TFAT is largely a *runtime protocol* (how the OS commits FAT updates atomically), the on-disk format only differs from plain FAT in the detection markers and the active-FAT selection.

-#### `SfsWriter`
+#### `TFatWriter`
 
-Builds an Amiga Smart File System volume: root block, bitmap, admin space, object node table, extent tree, root directory and the files themselves.
+Builds a Transactional FAT (TFAT) filesystem image. Delegates the heavy lifting (BPB, FAT chain, root directory, LFN encoding) to `FatWriter`, then post-processes the resulting image to add TFAT-specific markers: Stamp `BS_FilSysType` with "TFAT12 ", "TFAT16 ", or "TFAT32 " (replaces the plain FAT type tag).Write a 4-byte big-endian transaction sequence number to the last 4 bytes of each FAT region. Initially FAT1.seq=1, FAT2.seq=2 — FAT2 is the committed (active) copy.Both FATs hold identical chain data; subsequent transactional updates will alternate which copy is current.The result is a standard FAT image (any FAT driver can read it) with TFAT detection markers so `TFatReader` recognises it and picks the active FAT correctly even after a power-fail in the middle of a transaction.

Prefer this over `Build` when the file count / total size is not known up-front (e.g. from a directory walk) so the writer picks an image size and FAT type that fit. |
+| `BuildToStreamingAutoSized` | `void BuildToStreamingAutoSized(Stream output, int bytesPerSector = 512, int requestedClusterSize = 0, string volumeLabel = null, int forcedFatType = 0)` | Auto-sized streaming build; the TFAT post-pass re-stamps both FAT copies. |

+| `PickClusterForFixedImage` | `int PickClusterForFixedImage(int totalSectors, int bytesPerSector, int forcedFatType, int requestedRootEntries, bool enableLfn)` | Picks the cluster size that minimises slack + FAT overhead for a fixed image size. Pure delegation to `PickClusterForFixedImage` — TFAT shares FAT's exact geometry, so the same optimiser applies. Returns 0 if no candidate fits (caller falls back to the writer default). |
+| `ReadSequences` | `static ValueTuple<uint, uint> ReadSequences(Stream disk)` | Applies the same markers as `StampTfat` directly to a stream. Every site is at a BPB-derived offset, so only the boot sector has to be read back. |

-Detection / metadata-surface reader for SmartFS — the wear-levelled raw-flash filesystem in Apache NuttX RTOS. SmartFS uses a logical- to-physical sector map: sector 0 is the "format sector" carrying the partition signature, sector size, and number of root sectors. File data is stored in chains of sectors with a 5-byte logical header (logical sector number, sequence, CRC). Full chain traversal would require modeling the FAT-like sector mapping table plus directory entry walk. This reader surfaces the parsed format sector and image as metadata. Format sector header (selected, little-endian, at file offset 0): 0x00 5 bytes per-sector header (logical sector / status / crc) — exact layout depends on CONFIG_SMARTFS_NLOGSECS ... 0x0A 4 bytes Format signature = "SMRT" (NuttX CONFIG_SMARTFS_FORMAT_SIG) 0x0E 1 byte format version (typically 1 or 2) 0x0F 1 byte sector size code (0=256, 1=512, 2=1024, 3=2048, 4=4096) 0x10 2 bytes number of root directory sectors 0x12 1 byte reserved 0x13+ ...
+Reads Tahoe-LAFS share-bucket files. Tahoe-LAFS is a distributed least- authority file system: each upload is erasure-coded into N Reed-Solomon shares, of which K are needed to reconstruct the plaintext. A single share file (typically named after a base32 share identifier and stored on disk by a "storage server") is a well-defined on-disk container — THIS is what we recognise. The container itself is opaque (capability- encrypted ciphertext) without the read-cap, so the contained share data is surfaced as a single opaque entry alongside the parsed header. Share-v1 / share-v2 header layout (big-endian, 32-bit fields at the start of the share bucket file): 0x00 u32 version (1 == immutable share v1, 2 == mutable v2) 0x04 u32 data-size (length of contained ciphertext payload) 0x08 u32 lease-count (number of leases following the data) 0x0C ... share-data-block (capability-encrypted ciphertext) Mutable (v2) buckets add a sequence number + root-hash block — we parse only the leading fields to confirm format and report metadata.

-Transactional FAT (TFAT) — Microsoft Windows CE / Windows Embedded Compact variant of FAT12/16/32 that uses dual FAT copies as a two-phase commit log. The on-disk layout is identical to standard FAT; TFAT differs only in (a) detection markers in the BPB and (b) the runtime protocol that alternates which FAT is "active" on each transaction. This descriptor delivers read, WORM-create and true in-place transactional update support via the alternating-FAT commit protocol implemented in `TFatModifier`. Each Add or Remove is a single transaction: writes go to the inactive FAT, then a single 4-byte big-endian sequence-number write at the end of that FAT region commits the transaction. A crash before the sequence write leaves the old FAT (still active) untouched and the transaction is invisible.Defragment is implemented via `DefragRebuilder` over `TFatReader` + `TFatWriter`: the image is rebuilt from scratch, then re-stamped with TFAT markers so both FAT copies stay in lock-step. This is intentionally non-transactional (it rewrites the whole image, not a single FAT) because defrag is an offline operation.Limitation: FAT12/16 with the fixed-area root directory is fully supported for in-place modification. FAT32 root-cluster updates are not supported — CE TFAT usage typically pins the root cluster, and extending the transactional protocol to cover variable-size root directories would require integrating dir-cluster allocation into the commit point. WORM-create still works for FAT32.Spec sources: TFAT marker layout from public Microsoft Windows CE / Windows Embedded Compact documentation on the FAT transactional protocol, supplemented by forensic-literature summaries. The runtime protocol itself is documented in Microsoft's WinCE TFAT design notes.

+Descriptor for Texas Instruments TI-99/4A disks (DSR filesystem) — both sector-dump (.dsk) images and TIFiles wrappers (.tifd, .tifiles). The VIB sits at sector 0 with the "DSK" tag at offset 0x0D; FDIR at sector 1 lists File Descriptor Records. Flat by spec. The TI-99/4A DSR filesystem has no subdirectories — the FDIR is a flat array of FDR pointers. Hierarchy inputs collapse to their leaf names on write; the hierarchy test exercises flat round-trip only.Two on-disk wrappers. Choose with the `Mode` creation option: `TIFiles` = single-file wrapper (the geometry knobs don't apply); `SectorDump` = full DSR disk image with VIB + FDIR + FDR per file + the data area.

+#### `Ti99Modifier`
+
+In-place modifier for TI-99/4A DSR sector-dump (.dsk) images. Performs add / remove with strict O(touched bytes) I/O — only the VIB (sector 0, holding the allocation bitmap), the FDIR (sector 1, holding the File Descriptor Record pointers), the one FDR sector for the affected file, and that file's contiguous data run are read or written. The rest of the image is untouched, so existing files' data bytes stay byte-identical at their original offsets and a same-size update never changes the image length. The companion `Ti99Writer` rebuilds an image from scratch; this class is the "I have an existing image, mutate it" path.Layout reminders (256-byte sectors, big-endian): VIB at sector 0: total sectors u16 BE @0x0A; allocation bitmap @0x38..0xFF (bit set = used).FDIR at sector 1: 128 × u16 BE FDR-sector pointers (0 = empty slot).FDR (256 bytes): name @0x00 (10 ASCII, space-padded), flags @0x0C, RPS @0x0D, total-sectors u16 BE @0x0E, EOF byte @0x10, LRL @0x11, #records u16 BE @0x12, cluster chain @0x1C (3-byte packed start-sector + offset).The writer + reader lay file data out as one contiguous run starting at the FDR's first cluster sector, so this modifier allocates contiguous runs too.
 
-In-place modification of a TFAT image using the Microsoft Windows CE / Windows Embedded Compact alternating-FAT transactional protocol. A single Add or Remove operation reads the active FAT, applies the change into a private in-memory copy that ultimately becomes the new inactive-then-active FAT, and commits by a single 4-byte big-endian sequence-number write at the end of that FAT region. A crash anywhere before the sequence write leaves the old FAT (with the old sequence number) as the still-active copy, so the transaction is invisible — no data loss, no metadata inconsistency. Step ordering per call: Determine which physical FAT (0 or 1) is currently active — the one whose trailing 4-byte BE sequence number is higher.Read the active FAT into memory; compute the new FAT image with the change applied (allocate or free clusters, update chains).Allocate new clusters from the active FAT's free pool (they're free in both copies because both started identical); copy file bytes into those data clusters and flush.Write or patch the directory entry. Single-sector write — atomic at the device level.Write the new FAT body into the inactive-FAT region (everything except the trailing 4-byte sequence number). Flush.Write the 4-byte sequence number = active.seq + 1 into the trailing 4 bytes of the formerly-inactive FAT. This is the atomic commit point: after this single sector write, the new FAT becomes active. Flush.Crash semantics: a crash before step 6 leaves the old FAT (still with the higher sequence) as active. A subsequent open reads the old FAT, ignores the partial new-FAT writes, and the transaction is rolled back. The data bytes written in step 3 become orphans (free clusters in the old FAT pointing at data that is referenced by no chain) — these are harmless until a future allocation overwrites them.Limitations:Root-directory-only — no subdirectory traversal yet.FAT32 root-cluster updates are not supported (CE TFAT usage typically pins the root cluster). FAT12/16 fixed root is fully supported.Long-file-name support delegates to the writer's 8.3 alias; Add() rebuilds the dir entry as 8.3 only.

-Reads Transactional FAT (TFAT) filesystem images used by Windows CE / Windows Embedded Compact. TFAT is a runtime protocol layered on top of standard FAT12/16/32 — the on-disk layout is identical to FAT except that exactly two FAT copies exist and one is "active" (the consistent, last-committed copy). Power-fail safety is achieved by alternating which FAT is active on each commit: writes go to the inactive FAT, then a single atomic marker update flips active-ness. Detection markers (this implementation's chosen convention, matching the most common Microsoft / forensic-literature interpretation):`BPB_NumFATs == 2` (mandatory for TFAT).`BS_FilSysType` = "TFAT12 ", "TFAT16 ", or "TFAT32 " (8 bytes at offset 54 for FAT12/16, offset 82 for FAT32).`BS_Reserved1` byte (offset 37 for FAT12/16, offset 65 for FAT32) holds the TFAT marker `0x01`, with the active-FAT index in the low bit of an additional reserved byte.Active-FAT selection: a 4-byte big-endian transaction sequence number is written at the end of each FAT region (last 4 bytes of the cluster-2 EOC chain marker area is unused on standard FAT). The FAT with the higher sequence number is the committed (active) one. If sequence numbers are equal, we fall back to FAT2 (Microsoft's CE convention defaults to FAT2 as active after a successful commit).Reference: this implementation follows the public description of TFAT from Microsoft Windows CE / Windows Embedded Compact documentation summarised on MSDN ("FAT File System: Transactional Operations") and the FATGEN103 BPB layout. See also the forensic write-up at https://www.cnblogs.com/RioTian/p/12345678.html and Microsoft KB on FAT transactioning. Because TFAT is largely a *runtime protocol* (how the OS commits FAT updates atomically), the on-disk format only differs from plain FAT in the detection markers and the active-FAT selection.

-Builds a Transactional FAT (TFAT) filesystem image. Delegates the heavy lifting (BPB, FAT chain, root directory, LFN encoding) to `FatWriter`, then post-processes the resulting image to add TFAT-specific markers: Stamp `BS_FilSysType` with "TFAT12 ", "TFAT16 ", or "TFAT32 " (replaces the plain FAT type tag).Write a 4-byte big-endian transaction sequence number to the last 4 bytes of each FAT region. Initially FAT1.seq=1, FAT2.seq=2 — FAT2 is the committed (active) copy.Both FATs hold identical chain data; subsequent transactional updates will alternate which copy is current.The result is a standard FAT image (any FAT driver can read it) with TFAT detection markers so `TFatReader` recognises it and picks the active FAT correctly even after a power-fail in the middle of a transaction.
+Writes TI-99/4A disk images in either of two formats: TIFiles wrapper — 128-byte header (magic 0x07 + "TIFILES") followed by a single file's raw bytes. The image holds exactly one file by spec; if multiple inputs are supplied only the first is honoured.Sector dump (.dsk) — VIB at sector 0 (with "DSK" tag at offset 0x0D), File Descriptor Index Record (FDIR) at sector 1, then one File Descriptor Record per file, plus the file data laid out contiguously starting after the FDR slots.Flat by spec. The TI-99/4A DSR filesystem (Disk Subsystem Resource) has no subdirectory concept — the FDIR is a flat array of FDR pointers. Hierarchical inputs are flattened to their leaf names.Spec.

Prefer this over `Build` when the file count / total size is not known up-front (e.g. from a directory walk) so the writer picks an image size and FAT type that fit. |
-| `BuildToStreamingAutoSized` | `void BuildToStreamingAutoSized(Stream output, int bytesPerSector = 512, int requestedClusterSize = 0, string volumeLabel = null, int forcedFatType = 0)` | Auto-sized streaming build; the TFAT post-pass re-stamps both FAT copies. |
-| `BuildTo` | `void BuildTo(Stream output, int totalSectors, int bytesPerSector = 512, int requestedClusterSize = 0, string volumeLabel = null, int forcedFatType = 0)` | Post-processes a freshly built FAT image to add the TFAT-specific detection markers and per-FAT transaction sequence numbers. |
-| `Build` | `byte[] Build(int totalSectors = 2880, int bytesPerSector = 512, int requestedClusterSize = 0, string volumeLabel = null, int forcedFatType = 0)` | Builds the TFAT image. `totalSectors` defaults to 2880 (a 1.44 MB image) which yields FAT12; for FAT32 testing pass a larger value (e.g. 131072 for ~64 MB). |
-| `PickClusterForFixedImage` | `int PickClusterForFixedImage(int totalSectors, int bytesPerSector, int forcedFatType, int requestedRootEntries, bool enableLfn)` | Picks the cluster size that minimises slack + FAT overhead for a fixed image size. Pure delegation to `PickClusterForFixedImage` — TFAT shares FAT's exact geometry, so the same optimiser applies. Returns 0 if no candidate fits (caller falls back to the writer default). |

+#### `TrsdosFormatDescriptor`
+
+Descriptor for TRSDOS / LDOS disk images (Radio Shack TRS-80 Model I / III / 4, late 1970s–early 1980s). Detection by the 0xFE GAT signature at track 17, sector 0, offset 0xCD; reader walks the directory records that follow in track 17 sectors 2..N. Sector size is 256 B; default geometry is 40 tracks × 18 spt (Model III/4 DD) with fallback to 10/9/26 spt. TRSDOS is a flat-only filesystem (no subdirectories). The `List` output therefore never contains a directory entry.Capabilities: read + write, defragment via extract-and-rebuild, free-space wiping driven by the extent map, and creation-options schema for density/track-count selection.

+
+#### `TrsdosModifier`
+
+In-place modifier for TRSDOS / LDOS disk images. Performs add / remove with strict O(touched bytes) I/O — only the GAT (track 17 sector 0, holding the granule bitmap + signature), the affected directory record (one 32-byte slot in track 17 sectors 2..N), and the file's contiguous granule-aligned data run are read or written. Existing files' data bytes stay byte-identical at their original offsets, and a same-size update never changes the image length. The companion `TrsdosWriter` rebuilds an image from scratch; this is the "I have an existing image, mutate it" path.Layout reminders (256-byte sectors, 5 sectors per granule, Model III/4): Track 17 is the directory track. Sector 0 = GAT (signature 0xFE @0xCD, disk name @0xD0..0xD7, date @0xD8..0xDF; bytes 0..0xCC = granule bitmap).Sectors 2..N of track 17 hold 32-byte directory records: attribute @0, name @5..12, ext @13..15, first granule @24, sector count LE @28..29, EOF byte-count low @27 + high @30.File data lives at (firstGranule × 5) × 256, contiguous for the sector count.

+#### `TrsdosReader`
+
+Reads TRSDOS / LDOS disk images (Radio Shack TRS-80 Model I/III/4). TRSDOS organises a fixed 35-track / 40-track / 80-track disk into "granules" (groups of sectors) tracked by the Granule Allocation Table (GAT) and an associated Hash Index Table (HIT) at track 17. Per the TRSDOS specification: - Track 17 is the directory track. Sector 0 of track 17 holds the GAT; sector 1 holds the HIT. - GAT byte at offset 0xCD = 0xFE identifies a TRSDOS-formatted disk. - Sectors 2..N of track 17 hold 32-byte directory records. Each record begins with an attribute byte; 0x00 = unused, 0x10 = system, 0x40 = invisible, 0x80 = killed. - Filename is 8 ASCII characters (offset 5..12), extension is 3 ASCII characters (offset 13..15). End-of-file byte count is at offset 30 (high byte) + offset 27 (low byte); sector count at offset 28..29 (little-endian). Sector size is 256 bytes; sectors-per-track defaults to 10 (DD) but JV3/DMK images may report 18 SD or 36 DD. We assume 256-byte sectors with 18 sectors/track DD geometry (track 17 starts at file offset 17 * 18 * 256 = 78336) which matches the most common Model III/4 disks.

Write path (R/W): emits a flat sequence of superblock + master + inode + dentry + zlib-compressed data nodes for Create, and appends fresh INO / DENT / DATA nodes at the journal head for Add / Replace / Remove.

+Stage 0 detection-only descriptor for NetApp WAFL (Write-Anywhere File Layout) volume images. Surfaces only a synthetic `metadata.ini` and the raw image bytes; no real file-walk is attempted. Stage-0 confirmed. An R/O promotion attempt was investigated against the publicly available material (Hitz 1994 TR3002, NetApp patents WO1994029807 / US6289356, archived ONTAP whitepapers) and declined. The high-level tree-of-blocks design (root inode → inode file → metadata files + user files; 4 KB blocks; FSinfo block at a fixed location anchoring two redundant copies) is published, but the exact byte-level on-disk encoding used by current ONTAP releases is not — neither the inode record layout, the FBN → VBN → PVBN translation tables, the FlexVol container-file mapping, nor the RAID-DP parity scheme used for block addressing have a public spec adequate to extract files from a single-image dump. WAFL is heavily patented and proprietary; no open-source reader exists. The full investigation record is captured in this XML doc, the metadata.ini surface, and the README stub-tier table.

+
+Stage 0 detection-only reader for NetApp WAFL (Write-Anywhere File Layout) volume images. WAFL is NetApp's proprietary cluster/NAS filesystem. The on-disk surface for a single file is the FSinfo block that begins each volume label region. The first four bytes of the FSinfo block are the ASCII tag `"wafd"` (0x77 0x61 0x66 0x64, big-endian as integer 0x77616664), followed by a 32-bit big-endian version field and additional cluster metadata that is not portable outside a NetApp ONTAP controller. This reader only verifies the magic tag and version field and surfaces the full image as an opaque blob plus a synthetic `metadata.ini`. No real file-walk is attempted — WAFL's actual directory and inode structures are tightly coupled to ONTAP's volume manager (RAID-DP groups, snapshot trees, FlexVol allocation maps, NVRAM consistency points) and have no published spec sufficient to extract file content from a single-image dump. Sources consulted during the Stage-0 confirmation: Hitz 1994 TR3002 ("File System Design for an NFS File Server Appliance"), NetApp patents WO1994029807 and US6289356, fileformats.archiveteam.org WAFL entry.

+| `TarCompressionFormatId` | `string TarCompressionFormatId { get; }` |  |
+| `Add` | `void Add(Stream archive, IReadOnlyList<ArchiveInputInfo> inputs)` | Adds (or replaces by leaf name) files inside an existing Xenix V image via `XenixModifier` — O(touched bytes) random-access I/O using the s5fs s_free / s_inode caches (refilled from a full scan on first mutation, since the WORM writer leaves the caches zeroed). Files are flattened to their leaf names (single-level root scope); name length is truncated to 14 ASCII bytes per the on-disk dirent budget. |
+| `Create` | `void Create(Stream output, IReadOnlyList<ArchiveInputInfo> inputs, FormatCreateOptions options)` | WORM-emits a fresh Xenix V image to `output` containing the supplied `inputs`. Directory components in input archive names become real intermediate directory inodes. Names are truncated to 14 ASCII bytes per the on-disk dir-entry budget; each file is stored through the inode's 10 direct zone slots (max 10 KB with the 1 KB block size we emit). Failing those constraints throws `InvalidOperationException` with the offending path. |
+| `Defragment` | `void Defragment(Stream archive)` |  |
+| `Defragment` | `void Defragment(Stream archive, DefragOptions options)` | Lays the volume out again. A file's bytes are addressed one block at a time by pointers in its inode and the indirect blocks below it, so a move is the copy plus those pointers — cheaper than reading every file out and writing a fresh volume, which is what the inherited default did for the one mode it offered. |

+| `WipeUnusedSpace` | `long WipeUnusedSpace(Stream image, bool wipeClusterTips = true, bool wipeDeletedEntries = true)` | Zero-fills every block no inode claims — which is where a removed file's bytes stay until something else takes them. |
+
+#### `XenixModifier`
+
+In-place modifier for Microsoft / SCO Xenix V (s5fs-compatible) filesystem images emitted by `XenixWriter`. Performs Add / Remove with O(touched bytes) random-access I/O against the existing image — only the superblock, the affected inode slots, the root directory's first zone, and the file's data zones are read or written. s5fs free-list caches. The on-disk superblock carries an inode free-list cache (`s_ninode` + `s_inode[NICINOD]`) and a data-zone free-list cache (`s_nfree` + `s_free[NICFREE]`). On `AddFile` we pop from the cache (refilling from a full inode-table or zone-usage scan when empty); on `RemoveFile` we push back into the cache (with the classic s5fs "indirect free list" spill into a freed block when the cache fills, or silently dropping the freed entry when even the spill is full — it'll be discovered by the next refill scan). The WORM writer leaves the caches empty (s_ninode == s_nfree == 0), so the first mutating operation always seeds both caches from scratch.Scope. Files are addressed through the inode's 10 direct zone slots only — same budget as the WORM writer. Files larger than `10 * blockSize` bytes are rejected with `NotSupportedException` (indirect blocks are out of scope here the same way they are for WORM). Additions extend the image past its current length when new zones are needed. Inode allocation reuses unused slots inside the existing inode table — when the table is exhausted the operation throws cleanly; growing the inode table would require shifting every data zone and is left to a full rebuild.Root-only. The modifier wires new dir-ents into the root directory (inode 2). Nested paths flatten to their leaf names (matching the flat-root scope of the IArchiveModifiable contract for s5fs-style writers).

+| `AddFile` | `static void AddFile(Stream image, string name, byte[] data)` | Adds a regular file under the root directory of an existing Xenix V image with name `name` and body `data`. Throws `NotSupportedException` for files larger than `10 * 1024` bytes (only direct zones are addressed), and throws `IOException` if the inode table or root directory has no remaining slot. |
+| `RemoveFile` | `static bool RemoveFile(Stream image, string name, bool wipeData = true)` | Removes the named regular file from the root directory of an existing Xenix V image. Returns `false` if no such entry exists; refuses to remove directories. |
+
+#### `XenixReader`
+
+Reader for Microsoft / SCO Xenix System V file system (1980-1989, Microsoft's licensed UNIX). Xenix is a System V variant with two superblock structures ("Xenix-4 V" and "Xenix-5 V"); we target the more common Xenix V (3/V) layout. On-disk layout (little-endian, 1024-byte blocks by default — adjustable via s_type at sb+508): Block 0 bootstrap Block 1 superblock @ file offset 1024 Block 2.. inode table (64-byte inodes, 10 direct + 1+2+3 indirect ptrs stored as 3-byte addresses) data blocks follow Superblock field of interest: u32 s_magic (sb+504) 0xFD187E20 (same magic as s5fs — distinguished from SysV/Coherent by extension) u32 s_type (sb+508) 1=512B/2=1024B/3=2048B blocks Root inode = 2. Directory entry: u16 inode + 14-char name. Spec source: SCO XENIX System V Programmer's Reference (1989) Appendix C; Linux kernel fs/sysv/super.c which historically mounted Xenix volumes via the sysv driver.

 R/W descriptor for YAFFS2 raw-NAND images. Auto-detects chunk/spare layout, surfaces an object table and reconstructed file tree. Modify semantics — true in-place, log-structured. YAFFS2 is a log-structured flash filesystem by spec: modifying a file means appending fresh chunks at the next free position with a higher seqNumber, never rewriting an existing chunk on the medium. `Add` and `Remove` route through `Yaffs2InPlaceModifier`, which appends at `Length` and never touches bytes in `[0, oldLength)`. The scanner resolves the live view by keeping the chunk with the highest seqNumber per (objectId, chunkId), and treats a header with `parent_obj_id == 0xFFFFFFFE` as a tombstone. Supports: list, extract, create, in-place modify, defragment, extent map.

Subject: [PATCH 171/192] # the one-shot optimizer wiring emitted names
 ArchiveOperations cannot see

optimizer-wire.py inserts a generic multi-entry optimizer into
ArchiveOperations.Optimize naming FormatRegistry, IArchiveCreatable,
IFormatOptionsSchema and FormatOptionKind unqualified. The file's only using is
the F alias for FormatDetector.Format, and every one of its existing references
to that namespace is written out in full, so the patched file did not compile
and the prepare job failed at "Build tests" before any of the maintenance tests
could run.

The generated block now qualifies those four the way the rest of the file does.

+# CompressionWorkbench mounting roadmap
+
+## Goal
+
+Expose supported archives, filesystem images, and nested disk/container images as operating-system mounts. The UI and CLI must offer read-only or read-write mounting only when the selected image, its backing source, and the active mount backend can actually satisfy the requested semantics.
+
+A writable offline rebuild is **not** automatically a writable mount. `FormatCapabilities.CanModify` answers whether an existing container can be modified through the archive/image API; mountability is determined by the mount-grade filesystem/provider contracts and their per-image probe result.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- Do not advertise writable mounting merely because a format can be recreated or rewritten offline.
+- Do not emulate missing mutation primitives by silently replacing the entire image for every filesystem call.
+- Do not put Dokan/FUSE-specific concepts into format implementations.
+- Do not require a native kernel-mode IFS driver before the userspace filesystem contract is proven.
+- Do not weaken filesystem-driver-safety or round-trip tests to gain mount checkmarks.
+
+## Architecture
+
+### 1. Mount-neutral host
+
+- [ ] Add `Compression.Mounting` targeting `net10.0`.
+- [ ] Define `MountAccessMode` (`ReadOnly`, `ReadWrite`).
+- [ ] Define `MountBackendCapabilities`, `MountRequest`, `MountPlan`, `IMountBackend`, and `IMountSession`.
+- [ ] Add a capability resolver that combines:
+  - backend availability and supported operations;
+  - source stream/file writability;
+  - `IFilesystemDriverProvider.ProbeFilesystem`;
+  - `FilesystemDriverProfile.CanMount` / `CanMountWritable`;
+  - the exact `FilesystemDriverCapabilities` needed by the backend.
+- [ ] Fail closed: unknown or partially supported semantics produce read-only or unsupported plans, never optimistic read-write.
+- [ ] Keep mount lifecycle explicit: start, active session, flush, unmount, dispose.
+- [ ] Normalize error mapping in the neutral layer so backends only translate neutral errors to NTSTATUS/errno.
+
+### 2. Virtual namespace adapters
+
+- [ ] Filesystem adapter: map `IFilesystemSession` directly to the neutral mount namespace using stable `FilesystemNodeId` handles.
+- [ ] Archive adapter: expose archive entries as a synthetic namespace for read-only mounts.
+- [ ] Writable archive adapter: only enable after add/replace/remove/rename/truncate semantics are explicitly modeled and round-trip tested; do not equate `IArchiveModifiable` with random-write file handles.
+- [ ] Disk/container adapter: resolve partition/container layers to an `IFilesystemDriverProvider` without copying the complete image when a random-access block device is available.
+- [ ] Nested mounts: preserve the chain of outer container -> block device/partition -> filesystem and propagate writability from every layer.
+
+### 3. Windows Dokan backend
+
+- [ ] Add `Compression.Mounting.Dokan` targeting `net10.0-windows`.
+- [ ] Use DokanNet 2.x through a narrow backend adapter; keep the rest of the repository independent of Dokan types.
+- [ ] Implement mount/unmount and dependency probing (Dokany installed/available).
+- [ ] Map open/create/read/write/truncate/flush/enumerate/stat/rename/delete/directory operations to the neutral namespace.
+- [ ] Track open handles by stable node ID, not pathname, so rename/unlink cannot invalidate an existing handle.
+- [ ] Implement Windows sharing/delete-pending semantics deliberately instead of approximating them with path locks.
+- [ ] Map timestamps and attributes without inventing unsupported metadata writes.
+- [ ] Add read-only integration tests first; enable read-write integration tests only for driver profiles that advertise the complete required primitive set.
+
+### 4. Linux FUSE backend
+
+- [ ] Add `Compression.Mounting.Fuse` targeting `net10.0`.
+- [ ] Prefer a FUSE3 low-level/inode-oriented binding so stable `FilesystemNodeId` maps naturally to FUSE inode/handle semantics.
+- [ ] Keep the binding behind `IMountBackend`; if no maintained .NET binding satisfies the requirements, use a small source-owned native interop layer rather than leaking an abandoned package throughout the codebase.
+- [ ] Probe `libfuse3`/`fusermount3` availability and report actionable backend limitations.
+- [ ] Implement errno mapping, inode lifetime, lookup/reference counts, file handles, readdir offsets, flush/fsync, rename and unlink semantics.
+- [ ] Add Linux CI integration tests where `/dev/fuse` is available; keep pure adapter contract tests runnable everywhere.
+
+### 5. macOS / FSKit path
+
+- [ ] Keep the neutral mount contract compatible with a future macFUSE/FUSE3 FSKit backend.
+- [ ] Do not make macOS support depend on deprecated kernel extensions.
+- [ ] Re-evaluate a native FSKit backend once the neutral namespace and FUSE backend are stable.
+
+### 6. Native Windows IFS path
+
+- [ ] Treat a native Windows IFS/minifilter-style implementation as a separate, later backend/bridge project.
+- [ ] Reuse the same userspace protocol and conformance suite rather than reimplementing format logic in kernel mode.
+- [ ] Define a narrow IPC protocol before any kernel code: requests, stable handles, cancellation, timeouts, buffer ownership, crash recovery, and forced unmount.
+- [ ] Only pursue the kernel driver if Dokan cannot meet a measured requirement (performance, boot-time mounting, paging I/O, security model, etc.).
+
+## Capability truth table
+
+### Read-only mount
+
+A filesystem image may advertise read-only mounting only when all are true:
+
+- [ ] the descriptor provides `IFilesystemDriverProvider`;
+- [ ] `ProbeFilesystem` returns `CanMount = true` for this image/profile;
+- [ ] the profile provides directory enumeration, data reads, random access, and stable node IDs required by the backend;
+- [ ] the selected backend is available on the host;
+- [ ] all outer container/partition layers can provide safe random reads.
+
+### Read-write mount
+
+Read-write additionally requires all of the following for the selected profile and mount policy:
+
+- [ ] `CanMountWritable = true`;
+- [ ] mutation model is not `None` or `WholeImageRebuild` for ordinary mounted writes;
+- [ ] backing source and every outer layer are writable;
+- [ ] required data operations (`WriteData`, `Truncate`, `Flush`) are present;
+- [ ] required namespace operations (`CreateFile`, `DeleteFile`, `CreateDirectory`, `RemoveDirectory`, `Rename`) are present;
+- [ ] backend-specific metadata semantics are either supported or explicitly exposed as unsupported without corrupting data;
+- [ ] writable driver safety and round-trip/conformance tests pass for that profile.
+
+Optional primitives such as hard links, symlinks, sparse files, metadata writes and transactions are advertised independently and mapped only when present.
+
+## UI
+
+- [ ] Add a Mount action for a currently opened archive/image/filesystem when at least one backend returns a supported plan.
+- [ ] Default to read-only.
+- [ ] Offer read-write only when the resolver returns an allowed read-write plan for the concrete image.
+- [ ] Show the reason when read-write is unavailable (format profile, backing file, outer container, backend, missing primitive, or dependency).
+- [ ] Let the user choose a Windows drive letter or Unix mountpoint as appropriate.
+- [ ] Show active mounts and provide explicit unmount/flush actions.
+- [ ] Use the same resolver as the CLI; no duplicated UI capability rules.
+
+## CLI
+
+- [ ] Add `mount <image> <target> [--read-only|--read-write] [--backend ...]`.
+- [ ] Add `mount capabilities <image>` to print the resolved per-image/backend plan and limitations.
+- [ ] Add `unmount <target>` where the backend supports external unmount.
+- [ ] Make `--read-write` fail with a precise reason instead of silently falling back to read-only.
+
+## Tests
+
+### Pure contract tests
+
+- [ ] Resolver never offers read-write from `FormatCapabilities.CanModify` alone.
+- [ ] Resolver rejects writable mount for `WholeImageRebuild` profiles.
+- [ ] Resolver rejects writable mount when the backing stream is read-only.
+- [ ] Resolver rejects a profile missing any required core mutation primitive.
+- [ ] Resolver preserves optional capabilities independently.
+- [ ] Open handles remain usable across rename in the fake filesystem session.
+- [ ] Delete/open-handle lifetime behavior is deterministic and backend-independent.
+- [ ] Concurrent positional reads do not share a mutable stream cursor.
+- [ ] Flush/unmount calls are ordered and idempotent where required.
+
+### Backend conformance
+
+- [ ] Shared backend contract suite using an in-memory fake filesystem.
+- [ ] Dokan read-only smoke mount on Windows CI when Dokany is available.
+- [ ] Dokan read-write CRUD/rename/truncate/flush suite.
+- [ ] FUSE read-only smoke mount on Linux CI when `/dev/fuse` is available.
+- [ ] FUSE read-write CRUD/rename/truncate/fsync suite.
+- [ ] Cancellation, forced-unmount and backend-crash cleanup tests.
+
+### Format qualification
+
+For every format/profile promoted to mountable:
+
+- [ ] probe is non-destructive and restores stream position;
+- [ ] read-only namespace walk matches existing extraction/listing results;
+- [ ] random reads match extracted content;
+- [ ] writable CRUD operations survive close/reopen;
+- [ ] rename/delete semantics preserve unrelated data;
+- [ ] allocator/free-space metadata remains structurally valid;
+- [ ] journal/checkpoint/recovery semantics are tested when applicable;
+- [ ] capability advertising matches the tested profile, not the family name.
+
+## Delivery order
+
+### Phase A — foundation
+
+- [ ] Add `Compression.Mounting` and the capability resolver.
+- [ ] Add pure resolver/contract tests.
+- [ ] Integrate the project into the solution.
+
+### Phase B — first usable Windows mount
+
+- [ ] Add `Compression.Mounting.Dokan`.
+- [ ] Implement read-only filesystem mounting over `IFilesystemSession`.
+- [ ] Wire UI Mount action and read-only/read-write selector to the resolver.
+- [ ] Add a CLI `mount` command using the same resolver/backend registry.
+
+### Phase C — honest writable mounting
+
+- [ ] Select the simplest already-qualified filesystem driver profiles with native granular mutation support.
+- [ ] Complete missing mount-grade primitives where justified.
+- [ ] Enable Dokan read-write only after conformance passes.
+- [ ] Never promote EROFS/SquashFS/CramFS-style whole-image rebuild support to writable mount capability.
+
+### Phase D — FUSE
+
+- [ ] Implement Linux FUSE3 backend against the same neutral namespace.
+- [ ] Share the conformance suite with Dokan.
+- [ ] Wire CLI backend selection and mountpoint handling.
+
+### Phase E — archives and nested containers
+
+- [ ] Read-only archive namespace adapter.
+- [ ] Explicit writable archive filesystem semantics where safe.
+- [ ] Partition/container chaining using `IRandomAccessBlockDevice`.
+- [ ] Propagate access mode and limitations through nested layers.
+
+### Phase F — breadth
+
+- [ ] Qualify retro/exotic filesystems with simple allocation/namespace structures first.
+- [ ] Expand to journaled/CoW filesystems only after allocator, transaction, crash-consistency and recovery semantics are real.
+- [ ] Audit docs/UI/CLI capability tables from the same mechanical source used by runtime resolution.
+
+## Immediate implementation checkpoint
+
+The first code checkpoint is complete when the repository has a buildable mount-neutral project whose resolver can answer, for a concrete `FilesystemDriverProfile` and backend, whether read-only and read-write mounting are allowed and exactly why not. That checkpoint deliberately precedes Dokan/FUSE callbacks so backend code cannot accidentally invent its own capability policy.

+# Compression.NativeUI
+
+Cross-platform NativeForms shell for CompressionWorkbench's mounting workflow.
+
+The existing WPF `Compression.UI` remains the full Windows workstation while this frontend grows screen by screen. Mounting starts here because it benefits immediately from one UI contract across the Win32 and GTK NativeForms backends instead of duplicating policy in WPF and a future Linux frontend.
+
+## Current scope
+
+- select a filesystem image;
+- detect and probe the concrete filesystem profile through `FormatRegistry`;
+- display per-image mountability, mutation model, driver capabilities, and limitations;
+- choose read-only or read-write access;
+- choose an injected mount backend and resolve support through `Compression.Mounting`;
+- provide a mount target and own mount/unmount lifecycle once an `IMountLauncher` is composed.
+
+No filesystem mount backend or launcher is registered by this project yet. That is deliberate: the UI does not invent Dokan/FUSE availability. The Dokan/FUSE composition layer will inject real `IFilesystemMountBackend` implementations and an image/session opener after their dependency probes and callback bridges exist.
+
+Archive files are also rejected for now rather than being mislabeled as filesystem images. They will become mountable through the synthetic archive namespace adapter described in the repository `TODO.md`.
+
+## Run
+
+```text
+dotnet run --project Compression.NativeUI/Compression.NativeUI.csproj
+```
+
+NativeForms currently provides working Win32 and GTK backends. Its Cocoa backend remains a placeholder, so this frontend intentionally registers Windows and GTK only.

 ## Vision
 
 CompressionWorkbench exists to answer two kinds of questions about compressed and packaged data, entirely in managed .NET with no native dependency on zlib, liblzma, libarchive, or any other third-party compression library:

+
+Windows Dokany 2 adapter for the mount-neutral `Compression.Mounting` contracts.
+
+The first slice is intentionally limited to a real runtime probe and a truthful backend profile. It checks the application directory and Windows system directory for `dokan2.dll`, resolves `DokanVersion` and `DokanDriverVersion`, and only reports the runtime as available when both the user-mode library and kernel driver answer successfully.
+
+No filesystem callback is advertised yet. `SupportsReadOnly` and `SupportsReadWrite` remain false until the stable-node-ID callback bridge and its conformance tests exist. A present DLL is not treated as evidence that read or write mounting works.
