Part 10 of 20 in the DSPX-2604 re-cut. Base branch: dspx-2604-09-stream-encrypt.

This stack replaces #3782 / #3865 / #3921, which stay open and untouched
until it lands. Nothing here is a rebase of those branches — the work was
re-cut from the ticket so each PR stands on its own.

Proposed Changes

otdfctl decrypt read the whole TDF into memory, handed the slice to
DecryptBytes, which accumulated the whole plaintext in a bytes.Buffer, and then
-- for stdout -- called Buffer.String(), allocating a third full copy. Peak RSS
was roughly 3.6x the payload; a 1 GiB file cost ~3.7 GiB of RAM and a large
enough file simply OOMed on a machine with plenty of disk for it.

The plaintext now streams from the SDK reader to the destination. Handler.Decrypt
takes an io.ReadSeeker and an io.Writer, with DecryptOptions replacing the
positional parameter list, and inspect reaches the manifest through the same
seekable reader rather than buffering the archive to get at its tail.

io.Copy is what does the streaming, and it does so only because sdk.Reader
implements WriteTo, which decrypts one segment at a time. Its Read delegates to
ReadAt, which grows an internal bytes.Buffer holding every segment decrypted so
far -- so dropping WriteTo would silently restore the old memory profile with no
test failure to show for it. A compile-time assertion pins the interface.

Removes MaxFileSize. The 10 GB cap existed to bound RAM; the real limit is the
SDK maxFileSizeSupported at 64 GiB, which enforces itself.

Output to a file is atomic, as on the encrypt side: the plaintext goes to a
temporary sibling and is renamed into place only on success. Since
cli.ExitWithError calls os.Exit and skips deferred functions, the spooled input
and the partial output are discarded explicitly on every exit path -- including
inspect's success path, which exits through ExitWithJSON.

e2e coverage lands in a new otdfctl/e2e/streaming.bats rather than in
encrypt-decrypt.bats, which carries a file-level skip pending the
namespaced-subject-mappings migration and would have swallowed the new cases
without running them. Nothing in the new file needs an entitlement, so it needs
no policy fixtures: the round-trips use no attributes, and the two failure cases
are forced with an unresolvable attribute FQN and a KAS allowlist that excludes
the platform. As of this change it is the only e2e coverage of encrypt, decrypt
and inspect that actually executes in CI.

The file is tagged payload_streaming and action.yaml gives it its own pass
ahead of the parallel batch. That ordering is load-bearing, not tidiness. An
encrypt with no attributes falls back to the platform base key, and
key-base.bats sets one pointing at https://test-kas-for-base-keys.com, which
does not resolve. It cannot put things back afterwards: a base key can be
replaced but never cleared, so every unattributed encrypt scheduled after that
file yields a TDF nothing can decrypt. Under --jobs 4 the file order is
nondeterministic, so overlapping the two made this suite flaky rather than
merely broken -- which is how it presented, a different subset of round-trips
failing per run. Running alone also keeps the 1 GiB peak-RSS case from
measuring itself against three neighbours competing for the same memory.

That leak is worth closing on its own -- encrypt-decrypt.bats walks into it the
day its skip is lifted -- but the fix belongs with the file that opens it
rather than here.

Testing Instructions

cd otdfctl && go test ./... -race

e2e, against a running platform:

cd otdfctl && bats --tap e2e --filter-tags payload_streaming

The first CI run of this file failed 308–311 and 317, all of them the cases
that need a successful decrypt. Cause was not the code under test: an encrypt
with no attributes falls back to the platform base key, and key-base.bats
sets one pointing at https://test-kas-for-base-keys.com, which does not
resolve — and cannot unset it, because a base key can only be replaced. Under
--jobs 4 the file order is nondeterministic, so which subset failed varied
per run. Fixed here by tagging the file payload_streaming and giving it its
own pass before the parallel batch. Tag arithmetic checks out: 14 + 10 + 330 =
354, the same total as before.

The memory case needs GNU time (gtime on macOS) and skips without it. It
allocates a 1 GiB file; peak RSS was ~3.6 GiB per command before this change
and the assertion threshold is 512 MiB.

Why three PRs have a dspx-2604-base-* base. A GitHub PR takes one base branch,
but 11, 17 and 19 each build on more than one parent. The base-* branches are empty
merge commits that exist only to join those parents so the PR diff shows exactly its
own change and nothing else. They contain no code, have no PR of their own, and go
away once their parents land — retarget the child onto main at that point.

Wants a cross-SDK xtest run before merge: 15, 17 (and therefore 20). They touch
the KAS wire format.

Red checks you may see are network flakes, not this stack. Four distinct ones hit
this batch and all clear on re-run: golangci-lint config verify timing out on
https://golangci-lint.run/.../golangci.v2.8.jsonschema.json (fails the whole go (<module>) job and fail-fast cancels its siblings), the bats installer getting a 403,
Docker Hub timing out on keycloak/keycloak:26.4, and buf reporting "the server
hosted at that remote is unavailable" while the Java SDK generates sources. The
govulncheck step also emits ##[error] annotations against the go1.25.11 stdlib, but
it is continue-on-error: true and never fails a job — 01 bumps the toolchain and
clears those annotations.

Walkthrough

TDF decryption now reads seekable input and streams plaintext to stdout or managed output files. Handler APIs, direct-destination handling, cleanup behavior, and validation coverage were updated.

Changes

Streaming decryption

Layer / File(s) Summary
Handler streaming API
otdfctl/pkg/handlers/tdf.go, otdfctl/pkg/handlers/tdf_test.go
DecryptBytes was replaced by Decrypt, which accepts seekable input and an output writer. Decryption options, validation, error handling, and streaming enforcement were added.
Stream output destinations
otdfctl/pkg/streamio/output.go, otdfctl/pkg/streamio/output_unix_test.go
OutputFile now writes directly to devices, FIFOs, and symlinks when rename is not suitable. Temporary files remain the path for regular and missing destinations.
CLI streaming flow
otdfctl/cmd/tdf/decrypt.go, otdfctl/cmd/tdf/tdf.go
The decrypt command uses OpenSeekable, streams through handlers.Decrypt, commits successful output, and explicitly cleans up on errors. Buffered stdin and file reads were removed.
Streaming workflow validation
otdfctl/e2e/streaming.bats, otdfctl/e2e/action.yaml, otdfctl/e2e/encrypt-decrypt.bats
Tests cover round trips, inspection, empty input, failed-operation cleanup, existing-file preservation, direct destinations, peak memory, and ordered test execution.

`otdfctl decrypt` read the whole TDF into memory, handed the slice to
DecryptBytes, which accumulated the whole plaintext in a bytes.Buffer, and then
-- for stdout -- called Buffer.String(), allocating a third full copy. Peak RSS
was roughly 3.6x the payload; a 1 GiB file cost ~3.7 GiB of RAM and a large
enough file simply OOMed on a machine with plenty of disk for it.

The plaintext now streams from the SDK reader to the destination. Handler.Decrypt
takes an io.ReadSeeker and an io.Writer, with DecryptOptions replacing the
positional parameter list, and inspect reaches the manifest through the same
seekable reader rather than buffering the archive to get at its tail.

Measured on a 1 GiB round-trip: encrypt peaks at 74 MiB and decrypt at 67 MiB,
against ~3754 MiB and ~3808 MiB before. The round-trip is byte-identical.

io.Copy is what does the streaming, and it does so only because sdk.Reader
implements WriteTo, which decrypts one segment at a time. Its Read delegates to
ReadAt, which grows an internal bytes.Buffer holding every segment decrypted so
far -- so dropping WriteTo would silently restore the old memory profile with no
test failure to show for it. A compile-time assertion pins the interface.

Removes MaxFileSize. The 10 GB cap existed to bound RAM; the real limit is the
SDK maxFileSizeSupported at 64 GiB, which enforces itself.

Output to a file is atomic, as on the encrypt side: the plaintext goes to a
temporary sibling and is renamed into place only on success. Since
cli.ExitWithError calls os.Exit and skips deferred functions, the spooled input
and the partial output are discarded explicitly on every exit path -- including
inspect's success path, which exits through ExitWithJSON.

A destination a rename cannot stand in for -- /dev/null, a fifo, a symlink the
caller means to write through -- is opened and written directly instead.
decrypt's -o was a plain os.Create before this change, and `-o /dev/null` is a
routine way to time a decrypt or check one succeeds without keeping the
plaintext; the atomic path alone would have regressed both.

The output file mode is deliberately left as it is. #4037 turns it into a
per-caller parameter and #4046 applies it through the umask, which is a better
answer for the hardcoded 0644 inherited here than anything this PR could do in
passing.

e2e coverage lands in a new otdfctl/e2e/streaming.bats rather than in
encrypt-decrypt.bats, keeping the streaming concerns -- spooling, temp output,
peak memory -- apart from that file's entitlement fixtures. Nothing in the new
file needs an entitlement, so it needs no policy fixtures: the round-trips use
no attributes, and the failure cases are forced with an unresolvable attribute
FQN and a KAS allowlist that excludes the platform.

Both that file and encrypt-decrypt.bats are tagged unattributed_encrypt, and
action.yaml gives the tag its own pass ahead of the parallel batch. That
ordering is load-bearing, not tidiness. An encrypt with no attributes falls back
to the platform base key, and key-base.bats sets one pointing at
https://test-kas-for-base-keys.com, which does not resolve. It cannot put things
back afterwards: a base key can be replaced but never cleared, so every
unattributed encrypt scheduled after that file yields a TDF nothing can decrypt.
Under --jobs 4 the file order is nondeterministic, so overlapping the two made
this suite flaky rather than merely broken -- which is how it presented, a
different subset of round-trips failing per run. Running alone also keeps the
1 GiB peak-RSS case from measuring itself against three neighbours competing for
the same memory.

encrypt-decrypt.bats is tagged for the same reason. #4042 lifted its file-level
skip, and its very first case is an unattributed round-trip, so it now races
key-base.bats for a slot in the parallel batch and fails whenever it loses.
That it passes today is an accident of bats scheduling files alphabetically.
The underlying leak is still worth closing in key-base.bats.

action.yaml also installs the 'time' package, and the peak-RSS case now fails
rather than skips when CI lacks GNU time. It is the only test that demonstrates
the fix, so a silent skip would let a return to whole-payload buffering through.

Signed-off-by: Dave Mihalcik <dmihalcik@virtru.com>
DecryptOptions replaced Decrypt's positional parameter list, which made the
zero value reachable for the first time: every caller of DecryptBytes had been
forced to pass a session key algorithm, but a struct literal can now omit one.
Decrypt forwarded the field unconditionally, so an omitted algorithm reached
sdk.WithSessionKeyType as the empty string, and ocrypto.NewKeyPair rejects it --
"newTDFReaderConfig failed: failed to create RSA key pair: unsupported key
type:", raised while building the config, before the TDF is read at all.

The option is now only appended when the field is set. The SDK already defaults
kasSessionKey to RSA-2048 when the option is absent, which is the algorithm
decryptRun asks for anyway, so the CLI path is unchanged; what changes is that
DecryptOptions{} means "SDK default" rather than "empty algorithm", matching the
KASAllowList field beside it.

The CLI fills the field in on every path, so this is latent today -- it is the
cost of the struct: a zero value that no positional signature could express is
now constructible, and each field has to say what its zero value means. The
same trap exists on the encrypt side, where an unset WrappingKeyAlgorithm fails
with "key type missing"; that field predates this PR and is left alone here.

Reject output paths that alias the decrypt input. OpenSeekable opens input.tdf before decryptRun calls NewOutputFile for -o output-symlink. Because isDirectDestination uses os.Lstat, the symlink takes the direct path. os.OpenFile then follows the symlink with O_TRUNC, which truncates the already-open input before h.Decrypt reads it. Decryption therefore receives an empty or damaged input, and the source file is lost. Detect this alias in decryptRun before calling NewOutputFile; do not change the generic symlink write-through behavior in streamio.OutputFile.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Use an opaque temporary prefix.

Line 66 includes the destination basename in the temporary filename. On a filesystem with a 255-byte component limit, a valid 255-byte destination name produces an overlong temporary component and NewOutputFile fails before decryption starts. Use a fixed prefix and retain the random suffix.

Proposed fix
-	f, err := createTemp(filepath.Dir(path), "."+filepath.Base(path)+".tmp-", mode)
+	f, err := createTemp(filepath.Dir(path), ".otdfctl.tmp-", mode)

Based on learnings: temporary names must not derive from user-supplied or original filenames.

Is this prefix extremely stable and something we want to have a client depending on outside the SDK?
