Part 04 of 20 in the DSPX-2604 re-cut. Base branch: main.

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

Reader.ReadAt derived every segment's plaintext extent from
manifest.DefaultSegmentSize, assuming a uniform stride. The TDF manifest
records a per-segment Size and does not require the segments to be equal
sized, and sdk/experimental/tdf already emits variable-length segments.
Against such a payload the uniform stride selects the wrong segment
(wrong bytes returned, no error) or slices past the decrypted buffer.

Walk manifest.Segments accumulating seg.Size instead. WriteTo already
walked cumulative sizes; the two now agree.

That promotes Segment.Size to sole control of the offset mapping, so
check it before trusting it. Nothing authenticates Size -- the root
signature aggregates only Segment.Hash -- and a manifest that understates
one segment shifts every plaintext offset after it, returning the wrong
bytes under a valid signature. AES-GCM frames each segment with a 12-byte
nonce and a 16-byte tag, so the plaintext size is pinned by the ciphertext
size: every segment now has to satisfy that relation, which is the
per-segment form of the check doPayloadKeyUnwrap already applies to the
manifest defaults. Segments the request skips over are checked too, since
their declared sizes still position everything that follows them.

SDK.CreateTDF only ever emits uniform segments, so the mapping bug is not
reachable through it. The non-uniform tests build the archive directly on
internal/zipstream and fail before this change.

Peeled out of the DSPX-2604 stack; it stands on its own.

Testing Instructions

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

New coverage, all in sdk/tdf_readat_test.go:

  • TestReaderReadAtNonUniform / ...Edges / TestReaderNonUniformSeekReadWriteTo
    build the archive directly on internal/zipstream with segment shapes
    CreateTDF cannot emit, and sweep every (offset, length) pair. These fail
    before this change and pass after.
  • TestReaderReadAtDeclaredSizeMismatch tampers with a declared Segment.Size
    (understated, overstated, and negative-with-overflow) and requires
    ErrSegSizeMismatch. Understating the size of a segment the read skips over
    is the case that silently returned shifted plaintext.
  • Test_TDFReaderReadAtBoundaries and
    Test_TDFReaderMultiSegmentSeekReadWriteTo probe every segment boundary of a
    genuinely multi-segment TDF built through the ordinary
    CreateTDF -> LoadTDF -> key-unwrap path.

The last two replace an earlier tdf_test.go sweep over segment sizes
1/2/7/62/64, which tested nothing: WithSegmentSize clamps up to
minSegmentSize (16 KiB), so all five iterations built the same
single-segment TDF and no interior boundary was ever crossed. The
replacements assert the segment shape they depend on so they cannot
degenerate the same way, and they no longer touch tdf_test.go.

Reviewable in parallel right now, since they sit directly on main and depend on
nothing else: 01, 02, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08.

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), which touch
the KAS wire format, and 04, which tightens what the Go reader will accept from a
manifest another SDK wrote.

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

Walkthrough

Reader.ReadAt now uses each segment’s plaintext size to map reads across non-uniform segments. It validates segment metadata and documents offset and EOF behavior. New tests cover malformed layouts, boundaries, multi-segment TDF creation, and consistency with other reader methods.

Changes

Non-uniform segment reading

Layer / File(s) Summary
Per-segment ReadAt mapping
sdk/tdf.go
ReadAt tracks plaintext and ciphertext offsets for each segment, validates declared sizes, handles boundary conditions, and checks copy bounds.
Non-uniform ReadAt validation
sdk/tdf_readat_test.go
Tests cover ascending, descending, empty, uniform, and short-tail layouts, including EOF, invalid offsets, zero-length reads, and size mismatches.
Multi-segment TDF integration
sdk/tdf_readat_test.go
Tests create multi-segment TDFs through the KAS path and compare ReadAt, Seek, Read, and WriteTo results at segment boundaries.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 9967b

This change improves variable-sized TDF segment reads, but its new negative-size test references unavailable symbols and will fail to compile until it expects the implemented ErrSegSizeMismatch behavior.

Poem

A rabbit maps each segment bright
With careful bounds from left to right
Short tails no longer cause a fright
EOF now lands where it should alight
Tests hop across each boundary
And guard the plaintext carefully

segmentSize and encryptedSegmentSize are optional per-segment overrides:
manifest.schema.json requires only the integrityInformation defaults, and
web-sdk omits the per-segment keys whenever they equal the default, so
every web-sdk container over one segment failed to decrypt in go-sdk.
Fall back to the manifest defaults in the payload-size computation,
WriteTo and ReadAt.

Rebased onto #3933 (map ReadAt plaintext offsets from cumulative segment
sizes), which rewrote ReadAt's segment lookup from a uniform
DefaultSegmentSize stride to a walk over each segment's actual
plaintext/ciphertext size -- necessary for the non-uniform segments
sdk/experimental/tdf can emit. Reconciling the two surfaced a further
bug: resolveSegmentSizes treated a per-segment size of 0 as "omitted,
use the default" independently for Size and EncryptedSize, but JSON
can't distinguish an omitted key from an explicit 0, and go-sdk's own
CreateTDF already writes segmentSize: 0 for the sole segment of an
empty-payload TDF (no omitempty on the field). That made an empty TDF
round-trip to the wrong payloadSize.

resolveSegmentSizes now resolves EncryptedSize first -- its zero value is
never ambiguous, since ciphertext can never legitimately be zero bytes --
and disambiguates a zero Size by comparing the resolved EncryptedSize
against DefaultEncryptedSegSize rather than assuming Size and
EncryptedSize are only ever omitted together. Checking go-sdk, java-sdk
and web-sdk's actual manifest-writing source confirmed go-sdk and
java-sdk always set both fields together (so a joint-zero assumption
happened to hold for them), but web-sdk's lib/tdf3/src/tdf.ts decides
whether to omit segmentSize and encryptedSegmentSize with two independent
equals-the-default comparisons, not one joint check -- so a joint-zero-
only version would have mis-resolved a segment where only one of the two
happened to be omitted. The corrected comparison needs no assumption
about the cipher's per-segment overhead (nonce/tag size stays out of
manifest.go entirely): the overhead is constant across every segment in
one manifest, so if the resolved EncryptedSize equals its default, the
plaintext size must too, regardless of what that overhead number
actually is.

Also gives calculateSignature's too-short-ciphertext-for-GMAC error
(previously a bare, unclassified error) a proper ErrTampered-wrapped
sentinel, consistent with the rest of this file's integrity failures.

Verified against opentdf/tests' DSPX-4592-java-underflow branch (adds
test_tdfs.py::test_chunky_roundtrip, a 5 MiB round-trip that forces a
full-default-sized segment): with platform-ref and otdfctl-ref both
pointed at this branch and XT_FORCE_SUPPORTS=chunky, js-encrypt ->
go-decrypt passes (js omits per-segment sizes on the full-sized segment;
go now defaults them back). The one remaining failure in that run,
js-encrypt -> java-decrypt, is java-sdk's own pre-existing GMAC-on-empty-
segment bug (DSPX-4589), unrelated to this change.

Note on #3933 standalone: without this fix, #3933's cumulative-walk
ReadAt uses seg.Size directly, so an omitted (0) per-segment size stalls
the plaintext cursor and desyncs the ciphertext offset for every segment
after it. Reading a web-sdk multi-segment file then fails with a
misleading "tamper detected: failed integrity check on segment hash"
instead of main's current (also broken, but at least consistent)
"fail to create gmac signature". #3933 should not be merged or relied on
standalone for real multi-segment interop until this lands on top of it.

The zip64/ZIP64-conformance findings originally bundled with this change
(findings 1-6 of the DSPX-4590 investigation) now live in a separate PR
stacked on top of this one, since they are independent of the segment-
size defaulting fixed here.

Comment thread sdk/tdf_readat_test.go Outdated
Reader.ReadAt derived every segment's plaintext extent from
manifest.DefaultSegmentSize, assuming a uniform stride. The TDF manifest
records a per-segment Size and does not require the segments to be equal
sized, and sdk/experimental/tdf already emits variable-length segments.
Against such a payload the uniform stride selects the wrong segment

Walk manifest.Segments accumulating seg.Size instead, and return
ErrSegSizeMismatch when a segment's declared Size disagrees with what it
actually decrypts to rather than panicking on the slice. WriteTo already
walked cumulative sizes; the two now agree.

SDK.CreateTDF only ever emits uniform segments, so this is not reachable
through it -- the new sweep over segment sizes 1/2/7/62/64 is regression
coverage and passes before and after. The non-uniform tests build the
archive directly on internal/zipstream and fail before this change.

segmentSize and encryptedSegmentSize are optional per-segment overrides:
manifest.schema.json requires only the integrityInformation defaults, and
web-sdk omits the per-segment keys whenever they equal the default, so
every web-sdk container over one segment failed to decrypt in go-sdk.
Fall back to the manifest defaults in the payload-size computation,
WriteTo and ReadAt.

Rebased onto #3933 (map ReadAt plaintext offsets from cumulative segment
sizes), which rewrote ReadAt's segment lookup from a uniform
DefaultSegmentSize stride to a walk over each segment's actual
plaintext/ciphertext size -- necessary for the non-uniform segments
sdk/experimental/tdf can emit. Reconciling the two surfaced a further
bug: resolveSegmentSizes treated a per-segment size of 0 as "omitted,
use the default" independently for Size and EncryptedSize, but JSON
can't distinguish an omitted key from an explicit 0, and go-sdk's own
CreateTDF already writes segmentSize: 0 for the sole segment of an
empty-payload TDF (no omitempty on the field). That made an empty TDF
round-trip to the wrong payloadSize.

resolveSegmentSizes now resolves EncryptedSize first -- its zero value is
never ambiguous, since ciphertext can never legitimately be zero bytes --
and disambiguates a zero Size by comparing the resolved EncryptedSize
against DefaultEncryptedSegSize rather than assuming Size and
EncryptedSize are only ever omitted together. Checking go-sdk, java-sdk
and web-sdk's actual manifest-writing source confirmed go-sdk and
java-sdk always set both fields together (so a joint-zero assumption
happened to hold for them), but web-sdk's lib/tdf3/src/tdf.ts decides
whether to omit segmentSize and encryptedSegmentSize with two independent
equals-the-default comparisons, not one joint check -- so a joint-zero-
only version would have mis-resolved a segment where only one of the two
happened to be omitted. The corrected comparison needs no assumption
about the cipher's per-segment overhead (nonce/tag size stays out of
manifest.go entirely): the overhead is constant across every segment in
one manifest, so if the resolved EncryptedSize equals its default, the
plaintext size must too, regardless of what that overhead number
actually is.

Also gives calculateSignature's too-short-ciphertext-for-GMAC error
(previously a bare, unclassified error) a proper ErrTampered-wrapped
sentinel, consistent with the rest of this file's integrity failures.

Verified against opentdf/tests' DSPX-4592-java-underflow branch (adds
test_tdfs.py::test_chunky_roundtrip, a 5 MiB round-trip that forces a
full-default-sized segment): with platform-ref and otdfctl-ref both
pointed at this branch and XT_FORCE_SUPPORTS=chunky, js-encrypt ->
go-decrypt passes (js omits per-segment sizes on the full-sized segment;
go now defaults them back). The one remaining failure in that run,
js-encrypt -> java-decrypt, is java-sdk's own pre-existing GMAC-on-empty-
segment bug (DSPX-4589), unrelated to this change.

Note on #3933 standalone: without this fix, #3933's cumulative-walk
ReadAt uses seg.Size directly, so an omitted (0) per-segment size stalls
the plaintext cursor and desyncs the ciphertext offset for every segment
after it. Reading a web-sdk multi-segment file then fails with a
misleading "tamper detected: failed integrity check on segment hash"
instead of main's current (also broken, but at least consistent)
"fail to create gmac signature". #3933 should not be merged or relied on
standalone for real multi-segment interop until this lands on top of it.

The zip64/ZIP64-conformance findings originally bundled with this change
(findings 1-6 of the DSPX-4590 investigation) now live in a separate PR
stacked on top of this one, since they are independent of the segment-
size defaulting fixed here.

### Proposed Changes

Adds otdfctl/pkg/streamio, holding the input and output plumbing that
the
streaming encrypt and decrypt work needs, and migrates `inspect` onto it
so
nothing is left calling the buffered helpers it supersedes.

This is groundwork with one user-visible consequence: `inspect` no
longer
reads the whole TDF into memory. Everything else is a move.

Why a new package rather than pkg/cli. The helpers in pkg/cli/pipe.go
call
ExitWithError -- which calls os.Exit -- from inside the read, so they
cannot
be used from anywhere that wants to handle the failure itself, and they
read
the entire input into memory. streamio returns errors and leaves the
decision
to exit with the command layer.

What moved in:

- PipeReader establishes whether stdin is a non-empty pipe with a
one-byte
    Peek instead of a read, so the payload still reaches the caller.
- Spool copies a pipe to a temporary file and rewinds it. A TDF's
manifest
sits at the end of the archive, so decrypt and inspect have to seek and
    cannot consume a pipe directly.
  - OpenSeekable resolves "file argument or piped stdin" to one seekable
    handle, reporting ErrNoInput for the shared "nothing to read" case.
- OutputFile writes to a temporary sibling of the destination and
renames it
into place on Commit, so a failed run leaves no partial output. The temp
file is a sibling so the rename stays atomic rather than degrading to a
    cross-filesystem copy.

Per review feedback on #3921:

- readPipedStdin now delegates its detection to streamio.PipeReader
rather
than answering "is there piped input?" a second way. Its read is still
unbounded; the callers that must stop buffering are changed separately.
- pkg/cli/pipe.go is deprecated rather than deleted, since the package
is
exported and may have callers outside this repository. Worth noting that
ReadFromFile has no size cap at all -- not even the 10 GB the tdf
commands
    apply -- which is its own argument for the notice.

InspectTDF takes an io.ReadSeeker instead of a byte slice. GetTdfType
already
rewinds to the start, so the reader is positioned for LoadTDF. Because
cli.ExitWithError calls os.Exit and skips deferred functions, inspectRun
invokes cleanup explicitly on every exit path, including the successful
one:
piped input is spooled to disk and the temp file would otherwise
survive.

### Checklist

- [x] I have added or updated unit tests
- [ ] I have added or updated integration tests (if appropriate)
- [ ] I have added or updated documentation

### Testing Instructions

```
cd otdfctl && go test ./pkg/streamio/... ./cmd/... -race
```

`inspect` is the only command migrated in this PR; check it still reads
both a
file argument and piped stdin, and that no `otdfctl-spool-*` file
survives
either run.

**Reviewable in parallel right now**, since they sit directly on `main`

**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

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

## Summary by CodeRabbit

- **New Features**
- Added reliable support for inspecting TDF content from files, piped
input, and standard input.
- Added safer output handling that prevents incomplete files from
replacing existing results.
- Added clearer input errors when no content is provided or an input
cannot be opened.

- **Bug Fixes**
  - Improved handling of large and non-seekable input streams.
- Preserved piped input correctly while processing and inspecting
content.
- Non-fatal inspection issues are now reported as warnings where
possible, allowing processing to continue.

### Proposed Changes

`sdk/experimental/tdf` carried its own copies of the manifest and
assertion
types -- `Manifest`, `Segment`, `KeyAccess`, `Assertion`, `Statement`,
`AssertionKey` and the rest -- structurally identical to the ones in
`sdk`
but distinct to the type system, so anything crossing the boundary
needed
conversion. Two copies of the JWT signing and verification logic also
had
to be kept in step by hand.

Replaces both files' definitions with type aliases. `sdk` owns the
definitions; this package re-exports them. Every exported name and every
method survives: `Assertion.Sign` / `Verify` / `GetHash`,
`Statement.UnmarshalJSON`, `AssertionKey.IsEmpty` / `Algorithm`,
`AssertionVerificationKeys.Get` / `IsEmpty` and the five `String()`
methods
all come along with the aliased types, so importers compile unchanged. A
manifest produced here can now be handed to the stable SDK without
conversion, which is what the follow-up delegation needs.

Two deliberate non-aliases:

`Policy`, `PolicyBody` and `PolicyAttribute` stay local.
`sdk.PolicyObject`
declares `Body` as an anonymous struct over an unexported element type,
so
there is no nameable sdk equivalent to alias to. Exporting those in
`sdk`
first would make the alias possible; that is a separate change.

`IntegrityAlgorithm` stays a distinct `int` type.
`sdk.IntegrityAlgorithm`
is itself `= int`, so no method can be attached to it, and aliasing
would
silently drop `String()` from this package's public API. The underlying
values match, so the two convert freely.

`kSplitKeyType`, `kPolicyBindingAlg`, `kGMACPayloadLength` and
`calculateSignature` are retained verbatim: this package still builds
its
own manifests and they have callers in `writer.go` and `key_access.go`.
The change that removes those callers removes these too.

No behavior change. The package's existing tests pass unmodified.

### Checklist

- [ ] I have added or updated unit tests
- [ ] I have added or updated integration tests (if appropriate)
- [ ] I have added or updated documentation

### Testing Instructions

```
cd sdk && go test ./experimental/... -race
```

No behavior change — the point is that the package's existing tests pass
unmodified against aliased types.
