Part 19 of 20 in the DSPX-2604 re-cut. Base branch: dspx-2604-base-19.

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

DSPX-4499 fixed encrypt's OOM by streaming, but CreateTDF still required an
io.ReadSeeker, so piped stdin had to be spooled to a temporary file first. That
traded the whole-payload allocation for a disk write and a writable TMPDIR --
better, but not the point. Now that CreateTDF takes an io.Reader, the pipe goes
straight to the SDK.

A file is still opened seekably, on purpose. The SDK measures a seekable
payload and keeps the archive in the compact ZIP32 layout; an unmeasurable one
has to be ZIP64, because the choice is baked into the payload's local file
header before the first segment goes out. So encrypt file.txt is unchanged
byte for byte, and ... | encrypt produces a slightly larger TDF than it did
when it was spooled. That is the trade, and it is the right way round: nobody
should need a writable temp directory to encrypt a stream.

MIME sniffing is what made this more than a deletion. It reads the first
megabyte and previously seeked back to zero, which a pipe cannot do. Wrapping
the input in a bufio.Reader is not an option either -- that hides the Seeker
and would silently flip every file encrypt to ZIP64. detectMimeType now returns
a reader alongside the type: the same reader for a seekable input, rewound; the
sniffed prefix pushed back with io.MultiReader for anything else. A megabyte in
memory at most, and only when --mime-type was not given.

Testing: TestDetectMimeTypePreservesThePayload now runs each case twice, once
over a reader whose Seek method is hidden, and asserts the payload arrives
whole either way. TestDetectMimeTypeKeepsSeekability guards the ZIP32 layout
directly, since nothing else would fail if a file came back wrapped. e2e gains
"encrypt measures a file and streams a pipe", which reads the local file
header's extra field length to tell the two layouts apart -- both forms
round-trip, so a quiet return to spooling would show up nowhere else.

Testing Instructions

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

e2e, against a running platform:

cd otdfctl && bats e2e/streaming.bats

The file is tagged payload_streaming and runs in its own pass ahead of the
parallel batch — see #3939 for why that ordering is load-bearing (the platform
base key key-base.bats sets cannot be un-set, and breaks every unattributed
encrypt scheduled after it).

The case to look at is encrypt measures a file and streams a pipe, which
asserts the ZIP layout rather than the round trip: a file must stay ZIP32
(extra field length 0 at offset 28 of the payload's local file header) and a
pipe must be ZIP64 (non-zero). A quiet return to spooling would show up nowhere
else, since both forms round-trip fine.

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). 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.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Encryption now supports piped and other non-seekable input, including larger streams.
    • Inputs that cannot be measured in advance produce ZIP64 output; seekable files continue to use ZIP32 when applicable.
    • Regular-file redirects can be read directly without being copied to a temporary file.
    • Decryption now supports TDFs supplied through pipes and redirects.
    • Encrypted output remains compatible with the existing decryption flow.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The encryption handler and CLI accept non-seekable readers. MIME detection preserves the payload, and regular-file inputs remain seekable without spooling. Tests cover reader behavior, ZIP32 and ZIP64 output, and decryption.

Regular-file input handling
otdfctl/pkg/streamio/input.go, otdfctl/pkg/streamio/input_test.go, otdfctl/cmd/tdf/decrypt.go, otdfctl/cmd/tdf/inspect.go
PipeReader and OpenSeekable return regular-file input directly. Genuine streams are spooled when seekable input is needed. Tests cover file offsets, empty input, zero-size readable files, and cleanup. Comments clarify input cleanup and spooling.
Reader contract and MIME detection
otdfctl/pkg/handlers/tdf.go, otdfctl/cmd/tdf/encrypt.go, otdfctl/cmd/tdf/encrypt_test.go
Handler.Encrypt accepts io.Reader. MIME detection preserves the full payload and retains seekability when possible. Tests cover reader shapes, offsets, read errors, and MIME fallback.
CLI encryption and streaming validation
otdfctl/cmd/tdf/encrypt.go, otdfctl/cmd/tdf/encrypt_test.go, otdfctl/e2e/streaming.bats
The CLI passes piped encryption input directly and opens named files for input. Failure paths clean up input and partial output. Tests cover input resolution, ZIP32 and ZIP64 output, and round-trip decryption.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to ef448

Readable files that report zero size are no longer treated as absent input. The change is mergeable after normal checks.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to ef448

Streaming removes the need for temporary plaintext storage. It also means a failed input stream can leave partial encrypted bytes on stdout or another direct destination. Ordinary output files remain protected from publication on failure; no new authorization bypass was established.

Retained concerns

  • Low · reliability · observed: Without the pre-encryption spool, an input read error after segment writing begins can leave partial encrypted output on stdout or a direct destination. Ordinary file destinations are discarded instead of committed; the remaining exposure depends on how direct-output consumers handle failure.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The newly exposed partial-output failure window is confined to an invocation’s direct output stream or destination; the inspected path does not add authority to the handler or SDK.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — An input source that fails after earlier segments were emitted can leave incomplete encrypted bytes with a direct-output consumer. The SDK does not finalize that archive, and no downstream consumer that accepts it as valid was established.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Untrusted input remains a reader passed through the handler. For measurable input, the SDK limits reads to the measured size and rejects an early end; for unmeasurable input, normal EOF defines the payload boundary.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Failure cleanup protects ordinary named-file destinations, but direct output remains non-transactional. Abrupt termination also cannot run deferred cleanup of an unfinished temporary output.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Where a workflow requires proof that a stream contained its intended full payload, supply an independently known length or digest and require consumers to check successful completion rather than treating EOF or received stdout bytes as that proof.

⚠️ Govulncheck found vulnerabilities ⚠️

The following modules have known vulnerabilities:

  • otdfctl
  • service
  • tests-bdd

See the workflow run for details.

DSPX-4499 fixed encrypt's OOM by streaming, but CreateTDF still required an
io.ReadSeeker, so piped stdin had to be spooled to a temporary file first. That
traded the whole-payload allocation for a disk write and a writable TMPDIR --
better, but not the point. Now that CreateTDF takes an io.Reader, the pipe goes
straight to the SDK.

What is spooled is decided by what the fd actually is, not by which argument it
arrived through. A file argument and a shell redirect from a regular file both
seek, so both reach the SDK unwrapped; only a genuine stream is buffered. The
SDK measures whatever it can seek, and under ~2 GiB that keeps the archive in
the compact ZIP32 layout; an unmeasurable payload has to be ZIP64, because the
choice is baked into the payload's local file header before the first segment
goes out. So `encrypt file.txt` and `encrypt < file.txt` are unchanged byte for
byte, and `... | encrypt` produces a slightly larger TDF than it did when it was
spooled. That is the trade, and it is the right way round: nobody should need a
writable temp directory to encrypt a stream.

Measurability is worth a second thing the archive layout does not show: the SDK
fails a measured payload whose reader runs dry early, rather than returning a
TDF that is silently short. A pipe has no declared length to check against.
handlers.Handler's Encrypt is now the one place that states both, including that
sdk.WithInputSize could restore the check for a caller who knows the length and
that otdfctl does not expose it.

The same distinction reaches decrypt and inspect, which spool because a TDF's
manifest lives at the end of the archive. A redirect from a regular file is
seekable already, so they read it in place rather than copying the whole TDF
into TMPDIR to get a seekable view of it.

MIME sniffing is what made this more than a deletion. It reads the first
megabyte and previously seeked back to zero, which a pipe cannot do. Wrapping
the input in a bufio.Reader is not an option either -- that hides the Seeker and
would silently flip every file encrypt to ZIP64. detectMimeType now returns a
reader alongside the type: the input itself, restored to the offset it was
handed over at, when it can be; the sniffed prefix pushed back with
io.MultiReader when it cannot. A megabyte in memory at most, and only when
--mime-type was not given. Restoring the saved offset rather than seeking to
zero matters once a redirect stays seekable: stdin arrives part-consumed
whenever a wrapper reads a header before exec'ing us, and the payload is what
remains, not the whole file.

Rewindability is decided by attempting the seek, not by asserting io.Seeker. An
*os.File on a FIFO, a process substitution, or /dev/stdin on the end of a pipe
satisfies the interface and then returns ESPIPE, and treating that as fatal made
`encrypt <(echo hi)` fail while `encrypt --mime-type text/plain <(echo hi)`
succeeded -- a manifest-shaping flag deciding whether the command ran at all. A
failed lseek leaves the offset untouched, so replaying the prefix is always
correct. resolveInputSize in sdk/tdf.go already drew the same line.

Input resolution moves into resolveEncryptInput so the ZIP32 invariant can be
asserted without a running platform. That invariant lives in encryptRun, not in
detectMimeType: anything wrapping the file between there and CreateTDF would
flip every file encrypt to ZIP64 with the unit suite still green. encryptRun
probes it the same way the SDK does, so the "this will be ZIP64" breadcrumb is
logged once and is right whether or not detection ran -- --mime-type skips
detectMimeType entirely, and that was the path on which an input that satisfies
io.Seeker and then refuses reached the SDK unremarked.

Testing: TestDetectMimeTypePreservesThePayload runs each case over all three
reader shapes -- rewindable, Seek hidden, Seek refused with ESPIPE -- asserting
both that the payload arrives whole and that only the first comes back
measurable. Cases added for a payload of exactly the sniff window, the shortest
input that fills the buffer and the boundary at which replaying the prefix could
duplicate or drop a byte; for a reader handed over mid-payload, which must be
restored to where it was rather than to zero; and for a read that fails partway,
which must abort rather than encrypt a truncated payload.
TestDetectMimeTypeKeepsSeekability guards the ZIP32 layout directly, since
nothing else would fail if a file came back wrapped. streamio gains regular-file
stdin coverage it never had: the file comes back unwrapped with its offset
untouched, an empty or fully-consumed one still reports absent, and OpenSeekable
hands it over without creating a spool.

e2e gains "encrypt measures a file and streams a pipe", which reads the local
file header's extra field length to tell the two layouts apart -- both forms
round-trip, so a quiet return to spooling would show up nowhere else -- now
covering the redirect alongside the file and the pipe. A process-substitution
case covers the ESPIPE path end to end, with and without --mime-type, which unit
tests can only reach through a hand-written fake. The multi-segment case uses a
real pipe rather than a redirect, since a redirect is now measured; 3 MiB clears
the SDK's 2 MiB segment size, so the archive spans several segments whose hashes
have to be combined on the way out and verified on the way back in. Decrypt from
stdin is split into a piped case, which still spools and must remove the spool,
and a redirect case, which no longer spools at all. extra_field_len fails rather
than returning a number when it cannot read a full header: empty od output makes
bash evaluate the arithmetic to 0, which is exactly the value the ZIP32
assertion passes on, so a missing archive would have looked like a pass.
