A tar.gz cut short loses the share of its files asked for - #240
--damage truncate now cuts the files inside a tar.gz by the percentage asked for, compressed or not. Before, a tar.gz kept its padding in the gzip header in front of everything, and above what the header holds in an entry behind the files, so a cut of any share took all of a small archive's files or none of a large one's.
An archive a damage will cut is laid out so the cut lands at the same share of the files as of the whole archive. gzip's own writer compresses the tar as one stream, so this archive is framed by hand to RFC 1951 and RFC 1952 - still one gzip member and one deflate stream:
padding in front of the files in the gzip extra field, and above that in an entry tfg-padding.bin in front of the files;
the files, stored, or compressed by a fresh compressor that ends with a sync flush, so how long they come to does not depend on what stands in front of them and one measuring pass finds it;
the rest of the padding in an entry behind the files (tfg-padding-end.bin when one stands in front), and the last bytes in the deflate frame of the tar's end marker: stored blocks for steps of five bytes, one to three empty blocks of fixed codes for the rest. The tar stays whole 512 byte blocks with nothing after its end marker.
Every part ends on a byte, so the manifest's cut states content_bytes for compressed archives too, where before the whole compressed stream counted as content.
Files nothing cuts are byte for byte unchanged by the layout.
Breaking, in its own commit: the gzip extra field now carries at most 16 KiB of padding. busybox 1.37 (Alpine) refuses a longer one as corrupted data - 16 384 B opens and 16 385 B does not - so every tar.gz 16 KiB to 64 KiB larger than its files, the default 64 KiB one among them, could not be opened in an Alpine container. Those archives change bytes. The changelog has the entry, and the one golden case they move is re-measured.
Measured
Share lost, asked 1 / 50 / 90%: 64 KiB 50.01-50.02% and 90.01-90.02%, 1 MiB 1.00-1.01%, 50.01-50.02%, 90.01-90.02%. Stored, compression=best, and two levels of directories with directory entries.
Uncut tar.gz against main: 84 of 84 cases the same before the busybox commit (stored, fast, best, default, no entries, nested directories, 4 KiB-10 MiB). After it, only the 64 KiB stored archives differ.
The whole archive laid out for a cut, 18 of them: the structural checker passes all, and Python tarfile, GNU gzip, GNU tar, bsdtar, 7-Zip, Go, Node, Java and .NET read each as they read the uncut one. busybox in Alpine 3.22 reads all 18 (12 before the busybox commit).
A 1 MB tar.gz cut by 50%: GNU tar -xzf gives back 3 584 of the 8 192 B of the file inside, then stops at the unexpected end.
Limits
In a small archive a cut of a few percent is shorter than the tar's end marker and the gzip trailer behind the files (1 037 B), so it falls there, every file is kept, and the manifest says in: end. The share guard accepts this because POSIX tar puts the end marker after every entry and RFC 1952 closes a member with its trailer.
A frame costs a few bytes more than the smallest stored archive. An archive within those bytes of its minimum is written as one nothing cuts, with no padding to move. So is one exactly one byte over the frame's floor without a label: that byte can only go to the comment, as a space behind the label.
When the padding behind the files is 1 to 4 or 8 bytes past the frame's floor, no frame takes it and it goes in front, so the cut takes up to 4 bytes more of the files.
Also in this PR
An Office document cut at its smallest says how long its parts were (its own commit, first on the branch). A docx, xlsx or pptx cut short at a size too small for a padding part in front of its parts reported content_kept_bytes without content_bytes, although the length was known. Now it reports both, as the larger sizes did. The share guard's exception for a cut that falls in the end also checks the cut's offset against the whole file's map, not only the manifest's in.
After the review: the size one byte over the frame's floor without a label ended in an internal defect, and the map reader looped on a deflate stream that ends inside a code and on a tar size below zero. Fixed, each with a guard that is red without the fix.
Guards
targz leaves the ratchet of formats that do not yet cut at the share, and joins the formats whose end closes the file.
internal/oracle/layout.py reads deflate blocks itself (a Huffman decoder that only counts lengths), so the map guard holds a compressed archive's parts to its structure.
New TestATarGzLaidOutForACutComesToEverySizeAndReads: 64 consecutive sizes, every frame of the end marker met, each archive read through compress/gzip and archive/tar, with a canary stream built by hand.
Broken by hand, each turned a guard red: the content marked a byte late, compressed files measured a byte long, nothing put in front, the map reader reading a compressed stream as content regardless of its blocks, the map reader not knowing tfg-padding-end.bin, a frame a byte short, and an empty block's type bit one place off. The frame a byte short passed the share and map guards, which is why the new guard exists.
A Word, Excel or PowerPoint document too small for a padding part in front
of its parts was written as one nothing cuts, and its parts were marked
with no length. The writer stops at the cut, before the mark that would
end them, so the manifest of a docx cut by half at 610 to 660 B stated
where the cut fell and how much it kept, but not how long the content was.
The parts are now marked with their length whether or not a padding part
stands in front. The bytes written are unchanged.
A new guard cuts every format that takes the share by half at its smallest
size and requires the content's length, equal to how far the whole file's
map runs the content. It asserts that the ZIP packages reach the layout
with no padding part in front.
The share guard's exception for a cut in the end of a ZIP package now asks
the whole file's map whether the cut offset lies in an end region, rather
than trusting where the manifest says the cut fell.

A tar.gz kept its padding in the gzip header, in front of everything,
and above what the header holds in a filler entry behind the files. Cut
at any share, a small archive lost all of its files and a large one
lost padding and none of them.
An archive a damage cuts is now laid out for the cut
(format.Request.CutAt): padding in front of the files in the extra field
and, above it, an entry of its own, and the rest behind them, so the cut
keeps the share of the files it keeps of the whole. gzip.Writer
compresses the tar as one stream, so this archive is framed by hand to
RFC 1951 and RFC 1952: one member, one deflate stream, each part in
stored blocks of its own and the files, when squeezed, through a fresh
compressor ended with a sync flush. Each part ends on a byte, so the map
gives the files' length, a squeezed archive's included, and the files
are squeezed once to measure them rather than settled over rounds.
The tar stays whole blocks with nothing after its end marker, as POSIX
and strict.py have it. The last bytes behind land in the deflate frame:
the marker in as many stored blocks as take the rest in steps of five,
and one to three empty blocks of fixed codes for the remainder. The few
rests no frame takes go in front, so the cut takes up to four bytes more.
The map's reader in layout.py now decodes deflate blocks, to find where
each part starts in a squeezed stream rather than reading it all as
content. tar.gz leaves the list of formats not yet cut at the share and
joins those whose end closes the file. Files nothing cuts write the same
bytes as before, stored and squeezed.

busybox 1.37, the gzip and tar of Alpine, reads a gzip header into a
buffer of 16 KiB and refuses a longer extra field as corrupted data:
16 384 B opens and 16 385 B does not. The extra field carried up to
65 531 B of padding, so every tar.gz whose header carried 16 385 to
65 533 B - the default 64 KiB archive among them - could not be opened
in an Alpine container.
The field now carries at most 16 384 B, and padding past that goes to
the filler entry behind the files, as it already did above the old
limit. Those archives change bytes, which is a breaking change with its
entry in the changelog and the one golden case it moves re-measured.
Every other tar.gz writes the same bytes, compressed ones included.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The last bytes behind the files of an archive laid out for a cut land in
the deflate frame around the end of archive marker: stored blocks for
steps of five bytes, and one to three empty blocks of fixed codes for
the rest. Which frame an archive takes follows its size, and the share
and map guards ask for too few sizes to meet every one - a frame a byte
short passed both.
The new guard writes 64 consecutive sizes cut half way, holds each to its
size and to compress/gzip and archive/tar, and asserts it met the marker
in plain stored blocks and behind one, two, three, and one and then two
empty blocks. Its canary is a stream built by hand that compress/flate
inflates to the bytes it holds.

Tar.gz generation now limits gzip header padding and supports cut-specific archive layouts. Content-region mapping and cut validation also change, including updates to OPC content-length markers.
Changes: Archive cuts and content mapping
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Padding limit and archive construction CHANGELOG.md, internal/format/targz/compress.go, internal/format/targz/size.go, internal/format/targz/targz.go, internal/guard/testdata/generator-golden.json
The gzip extra-field padding limit changes to 16,384 bytes, with additional padding assigned to a filler entry. Tar sizing and archive construction use helpers for directories, files, and filler entries. The golden data records the updated measurement.
Tar.gz cut layout and writing CHANGELOG.md, internal/format/targz/cut.go, internal/format/targz/targz.go, internal/format/targz/filemap.go, internal/guard/targzcut_test.go
Tar.gz planning now records cut positions and lays out frames. When a frame is active, writing emits the cut-specific archive layout, with padding around file content. Tests check requested sizes, archive readability, and DEFLATE block patterns.
OPC content markers use the measured content length when available. The oracle parses DEFLATE blocks to map tar parts. Guard tests check content lengths, cut locations, and end-region handling.
One narrow tar.gz truncate case can fail with an internal error instead of producing a file. The test-side layout checker can also hang on a malformed archive. Neither affects ordinary output, so the change is mergeable with these follow-ups.

Full details: Title check
Explanation
The title "A tar.gz cut short loses the share of its files asked for" describes the main change: --damage truncate on tar.gz archives now removes the requested share of files instead of losing it to padding. The changeset (targz cut layout, cut.go, guard tests) matches this. It is specific and says what changes for the user. It does not name the compatibility change (padding limit reduced to 16 KiB), but the title is not required to cover every aspect. It is 57 characters, under the ~140 limit.
Full details: Tests For Changed Behavior
Explanation
Summary: The PR changes non-UI runtime behavior in Go and Python code. It adds or updates tests that cover that behavior. It also changes some existing test expectations, and the PR description justifies those changes. Behavior changed: - internal/format/targz/cut.go (new, about 580 lines) lays out tar.gz archives for cuts. - targz.go, size.go, compress.go and opc.go change padding, planning and content-length handling. - internal/oracle/layout.py changes the DEFLATE map reader. Tests added or updated (confirmed in the checkout): - internal/guard/targzcut_test.go: new TestATarGzLaidOutForACutComesToEverySizeAndReads and TestATarGzCutNearItsSmallestComesToEverySize. - internal/guard/cutmanifest_test.go: TestACutAtTheSmallestSizeSaysHowLongTheContentWas and related manifest tests. - internal/guard/cutshare_test.go: TestACutTakesTheShareOfTheContentItIsAskedFor updated for the new end-region rule. - internal/guard/mutationcoverage_test.go: probe records for the new tests. Existing test changes: - targz is removed from notYetCutAtTheShare and listedBeforeTheRule, and added to endClosesTheFile. The front tar.gz case in cutmanifest_test.go now expects the cut in content. This weakens no assertion. It follows the behavior change. - The PR description explicitly justifies this. It says targz "leaves the ratchet of formats that do not yet cut at the share, and joins the formats whose end closes the file." Deletions and skips: - No test was deleted. The t.Skip calls found in internal/guard have environmental messages. They are not clearly introduced by this PR, and the diff was not available to confirm. Limit: I did not have the base-to-head diff. The test-change evidence comes from the raw summary and the checked-out test files. The verdict does not depend on it.
Full details: No Secrets Or Debug Leftovers
Explanation
The check found no private AI agent files, .env files, hardcoded credentials, private URLs, local absolute paths, personal e-mails, internal hosts, or leftover debug code in the PR's changes. Evidence: - The repository is a shallow clone. The PR's direct parent (237d11e) is not available. I used git diff main HEAD (main = 4a725fe, the #239 merge) as the change set. It spans 15 files and 1,402 added lines, and matches the PR's stated scope. Main is the likely PR base, but this is an approximation. - File names: no added or changed paths match CLAUDE.md, CLAUDE.local.md, AGENTS.md, .claude/, or .env. - Secrets and endpoints: no matches for password, secret, token, API key, private key blocks, AWS/GitHub token prefixes, http(s):// URLs, local paths (C:\, /home/, /Users/, /root/, /tmp/), private IP ranges, .internal, localhost, or e-mail addresses. - Identifiers: the only long strings are the project's own Go import paths (github.com/donislawdev/TestingFilesGenerator/...) and SHA-256 values in generator-golden.json. These are not credentials. - Debug output: the only print-like hits are fmt.Sprintf in an error message in the guard test code and fmt.Sprint(runs) used as a map key in a test. Neither is debug output. No dbg!, println!, pprint, Console.WriteLine, Debug.WriteLine, breakpoint(), debugger, console.log, or print( calls were added in layout.py or the Go files. - The "Generated with Claude Code" line appears only in the PR description, not in the diff. This check covers the diff, so it does not apply to that text.
Full details: No Hardcoded Ui Styling
Explanation
The check applies only when the PR adds or changes GUI code (XAML, Slint, Fyne, Tkinter, WPF). This PR does not touch UI. The changed files, per the raw summary, are: - Go backend code: internal/format/opc/cut.go, internal/format/opc/opc.go, internal/format/targz/compress.go, cut.go, filemap.go, size.go, targz.go. - Go tests: internal/guard/cutmanifest_test.go, cutshare_test.go, mutationcoverage_test.go, targzcut_test.go. - Test data: internal/guard/testdata/generator-golden.json. - Python oracle: internal/oracle/layout.py. - Changelog: CHANGELOG.md. None of these files is a GUI file or defines styling, fonts, colors, margins, or controls. The PR changes archive layout, padding, and manifest reporting. The review threads also concern the archive and deflate parsers, not UI. The check's inapplicability condition is met, so the verdict is PASS.
Full details: No Obvious Performance Problems
Explanation
No clear, concrete performance problem introduced or touched by this PR was found. Scope: the PR changes a Go CLI that writes test archives (internal/format/targz/*.go), plus a Python test oracle (internal/oracle/layout.py). It has no UI thread, no bound UI collections, no polling, and no per-item external process or FFI calls. Those items on the check's list do not apply. Evidence checked: - internal/format/targz/cut.go: squeezeForACut (lines 134-145) regenerates the files of a squeezed archive once into a byte counter, so such an archive is compressed twice. layOut runs a fixed small loop (for range 3) and does no collection scanning. The doubled pass applies only to squeezed archives that a damage cuts. The PR description discloses it as the cost of measuring compressed content. It is linear, a constant factor of about 2, and has no batch alternative. It is not an O(n^2) or per-item expensive call. - internal/oracle/layout.py: Bits.peek/skip/take are O(1) per call (lines 326-343). deflate_blocks and inflated_length read each stream once, in linear order. Stored blocks are skipped by offset. stream_at scans the block list once per tar part, and the block count is small. The per-symbol Python decode is slower than native code, but it runs only in the test oracle, not in the product path, and it does not scale super-linearly. Speculative micro-optimizations are not grounds for a warning under the check's rules.
Full details: Desktop Robustness
Explanation
Summary: The PR changes no code that the "Desktop robustness" criteria cover, so the check passes. Evidence: - The changed files are the tar.gz layout and writer (internal/format/targz/cut.go, compress.go, filemap.go, size.go, targz.go, framing.go), the guard tests (internal/guard/*_test.go, testdata/generator-golden.json), and the test oracle (internal/oracle/layout.py). The CHANGELOG and the PR description also describe these files. - A repository search found the Fyne desktop window only in CHANGELOG.md and a comment in internal/format/tiff/tiff.go. The PR touches neither the window code nor any settings code. - None of the listed criteria applies to the changed code: - Asset loading relative to the working directory: not present. - Settings or data files written non-atomically: the changes write generated archive output only. No settings file is involved. - Numbers or dates parsed or saved with the current culture: not present. - Long operation without progress, cancel, or double-execution guard: the changes alter archive layout. They do not start a new long-running operation. - Destructive action without confirmation: not present. - Background work left running after the window closes: not present. - Admin rights requested for the whole app: not present. - Undisclosed network calls: not present. - The posted review threads concern the test oracle's Huffman decode loop and a negative tar size in internal/oracle/layout.py. That code reads generated test archives, not user settings or user data. It falls outside the listed failure conditions. The threads report the fixes as addressed in commit 9eda615. Scope note: The check covers desktop-app robustness. The repository ships a CLI generator with an optional Fyne window. The PR does not touch that window, so no criterion matches.
Full details: System Changes Are Reversible
Explanation
The check does not apply to this pull request. It applies only when the PR adds or changes code that modifies system state, such as network filters, proxy settings, firewall rules, system time, process hooking or injection, Windows services, the registry, or drivers. The PR changes a file-format generator for --damage truncate. The raw summary lists these changed files: - CHANGELOG.md - internal/format/opc/cut.go, opc.go - internal/format/targz/compress.go, cut.go, filemap.go, size.go, targz.go - internal/guard/*_test.go and testdata/generator-golden.json - internal/oracle/layout.py All of these read and write archive bytes. They touch no system-level state. The PR does not add code that calls OS or system APIs in these areas. The internal/oracle/layout.py change parses archive data only. The review threads also concern archive layout, Huffman decoding, and tar header parsing. None concern system state. The check therefore does not apply. No reversibility condition needs evaluation.
Full details: No Resource Leaks
Explanation
The check asks for warnings when the PR adds code that leaks or accumulates OS or process resources over time. The PR changes a batch CLI test-file generator, not a long-running desktop app, and the new code does not add any such leak. Evidence gathered at HEAD 9eda615: - internal/oracle/layout.py (around line 709) opens the input with with open(path, "rb") as handle:, so the handle closes on every path. - No goroutines, tickers, timers, or channels were added in internal/format/targz, internal/oracle, or internal/guard/targzcut_test.go. Nothing runs in the background. - internal/format/targz/cut.go (around line 383) creates a flate.NewWriter and ends it with zw.Flush(), not Close(). This is intentional: the comment at lines 372-375 says a sync flush carries the stream on to the tail. The writer holds only in-memory compressor state and no file, socket, or process handle. It is discarded after the call, so it is not a leak. - The new layout code builds each archive in memory for one request and releases it afterward. No cache, log, history list, or queue grows across calls. - Existing gzip and tar writer closures (size.go lines 302-336, framing.go lines 124-133) are unchanged in ownership, and their Close calls remain on the error path. No unbounded growth, unreleased handle, or unstopped timer or task was found.
Full details: Safe File Parsing
Explanation
The PR adds a tar.gz map reader in internal/oracle/layout.py. It has one unresolved resource-exhaustion path on crafted input, and the prior hang claim no longer holds. Prior failure, claim by claim - Hang from Bits.peek() zeros past EOF: refuted. Bits.skip() (lines 332-338) now raises NoMap when the bit position passes the end of the data. decode() (line 374) and Bits.take() (line 342) both call skip(). deflate_blocks() also checks bits.at > len(data) * 8 (lines 451-452). A malformed dynamic Huffman tree therefore stops with NoMap. - Unbounded memory from zlib.decompress(): not addressed. Line 522 still reads tar_parts(zlib.decompress(data[pos:stop], -15)). There is no max_length, no output ceiling, and no decompressobj loop. The layout.py file contains no max_length or limit string. answer() (lines 709-710) also reads the whole input with handle.read() and applies no size cap. Causalitygit show origin/main:internal/oracle/layout.py has no zlib.decompress and no import zlib. HEAD (commit 9eda615) adds both at lines 27 and 522. The unbounded decompression is therefore introduced by this PR. Impact Deflate can expand by roughly 1032 times. A small crafted .tar.gz can make the reader allocate a very large buffer. The reader runs in the LayoutBatch path (layoutbatch.go), which the oracle uses to check generated archives. The input is normally the generator's own output, so practical exposure is limited. The check still names "crash/hang on malformed or huge input," and this is the open case. Mitigating context The archive is generated by the test tool, and the test sizes are bounded. These facts lower severity. They do not remove the unbounded allocation. Severity: moderate (resource exhaustion in a test-oracle reader, reachable with a crafted archive).
Resolution
In internal/oracle/layout.py, line 522, replace zlib.decompress(data[pos:stop], -15) with a bounded inflater. Use d = zlib.decompressobj(-15) and call d.decompress(data[pos:stop], LIMIT). While d.unconsumed_tail is non-empty, call d.decompress(d.unconsumed_tail, LIMIT) again. Stop with NoMap when the total output exceeds LIMIT. Choose LIMIT from the largest tar the check accepts, and name it as a module constant. 2. In answer() (lines 708-710), cap the input before reading. Use os.path.getsize(path) and return NoMap above a fixed maximum. Or use handle.read(MAX + 1) and reject a result longer than MAX. 3. Keep Bits.skip() as the bounds check. Add a regression test that feeds a truncated dynamic-Huffman stream and a high-ratio deflate bomb. The test must return a NoMap error and must not hang or allocate without bound.
Full details: Clear User-Facing Text
Explanation
The PR adds new error text that CLI users see, and that text does not say what to do. The check applies, so it was evaluated. Evidence: - internal/format/targz/cut.go is absent on main and present at HEAD (9eda615), so its messages are new in this PR. - The new messages are built with core.Defect(fmt.Errorf(...)). Examples: line 183 targz: no frame lays out %d B of padding around the files for a cut at %d; line 287 targz: laid out for a cut, the archive comes to %d B where %d B was asked for; line 343 targz: the files inside came to %d B where the pass that measured them made %d B; lines 385, 541 and 557 use the same form. - internal/cli/errors.go:44-46 routes the error through inOurWords and core.ShownText. For a non-errno error, inOurWords returns err.Error() unchanged (lines 90-92). - internal/cli/generate.go:459-460 prints tfg: %s%s with describeError(runErr). Nothing in internal/cli calls core.IsDefect, so defects get no special handling. - A search of internal/cli and internal/core found no reporting instruction such as "report this" or "open an issue" on this path. The messages state internal state ("the pass that measured them", "frame", "laid out for a cut") and carry a Go package prefix (targz:). A user cannot act on them. None gives a next step. The prior failure cited cut.go:341. The current line is 343, but the same message is present. The rest of its claims still hold.
Resolution
Replace the new defect messages with user-facing text, and route them through the CLI so the user sees a reporting instruction. Concrete replacements: - cut.go:343 (file sizes): "The tar.gz archive could not be written because its file sizes did not match. This is a fault in tfg. Report it with the command you ran and the full output." - cut.go:183 (no frame fits): "The tar.gz archive could not be laid out for the requested cut. This is a fault in tfg. Report it with the command you ran and the full output." - cut.go:287 (wrong total size): "The tar.gz archive came to a different size than requested. This is a fault in tfg. Report it with the command you ran and the full output." Apply the same pattern to the other new core.Defect messages in cut.go (lines 385, 541, 557). Drop the targz: prefix and the internal terms from the user text. Keep the detail values (sizes, paths) in a separate "details" line for the bug report. In internal/cli/generate.go, when core.IsDefect(runErr) is true, print the reporting instruction after the message.

The PR changes user-visible manifest output for Office documents, and the CHANGELOG does not record it. Evidence: - Base is main at 4a725fe. HEAD is 9eda615. The diff changes internal/format/opc/cut.go (+4) and internal/format/opc/opc.go (+10). Those changes make docx, xlsx and pptx cuts at the smallest size report content_bytes where they omitted it before. The manifest cut field is user-facing. - The PR description now has an "Also in this PR" entry for this change. It names docx, xlsx and pptx, the content_kept_bytes and content_bytes fields, and the small-cut case with no front padding part. That part of the prior failure is addressed. The disclosure also means the bundled fix is no longer undisclosed. - CHANGELOG.md is changed by the PR (+17/-2 in total). The Unreleased section adds only the tar.gz Alpine entry and a tar.gz truncation entry, and revises the tar.gz note. git diff main HEAD -- CHANGELOG.md shows no docx, xlsx, pptx or Office line. The CHANGELOG says it records "changes that a user of the tool would notice", so this gap is a documentation miss under the check. - The README truncate section (around line 531) already describes content_bytes generically, so it does not need the fix. The CHANGELOG is the missing document. - The Office fix is bundled into a tar.gz-titled PR. It is disclosed and sits in its own commit, so this is a minor scope concern, not the failure condition. - Duplication: the new targz/cut.go extends the existing framing.go model. The PR description explains that extension, so it is not a duplication finding. - Breaking changes: the tar.gz byte change is marked "Breaking" in the description and in the CHANGELOG. This is adequate. Result: the description gap is closed, but the CHANGELOG gap remains. The failure condition (user-facing behavior changed without CHANGELOG update) still holds.
Resolution
Add a CHANGELOG entry under ## [Unreleased] for the Office change. Place it near the tar.gz truncate entries. Use the same style as the other entries. Name docx, xlsx and pptx. State that a file cut short at its smallest size, with no padding part in front of its parts, now reports content_bytes as well as content_kept_bytes. Name the manifest fields as they appear in the truncate entry's cut object. 2. Optional: move the opc commits (internal/format/opc/cut.go, internal/format/opc/opc.go) to a separate PR, so this PR matches its tar.gz title.

Review comments at @internal/format/targz/cut.go:
- Around line 165-166: In the clean-frame spare-byte check used by
settleForACut, return fits false when spare is exactly one and label is empty,
allowing the ordinary layout to be retained. Add a regression test for one
8192-byte child with no directories, CutAt: 4878, and Label: false.
Review comments at @internal/oracle/layout.py:
- Line 364: Update decode and Bits.take to validate that the bits each operation
consumes remain within the input before advancing bits.at, and reject reads that
extend past the input using the existing decode error mechanism. Preserve
Bits.peek’s zero-filled behavior so short final codes can still decode.
- Line 478: Validate the parsed size in the tar-header parsing flow before
advancing the offset; reject negative sizes so the loop cannot stall or move
backward, while preserving existing handling for zero and positive sizes.

Failed pre-merge checks:
- Safe File Parsing:
Replace unbounded `zlib.decompress()` with `zlib.decompressobj().decompress(...,
max_length)` and enforce a total output limit. Validate Huffman trees and check
the available input bits before consuming them. Reject truncated streams with
`NoMap`.
- Clear User-Facing Text:
Add a CLI instruction for these defects. For example: “The tar.gz archive could
not be written because its file sizes did not match. Report this problem with
these details: <details>.”
- Scope, Duplication And Docs:
1. Add a description entry for the OPC fix. Name the affected formats (docx,
xlsx, pptx), the manifest fields that change (`content_bytes`, and
`content_kept_bytes` where the content is now known), and the cases affected (a
small file cut at its smallest size, with no front padding part). 2. Add a
CHANGELOG entry under the unreleased section for the same OPC change, in the
same style as the tar.gz entries. 3. Optional: move the OPC commits to a
separate PR. That keeps the tar.gz PR limited to the tar.gz scope the title
states.

One byte of spare goes to the comment, as a space behind the label. Without
a label no part of the frame takes it, and planning ended in an internal
defect - 9757 B with no label, cut half way. Such a size now keeps the layout
of an archive nothing cuts, as sizes below the floor do, and a new guard
writes the first sizes from the smallest with a label and without.
The reader of maps stops on a deflate stream that ends inside a code, where
the bits past the end read as zeros and a code of zeros decoded for ever, and
on a tar header with a size below zero, which held the walk in place. The map
guard hands it one of each.

What changes
--damage truncatenow cuts the files inside a tar.gz by the percentage asked for, compressed or not. Before, a tar.gz kept its padding in the gzip header in front of everything, and above what the header holds in an entry behind the files, so a cut of any share took all of a small archive's files or none of a large one's.An archive a damage will cut is laid out so the cut lands at the same share of the files as of the whole archive. gzip's own writer compresses the tar as one stream, so this archive is framed by hand to RFC 1951 and RFC 1952 - still one gzip member and one deflate stream:
tfg-padding.binin front of the files;tfg-padding-end.binwhen one stands in front), and the last bytes in the deflate frame of the tar's end marker: stored blocks for steps of five bytes, one to three empty blocks of fixed codes for the rest. The tar stays whole 512 byte blocks with nothing after its end marker.Every part ends on a byte, so the manifest's
cutstatescontent_bytesfor compressed archives too, where before the whole compressed stream counted as content.Files nothing cuts are byte for byte unchanged by the layout.
Breaking, in its own commit: the gzip extra field now carries at most 16 KiB of padding. busybox 1.37 (Alpine) refuses a longer one as corrupted data - 16 384 B opens and 16 385 B does not - so every tar.gz 16 KiB to 64 KiB larger than its files, the default 64 KiB one among them, could not be opened in an Alpine container. Those archives change bytes. The changelog has the entry, and the one golden case they move is re-measured.
Measured
compression=best, and two levels of directories with directory entries.main: 84 of 84 cases the same before the busybox commit (stored, fast, best, default, no entries, nested directories, 4 KiB-10 MiB). After it, only the 64 KiB stored archives differ.tarfile, GNU gzip, GNU tar, bsdtar, 7-Zip, Go, Node, Java and .NET read each as they read the uncut one. busybox in Alpine 3.22 reads all 18 (12 before the busybox commit).tar -xzfgives back 3 584 of the 8 192 B of the file inside, then stops at the unexpected end.Limits
in: end. The share guard accepts this because POSIX tar puts the end marker after every entry and RFC 1952 closes a member with its trailer.Also in this PR
docx,xlsxorpptxcut short at a size too small for a padding part in front of its parts reportedcontent_kept_byteswithoutcontent_bytes, although the length was known. Now it reports both, as the larger sizes did. The share guard's exception for a cut that falls in the end also checks the cut's offset against the whole file's map, not only the manifest'sin.Guards
internal/oracle/layout.pyreads deflate blocks itself (a Huffman decoder that only counts lengths), so the map guard holds a compressed archive's parts to its structure.TestATarGzLaidOutForACutComesToEverySizeAndReads: 64 consecutive sizes, every frame of the end marker met, each archive read through compress/gzip and archive/tar, with a canary stream built by hand.tfg-padding-end.bin, a frame a byte short, and an empty block's type bit one place off. The frame a byte short passed the share and map guards, which is why the new guard exists.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
