Create binary format to improve 2D code efficiency and readability - #187

Conversation
Replace the JSON-serialized PaperCrypt container with a custom binary format for the 2D code payload, reducing size by ~31%. Binary container format: "PC\x03\00" | format(1) | serial(1+N) | purpose(1+N) | comment(1+N) | createdAt(8) | SHA256(32) | data(...) Envelope format (CRC-32 integrity): "PCE1" | crc32(4) | container(...) New packages: - internal/file_format/envelope: Wrap/Unwrap with CRC-32 - internal/file_format: MarshalBinary/UnmarshalBinary Changes: - container_pdf.go: QR encodes envelope(MarshalBinary(p)) instead of JSON - scan_code.go: add --from-binary/-B and --to-binary/-b flags, auto-detect binary vs JSON input via magic header - codematrix_test.go: simplify fuzz seeds to raw bytes
Wire format change: version (major, minor, patch as uint8) now precedes the format byte in the binary container: [4]byte magic [3]byte version [1]byte format ... Also switches from Unix seconds to Unix nanoseconds for CreatedAt to preserve sub-second precision through binary roundtrip. - parseVersion/formatVersion helpers for semver string <-> uint8 triple - PaperCryptContainerVersionFromString now maps '0' to Devel (for dev builds where version resolves to v0.0.0) - Tests updated with nanosecond-precision timestamps - Lint: renamed min->mi to avoid shadowing builtin
New wire format: PCE1 + encoder(CRC32) + encoder(content) The envelope now accepts a ContentEncoder interface, making the encoding (base45 by default) replaceable. The CRC-32 is encoded using the same encoder as the content, keeping everything in the alphanumeric character set for QR compatibility. - ContentEncoder interface: EncodeToString, DecodeString, EncodedCRCSize - Base45Encoder implementation (EncodedCRCSize = 6) - Wrap(content []byte, enc ContentEncoder) string - Unwrap(data string, enc ContentEncoder) ([]byte, error) - Encoder types extracted to envelope/encoder.go - Updated container_binary_test.go for new API
…lback Encoding pipeline changed from: MarshalBinary → envelope.Wrap(binary) → gzip → base45 → QR to: MarshalBinary → gzip → base45 → envelope.Wrap(base45_content) → QR Decoding pipeline changed from: QR → base45 → gzip → envelope.Unwrap → UnmarshalBinary to: QR → envelope.Unwrap → base45 → gzip → UnmarshalBinary - codematrix: simplified to pure QR encode/decode (no gzip/base45) - Encode(string) (image.Image, error) - Decode(image.Image) (string, error) - Removed MaxDecodedPayloadSize and SetLimitDecodedPayload - container_pdf.go: caller now handles gzip+base45+envelope - scan_code.go: envelope-first detection, base45+gzip decompression - Removed JSON format support and --from-json/--to-json flags - --from-binary reads envelope string from file - --to-binary writes envelope string to file - root.go: removed --no-limit-decoded-payload flag

Inline comments:
In `@cmd/scan_code.go`:
- Line 82: Update the error check around io.ReadAll to use only err != nil;
remove the unnecessary io.EOF comparison and errors.Is-style handling while
preserving the existing error path.
- Line 64: Update the help text in the scan command to reference the registered
--from-binary and --to-binary flags instead of the nonexistent --binary flag, so
users can invoke the documented options successfully.
- Around line 161-168: Bound gzip decompression in the flow creating the gzip
reader by reading through an io.LimitReader capped at MaxDecodedPayloadSize, and
reject output that exceeds the limit while preserving the existing error
wrapping. Rename the resulting buffer from binary to decoded where it is passed
to file_format.UnmarshalBinary.
- Around line 80-85: Trim surrounding whitespace from the data read in the
qrCmdFromBinary path before assigning it to envelopeStr, while preserving the
existing read-error handling and leaving internal envelope content unchanged.
In `@internal/codematrix/codematrix_test.go`:
- Around line 111-115: Update the FuzzRoundtrip seed corpus to remove the
lowercase "hello" input and add encodable seeds covering the full envelope
character set, such as uppercase letters, digits, spaces, and supported
punctuation. Preserve the existing repeated-character seeds so the fuzz target
reaches Encode without triggering its skip path.
- Around line 35-37: Update TestRoundtrip’s data payload to contain only
characters supported by qr.AlphaNumeric, or construct it through envelope.Wrap
to match the production format, so the value passed to Encode succeeds without
changing the roundtrip assertions.
Apply the same fix in `@internal/codematrix/codematrix_test.go` around lines 90 -
91: The same encoder incompatibility causes `TestEncodePNG` to fail.
In `@internal/file_format/container_binary.go`:
- Around line 147-173: Update the binary parsing routine around the DataFormat,
serial length, purpose length, and comment length reads to check len(r) before
each r[0] access and return ErrBinaryTruncated when absent; add regression cases
covering truncation at each of these boundaries.
In `@internal/file_format/container_pdf.go`:
- Around line 147-148: Remove the redundant Base45 encoding from
internal/file_format/container_pdf.go lines 147-148 by passing gzBuf.Bytes()
directly to envelope.Wrap; remove the matching Base45 decoding from
cmd/scan_code.go lines 155-159 by passing the envelope.Unwrap result directly to
gzip.NewReader, preserving the valid round trip.

envelope.Wrap already applies the ContentEncoder internally, so passing already-base45-encoded bytes produced base45(base45(gzip)). Feed the raw gzip output to Wrap and remove the matching decode in scan, yielding the intended format: PCE1 + base45(CRC32) + base45(gzip(container)).

io.ReadAll converts io.EOF to nil internally and never returns it, so the err != io.EOF comparison was dead logic.
Payloads in TestRoundtrip and TestEncodePNG contained characters outside the qr.AlphaNumeric charset (JSON/lowercase), causing Encode to fail. Construct payloads via envelope.Wrap so they match the production format (PCE1 + base45), whose charset is AlphaNumeric-compatible.
FuzzRoundtrip replayed its seed corpus during -short runs, encoding and decoding 7795x7795 QR images (~63s). Skip the seed body under testing.Short so test:unit stays fast while test:unit:full and real fuzzing still exercise it. Also replace the stale lowercase "hello" seed, which can never encode as AlphaNumeric, with a valid envelope-wrapped payload.
Replace short-mode task test with test:unit:full so the slow QR roundtrip and fuzz seed tests run on every push/PR, and update the coverage script to match.
Add a direct seed covering all 45 characters of the AlphaNumeric/base45 charset so Encode is exercised on uppercase, digits, spaces, and punctuation without relying on envelope transformation.
Files read via --from-binary commonly end with a newline (echo, editors, scanner apps). The trailing newline is not in the base45 charset, so envelope decode failed. Trim surrounding whitespace while leaving the envelope content and read-error handling unchanged.
Pads the envelope with leading/trailing spaces, tabs, and newlines before scan --from-binary and asserts the roundtrip still reconstructs the input document.
UnmarshalBinary read r[0] for the DataFormat and serial/purpose/comment length bytes without checking len(r), so payloads truncated at those boundaries panicked with index out of range. Guard each access and add regression cases truncating at every boundary.

Move the PDF rendering out of file_format into a base generator in internal/pdf, driven by four mode generators (raw/no-qr, raw/qr, pgp/qr, pgp/no-qr). Each mode owns its text lines, including a QR-aware representation section; the no-qr modes no longer claim the data lives in a QR code. Regenerate example PDFs.

In @.github/workflows/build.yml:
- Around line 61-65: Update the workflow’s test steps so the full unit suite
runs exactly once: either replace task test:unit:full with ./scripts/test.sh in
the existing verification step and remove the later standalone script
invocation, or retain task test:unit:full and remove the redundant script
invocation while preserving the required coverage and JSON outputs.
In `@internal/pdf/generator.go`:
- Around line 149-152: Update the page-one layout in the flow containing
renderPage1Info and renderQRCode so the main QR code’s 167×167 mm rectangle at
(21, 5) has dedicated space; reposition or constrain the page-one text rendered
by renderPage1Info to remain outside that rectangle, while preserving QR
rendering when cfg.HasQR is enabled.
- Around line 281-287: Update the filtered-row rendering loop to apply the
alternating grey fill after automatic page-break handling, ensuring even-row
text always has its background on the same page. Prefer a filled CellFormat for
the even rows, or check for the page break before drawing the rectangle;
preserve the existing row spacing and odd-row appearance.
