|---|---|---|---|---|
| F-01 | The intrinsic decoder reproduces the transformed reference output exactly. | Full snapshot comparison; 36 rows; normalized SHA-256 44b393a1285ad81dadf34a4ffdc60433620b873a1b816d89ef3c77aa27b3faff |
The BSD schema is the production source of truth. | Closed |
| F-02 | Row and section boundaries are intrinsic. | Strict decoding reaches exact EOF on the installed capture. | No companion offset table is loaded by this decoder. | Closed |
| F-03 | Reserved byte ranges are representation details. | Their widths are fixed by adjacent fields and full-snapshot parity. | .pad() keeps the schema readable and omits redundant output properties. |
