Improve storage efficiency.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Introduced the versioned PC QR-code envelope format.
    • QR data is now compressed only when this reduces its size.
    • Added automatic envelope encoding and compression handling during decoding.
    • Updated the binary container format with an explicit version.
    • Added an --unlimited scan option for oversized decompressed data.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved validation and error reporting for unsupported envelope and container versions.
    • Added validation for missing container data.
    • Added safeguards against unexpectedly large decompressed payloads.

Signed-off-by: Universal Studio <10200399+TMUniversal@users.noreply.github.com>
Extract the envelope deserialization pipeline from cmd/scan_code.go into
file_format.UnmarshalEnvelope, which parses the header, selects the encoder
via the new envelope.NewEncoder factory, unwraps, and unmarshals the binary
container. The envelope now handles gzip compression internally: Wrap stores
the payload gzipped only when it is smaller, recording CompressionType in a
new header bit, and Unwrap decompresses transparently. container_pdf.go no
longer pre-compresses before wrapping.
…implementations

Replace the package-private compress/decompress helpers with a Compressor
interface selected by CompressionType via NewCompressor. RawCompressor is a
no-op pass-through; GzipCompressor applies gzip BestCompression on compress
and transparently decompresses on read. Unwrap now dispatches through
NewCompressor instead of special-casing gzip.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The QR pipeline now uses a versioned PC envelope. Gzip compression is selected only when it reduces payload size. The binary container uses format version 5. Envelope decoding is centralised in file_format.UnmarshalEnvelope.

Changes

PC envelope migration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Envelope header, encoding, and compression primitives
internal/file_format/envelope/header.go, internal/file_format/envelope/encoder.go, internal/file_format/envelope/compression.go
The envelope adds typed headers, encoding selection, and raw or gzip compression selection.
Envelope wrapping and validation
internal/file_format/envelope/envelope.go, internal/file_format/envelope/envelope_test.go
Wrap emits the PC header and conditionally stores gzip data. Unwrap validates fields, checks the CRC, decodes the payload, and applies the marked compression.
Binary container versioning
internal/file_format/container_binary.go, internal/file_format/container_binary_test.go
The binary container uses PC magic followed by format version 5. Unmarshalling rejects unsupported versions.
QR encoding and scan decoding integration
internal/file_format/container_pdf.go, internal/file_format/container_envelope.go, cmd/scan_code.go, README.md
QR encoding passes binary data directly to the envelope. Shared decoding now parses, unwraps, decompresses, and unmarshals the container. The scan command supports unlimited decompression.
Command flow and supporting updates
cmd/generate.go, cmd/phrase_sheet.go, .golangci.yaml, internal/file_format/container.go, cmd/..., internal/...
Raw generation skips passphrase prompting and encryption. A dead seed conversion error check is removed. Lint rules and documentation comments are updated.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 82e05

This PR changes the persisted QR and binary formats, so existing printed backups may become unreadable after upgrading and newly generated backups may become unreadable after rollback; merge should wait for a compatibility/rollback plan or explicit owner acceptance, and the malformed-header error classification should be corrected.

Poem

I am a rabbit with packets to pack
PC marks the trail on the binary track
Gzip joins only when smaller it grows
Version five keeps the format in rows
Scan follows the envelope home

In `@internal/file_format/envelope/compression.go`:
- Around line 93-106: Update GzipCompressor.Decompress to enforce a maximum
uncompressed container size: define or reuse the established maximum-size
constant, read at most that limit plus one byte from gz, and return an error
when the extra byte indicates the limit was exceeded. Preserve the existing
reader-creation, read, close, and successful output behavior for data within the
limit.

In `@README.md`:
- Around line 282-283: Update the envelope header documentation near the
`ParseHeader` description to state the exact `headerAlphabet` accepted by
`ParseHeader`, or explicitly identify the field as using a non-Base32 alphabet;
do not describe `0-9A-Z` as Base32.
- Line 288: Update the fenced code block in the README by adding a blank line
before the opening fence and specifying a language identifier such as text on
that fence, resolving MD031 and MD040.

66-78: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Return a type error for a non-envelope header.

When hdr.Type != TypeEnvelope, Unwrap returns ErrInvalidVersion. A valid version-1 header with TypeContainer is therefore reported as a version failure. Add an ErrInvalidType sentinel and return it from this branch so callers can distinguish the failure.

internal/file_format and its container decoding behavior: distinguish any legacy
v3 protocol from the current binary container format version 5, or update the
references to v5 where they describe the active wire-format contract. Keep the
envelope format details and README synchronization guidance unchanged.
