Summary

Security findings from a full audit of the tree (40 check items, every finding re-checked by a second reviewer). These are fixed here first rather than filed publicly, per SECURITY.md.

  • DASH / IMF manifests given as media. The playlist guard knew HLS and ffconcat by name and first 16 bytes only. A DASH manifest saved as clip.mp4 made every tool follow its BaseURL: to another local file (the output then contained it, reported completed and verified) or over HTTP. FFmpeg 6.1's -protocol_whitelist file did not stop the HTTP request. DASH (<MPD + dash:profile, case-insensitive) and IMF (<CompositionPlaylist + ContentTitle>) are now told the way ffmpeg's own probes tell them, over the text before the first NUL byte (up to the 5,000,000-byte default probe size), and .mpd by name. Refused as media_path_is_playlist.
  • subfile,<options>:<url>. ffmpeg's url_find_protocol() opens it through the subfile protocol; looks_like_url() stopped reading the scheme at the comma. Now refused as media_path_is_url with scheme: subfile.
  • Line breaks in concat list paths. concat_list_line() escaped quotes only, and each line of a concat list is a directive, so a name containing \n added file entries and pulled a file named nowhere on the command line into the output (loop.py, join.py --copy, sequence.py, multi-part cuts). Now refused as media_path_has_line_break (new reason, in the contract).
  • Hidden temp names opened through a planted symlink. The staging temp of an --overwrite run (.<stem>.ffskill-<pid><ext>) and place_output()'s temp were opened through whatever was at that name: with a symlink planted there, the encode was written into the link's target and the output left as a symlink to it. They are now created with O_CREAT|O_EXCL|O_NOFOLLOW (runner.reserve_sibling()), taking the next free -<n> name when one is taken. A lock's default audit log is opened with O_NOFOLLOW (a log named with --audit-log is opened as named).
  • render.py output-is-input guard. It compared the output with clip sources and overlay videos only; with --overwrite a project whose output was its own music bed, brand file, overlay image, caption file or beat source replaced it. project_input_files() now passes every file the project names.
  • Colours. color_hex() checked the length only: --color yellow drew black text reported verified, and a quote or comma reached the filter graph as kind: ffmpeg. Six hex digits are now required (kind: input); caption.ass_color() and _ass_overlay.ass_color() check the same.

Not changed: an SDP file named .mp4 is already stopped by ffmpeg's SDP whitelist (Protocol 'rtp' not on whitelist 'file,crypto,data'), checked on 6.1.1.

Test plan

  • python3 -m unittest tests.test_contract: 304 tests OK (2 skipped).
  • New or extended tests: DASH-bodied .mp4, a lower-case <mpd behind a 5,000-byte comment, .mpd by name and an IMF playlist, each refused by probe and cut (and the fixture checked to be what ffprobe reads as dash); a real media file is not refused; subfile, URLs; loop.py and join.py --copy on a name with a line break; a planted symlink at the staging, place_output and audit-log names (target unchanged); render.py with the output equal to audio.music, brand and an overlay image, with and without --dry-run; --color yellow, --outline-color "'],abc" and graphics --text-color orange refused as kind: input.
  • The audit's own reproductions re-run on this head: the DASH manifest (refused), the subfile name (refused), the symlink planted at .out.ffskill-$$.mp4 before an --overwrite run (target unchanged, output a regular file).
  • tests/test_editing.py -k loop -k join -k sequence -k overwrite -k segments (50 OK), tests/test_picture.py -k color -k graphics_title -k brand (29 OK), tests/test_delivery.py -k key -k fill -k alpha (11 OK), tests/test_orchestration.py -k batch (8 OK) and -k render_every_stage (OK).
  • Full matrix: CI.

Siblings

  • Class 1, "an input ffmpeg opens as something other than the file the guards look at": I listed the demuxers this FFmpeg build offers that follow references (ffmpeg -formats: hls, dash, imf, concat, sdp). hls and concat were covered. dash and imf are fixed here. sdp is blocked by ffmpeg's own whitelist, checked. Protocol forms: url_find_protocol()'s special case is subfile,, fixed here.
  • Class 2, "a fixed hidden name in the caller's directory opened without O_EXCL": I grepped for .ffskill- names. Besides the two above, export.py's key/fill temp and batch.py's cross-filesystem delivery temp had the same shape and now use reserve_sibling(). sibling_temp() already checks lexists(). Locks already use O_EXCL.
  • Class 3, "a path written into a line-oriented list": every concat list goes through concat_list_line() (cut.py, _smartcut.py, loop.py, join.py, sequence.py), checked with grep. render.py's chapters.txt writer has the same newline issue for chapter titles. That is a correctness bug, not a file pull, and it is filed with the other audit findings.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Security
    • Temporary output files use exclusively reserved names, and default audit logs are protected against symlink redirection.
    • HLS, DASH, IMF, and ffconcat playlists, subfile URLs, and paths with line breaks used in concat lists are refused.
    • Rendering is refused if the output would overwrite the project file or a project-referenced input; preview runs that stop before export are unaffected.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Color inputs now require exactly six hexadecimal digits; invalid values are rejected with an input error.
    • DASH and IMF playlists are recognized by their contents, regardless of filename.
    • Audiogram images and overlay fonts are resolved relative to the project file.

…remove

join.py --copy --transition none joins clips by the concat demuxer with -c copy when their first
video and audio streams match (cut.py's stream signature, now in _common.probe), no clip hides
edit-list pre-roll, and each clip's picture and sound end within 50 ms. A mismatch is refused by
name (join_copy_mismatch). The join is measured beside the output -- video packet count and
length against the clips' -- before it is renamed into place.

cut.py --remove A-B,... is the inverse of --segments: the ranges are dropped and the rest is cut
exactly as the equivalent --segments would be.

Every writing tool reports output_identity {size, mtime_ns} for the file it wrote; check.py
--expect-identity SIZE:MTIME_NS FAILs an identity row when the file at the path is another one (an
older file a failed run left, or a later run's), and check.py reports input_identity. SKILL.md's
delivery check passes it. check.py --compare REF measures SSIM (mean and worst frame) and PSNR
against a reference in one pass, WARN under a mean SSIM of 0.98.

…ured

The preset's x264 line takes the video bitrate the running time leaves after the audio (97% of the
budget) in place of its CRF and runs in two passes; the written size is a file_size verification
step, with a size_over_limit warning when the encoder overshot. Refused for non-x264 presets and
--hw, with --crf, without a duration, and under 100 kb/s for the picture.

…the damage

Timestamps regenerated, corrupt packets dropped, demuxing past errors, negative timestamps shifted
to zero; the input is only read. Both files are decoded once at -v warning and the timestamp
warnings and other errors counted (repair: {before, after}); the repair step fails if either grew,
and errors a remux cannot fix are a repair_incomplete warning.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_013tPrsGXLuaGU7t643QNUZs
Decode errors are log lines whose count changes with the container (one
full run logged 51 before and 53 after), so they are reported before and
after but no longer fail the verification step; timestamp warnings, the
part a remux rewrites, do. The test source is encoded single-threaded so
its damage is the same every run.

… edges, --max-mb

- check.py --compare reads V:0 (not cover art), times the worst frame by
  its presentation time, counts frames from packets when nb_frames is
  missing, prints that note in plain text, runs under --dry-run when both
  files exist, and starts each main() with no leftover notes.
- join.py --copy compares the first non-cover video stream, judges A/V
  alignment on each stream's end (start + length), includes colour matrix
  and range in the signature, refuses --sample-rate/--channels, fails the
  packet check when nothing was counted, and reports short and silent
  clips as the re-encoding join does.
- cut.py --remove refuses any explicit --start and --snap beats, and
  clamps a range that starts before 0.
- export.py --max-mb refuses nan and inf.
- contract: join is conditional on audio; check notes name --compare.

The repair test overwrote bytes anywhere in the middle of the TS, which on
ffmpeg 5.1.1 hit data its ffprobe could not open the file past; it now
flips one byte in 40 video payload packets, never a TS header, the
PAT/PMT or audio. The demo shows --remove 2-4 on the gallery's clip.

…--compare pairs by index

- The concat demuxer maps each clip's packets by stream index, so a clip
  whose streams are laid out differently (a cover picture between video
  and sound) is refused before the signatures are compared.
- Picture and sound must start, as well as end, within 50 ms of each
  other in each clip.
- check.py --compare re-times both pictures to their frame index before
  ssim/psnr, which otherwise pair frames by timestamp.

The identity was skipped for every dry run; it is skipped only for a
pending placeholder now, as the content rows are.

…y reads twice

- Matroska/WebM state no stream length, so the A/V guard compared nothing
  there; the starts are now compared whenever both streams exist and the
  ends only where both lengths are known.
- check.py reads the input's identity before measuring and again after:
  a file replaced mid-check FAILs, and a path that holds no regular file
  is a FAIL row rather than no row.

…without --expect-identity

The second identity read now follows every measurement, --compare's
pass included, so a replacement during that pass is caught. Without
--expect-identity no row is added (the row set is unchanged), but a file
that changed while it was being checked is named in notes.

…very ffprobe

SKILL.md: routing rows for export --max-mb, cut --remove, join --copy,
export --preset copy --repair and check --compare; the report format moved
above the routing table (inside the first ~5000 tokens kept after compaction);
the --dry-run and VFR-phone rows dropped (covered by the shared-flag line and
a gotcha). Checked with a blind behaviour test, original vs trimmed, on 10
prompts: trimmed 60/60, original 56/60.

test_delivery: the repair source is one TS appended to itself byte for byte,
not bytes flipped inside packets; ffprobe 5.1.1 could not open the latter.

The static ffprobe 5.1.1 build segfaults on every MPEG-TS file (the same
reason test_contract gates its TS cut test), so the appended-recording
source is written as MPEG-PS there; both containers are what a recorder
appends to, and the assertions run unchanged on every runner.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_013tPrsGXLuaGU7t643QNUZs
On the static 5.1.1 build an appended program stream decoded without a
timestamp warning, so nothing was counted before the repair. The PS copy
now also has bytes flipped inside packs of its middle half; the MPEG-2
decoder reports those as decode errors on every version.

- README / gotchas: `--switch energy` picks the loudest camera, not a
  recognised speaker; it needs each speaker on their own camera's mic.
- design-decisions / scripts.md: Chinese 啊 is out of the zh list for the
  same reason as `like` (a sentence-final particle far more often than a
  hesitation); `--filler-extra 啊` adds it.

…ith the tree

color.py: FFmpeg's CPU tonemap filter has no BT.2390 curve in any version
(only tonemap_opencl and libplacebo do), so --tonemap bt2390 always failed.
The choices are now the filter's own curves; a test checks every choice
against the ffmpeg under test and that bt2390 is refused.

README, checked against the code:
- CI runs on pull requests and pushes to main, not every push; the FFmpeg
  list includes the Ubuntu 26.04 / 8.0.1 job.
- templates include audiogram; --template all renders the seven video
  destinations, not every template.
- doctor's fonts.scripts covers bn, ta, lo and latin too.
- --crf was removed except on export.py; --codec/--quality are not on
  export.py, render.py or batch.py.
- output_schema names output_identity (every tool but probe).

tests: the Windows skip for the POSIX shim was on the wrong test since
#269; it is back on test_dry_run_never_runs_ffmpeg_and_writes_nothing.

… inputs; empty --expect-identity

- ssim/psnr ran with eof_action=repeat, so a shorter output's last frame was
  measured against the rest of the reference (a mean of 0.90 for 52
  identical frames, the worst frame timed past the file's end): shortest=1.
- An RGB file printed "SSIM R:"/"PSNR r:", which the parser missed ("could
  not measure"), and the value depended on argument order: both inputs go
  through format=yuv444p and the parser takes any channel letter.
- A clip stored sideways was compared by its stored size although ffmpeg
  auto-rotates: the size check uses the displayed size.
- --expect-identity "" (an unset shell variable) skipped the identity row;
  it is now malformed (kind input), parsed before any measurement.

…ped tracks. cut.py --remove outside the file

- The A/V end check read stated stream lengths: Matroska/WebM state none, so
  a clip whose sound stopped 1.5 s early joined as verified; MPEG-TS states
  an estimate, so every AAC .ts was refused with wrong numbers. Each
  stream's span now comes from its first and last packet.
- VP8/VP9 carry no extradata in WebM: identical clips were refused as
  "codec configuration differs" (and cut.py --remove/--segments fell back
  to an x264 re-encode into .webm, which ffmpeg refuses).
- --copy with --codec, --quality or --hw ignored them silently; refused now.
- A copy join drops subtitle/data tracks: dropped_non_av_streams says so.
- cut.py --remove 15-20 on a 4 s file kept a range past the end and removed
  nothing; a range outside the file is refused.

…render.py --stop-after keeps its output

- --preset gif returned before --max-mb was applied, so a 0.7 MB GIF passed
  a 1 KB limit as verified: refused. A limit so large it constrains nothing
  is refused as input instead of failing inside libx264.
- --repair counted "Packet corrupt (... dts = ...)" as a timestamp warning
  and "Last message repeated N times" as a decode error, so a remux that
  made timestamps worse could pass: repeat+warning prints each occurrence
  and corrupt-packet lines count as damage.
- render.py --stop-after (before export) without --work removed the work
  directory at exit, deleting the file the result named; it is kept.
- docs/contract.md lists size_over_limit and repair_incomplete.
- CHANGELOG: the fixes found reviewing 2.24.0.

…any --quality

- _stream_span skipped a packet without a time and measured the rest, which
  could invent (or hide) an A/V gap; it returns None, and join_copy refuses
  the copy when either span is unmeasured instead of skipping the clip.
- --quality was refused only when it differed from the default, so
  --quality 18 passed silently; any --quality given is refused.

…on fixture for FFmpeg 5.x

The ffmpeg 5.1.1 job refused every copy join as "could not measure": a
row of the csv packet listing did not parse as a time there. The spans are
read from ffprobe's JSON (only packet entries), and a packet without a pts
falls back to its dts; a packet with neither still makes the span
unmeasured.

-display_rotation is FFmpeg 6.0+; the rotated --compare fixture falls back
to the rotate tag, and the test asserts the rotation was written.

_stream_span listed every packet of the first video and audio stream of
each clip to keep two numbers. A clip longer than 30 s is now read at its
first 64 packets (past B-frame reordering) and its last 10 s; a test checks
that this gives the same span as reading every packet. A packet with no pts
is placed by its dts, now pinned by a test.

-read_intervals takes timestamps, so the tail read started at
duration - 10 s on the absolute clock. A clip whose clock starts late (an
MPEG-TS hours in) read from its first packet instead, and one starting
below -10 s read nothing and was refused. The seek is start_time +
duration - 10 s; a test checks a clip starting at 100 s.

Review of #452:
- A silence that runs to the end of the file was kept whatever its length,
  so a 0.5 s pause after the last sentence could be cut under a 3 s floor.
  Its length is what is left of the file.
- Words with a non-finite time or no length are left out of the sentence
  classification, and a transcript with none left is refused.
- The sentence_ends_not_found warning and the docs said the flags changed
  nothing; with --filler they still turn silence removal on. They now say
  what happens: every silence uses --min-silence and --margin-tail.
- demos: pauses_en runs the lead, tail and sentence flags on the recorded
  speech clip (CONTRIBUTING asks a feat PR for a before/after demo).

… line breaks in concat paths; never write temps through a planted link

From the full audit:
- A DASH manifest saved as .mp4 made every tool follow its BaseURL to another
  local file or over HTTP (FFmpeg 6.1's -protocol_whitelist file did not stop
  it). DASH and IMF are now told by the content ffmpeg's own probes look for.
- looks_like_url() stopped at the comma of subfile,<options>:<url>.
- concat_list_line() wrote a path with a line break as is, adding directives.
- The staging temp and place_output()'s temp had fixed names opened through
  whatever was there, a planted symlink included; they are created with
  O_EXCL, and a lock's default audit log is opened with O_NOFOLLOW.
- render.py's output-is-input guard covered clips and overlay videos only.
- color_hex() checked the length only, so 'yellow' drew black, verified.

Walkthrough

The PR expands playlist and URL refusals, rejects line breaks in concat-list paths, and validates hexadecimal colours. It changes temporary-file and audit-log handling, and expands render output collision checks to cover project input files.

Changes: Media and file safeguards

Layer / File(s) Summary
Input detection and refusal
scripts/_common/runner.py, scripts/_common/decision.py, scripts/_contract.py, docs/contract.md, docs/design-decisions.md, tests/test_contract.py, CHANGELOG.md
URL detection recognizes subfile inputs. Playlist checks recognize DASH and IMF by suffix or content. Concat-list paths containing line breaks are refused. Contract text, documentation, changelog entries, and tests cover these checks.
Temporary files and audit logs
scripts/_common/runner.py, scripts/_common/emit.py, scripts/batch.py, scripts/export.py, docs/design-decisions.md, tests/test_contract.py, tests/test_cut_copy.py, CHANGELOG.md
Staging and copy operations reserve hidden sibling temporary files exclusively and copy through the reserved descriptor. Default audit-log opens use symlink protections; explicitly named audit-log paths retain their prior open behavior.
Render output collision checks
scripts/render.py, tests/test_contract.py, CHANGELOG.md
Render checks the project file and gathered project input paths before accepting an output path. Audiogram image and overlay font paths are resolved relative to the project file.
Colour input validation
scripts/_common/color.py, scripts/_ass_overlay.py, scripts/caption.py, tests/test_contract.py, CHANGELOG.md
Colour validation rejects values that are not six hexadecimal digits. Tests cover invalid values and accepted prefixed hexadecimal values.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the main change: refusing DASH/IMF manifests and subfile URLs, refusing line breaks in concat paths, and never writing temp files through a planted link. Each of these matches a security fix in the changeset. The title is long (135 characters, 20 words) and uses a conventional-commit prefix, but it stays specific and related to the changes.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the template. It has a Summary that explains the security findings and why they are fixed privately first. It has a Test plan with checked items, concrete test counts, and an unchecked full-matrix CI item. It has a Siblings section that covers the defect classes, the sweeps run (grep and ffmpeg -formats), and the outcome for each row, including one filed item. The template asks for the sweep command in the form python3 tests/sweep.py; the author used grep and ffmpeg -formats instead, which the template allows as examples. The Siblings section does not state the defect class in a single sentence that avoids naming the reported tool, since it names ffmpeg and render.py paths, but this is a minor gap.

Inline comments:
Review comments at @scripts/_common/emit.py:
- Line 324: Update the default-log open path in audit() so it cannot follow a
symlink when os.O_NOFOLLOW is unavailable: use an established equivalent
protected open, or skip the default-log write and report audit_log_unwritable if
no equivalent exists. Keep explicitly named logs selected through ctx.audit_log
unchanged.

Review comments at @scripts/_common/runner.py:
- Around line 1314-1315: Update place_output so exclusive reservation remains
protected through the write: keep copy output on the reserved descriptor instead
of passing its pathname to shutil.copyfile, preventing a substituted symlink
from redirecting the write. For FFmpeg output, use a private temporary directory
and anchor directory operations to a trusted directory descriptor; preserve the
existing output behavior while ensuring concurrent processes cannot substitute
the reserved path.
- Line 826: Update the case-insensitive MPD signature check to also recognize
the 3GPP:PSS:profile:DASH1 profile, so manifests using it are rejected as DASH
regardless of filename suffix. Add a regression fixture for an MPD with that
profile saved as clip.mp4.

Review comments at @scripts/batch.py:
- Line 271: Update the `reserve_sibling` reservation-and-copy flows for the
batch output and fill output so an attacker cannot replace the reserved path
before the copy writes to it. Keep the exclusively created file protected
through the copy, such as by copying through its still-open descriptor, or use a
private temporary directory; do not close the descriptor and then reopen the
shared-directory path.

Review comments at @scripts/render.py:
- Around line 504-505: Update the overlay input collector in render.py to
include each overlay’s font_file path alongside its image and video paths, so
the existing output-is-input guard also rejects overwriting a font file used by
the overlay stage.
- Line 497: Update the audiogram stage’s image argument handling around
add(obj.get("image")) to resolve local image values using the same
project-directory resolution as the input guard before passing them to
waveform.py. Keep URL values raw so waveform.py retains its network-access
rejection behavior.
- Line 502: In project_input_files, validate the value of proj.get("overlays")
before iterating it: process entries only when it is a list, and treat other
values as empty here so validation remains the overlay stage’s responsibility.

…DASH profile, guard overlay fonts

Review of #456:
- place_output() and batch.py's cross-filesystem delivery closed the
  exclusively created temp and reopened it by name with copyfile(); they now
  write the descriptor that created it (copy_to_sibling()).
- dash_probe() also accepts 3GPP:PSS:profile:DASH1 in place of dash:profile.
- project_input_files() takes overlays[].font_file, and an overlays value
  that is not a list is left to the overlay stage instead of a traceback.
- audiogram.image reaches waveform.py resolved against the project file, the
  path the output guard checks.
- Without O_NOFOLLOW (Windows), a symlink at the default audit-log name is
  refused by looking first.

Protect the project file from the final output.

The final output guard checks the files the project names, but not the project file itself. If output in the project resolves to the project JSON path, and the run uses --overwrite, the final place_output call can replace the project file with the rendered media. Add the project file to the guard inputs:

Suggested fix

-    refuse_output_is_input(output, *project_input_files(proj, rel))
+    refuse_output_is_input(output, os.path.abspath(args.project), *project_input_files(proj, rel))

reserved `fd` is transferred to a managed file object before opening `src`. If
creating that file object fails, explicitly close `fd`; preserve the existing
temporary-file cleanup and copy behavior.
- Line 1330: Update reserve_sibling to fail closed when _reserve returns no file
descriptor: raise an OSError instead of returning the unreserved path. When a
descriptor is returned, close it before returning the reserved path.

Review comments at @scripts/render.py:
- Line 507: Update the overlay argument-forwarding loop so a non-empty font_file
is resolved against the project directory using the same resolution as the
output guard before it is passed to overlay.py. Keep forwarding other overlay
values unchanged.

…osed on an unreserved temp

Second review of #456:
- render.py's output guard includes the project file itself
- an overlay's font_file reaches overlay.py resolved against the project file
- reserve_sibling() refuses (output_dir_not_writable) when the exclusive create
  fails instead of returning a name nobody reserved
- copy_to_sibling() closes the descriptor if wrapping it fails

…NOFOLLOW is missing

Without O_NOFOLLOW a link could appear between the islink() look and the
open; the descriptor is now compared with the name (lstat) before anything is
written, and closed unwritten if they differ. The render guard test compares
forwarded paths by file identity, not spelling (Windows 8.3 short names).

- Line 1266: Update the output guard near `refuse_output_is_input` so it runs
only when the selected run will write the final output; skip it for preview-only

- Line 1266: Update the input list passed to refuse_output_is_input to include

place_output can replace it.

…uard on previews

Third review of #456: a brand file's font_file and logo (resolved against the
brand file, as load_brand() does) are inputs the output may not replace; a
--stop-after preview never writes the output, so it is not refused.

…W is missing

A link swapped for a hard link to its target before the lstat passed the
identity check; the opened file must also be a regular file with one name.
