Follow-up to #3981.

Context

Reviewing #3981 raised the question of whether ZipFileEntry should be a uint64 pair
instead of a signed one.

It should not, and looking into it turned up a reachable panic that switching to
uint64 would have hidden rather than fixed.

The bug

NewReader read ZIP64 offsets and sizes from disk as uint64 and converted them to
int64 without checking them. Take a central directory entry with the 0xFFFFFFFF
sentinel and a ZIP64 extra field declaring a stored size of 1<<63. Line numbers are in
the pre-fix reader:

  1. reader.go:173: int64(bytesToRead) makes the entry length negative.
  2. reader.go:350: ReadAllFileData's length > maxSize check is a signed compare,
    so the negative length passes it.
  3. reader.go:375: make([]byte, size) panics.
--- FAIL: FuzzReader/seed#5
panic: runtime error: makeslice: len out of range
  zipstream.readBytes(..., 0x8000000000000000)  reader.go:375
  zipstream.Reader.ReadAllFileData(...)          reader.go:354

These values are attacker-controlled in any TDF. The existing fuzz harness already
exercised this code; it just had no seed that reached the panic.

Four other paths had the same problem:

  • The ZIP64 locator's CDOffset, the central-directory cursor, and the local header
    offset were all converted unchecked.
  • A size that stays inside the archive could still extend past the central directory, so
    ReadAllFileData would return ZIP metadata as file content.
  • ReadFileData bounded length but not index. A TDF reader computes index by adding
    up the manifest's segment sizes, so a forged manifest could read past the end of the
    entry.

The fix

Every position read from disk is now checked through a small unexported bound type
before it reaches a Seek or make:

func (b bound) offset(field string, base, delta uint64) (int64, error) {
	if b.limit > math.MaxInt64 || base > b.limit || delta > b.limit-base {
		return 0, fmt.Errorf("%w: %s at %d+%d runs past the %s at %d",
			errZipFormat, field, base, delta, b.name, b.limit)
	}
	return int64(base + delta), nil
}
  • Two limits. archiveBound derives the archive length from the EOCD Seek, which
    the code already made but whose return value it discarded. narrow uses that to check
    the central directory start read from the file.
    • The ZIP64 EOCD record and central directory entries are checked against the archive
      length.
    • Local headers and file data come before the central directory, so they are checked
      against its start.
  • One comparison per position. Because the limit fits in an int64, a single check
    rejects values above MaxInt64 and values that are merely out of range. The subtraction
    keeps the addition from wrapping before it is checked.
  • Inclusive limit. The comparison is inclusive because the last entry's data ends
    exactly at the central directory in every archive our writer emits.
    TestWriterManifestEndsAtCentralDirectory pins this.
  • Why a type. A helper taking several uint64 arguments in a row would still compile
    if two were swapped, silently breaking the check. Each bound also carries its own name
    for error messages.
  • Entry count. The ZIP64 entry count is capped at archive / cdFileHeaderSize, so an
    impossible count fails immediately instead of after billions of failed seeks.
  • ReadFileData. It now checks index as well as length. Its error names the
    entry, offset, length and entry size instead of a bare zip: not a valid file size.

This is the read-side counterpart to checkFitsInCentralDirectory from #3981, which
refuses to write a value too large for a 32-bit field. Until now nothing checked a hostile
64-bit value on the way back in.

Why not uint64

  • Both fields are unexported in an internal/ package, so nothing outside it needs
    uint64.
  • Everything that uses them is signed: io.ReadSeeker.Seek, make(), and the int64
    returned by ReadFileData, ReadAllFileData and ReadFileSize, which TDFReader
    passes on to sdk/tdf.go.
  • uint64 storage would only move the conversion into readBytes, where there is no
    archive length to check against. make([]byte, hugeUint64) still panics.

The type is renamed to zipFileEntry (it was never used outside the package). It keeps
signed fields, with a documented guarantee: both are non-negative and index+length is
at most the start of the central directory.

Testing

zip64_conformance_test.go tests each check separately. Several checks return
errZipFormat, so each test also asserts which check fired, not just
errors.Is(err, errZipFormat). buildRawZip gained override fields so a fixture can
declare a false ZIP64 size or offset.

  • Forged ZIP64 values: TestReaderRejectsZip64ValuesBeyondArchive covers stored size
    and header offset, each above MaxInt64 and just past EOF.
  • The central directory limit:
    • TestReaderEntryBoundaryIsCentralDirectory accepts data ending exactly at the central
      directory and rejects one byte more.
    • TestReaderRejectsEntryOverrunningCentralDirectory rejects a size that stays inside
      the archive but extends past the central directory.
    • TestWriterManifestEndsAtCentralDirectory covers archives our writer produces.
  • Each remaining check:
    • TestReaderRejectsZip64LocatorOffsetBeyondArchive
    • TestReaderRejectsCentralDirectoryStartBeyondArchive
    • TestReaderRejectsCentralDirectoryWalkBeyondArchive
    • TestReaderBoundsLocalHeaderByCentralDirectory
    • TestReaderRejectsLocalHeaderLengthsOverrunningCentralDirectory
    • TestReaderRejectsEntryCountBeyondArchive
    • TestReaderRejectsImplausibleSeekPosition
  • ReadFileData offsets: TestReadFileDataBoundsIndex.
  • FuzzReader:
    • New seeds: the 1<<63 panic, and a size that extends past the central directory.
    • The fuzz test now checks that every accepted entry ends at or before the central
      directory, that in-range ReadFileData calls succeed, and that {size, 1} fails.
      Temporarily removing the index check makes it fail on its first seed.

Each check was broken in turn to confirm that at least one test fails without it.

  • go test ./internal/zipstream/... -race passes.
  • make fuzz passes for every target. A longer FuzzReader run reached over 40M
    executions with no crashes.
  • golangci-lint run ./internal/zipstream/... reports 0 issues, and gofmt is clean.

Not in this PR (problems that predate it)

  • Duplicate entry names: a later entry silently replaces an earlier one.
  • A ZIP64 sentinel without a ZIP64 extra field is accepted as a literal value above 4 GiB.
  • errZipFormatFileHeader doesn't wrap errZipFormat, and several bare errZipFormat
    returns don't say which record was bad.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The ZIP reader now validates disk-derived offsets and sizes against archive and central-directory boundaries. It stores checked entry data ranges, bounds read indexes, and adds conformance and fuzz tests for forged ZIP64 metadata.

Changes

ZIP stream validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Archive and directory bounds
sdk/internal/zipstream/reader.go, sdk/internal/zipstream/zip64_conformance_test.go
NewReader checks archive positions, ZIP64 locator offsets, central-directory bounds, and declared entry counts. Conformance tests cover invalid offsets, counts, and directory positions.
Entry data and read bounds
sdk/internal/zipstream/reader.go, sdk/internal/zipstream/zip64_conformance_test.go
NewReader stores checked entry data ranges. ReadFileData rejects indexes and lengths outside those ranges. Tests cover data crossing the central-directory boundary and invalid read ranges.
Boundary and fuzz coverage
sdk/internal/zipstream/fuzz_test.go, sdk/internal/zipstream/zip64_conformance_test.go
Fuzz seeds and conformance tests exercise oversized ZIP64 values, central-directory overruns, and bounded reads.

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 219b1

Malformed archives can still have records outside their declared central directory accepted. Resolve or explicitly accept this remaining validation gap before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 219b1

The change strengthens validation of untrusted archives. No introduced or worsened security issue was identified in the reviewed paths, but malformed-directory handling and concurrent-use guarantees remain incompletely established.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The demonstrated exposure is the SDK process parsing a supplied archive and reading its manifest or payload. Archive metadata and manifest segment offsets are attacker-controlled inputs; deployment-wide, tenant-wide, or cross-service exposure was not established.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — For successfully constructed readers, the new bounds prevent oversized unsigned stored sizes from becoming negative allocation lengths and prevent manifest-derived indexes from reading beyond the selected entry. These controls close the identified paths through entry construction and readBytes.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The bound helper checks the limit, base, and remaining distance before addition and signed conversion. TDFReader is published only after successful ZIP reader construction, preventing a parsing failure from exposing partially built entry state through that constructor.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Each sequential read seeks absolutely and returns no buffer on a short read, so the next read does not depend on the interrupted cursor position. One shared seeker remains unsynchronized, as at base; concurrent-use guarantees were not established and are not an observed regression.

Jira: https://virtru.atlassian.net/browse/DSPX-4590

The read-side counterpart to opentdf#3936, which fixed the same class of bug on
the
write side. Independent of every open stack — no PR in DSPX-2604 (opentdf#3941,
opentdf#3943-opentdf#3949) touches `sdk/internal/zipstream`, and opentdf#4043 leaves
`readBytes`
alone — so this sits directly on `main` and can land in any order.

## The bug

`readBytes` issued a single `Read` and, on the nil-error path, returned
the
whole `make()`'d buffer regardless of how many bytes actually arrived:

```go
buf := make([]byte, size)
n, err := readerSeeker.Read(buf)
if errors.Is(err, io.EOF) { return buf[:n], io.EOF }
if err != nil { return buf[:n], ... }
return buf, nil   // full length, zero-padded, n discarded
```

`io.Reader` explicitly permits `0 < n < len(p)` with a nil error, so the
tail
of the buffer comes back as zeros that never existed in the archive —
reported as success.

Demonstrated against a valid fixture with a one-byte-at-a-time
`ReadSeeker`:

```
want "payload bytes"
got  "p\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00"  err=<nil>  len=13
```

`bytes.Reader` never reads short, which is why no existing test caught
it.
But `NewReader` takes a caller-supplied `io.ReadSeeker`, and the
implementations that *do* read short in practice — HTTP range requests,
network filesystems — are exactly the ones large archives get served
from.

The `ErrSegSizeMismatch` guard in `tdf.go` (`sdk/tdf.go:1114`) cannot
catch
this either: `make()` already gave the buffer the length that check is
looking for, so the check is comparing a value that is correct by
construction. A silently zero-padded segment reaches AES-GCM and fails
there instead, several layers from the cause.

## Why this is the same fix as opentdf#3936

opentdf#3936 ("fill each segment with io.ReadFull and size the buffer to the
input")
made this argument for `CreateTDFContext`'s encrypt loop:

> io.Reader.Read is permitted to return fewer bytes than the caller
asked for
> without erroring… A `*bytes.Reader` or `*os.File` on a local disk
rarely
> returns short, which is why this has held up, but any wrapping
ReadSeeker —
> a decompressor, a network-backed store, an instrumented reader — can
> trigger it and there is nothing wrong with the input when it does.

Same defect, opposite consequence. On the write side a short read made
the
loop *fail loudly* on valid input (`io.ReadSeeker.Read size mismatch`).
Here
it *silently corrupts*: no error, full-length buffer, invented bytes.
The
noisy direction got fixed; the quiet one was left, and it is the worse
of the
two. This closes it.

## The fix

`io.ReadFull`, which retries the short read and reports
`io.ErrUnexpectedEOF` when the archive really is truncated. Two related
changes follow from it:

- **No data is returned alongside an error.** The old code handed back a
  partial buffer with a bare `io.EOF` — a trap for a caller doing the
reflexive `errors.Is(err, io.EOF)` → "normal end of stream", which would
  silently accept a truncated payload. All four production callers
(`sdk.go:489`, `tdf.go:864`, `tdf.go:987`, `tdf.go:1109`) already treat
the
  error as fatal, so nothing depends on the old shape.
- **`io.EOF` is normalized to `io.ErrUnexpectedEOF`.** `io.ReadFull`
reports
the bare sentinel when it reads *nothing* — a read starting exactly at
the
end of a truncated archive — and `io.ErrUnexpectedEOF` only when it got
part of the request. Both mean the same thing to a caller that asked for
a
byte count taken from the central directory, and letting the first one
out
  would have reopened the trap above. Zero-length reads are unaffected;
  `io.ReadFull` returns nil for them even at EOF. (Thanks @​opencode for
  catching this.)
- **A zero-length read at the end of the archive now succeeds.** Any
`Read`
on an exhausted `bytes.Reader` reports `io.EOF`, including a zero-length
  one, so an empty entry stored last used to fail to read back.

Error *classification* is deliberately left alone — `readBytes` still
does
not wrap `errZipFormat`. Eight other sites in this file have the same
issue
and that belongs in one follow-up, not here.

## Reading this next to opentdf#3945

opentdf#3945 goes the other way on the same sentinel: it makes the encrypt loop
*tolerate* `io.EOF` and `io.ErrUnexpectedEOF` from `io.ReadFull`, while
this
PR makes `io.ErrUnexpectedEOF` fatal. Both are right, because the
contracts
differ. The write side has no declared length — a short final read just
means
the caller's stream ended. The read side has a length from the central
directory, so a short read means the archive is truncated.

The zero-length change above is also the mirror of opentdf#3945's empty-payload
handling ("An empty payload still gets one empty segment").
`zeroLenOKReader`
in `tdf_segment_defaults_test.go` exists because `SDK.CreateTDF` cannot
currently encrypt a genuinely empty `io.Reader`; opentdf#3945 fixes the write
half
and this fixes the read half. Worth rechecking whether that workaround
can be
deleted once both have landed — not assuming it, since the comment there
describes more than one quirk.

## Tests

`chunkedSeeker` in `reader_test.go` serves at most N bytes per `Read`
and
reports no error for the short ones, standing in for the range-backed
reader
`bytes.Reader` cannot model. Five cases: short reads reassembled, a
partially
satisfiable read rejected with `io.ErrUnexpectedEOF` and no partial
buffer, a
read starting at EOF rejected with the same sentinel rather than
`io.EOF`, a
zero-length read at EOF succeeding, and the same short read driven
end-to-end
through `ReadAllFileData`.

Each was verified to **fail against the implementation it guards** — the
first four against the original `readBytes`, the EOF-normalization case
against this PR with the conversion removed — so they are regression
tests
rather than tautologies.

They use testify, unlike the rest of `reader_test.go`, which is
`t.Fatalf`
throughout — the other three test files in the package use testify, and
`require.ErrorIs(err, io.ErrUnexpectedEOF)` has no clean `t.Fatalf`
form. Say
the word if you would rather the file stay internally consistent.

Signed-off-by: Dave Mihalcik <dmihalcik@virtru.com>
go-sdk's zip layer disagrees with the other SDKs in a handful of places.
This addresses findings 1-6 from the DSPX-4590 investigation (finding 7,
per-segment size defaults, is the parent PR this one is stacked on).

## Finding 1 (interop): writer switched to ZIP64 at 4 GiB instead of 2 GiB

`Finalize` compared against `^uint32(0)`, so a payload between 2 GiB and 4 GiB
was written as a zip32 archive with a value in the top half of the unsigned
32-bit range. java-sdk widens those central-directory fields *signed*, so
deployed Java clients read the size/offset back as a negative number and cannot
open the container. web-sdk always writes ZIP64, java-sdk (since java-sdk#393)
switches at `Integer.MAX_VALUE`.

- New `maxNonZip64Value = math.MaxInt32` in `zip_primitives.go`, mirroring
  java-sdk's `MAX_NON_ZIP64_VALUE`.
- The rule is applied to the uncompressed size, the compressed size **and**
  `entry.Offset` (the local-header offset), which was previously not checked at
  all -- an archive under 2 GiB of payload could still place a later entry's
  header past the boundary.
- The threshold is injectable: `Config.MaxNonZip64Value` plus a
  `WithMaxNonZip64Value` option (clamped to `(0, maxNonZip64Value]`, so it can
  only ever make the writer *more* eager to use ZIP64). This lets the tests
  drive the ZIP64 path with a 1 KiB threshold instead of allocating gigabytes.

## Finding 2: ZIP64 extra field parsed positionally

The reader assumed the ZIP64 extended-information field was the first entry in
the extra-field area and that all three values were always present. Per APPNOTE
4.5.3 the values appear in the order *original size, compressed size, local
header offset*, and each is present **only** when its central-directory
counterpart holds the `0xFFFFFFFF` sentinel. A container whose extra area leads
with, say, an extended-timestamp field (tag `0x5455`) was misparsed.

`parseZip64ExtraField` now walks the whole extra area, skips foreign tags,
reads values in spec order gated on the sentinels, and rejects a field that
claims to run past the end of the area.

## Finding 3: ZIP64 detected from the CD offset alone

`NewReader` only looked at `CentralDirectoryOffset == 0xFFFFFFFF`. An archive
that overflows the entry count (`0xFFFF`) or the central-directory size but not
the offset was read as zip32. `eocdNeedsZip64` now checks all three EOCD
sentinel fields.

## Finding 4: per-entry ZIP64 extra field ignored without a ZIP64 EOCD

A writer may put a ZIP64 extra field on an individual entry while leaving the
EOCD in zip32 form. The reader now consults the extra field whenever the
central-directory header carries a sentinel, independent of the EOCD form.

## Finding 5: central-directory cursor could wrap at uint16

`nextCD` was advanced with uint16 arithmetic and did not include the file
comment. A 65000-byte filename plus a 600-byte extra field wraps to 110 and
the reader walks into the middle of a header. The advance is now done in
uint64 and includes `FileCommentLength`.

## Finding 6: silent truncation when a value does not fit 32 bits

The zip32 paths narrowed with a bare cast. `checkFitsInCentralDirectory` now
returns a new `ErrFieldOverflow` for the compressed size, uncompressed size,
local-header offset, central-directory size/offset and entry count instead of
writing a corrupt archive. (With finding 1 in place this is unreachable in
normal operation; it is a backstop against future callers.)

## Tests

`sdk/internal/zipstream/zip64_conformance_test.go` -- hand-assembles raw zip
archives (`buildRawZip`) so the reader can be pointed at containers no Go
writer would produce: extra field not first, differing compressed and
uncompressed sizes so the APPNOTE 4.5.3 ordering is actually asserted (a
fixture with equal sizes passes either way), per-entry ZIP64 under a zip32
EOCD, a central-directory file comment, the 65646-byte name+extra case that
wraps to 110 at uint16, ZIP64 implied by the entry count, and a malformed
extra field. Writer side: `TestWriterSwitchesToZip64AtInjectedThreshold` uses
the injected 1 KiB threshold, `TestEntryNeedsZip64AtTwoGiB` pins
`maxNonZip64Value == math.MaxInt32` and covers size / compressed size /
offset, `TestCentralDirectoryNarrowingGuard` covers finding 6.
`sdk/internal/zipstream/fuzz_test.go` -- two new seeds for the `nextCD`
overflow and the file-comment case.

The zip reader took ZIP64 offsets and sizes straight off disk as uint64 and
narrowed them to int64 without a check. A central directory entry carrying the
0xFFFFFFFF sentinel plus a ZIP64 extra field declaring a stored size of 1<<63
produced a negative entry length. ReadAllFileData only compares the length
against maxSize, which a negative value passes, so readBytes then panicked in
make([]byte, size). Those values are attacker-controlled in any TDF, and the
existing fuzz harness walks exactly that path.

Bound every disk-sourced position instead. The first
Seek(-endOfCDRecordSize, io.SeekEnd) already yields the archive length for
free, and since that came from an int64, a single comparison rules out both
the above-MaxInt64 narrowing and a merely-past-EOF offset. This is the
read-side counterpart to checkFitsInCentralDirectory, which already refuses to
narrow a value into a 32-bit field on write.

The checking is expressed as a `bound` type rather than a helper taking a run
of same-typed uint64s, where swapping two arguments would be a silent security
bug that still type-checks. A bound is a limit already known to fit in an
int64; the only ways to obtain one are archiveBound, which derives it from a
length the io.ReadSeeker reported, and narrow, which cannot widen. A raw
uint64 read off disk cannot become a limit without passing through narrow, so
the precondition that makes the int64 conversion safe is carried by the type
instead of by an `if` a hundred lines away. Each bound also carries the name
it appears under in error messages, so a correct check cannot report the wrong
reason.

Entry data is bounded by the start of the central directory, not the end of
the archive. Stopping at EOF would still let a forged size swallow the central
directory and the EOCD, and ReadAllFileData would hand that ZIP metadata back
as file content.

zipFileEntry is unexported and stays a signed pair: every consumer is signed,
and uint64 storage would only move the narrowing into readBytes, where there
is no archive length left to check against.

Also bounds the ZIP64 entry count by the room the archive has, so a hostile
count fails immediately rather than after billions of failed seeks.

## Tests

zip64_conformance_test.go covers each bound separately, since seven guards now
wrap errZipFormat and an errors.Is alone cannot tell which one fired: a
central directory start past the archive (with a zero entry count, so the walk
cannot mask the guard), a walk that leaves the archive mid-iteration (forged
FileCommentLength), a local header inside the archive but past the central
directory, local header lengths that overrun the central directory, and an
io.ReadSeeker reporting an implausible position. The entry-count test asserts
the short-circuit by counting Seeks rather than by the error value.
TestReadFileDataBoundsIndex gained an interior read that actually checks the
returned offset -- the shared fixture is filled with 0xFF, so a read at the
wrong index compared equal -- plus the two missing length cases.

fuzz_test.go derives the overrunning-size seed from the fixture instead of
hard-coding 200, and fails if it no longer reaches past the central directory.
The fuzz body now drives ReadFileData at the entry boundaries too.

Every guard was mutation-tested: each one was broken in turn and confirmed to
take a test down with it.

Remove the 10 MB default manifest size cap from LoadTDF and IsValidTdf.
DSPX-4502 targets 50 TiB payloads whose manifests exceed 1 GiB, and the
default cap made default-config LoadTDF reject such legitimate TDFs.
Memory scaling for very large manifests is tracked in DSPX-4905.

The defence against hostile declared ZIP sizes is the archive bounds
checking in zipstream.NewReader (#4043) plus the negative-length guards
in ReadAllFileData/readBytes, not a size cap: a manifest entry declaring
more bytes than the archive holds is still rejected before allocation.

WithMaxManifestSize stays as an opt-in limit (it still requires a
positive size). In zipstream, a zero or negative manifest limit, the
new default, means no limit; ReadAllFileData's contract is unchanged.

Behaviour change: callers that relied on the implicit 10 MB cap to
bound memory must now pass WithMaxManifestSize explicitly.

## Summary
- Removes the 10 MB default manifest cap from the SDK reader
(`defaultMaxManifestSize`) and from zipstream (`manifestMaxSize`).
- DSPX-4502 targets payloads up to 50 TiB, whose manifests grow past 1
GiB (policy size plus per-segment entries). No fixed default can serve
that, and it silently broke loading of large TDFs.
- Forged ZIP sizes do not need a cap: `NewReader` already checks every
declared size and offset against the archive bounds (DSPX-4590, #4043).
- `WithMaxManifestSize(n)` stays as an opt-in memory bound; `n` must be
> 0. `WithTDFManifestMaxSize` treats a non-positive size as no cap.

## Behaviour change
`LoadTDF` and `IsValidTdf` now accept manifests over 10 MB by default.
Callers that relied on the old default to bound memory on untrusted
input should pass `WithMaxManifestSize`. Memory scaling of very large
manifests is tracked separately in DSPX-4905.

## Testing
- `Test_LargeManifest_WithMaxManifest`: an 11 MB manifest loads with
default options; an explicit limit still rejects larger ones;
`WithMaxManifestSize(0)` is an error.
- `TestIsValidTdf_NoDefaultManifestSizeCap` and new zipstream
`TDFReader` tests cover the default and opt-in paths.
- `go test ./...` in `sdk` and `sdk/internal/zipstream`; `golangci-lint
run ./...` in `sdk` shows no findings in touched files. Root `make lint`
and `make test` not yet run.

Split out of the DSPX-5102 hardening work; independent of #4212.

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **New Features**
* TDF manifests larger than 10 MiB can now be read and validated with
default settings, provided they fit within the archive’s bounds.
* Manifest size limits are now opt-in: configure a positive limit to cap
the size. Zero or negative values do not impose an application-level
limit.
* **Bug Fixes**
* Manifests within a configured positive limit remain accepted, while
those exceeding it are rejected.

A ZIP64 stored size of 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF narrows to int64 -1, which would
reach make([]byte, -1) (#4202). NewReader already rejects it
because every ZIP64 size and offset is checked against the archive bounds
(DSPX-4590, #4043), so there is no code change here.

The existing conformance table covers 1<<63, which narrows to MinInt64. Add
the exact MaxUint64 value, which narrows to -1, as a row and as a FuzzReader
seed.

The bounds check is written as delta > limit-base. MaxUint64 is the value
that wraps if it were ever rewritten as base+delta > limit; the other rows
(1<<63, 1<<40) do not wrap, so they would not notice. Add MaxUint64 as a
conformance row and as a FuzzReader seed. Both fail if the check is made
additive.
