https://virtru.atlassian.net/browse/DSPX-4591

Audit of java-sdk #393 against the Go
and Web zip implementations turned up four ZIP64/APPNOTE conformance divergences in
web-sdk. Findings 1, 2 and 4 (the reader) are addressed here. Finding 3 (the writer's
data descriptor) is split out into #1086 so the two can land independently.

Related DSPX-4591 PRs:

Finding 1 — the reader never parsed the end of central directory record

getCDBuffers() scanned the last 1000 bytes of the file backwards for anything
matching the central directory signature 0x02014b50 and treated every hit as an
entry, inferring record boundaries from the position of the next hit.

Replaced with real end-of-central-directory parsing:

  • ZipReader.getEndOfCentralDirectory() locates the EOCD record by scanning the tail
    for 0x06054b50 and accepting a candidate only when its declared comment length
    puts the end of the comment exactly at the end of the archive. That rules out
    payload bytes that happen to spell the signature, and it handles trailing archive
    comments. The tail read starts at 1 KiB (enough for the comment-less containers we
    write) and widens once to 22 + 0xffff + 20 bytes if the record isn't in there.
  • When any of the three EOCD fields carries its sentinel (0xffff entry count,
    0xffffffff CD size, 0xffffffff CD offset) the reader follows the ZIP64 end of
    central directory locator that sits immediately before the EOCD and reads the ZIP64
    EOCD record it points at, taking the entry count, CD size and CD offset from there.
  • getCDBuffers() now takes the central directory chunk plus the declared entry
    count, and walks exactly that many records from the declared offset, advancing by
    46 + fileNameLength + extraFieldLength + fileCommentLength and validating the
    signature and the remaining length at each step.
  • Cross-checks added: the CD chunk must be the declared length, the declared CD size
    must be at least 46 * entryCount, and it is bounded at 16 MiB so a hostile or
    corrupt EOCD can't ask us to buffer the sentinel 4 GiB.

getCDBuffers changed signature. It's a public method on ZipReader but ZipReader
is not re-exported from any package entry point (lib/tdf3/src/utils/index.ts only),
so this isn't a published API break.

Post-review: the 1 KiB tail read can contain the EOCD but not the zip64 locator that
sits 20 bytes before it, when a comment of about 1 KiB pushes the EOCD toward the start
of the tail. When the EOCD needs zip64 and the locator could have been cut off, the
reader now re-reads the maximum window and finds the EOCD again.

Finding 2 — ZIP64 extra field ignored unless versionNeededToExtract >= 45

Dropped the version gate in parseCDBuffer. APPNOTE 4.5.3 does not condition the
validity of a ZIP64 extended information extra field on the version-needed-to-extract
byte; the sentinel values in the fixed-size fields are what select it. The gate meant
a conformant producer writing a ZIP64 extra with a lower declared version had it
silently dropped, leaving 0xffffffff to flow into byteStart/byteEnd arithmetic
as if it were a real number.

sliceExtraFields already did the right thing (iterates the whole extra-field area,
rejects conflicting duplicate header IDs, bounds-checks dataSize, reads the ZIP64
fields in APPNOTE order) and is unchanged. Also added a length guard to parseCDBuffer
so a record shorter than the 46-byte fixed prefix is rejected rather than parsed out
of a short buffer.

Post-review: in a zip64 archive, an entry that carries a 0xffffffff sentinel but has
no ZIP64 extra field to resolve it is now rejected with InvalidFileError. Previously
the sentinel would have been used as a literal offset or size. parseCDBuffer takes an
archiveIsZip64 flag for this. Non-zip64 archives may legitimately hold a literal
0xffffffff, so they keep the old behaviour.

Finding 4 — 32-bit shift on a potentially large size in an error path

(cdObj.uncompressedSize >> 10) became Math.floor(cdObj.uncompressedSize / 1024).
>> coerces to signed 32 bits, so a 2 GiB manifest used to be reported as
-2,097,152 KiB. Error-message only.

Tests

lib/tests/mocha/unit/zip.spec.ts gains a buildZip helper that assembles complete
in-memory archives with ZipWriter, so the reader is exercised end to end rather than
against hand-rolled record fragments. New coverage:

  • zip64 and non-zip64 round trips (central directory, manifest, payload segment)
  • an archive with a trailing comment
  • an archive whose comment contains the EOCD signature bytes
  • an archive with a maximum-length (64 KiB) comment, which forces the widened tail read
  • a payload containing the bytes 0x02014b50 — the false-positive case
  • an entry whose ZIP64 extra field is not the first extra field (both as a bare
    central directory record and inside a full archive)
  • a ZIP64 extra field honoured with versionNeededToExtract forced to 20
  • a zip64 archive whose comment pushes the zip64 locator out of the initial tail read
  • rejection cases: missing EOCD, missing ZIP64 locator, overstated entry count
  • an unresolved zip64 sentinel is rejected in a zip64 archive, both with no extra field
    and with only an unrelated extra field, and accepted in a non-zip64 one
  • the oversized-manifest error message reports a positive KiB figure

The 0x02014b50 test was verified against the pre-change reader: with the old backward
scanner restored, getCentralDirectory() returns four entries
(['', '', '0.manifest.json', '0.payload']) instead of two, the two empty-named ones
being payload bytes misread as central directory records. It passes with the new
reader.

Cross-SDK interop

The shared interop harness is DSPX-4592 and is already built in opentdf/tests on
branch DSPX-4592-java-underflow. It needs nothing from this PR.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved reliability when opening ZIP and ZIP64 archives, including archives with comments. Invalid, incomplete, or inconsistent archive data is now rejected with clearer file errors.
    • Improved size reporting for oversized manifests, including more accurate KiB values for large files.

📝 Walkthrough

The ZIP reader now resolves EOCD and ZIP64 directory metadata, reads and validates central-directory records by declared count and length, and rejects malformed or truncated archive data. ZIP64 entry parsing and manifest-size error formatting also changed.

Changes: ZIP reader parsing

Layer / File(s) Summary
EOCD and central-directory boundaries
lib/tdf3/src/utils/zip-reader.ts, lib/tests/mocha/unit/zip.spec.ts
The reader resolves EOCD metadata, reads the declared directory range, and parses records by count and length. It rejects invalid boundaries and malformed records. Tests cover ZIP32 and ZIP64 archives, comments, malformed input, and manifest-size formatting.
ZIP64 central-directory entry parsing
lib/tdf3/src/utils/zip-reader.ts, lib/tests/mocha/unit/zip.spec.ts
The parser checks ZIP64 extra fields and rejects unresolved sentinels in ZIP64 archives. Tests cover extra-field placement, version values, and invalid entry headers.

A rabbit checks the archive’s tail,
And counts each record without fail.
ZIP64 fields fall into place,
Bad bounds are stopped before the race.
Then carrots crunch beside the case.

Closes [DSPX-4592](https://virtru.atlassian.net/browse/DSPX-4592).

## Why

ZIP central-directory offsets and sizes are 32-bit **unsigned** on the
wire. A reader that widens one with a signed read sees anything `>=
2**31` as negative; at or above `2**32` the format mandates the ZIP64
sentinel, so the 32-bit field never holds a real value. That leaves
exactly one broken window, `[2**31, 2**32)`, and nothing in this suite
reached it — `--large` is 5 GiB, which steps straight over.

## What lands

- `xtest/sizes.py` — adds `medium` (2 254 857 830 B, ~102 MiB inside the
low edge of the window — shrinking it doesn't make the test cheaper, it
makes it vacuous) and the window predicates (`in_zip64_window`,
`exercises_zip64_window`).
- `xtest/zipinspect.py` — a raw ZIP central-directory reader that keeps
the 32-bit fields alongside the resolved values. `zipfile` normalises
ZIP64 away, which is exactly the encoding under test. Lets a failure
name the SDK at fault instead of reporting "decrypt failed" after an
hour and 6 GiB of IO.
- `xtest/test_zip64.py` — the roundtrip cell, marked `zip64` and
**deselected** (not skipped) unless the session's sizes reach `2**31`.
Asserts an offset actually landed in the window, so a mis-sized payload
fails rather than passes vacuously. Writer conformance is checked
*before* the reader xfail is applied, so a writer regression can't hide
behind a known reader bug. Reuses `tdfs.skip_chunky_skew` (from
[#590](#590)) to keep the
independent segment-defaulting defect out of the ZIP64 result.
- `tdfs.zip64_reader_xfail` — `xfail(strict=True)` keyed on semver for
java decryptors predating java-sdk#393. Strict, so the cell must flip to
a hard failure when the fix ships and somebody deletes the predicate.
- A nightly-only `zip64` job in `xtest.yml`: own 90 m timeout, matrixed
over the encrypting SDK, no `--skip-released-pairs` (a released java
decryptor is the point). Parses its own junit XML and fails if no cell
executed. Also pins the `bench` job's platform ref through the same
resolved main SHA the zip64 job uses, so both share one commit instead
of resolving "main" independently.
- `xtest/test_zip64_units.py` (20 tests) on the offline PR gate, since
the nightly's verdict is only as good as this parser.
- `spec/DSPX-4592.md` — spec and live-run findings.

## Sibling PRs

| Repo | PR | Covers |
|---|---|---|
| java-sdk | opentdf/java-sdk#396 | DSPX-4589 — `readUnsignedInt`,
`needsZip64`, segment-size defaulting |
| platform (go) | opentdf/platform#3979 | DSPX-4590 —
`resolveSegmentSizes`, `LoadTDF` payload size |
| web-sdk | opentdf/web-sdk#1017 | DSPX-4591 — ZIP64 writer conformance
|

Stacked on [#590](#590) (chunky
segment-defaulting), which stacks on
[#589](#589) (configurable payload
sizes), which stacks on
[#588](#588) (XT_FORCE_SUPPORTS).
This PR is scoped to ZIP64 conformance only — chunky segment-defaulting
coverage split out to #590 since it's an orthogonal,
independently-mergeable concern found along the way.

## Follow-ups (not in this PR)

- Once the go and java fixes release, replace the `exit 1` in the
`chunky)` case of `xtest/sdk/{go,java}/cli.sh` with real version gates.
- Consider widening `zip64_reader_xfail` once the first nightly reports
which cells actually fail.

## Verification

`ruff check` / `ruff format` / `pyright` clean from `xtest/`. Full
offline harness suite (177 tests) passes. `actionlint` on
`xtest.yml`/`check.yml` reports the same 15 pre-existing shellcheck info
findings as `main`, no new ones.

Draft: the `zip64` job has not had a live `workflow_dispatch` run yet.
Doing that against this branch is the last gate before marking ready.

start of the initial tail to include its locator, widen the read to
MAX_EOCDR_SEARCH_SIZE before calling getZip64EndOfCentralDirectory, then
recompute eocdrOffset from the widened tail. Keep the existing ZIP64 resolution
