Momoko-Ayase f80749ffd6 Merge bfloat16-senbei workspace restructure, bump to 1.1.0
Adopts the fork's workspace split (senbei-cli / senbei-crypto / senbei-io /
senbei-metadata / senbei-pe), its structured error taxonomy, entry-transform
and layout validation, PE32 dd8 key-formula selection with a skip floor, the
CRT entry-stub dd8 oracle, and the extensionless-file scan skip.

Kept from senbei on top of the restructure:
- ManagedExe detection/routing and the CLR (COR20 + BSJB) metadata restore
  in the EXE pipeline.
- The RET+int3 padding fingerprint as the primary dd8 padding signal, ahead
  of the mutated-position 0xCC fallback.
- docs/, .github/, samples/, tests/ (moved to senbei-cli/tests), and the
  web/ wasm frontend (rewired to the split crates), all of which the fork
  had dropped.
- The fork's README compatibility matrix is not taken: it names real games,
  which the public-repo hygiene rules forbid.
- The wasm32 localtime fallback in logfile and unpack_bytes_force_exe (the
  web app's trap-recovery entry point), both lost in the restructure.

Golden corpus: 35/35 byte-identical. clippy -D warnings clean; wasm32 check
clean for the full workspace.

# Development
## Building
Requires a Rust toolchain (MSVC backend is the default on Windows;
`rustup-init.exe` from <https://rustup.rs> installs it). The pinned toolchain
and targets are in `rust-toolchain.toml`.
```cmd
cargo build --release
```
Output: `target\release\senbei.exe`. The binary is self-contained — no driver,
no proxy DLL, no external assets.
The library and CLI also build for Linux/macOS (`cfg`-gated platform code
only) and for `wasm32-unknown-unknown` (see the [web version](../web/README.md)).
## Testing
```cmd
cargo test --release
```
The suite covers CLI behavior, detection, the folder driver, the run log, and
byte-exact golden tests over `samples/` — a user-managed corpus (git-ignored,
see `samples/README.md`) of real Crackproof inputs plus `<base>.golden.<ext>`
reference outputs. Every input goes through `job::unpack_bytes` — the same
routing the CLI uses, so an `<input>._` companion in the corpus is spliced and
the stub export/TLS overlays run — and is gated on **two** checks: the static
integrity check (catches runtime-broken outputs even when a stale golden would
still byte-match) and, when a golden exists, a bit-for-bit comparison. il2cpp
`*.dat` inputs are routed through `metadata::deobfuscate` instead. An empty or
absent corpus is a no-op pass; set `SENBEI_REQUIRE_SAMPLES` to make it fail
instead (useful on a private CI that has the corpus — public CI never does,
since binaries are not committed).
> **Note:** goldens encode expected *bytes*, not runtime behavior. A golden
> produced before a pipeline fix may byte-match while still being wrong — the
> integrity check is the second gate for exactly this reason. Re-verify
> goldens against real runs when touching the affected pipeline stages.

> **The corpus only protects what it contains.** Wire the test to the routing
> the CLI actually takes (it is), and keep a sample for every layout family —
> marker-based, marker-less, external-companion, PE32, PE32+, native, managed,
> metadata. An unrepresented family has no regression gate at all, which is
> how a "re-run the golden corpus" rule can pass while silently covering
> nothing.
## Debugging levers (environment variables)
- `DD8_SHIFT` — override the `decrypt_data8` page-XOR shift (`99` skips dd8
entirely).
- `SEL_DIAG` — print the dd8 selector's scores: the per-shift `0xCC` counts and
the plaintext baseline they are compared against (PE32+), and the per-formula
counts, baseline and net gain (PE32).
- `SENBEI_THREADS` — cap the block-parallel fan-out (`1` forces the fully
sequential path).
- `SENBEI_SCAN_ALL` — same as `--scan-all` (probe every file in a folder).
## Conventions
- The `senbei-pe/` core (and its `senbei-crypto/` base) is pure: no file I/O,
no panics across the public boundary, no `unsafe`. Keep it that way — it is
what the WebAssembly build embeds.
- Layout heuristics must **trial-and-validate**: never pick a candidate offset
on shape alone and trust it; validate by decryption/checksum and fall
through to the next candidate on failure. A silent wrong offset produces a
silently broken output, which is worse than an error.
- Output must remain byte-identical against the golden corpus for every
supported layout. When fixing one build family, re-run the full golden
corpus to prove no other family regressed.
- Folder scanning uses a size floor plus an extension **deny**-list, never an
allow-list: targets are recognised by content, not extension, and can carry
arbitrary names, so only known bulk-asset extensions are excluded. The
pre-filter exists because folder-scan cost is per-file I/O latency, not the
walk — probe fewer files, don't parallelize the probe loop.
- `cargo fmt` and `cargo clippy` must stay clean (CI enforces both).

## Web build
See [web/README.md](../web/README.md). In short:
```cmd
cd web
wasm-pack build --target web --release
```
then serve `web/` statically and open `index.html`. Everything runs
client-side; no file leaves the browser.
## Contributing
Issues and pull requests are welcome. A few ground rules:
- **Never commit binaries** (protected or decrypted) to the repository —
the only corpus is the local git-ignored `samples/`. Attaching a protected
input file to an issue is welcome if it helps diagnose the problem; only
attach files you are authorized to share.
- Run `cargo test --release`, `cargo clippy`, and `cargo fmt` before
submitting.
- Keep the unpacker core free of I/O, `unsafe`, and platform-specific code.
