Complete project rebrand for better positioning in the press freedom
and digital security space. FieldWitness communicates both field
deployment and evidence testimony — appropriate for the target audience
of journalists, NGOs, and human rights organizations.
Rename mapping:
- soosef → fieldwitness (package, CLI, all imports)
- soosef.stegasoo → fieldwitness.stego
- soosef.verisoo → fieldwitness.attest
- ~/.soosef/ → ~/.fwmetadata/ (innocuous data dir name)
- SOOSEF_DATA_DIR → FIELDWITNESS_DATA_DIR
- SoosefConfig → FieldWitnessConfig
- SoosefError → FieldWitnessError
Also includes:
- License switch from MIT to GPL-3.0
- C2PA bridge module (Phase 0-2 MVP): cert.py, export.py, vendor_assertions.py
- README repositioned to lead with provenance/federation, stego backgrounded
- Threat model skeleton at docs/security/threat-model.md
- Planning docs: docs/planning/c2pa-integration.md, docs/planning/gtm-feasibility.md

Bottleneck 1: ImageHashes generalization
- phash and dhash now default to "" (optional), enabling attestation
of CSV datasets, sensor logs, documents, and any non-image file
- Added ImageHashes.from_file() for arbitrary file attestation
(SHA-256 only, no perceptual hashes)
- Added ImageHashes.is_image property to check if perceptual matching
is meaningful
- Added content_type field to AttestationRecord ("image", "document",
"data", "audio", "video") — backward compatible, defaults to "image"
- from_dict() now tolerates missing phash/dhash fields
Bottleneck 2: Lazy path resolution
- Converted 5 modules from eager top-level path imports to lazy
access via `import soosef.paths as _paths`:
config.py, deadman.py, usb_monitor.py, tamper.py, anchors.py
- Paths now resolve at use-time, not import-time, so --data-dir
and SOOSEF_DATA_DIR overrides propagate correctly to all modules
- Enables portable mode (run entirely from USB stick)
- Updated deadman enforcement tests for new path access pattern
Bottleneck 3: Delivery acknowledgment chain records
- New CONTENT_TYPE_DELIVERY_ACK = "soosef/delivery-ack-v1"
- ChainStore.append_delivery_ack() records bundle receipt with
sender fingerprint and record count
- import_attestation_bundle() auto-generates ack when chain store
and private key are provided
- Enables two-way federation handshakes (art provenance, legal
chain of custody, multi-org evidence exchange)
