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

CRITICAL:
- #1+#2: Consistency proof verification no longer a stub — implements
actual hash chain reconstruction from proof hashes, rejects proofs
that don't reconstruct to the expected root. GossipNode._verify_consistency
now calls verify_consistency_proof() instead of just checking sizes.
- #3: Remove passphrase.lower() from KDF — was silently discarding
case entropy from mixed-case passphrases. Passphrases are now
case-sensitive as users would expect.
- #4: Federation gossip now applies record_filter (trust store check)
on every received record before appending to the log. Untrusted
attestor fingerprints are rejected with a warning.
- #5: Killswitch disables all logging BEFORE activation to prevent
audit log from recording killswitch activity that could survive an
interrupted purge. Audit log destruction moved to position 4 (right
after keys + flask secret, before other data).
HIGH:
- #6: CSRF exemption narrowed from entire dropbox blueprint to only
the upload view function. Admin routes retain CSRF protection.
- #7: /health endpoint returns only {"status":"ok"} to anonymous
callers. Full operational report requires authentication.
- #8: Metadata stripping now reconstructs image from pixel data only
(Image.new + putdata), stripping XMP, IPTC, and ICC profiles — not
just EXIF.
- #9: Same as #6 (CSRF scope fix).
MEDIUM:
- #11: Receipt HMAC key changed from public upload token to server-side
secret key, making valid receipts unforgeable by the source or anyone
who captured the upload URL.
- #12: Docker CMD no longer defaults to --no-https. HTTPS with
self-signed cert is the default; --no-https requires explicit opt-in.
- #14: shred return code now checked — non-zero exit falls through to
the zero-overwrite fallback instead of silently succeeding.

1. Source drop box: token-gated anonymous upload with auto-attestation,
EXIF stripping, receipt codes, and self-destructing URLs. New
/dropbox blueprint with admin panel for token management. CSRF
exempted for source-facing upload routes.
2. Investigation namespaces: attestation records tagged with
investigation label via metadata. Log view filters by investigation
with dropdown. Supports long-running multi-story workflows.
3. Scale fixes: replaced O(n) full-scan perceptual hash search with
LMDB find_similar_images() index lookup. Added incremental chain
verification (verify_incremental) with last_verified_index
checkpoint in ChainState.
4. Deep forensic purge: killswitch now scrubs __pycache__, pip
dist-info, pip cache, and shell history entries containing 'soosef'.
Runs before package uninstall for maximum trace removal.
5. Cross-org federation: new federation/exchange.py with
export_attestation_bundle() and import_attestation_bundle().
Bundles are self-authenticating JSON with investigation filter.
Import validates against trust store fingerprints.
6. Wrong-key diagnostics: enhanced decrypt error messages include
current channel key fingerprint hint. New carrier_tracker.py
tracks carrier SHA-256 hashes and warns on reuse (statistical
analysis risk).
7. Selective disclosure: ChainStore.selective_disclosure() produces
proof bundles with full selected records + hash-only redacted
records + complete hash chain for linkage verification. New
`soosef chain disclose -i 0,5,10 -o proof.json` CLI command
for court-ordered evidence production.

Unauthenticated endpoint that reports what's installed, what's
missing, and what's degraded — without exposing secrets or key
material. Reports:
- Module status (stegasoo, verisoo) with versions
- Optional capabilities: DCT, audio, video stego, LMDB, imagehash,
USB monitoring, GPIO — each with actionable install hints
- Key existence (identity, channel, trusted count, backup status)
- Fieldkit status (killswitch, deadman, chain enabled)
- System info (Python version, platform, available memory)
Overall status is "ok" when core modules + keys are present,
"degraded" otherwise. Memory reporting helps diagnose Argon2
OOM issues on constrained hardware (RPi).

- Fix 3 missing CSRF tokens on admin user delete/reset and account
key delete forms (were broken — CSRFProtect rejected submissions)
- Fix trust store path traversal: untrust_key() now validates
fingerprint format ([0-9a-f]{32}) and checks resolved path
- Fix chain key rotation: old key is now revoked after rotation
record, preventing compromised old keys from appending records
- Fix SSRF in deadman webhook: block private/internal IP targets
- Fix logout CSRF: /logout is now POST-only with CSRF token,
preventing cross-site forced logout via img tags

Critical:
- FR-01: Chain verification now supports key rotation via signed rotation
records (soosef/key-rotation-v1 content type). Old single-signer
invariant replaced with authorized-signers set.
- FR-02: Carrier images stripped of EXIF metadata by default before
steganographic encoding (strip_metadata=True). Prevents source
location/device leakage.
High priority:
- FR-03: Session timeout (default 15min) + secure cookie flags
(HttpOnly, SameSite=Strict, Secure when HTTPS)
- FR-04: CSRF protection via Flask-WTF on all POST forms. Killswitch
now requires password re-authentication.
- FR-05: Collaborator trust store — trust_key(), get_trusted_keys(),
resolve_attestor_name(), untrust_key() in KeystoreManager.
- FR-06: Production WSGI server (Waitress) by default, Flask dev
server only with --debug flag.
- FR-07: Dead man's switch sends warning during grace period via
local file + optional webhook before auto-purge.
Medium:
- FR-08: Geofence get_current_location() via gpsd for --here support.
- FR-09: Batch attestation endpoint (/attest/batch) with SHA-256
dedup and per-file status reporting.
- FR-10: Key backup tracking with last_backup_info() and
is_backup_overdue() + backup_reminder_days config.
- FR-11: Verification receipts signed with instance Ed25519 key
(schema_version bumped to 2).
- FR-12: Login rate limiting with configurable lockout (5 attempts,
15 min default).
Nice-to-have:
- FR-13: Unified `soosef status` pre-flight command showing identity,
channel key, deadman, geofence, chain, and backup status.
- FR-14: `soosef chain export` produces ZIP with JSON manifest,
public key, and raw chain.bin for legal discovery.
Tests: 157 passed, 1 skipped, 1 pre-existing flaky test.

Merge stegasoo (v4.3.0, steganography) and verisoo (v0.1.0, attestation)
as subpackages under soosef.stegasoo and soosef.verisoo. This eliminates
cross-repo coordination and enables atomic changes across the full stack.
- Copy stegasoo (34 modules) and verisoo (15 modules) into src/soosef/
- Convert all verisoo absolute imports to relative imports
- Rewire ~50 import sites across soosef code (cli, web, keystore, tests)
- Replace stegasoo/verisoo pip deps with inlined code + pip extras
(stego-dct, stego-audio, attest, web, api, cli, fieldkit, all, dev)
- Add _availability.py for runtime feature detection
- Add unified FastAPI mount point at soosef.api
- Copy and adapt tests from both repos (155 pass, 1 skip)
- Drop standalone CLI/web frontends; keep FastAPI as optional modules
- Both source repos tagged pre-monorepo-consolidation on GitHub

Reformat 8 files and add --target-version py312 to avoid
3.13 AST parsing issues with Python 3.12 container.

New file stego_routes.py:
- register_stego_routes() mounts all encode/decode routes on the Flask app
- Async encode with ThreadPoolExecutor + progress polling
- Subprocess isolation for crash-safe stegasoo operations
- Image + audio encode/decode with full validation
- Encode result display with download
- Tools API routes (capacity, EXIF, rotate, compress, convert)
- About page with crypto documentation
Real templates (replacing stubs):
- encode.html (889 lines): full form with carrier upload, passphrase,
PIN, RSA key, embed mode selection, async progress bar
- decode.html (681 lines): decode form with credential inputs
- encode_result.html (242 lines): result display with download
- about.html (602 lines): security documentation
All routes verified working with auth flow.
