Entrpi 546119b63e feat(artifacts): inventory and extract ESP32 firmware images
ESP32-family app and bootloader images (magic 0xE9) had no reader, so
open_binary refused OTA downloads, app partitions and bootloaders.

Add the esp-image container format behind inspect_artifact and
extract_artifact. A pure decoder reads each byte once and keeps only
fixed-size fields. Derived facts cover the chip, from a table cited to
ESP-IDF v6.1; segment classification as ESP-IDF's should_map and
should_load; checksum and appended SHA-256 results; app and bootloader
descriptors; Secure Boot v2 signature blocks, observed and unverified;
and undescribed trailing byte ranges. Truncation and undescribed bytes
make coverage unknown. ESP8266 images are refused with a specific
reason, and ciphertext stays unrecognized.

Add the format to every target, Evidence, snapshot, live-summary and
artifact vocabulary, document it, and add an optional verify:esp-images
lane that compares esptool-built images with esptool image-info and
espsecure signature-info-v2.

Source-built conformance fixtures

These sources are deliberately small semantic oracles for REA providers. Run npm run verify:fixtures on macOS or Linux to compile them into the ignored build/conformance/ directory, emit a hash-and-toolchain manifest, and verify their platform-native symbols and strings with local command-line tools. The portable C, version, and large-inventory fixtures build as Mach-O on macOS and ELF on Linux; Objective-C, Swift, and N-API-like fixtures remain macOS-only.

Only source files are versioned. Generated binaries, generated large-fixture source, debug information, and manifests must remain under build/.

ghidra/inventory.c is also compiled into temporary Linux ELF debug and stripped variants by npm run verify:ghidra. It fixes local functions, external puts linkage, defined strings, and writable/executable memory needed to prove the read-only Ghidra inventory contracts without committing a binary.

scripts/create-ghidra-windows-fixture.mjs separately emits a deterministic, ignored native x86-64 PE application for the controlled Windows Ghidra P0 lane. The generator and fixed SHA-256 are versioned; the .exe is never committed or executed. npm run verify:ghidra:windows uses it to verify the admitted read-only operation inventory, digest linkage, transport, and cleanup on the self-hosted real-Ghidra runner.

The C fixture fixes a known call chain and strings. The version pair fixes an added symbol, changed string, and changed call relationship. The generated large fixture contains 1,205 uniquely named functions and strings to verify that providers return complete inventories. Objective-C, Swift, and N-API-like fixtures provide metadata-oriented inputs without package or network dependencies.

readiness/ adds source-only generated JavaScript CLI and Electron fixtures for the repository's reconstruction-readiness verifier. npm run verify:readiness inspects the compiled native fixture through CLI and checks JavaScript/Electron static-analysis Evidence identity through CLI and MCP. It does not execute the fixture applications. The development-owned evaluator under readiness/report/ separately checks synthetic report conformance; its nine stages do not describe observed runtime journeys. The report keeps these scopes separate as documented in docs/reconstruction-readiness.md.
