Elements of a virtual dataset that no mapping supplies (unmapped regions,
a missing source file, a missing source dataset) read as 0 instead of the
fill value libhdf5 returns — silent wrong data for any VDS created with a
non-zero fillvalue (read-matrix cases 0471/0472: -1 and 7 read as 0). A
missing source dataset was an error; libhdf5 reads it as fill.
Move VDS assembly into a new vds module following H5Dvirtual.c:
vds::read_virtual_dataset takes the dataset's fill value and a
VdsFileResolver that can refuse a name, and reports how many elements were
unmapped. Sources are read with their own fill value, and a source whose
datatype differs from the virtual dataset's is an error (libhdf5 converts).
File passes the dataset's fill value, resolves source names against the
virtual file's directory, and refuses names that leave it with an error
instead of reading them as fill. read_selection on a VDS goes through the
same fill-aware path.
The raw-read API (read_raw_data_full*) has no fill value, so it now errors
for a VDS with unmapped elements instead of guessing zeros.
Tests: vds_interop::vds_unmapped_regions_read_as_fill_value (external,
same-file, missing file/dataset, sparse source with its own fill, int
fill; earliest and latest format) and
vds_source_outside_directory_is_an_error_not_fill, both against h5py;
integration_test::v4_virtual_dataset_raw_api_refuses_to_guess_the_fill_value.

- clippy --all-targets plus a clawhdf5-format feature matrix (parallel, lz4,
zstd, pcodec, fast-checksum); fix the accumulated lint backlog in test,
bench and feature-gated code (no behaviour changes).
- Install python3 + h5py/numpy/netCDF4/xarray in the CI container and set
CLAWHDF5_REQUIRE_INTEROP=1, which makes a missing interop dependency a test
failure. Every h5py/netCDF4 interop test used to skip silently in CI. Run
the #[ignore]d writer_h5py_tests suite explicitly.
- cargo bench --no-run so benches can't rot; fix bench.rs and memory_bench.rs,
which no longer compiled against the current strategy/consolidation APIs.
- Optional fuzz smoke run via CLAWHDF5_FUZZ_SECONDS.
- CHANGELOG and docs/known-issues.md updated.

- Add .gitea/workflows/ci.yml running scripts/ci-test.sh (fmt, clippy,
test, no_std check) on push/PR to main.
- Fix stale rustyhdf5-py/rustyhdf5-format package names in
ci-test.sh/check-nostd.sh, which had been silently no-op'ing those
checks (cargo warns but doesn't fail on an unknown --exclude/-p
target).
- With those checks actually running, fix the real issues they surface:
- clippy: useless_conversion in chunked_write.rs, byte_char_slices in
global_heap.rs/object_header.rs.
- cargo fmt: apply formatting across the workspace (whitespace only).
- no_std (thumbv7em-none-eabihf) build errors in clawhdf5-format:
core::sync::atomic::AtomicU64 doesn't exist on that target (no
native 64-bit atomics) — switch profiling.rs's counters to
portable-atomic, which falls back to a CAS-based emulation there
and is a no-op wrapper elsewhere. Add missing alloc imports for
Box (filters.rs), Vec (filters_szip.rs), and format! (dict_encoding.rs)
on no_std paths. Replace f64::powi (std/libm-only) with a small
local exponentiation-by-squaring helper in the scale-offset filter.
The readers added this cycle parse untrusted bytes, so malformed/hostile
input must produce errors — never a panic, OOM, or unbounded recursion.
Audited each new surface and fixed the concrete vectors, each covered by an
adversarial regression test:
- Paged Fixed Array: `1 << max_nelmts_bits` shift overflow (u8 up to 255);
element-count bounded by file size; element/page offset multiplies checked.
- H5S selection decoder: ALL/NONE validate they have the 16 bytes they claim
to consume; hyperslab rank capped at 32 (H5S_MAX_RANK); iter_linear
coordinate/stride/product arithmetic uses checked ops.
- VDS mapping parser: drop pre-allocation from the untrusted `nused`;
bounds-check all selection slicing.
- scale-offset / N-Bit filters: `1 << minbits` overflow at minbits==64; N-Bit
`bit_offset + precision` overflow; N-Bit type-tree recursion depth capped to
stop a crafted nested tree from overflowing the stack; element counts bounded
by the chunk's expected decompressed size (threaded the previously-unused
chunk_size into both decoders) so a bogus count can't over-allocate.
- VDS assembly: a virtual dataset whose source is itself virtual (a cycle) now
errors instead of recursing into a stack overflow.
16 new adversarial tests; full format suite (482 lib) + agent + facade green;
clippy clean.

The HDF5 library does not implement the scale-offset filter's floating-point
E-scale mode. When asked for it (cd_values[0] = 1) it stores the chunk raw
(no minbits/minval header) and sets the chunk filter mask to skip the filter,
so such datasets read back verbatim purely by honoring the per-chunk filter
mask — no E-scale decoder is required.
Add a fixture written via the HDF5 low-level API (exact-representable values)
and a test asserting it reads back verbatim, locking in the filter-mask path.

VDS sources living in other files were previously unsupported because the
pure-byte read API has no filesystem. Add a resolver seam and wire a default.
clawhdf5-format:
- Add VdsSourceResolver (Fn(&str) -> Option<Vec<u8>>) and
read_raw_data_full_with_resolver. read_virtual_data uses the resolver to
fetch an external source file's bytes by its stored name, then reads the
named source dataset from those bytes and scatters as usual. A resolver
returning None leaves the region at fill (HDF5's missing-source behavior);
an external source with no resolver at all is a clean error. read_raw_data_full
is unchanged (delegates with no resolver).
clawhdf5:
- File now records the directory it was opened from and, for virtual layouts,
reads through a default resolver that loads sibling source files relative to
that directory. So File::open(virt).dataset(d).read_*() transparently
assembles cross-file VDS. In-memory files (from_bytes) have no directory, so
only same-file VDS resolves there.
Tests: format-layer external read with an injected resolver (and the
no-resolver error path), plus facade tests that drop both files in a temp dir
and read through File::open — covering successful resolution and the
missing-source-is-fill case.

Generalize Selection iteration from 1-D to arbitrary rank: iter_linear(dims)
enumerates a selection's row-major linear indices over a dataspace of the
given shape (ALL, NONE, regular hyperslabs, points), which is the order HDF5
uses to pair virtual and source selections.
read_virtual_data now passes the full virtual/source dimensions instead of a
single extent, so multi-dimensional block mappings scatter to the correct
non-contiguous linear positions. read_named_dataset_raw returns the source
dataset's dimensions. The rank-1 restriction is removed; only external-file
sources remain unsupported.
Tests: 2-D integration fixture (vds_2d_same_file.h5: two 2x2 sources placed
as non-contiguous blocks in a 4x4 virtual) plus N-D iter_linear unit tests
(block, strided, ALL, rank-mismatch). The 1-D path is unchanged.

A virtual layout previously returned UnsupportedVersion. Implement reading
for the common 1-D, same-file case, reverse-engineered and validated against
HDF5 2.0.
- Rewrite parse_vds_mappings to the real global-heap block format
(version(1) · nused(length_size) · entries · checksum(4)), where each
entry is source-file(null) · source-dataset(null) · source-selection ·
virtual-selection. Block version 1 encodes a same-file source as a single
0x04 marker in place of the file name; version 0 stores an explicit file
name. The selections are H5S-serialized and self-describing in length, so
they are decoded to find entry boundaries. The previous parser used a
guessed layout that did not match real files.
- Extend Selection with decode_serialized() (H5S_select_serialize: ALL,
NONE, and version-3 regular hyperslabs) and iter_linear_1d().
- Add read_virtual_data: resolve the mapping block from the global heap,
read each same-file source dataset, and scatter its selected elements into
the virtual buffer; unmapped regions stay at the zero fill value.
External-file sources and N-D selections return a clean unsupported error.
Tests: real-file integration test (vds_same_file.h5: partial source slice +
fill gap), selection decoder unit tests built from the fixture bytes, and
same-file/external mapping-parser unit tests.

A filtered, fixed-dimension dataset with more than one Fixed Array
data-block page (>1024 chunks by default) previously failed with
"paged Fixed Array data blocks not yet supported".
Implement the paged data-block layout, reverse-engineered and validated
against an HDF5 2.0 file:
- after the FADB prefix: a page-init bitmap (one bit per page, MSB-first
within each byte), a 4-byte checksum, then the pages;
- each page is a fixed full-size slot of page_nelmts elements plus a
4-byte checksum, with only the final page shorter;
- uninitialized pages still occupy their slot (zero-filled), so the
bitmap — not a 0xFF sentinel — marks a whole page unallocated.
Element parsing is factored into parse_fa_element, shared by the
non-paged and paged paths.
Tests: real-file integration test against a minimal 2-page gzip fixture
(v4_fixed_array_paged.h5) plus a synthetic unit test covering a
multi-byte/MSB-first bitmap, a skipped uninitialized page, and a short
final page.
