feat: check HDF5 2.x small floats against libhdf5 2.2.0
Fixture written by libhdf5 2.2.0 (built from tag 2.2.0) through ctypes:
every bit pattern of FP4 E2M1, FP6 E2M3/E3M2, FP8 E4M3/E5M2 and a
bfloat16 LE/BE set, as datasets and attributes, with what H5Dread/H5Aread
return into double and float and the conversion exceptions libhdf5
raises. clawhdf5 already decoded every value as libhdf5 does, including
an all-ones exponent as inf/NaN in the OCP formats that have none
(documented as a deliberate match in known-issues).

- data_read: NaNs of non-native float layouts get libhdf5's bits (sign
  kept, every mantissa bit set) in f64 and f32.
- h5rs dump/ls name these types as h5dump/h5ls 2.x do
  (H5T_FLOAT_F4E2M1, "FP4 E2M1 4-bit float", float4-e2m1 ...), checked
  against h5dump 2.2.0's output of the fixture.
- Python bindings read them as h5py 3.16 does (float32 for bfloat16,
  float16 for the 1-byte formats, file byte order, same bytes as h5py);
  writing them in 'r+' is refused.

clawhdf5 documentation

Every document in the repository, one line each. Start with the README and the quick start.

Using clawhdf5

Document What it covers
README What clawhdf5 is, the evidence, the feature matrix, install, quick starts, crate map
QUICKSTART.md Working examples: HDF5 in Rust and Python, remote files, SWMR, NetCDF-4, h5rs, agent memory, CLI
USE_CASES.md Where clawhdf5 fits, and when to use something else
agent-memory.md The agent-memory store: search, durability, signing, modules, performance, schema, CLI, SQLite migration
known-issues.md Open limits and fixed bugs, dated — read before relying on an edge case
openclaw.md Why clawhdf5 is not an OpenClaw memory plugin, and what one would need
CHANGELOG.md Every change by release, with upgrade notes; "Unreleased" is everything since v2.7.0

Evidence

Document What it covers
CONFORMANCE.md Generated report: 697 public HDF5 files read by clawhdf5 and h5py and compared; the CVE corpus against h5dump and h5py
conformance/README.md How the conformance sweep works and how to run it
BENCHMARKS.md Every measurement with date, machine and command: HDF5 reads and writes, concurrency, deflate backends, search, LongMemEval, footprint
benchmarks/longmemeval/README.md Downloading the LongMemEval data
benchmarks/2026-03-01-oracle-xeon.md An early (March 2026) benchmark run on a Xeon server; superseded by BENCHMARKS.md

Design

Document What it covers
design/range-reads.md Reading through a Storage trait: milestones M0–M5 (indexed lookups, storage, raw data, remote files, the browser, SWMR)
design/swmr.md Reading files a libhdf5 SWMR writer is appending to (M5)
design/tools/ Scripts behind the range-read design's measurements (inventory.py, libhdf5_reads.py, range-trace)
