//! `zfs-forensic` — anomaly auditor + `CoW` deleted-file recovery for ZFS.
//!
//! ZFS is a copy-on-write pool with a self-checksumming Merkle block tree and a
//! ring of recent pool roots (uberblocks). That structure is the forensic lever
//! this crate pulls:
//!
//! - **F-INTEGRITY** ([`audit_image`] / [`audit_findings`]) emits graded
//!   [`forensicnomicon::report::Finding`]s for structural anomalies: the active
//!   uberblock's `ub_rootbp` checksum failing against the MOS block it points at
//!   (`ZFS-UBERBLOCK-CHECKSUM-MISMATCH`), the four vdev labels' nvlist configs
//!   disagreeing on `pool_guid`/`txg`/`ashift` (`ZFS-LABEL-DIVERGENCE`), a
//!   reachable metadata block whose blkptr checksum does not verify
//!   (`ZFS-BLKPTR-CHECKSUM-MISMATCH`), and geometry beyond the image
//!   (`ZFS-IMPOSSIBLE-GEOMETRY`).
//! - **F-CARVE** ([`recover_deleted`]) recovers deleted files from snapshots: it
//!   enumerates the datasets by walking the DSL snapshot chain, reads each
//!   snapshot's ZPL root directory, and diffs it against the live filesystem's
//!   root — a file present in the snapshot but absent live was deleted, and its
//!   content is carved from the snapshot's (pinned, un-overwritten) blocks
//!   (`ZFS-DELETED-FILE-CARVED`).
//!
//! Built on `zfs-core` for valid-path reading; where the audit must see the raw
//! uberblock ring / DSL bonus the reader does not surface, it uses the low-level
//! accessors (`active_uberblock`, `dsl_dataset_prev_snap`) directly (the
//! reader/analyzer-split principle).
//!
//! Each finding is an **observation** ("consistent with …"); the examiner draws
//! the conclusions. Mirrors the fleet producer pattern (typed `AnomalyKind` +
//! `impl Observation` + `audit_*` → `Vec<Anomaly>` + `audit_findings` →
//! `Vec<Finding>`), as in `xfs-forensic` / `btrfs-forensic`.
