1//! `zfs-forensic` — anomaly auditor + `CoW` deleted-file recovery for ZFS.
2//!
3//! ZFS is a copy-on-write pool with a self-checksumming Merkle block tree and a
4//! ring of recent pool roots (uberblocks). That structure is the forensic lever
5//! this crate pulls:
6//!
7//! - **F-INTEGRITY** ([`audit_image`] / [`audit_findings`]) emits graded
8//!   [`forensicnomicon::report::Finding`]s for structural anomalies: the active
9//!   uberblock's `ub_rootbp` checksum failing against the MOS block it points at
10//!   (`ZFS-UBERBLOCK-CHECKSUM-MISMATCH`), the four vdev labels' nvlist configs
11//!   disagreeing on `pool_guid`/`txg`/`ashift` (`ZFS-LABEL-DIVERGENCE`), a
12//!   reachable metadata block whose blkptr checksum does not verify
13//!   (`ZFS-BLKPTR-CHECKSUM-MISMATCH`), and geometry beyond the image
14//!   (`ZFS-IMPOSSIBLE-GEOMETRY`).
15//! - **F-CARVE** ([`recover_deleted`]) recovers deleted files from snapshots: it
16//!   enumerates the datasets by walking the DSL snapshot chain, reads each
17//!   snapshot's ZPL root directory, and diffs it against the live filesystem's
18//!   root — a file present in the snapshot but absent live was deleted, and its
19//!   content is carved from the snapshot's (pinned, un-overwritten) blocks
20//!   (`ZFS-DELETED-FILE-CARVED`).
21//!
22//! Built on `zfs-core` for valid-path reading; where the audit must see the raw
23//! uberblock ring / DSL bonus the reader does not surface, it uses the low-level
24//! accessors (`active_uberblock`, `dsl_dataset_prev_snap`) directly (the
25//! reader/analyzer-split principle).
26//!
27//! Each finding is an **observation** ("consistent with …"); the examiner draws
28//! the conclusions. Mirrors the fleet producer pattern (typed `AnomalyKind` +
29//! `impl Observation` + `audit_*` → `Vec<Anomaly>` + `audit_findings` →
30//! `Vec<Finding>`), as in `xfs-forensic` / `btrfs-forensic`.
