Alpha 0.0.94 — offline-only engineering prerelease

This separately labelled download contains rewindDV Offline / app build 188
and the arm64 rewinddv CLI. No DriverKit extension is included. Driver
discovery, activation, deck control and physical acquisition are disabled. The
complete source independently retains Driver 192 for hardware-capable builds;
that source identity is not a packaged hardware feature in this download.

The app and CLI are signed ad hoc with hardened runtime, not with an Apple
Developer ID, and are not notarized. Apple silicon arm64; app deployment floor
macOS 26; source toolchain Xcode 27. Offline operations require no SIP change.
The offline app's bundle identity is net.rewinddigital.RewindDV.Offline, with a
separate sandbox container and CLI socket from the hardware-capable app.

• Integrated IEC metadata inventory covers 256 pack allocations and 274 layout
  variants. Raw bytes, conflicting observations and unknown regions are preserved.
  This is software classification coverage, not complete semantic support or IEC
  certification. VAUX 0x61 interpretation remains unresolved.
• Epoch-aware mixed NTSC/PAL archives retain source-bound recording-system
  boundaries, evidence maps and ordered byte-exact lossless segmented exports.
  Mixed-system single-file merging and film/container output reject explicitly
  with a segmented-export alternative. Original captures are never replaced.
• Playback, metadata inspection, Surgery, maps/review, offline multi-pass analysis
  and recovery-plan preparation remain available. The CLI/MCP exposes 57 offline
  tools and rejects hardware commands locally before connecting to the app.
• Complete source includes the accepted Driver 192 receive-ownership improvements.
  Fresh source checks pass 527 Swift Testing cases and 14 XCTest cases, focused
  release/status/disclosure checks, native app/driver/CLI compilation, and earlier
  measured native mixed-format playback and metadata/archive component checks.
  Exact restored-ZIP startup, signatures, permissions, hashes and CLI filtering
  are separately verified. These are software checks.

Limits: the complete signed-application workflow and displayed-pixel/metadata
association remain unqualified. HDV playback/capture, physical PAL capture,
Driver 192 acquisition, natural end-of-tape, full-tape endurance, broad hardware
compatibility and live driver unload/hot replacement remain unqualified. Earlier
bounded B190 development-signed NTSC capture evidence applies only to its tested
setup and does not qualify this download. Byte consistency does not establish
flawless audiovisual content or uninterrupted hardware transport.

An earlier full ad-hoc Alpha 0.0.94 candidate failed startup on a SIP-enabled
host because of restricted DriverKit entitlements and was not published. Earlier
full downloads remain historical; their SIP-disabled test-system workflow is
separate from this offline distribution. No security changes were made to qualify
this offline package.

Read the tagged offline instructions.
Keep the previous app for rollback and open this extracted copy without replacing
installed hardware software or interrupting a capture. macOS may require its
normal Privacy & Security review for a downloaded unnotarized app. External
source/destination paths require a GUI sandbox grant for the current session.
Quit and remove the extracted offline copy to roll back; no driver removal is
needed for this package. Preserve original media and independent backups.

Download the ZIP, its checksum sidecar, manifest.json and provenance.json from
this release. Run shasum -a 256 -c rewindDV-Alpha-0.0.94-AppBuild188-Offline-AdHoc.zip.sha256 from the download folder
and expect OK. Verify the extracted app and CLI signatures as instructed.
