The IETF holds disclosures on RaptorQ (RFC 6330; #2554 current, updating #1958) and on Raptor (RFC 5053; #1957 current, with #1176 the holder's general licence statement). Both current ones give two terms by product: a licence within the holder's standard terms for a device that implements a wireless wide-area standard, and a non-assertion, conditional on full implementation and suspended against a party that asserts, for one that implements none. No disclosure relates to RFC 5445 or RFC 5052. §11 cites them by number and states each licence class as disclosed. Since neither code is royalty-free for every implementer, no-code is the default a tool that writes schedules uses, as SPEC §5 keeps a capability that is not royalty-free from being a default. The reference implementation encodes and decodes no symbol; its RFC 6330 decoder is a development dependency. Security and privacy considerations move to §12; nothing cites them by number.

On a bearer with no return path a receiver cannot ask for what it missed: it holds an object only if the passes it heard carried enough encoding symbols. bearer-receipts declares the transmission and reconciles it afterwards; nothing stated the plan in between. extensions/carousel.md registers `wai.bearer.carousel` and the jwp-receipts claim class `schedule` (§2.4.16): a publisher's signed plan, beside the group receipt and the instance's transmission claim, naming for each object its forward error correction (RaptorQ, RFC 6330 with its verified erratum 5548; Compact No-Code, RFC 5445) and that code's object transmission information, the repair symbols each pass adds, whether later passes repeat their ESIs or send new ones, and the passes' times and count. Step 4 holds each code's parameters to its bounds and division into source blocks; step 6 holds the entries to the group, its objects' content hashes and, where the bytes are held, their lengths. From it a verifier derives, for a loss bound in parts per million, the pass after which a receiver whose losses stay within it holds each object, for every pattern of loss within the bound: a RaptorQ block at K' + h distinct symbols, the count RFC 6330 §5.8 states its decoding failure bound at, and a symbol a repeating pass missed counted as missed again. It checks a statement that an object or a group is held by an instant, sets aside schedules that contradict each other or whose instance is undeclared or two-way, and a receiver derives the passes it must listen to and how long its radio must be on. The reference is the `carousel` module of wai-rs with the class's body in `claim_receipt::schedule`; the corpus is live-conformance/carousel/ (33 verdicts, 50 claims, 16 plans) with carousel_verify.py as its second implementation and claim_verify.py's new `carousel` mode for steps 1-4. tests/carousel.rs checks K' and Partition[] against an independent RFC 6330 implementation (a dev-dependency) for every block size, and decodes each RaptorQ object a case holds available from what a receiver within the bound holds. A receipt index served over HTTP now checks a schedule claim against its group and listed objects. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>

`wai inspect` reads envelopes; most files a toolchain meets are not envelopes, and the first question about one is what it is. `wai identify <file>` (operation media.inspect, extensions/media-identify.md) answers it for any file: - the formats the bytes fit, each with the offsets of the bytes that say so, how far its structure was followed and where and why that stopped; - a container's tracks as it states them: codec, size, channels, rate, protection; - the registered capabilities they map to, and what a format probe reads of them; - signatures found inside the file; - where no format is recognised, measures that still hold: how the byte values are spread, uniform windows, and the lags at which the bytes repeat. The verdict is identified, ambiguous, signature_only or unknown, and there is no confidence figure: a candidate's strength says what was checked. Nothing is decoded, no protected track is opened, and unknown stays unknown. Walks cover ISO media, Matroska, transport streams, Ogg, FLAC, RIFF, MPEG audio, ADTS, PNG, JPEG, GIF, IVF, YUV4MPEG2, FLV, AV1 OBU and Annex B streams, and HLS and DASH text; 35 more formats are known by their signature. Every walk is bounded, reads a file where its lengths lead (a large file is never held whole), and has been given hostile bytes; it builds for wasm32. The agent door has it as media_inspect, its results marked untrusted_content: a file's author chooses the strings in it. identify-conformance/ holds files written by real muxers and encoders from test patterns and tones, what an independent media prober reads of them (prober.json), and generated cases sitting on each rule's edge. identify_verify.py is a second implementation written from the text; it reads the extension's tables, gives every file its whole result, and holds ext/ to the prober's reading. tests/identify.rs holds the reference's tables to the extension's.
