Abstract
This note will state only what the released implementation and fixtures support. No compression ranking is inferred from a single corpus.
A reproducibility-first note for a small coder: specification before prestige, reconstruction before ratio, failure cases kept visible.
This note will state only what the released implementation and fixtures support. No compression ranking is inferred from a single corpus.
Format definition, encoder/decoder contract, exact reconstruction receipt, environment, corpus hashes, command lines and observed measurements.
Start with reproducible enwik fixtures and per-file tests. Multi-file/container behaviour is a separate experiment, not silently folded into the coder.
Inputs where the coder loses, expands, slows down or behaves awkwardly stay in the note. Negative results are part of the artifact.
