Build image / build-and-push (push) Successful in 6s
Security / correctness (multi-model):
- Wrap the decoders in a recover (decodeSafely): a malformed HEIC/WebP that
  panics libheif-via-WASM or x/image/webp now fails this one request as
  ErrUnsupported instead of taking the process down.
- Make the pixel-bomb guard overflow-safe: check each side against maxDimension
  BEFORE multiplying, so a header claiming ~2^32 on a side can't wrap
  int64(w)*int64(h) negative and slip past the pixel-count cap.
- Lower maxDecodePixels 100 MP → 50 MP (~200 MB peak), still above any current
  phone sensor, capping the amplification a small hostile header can force.
- Sentinel errors use errors.New, not fmt.Errorf without a verb.

The finding 5 models agreed on: the decompression-bomb guard was UNTESTED and a
stale comment implied otherwise. Added TestNormalizeRejectsPixelBomb, which
crafts a ~40-byte PNG (valid IHDR + CRC) claiming a huge canvas and asserts
ErrTooLarge from DecodeConfig alone, before any bitmap is allocated — covering
both the per-side and the area trip. Fixed the stale comment.

Error-handling / docs:
- format is now "" on ALL error paths (was populated on some, empty on others).
- Doc rewritten to state the actual error contract (read/encode I/O → wrapped,
  not a sentinel) and to stop referencing a non-existent TestNormalize / TODO.
- Guard io.LimitReader's +1 against an int64 overflow at an absurd MaxBytes.

Tests / provenance:
- Downscale test derives its numbers from DefaultMaxDim instead of hard-coding.
- Check the previously-ignored DecodeConfig error in the small-image case.
- testdata/README documents where sample.heic/webp came from.

Deferred to the #81 upload handler, documented in the Normalize doc: EXIF
orientation (best fixed and tested with a real oriented photo end-to-end) and
context cancellation (image.Decode isn't cancellable mid-decode; the caller
runs it under a timeout, and the size guards keep the work finite regardless).

steveandClaude Opus 4.8 74f6b9a876 Image normalization package: decode HEIC/webp/png/jpeg → JPEG (#80)
Build image / build-and-push (push) Successful in 12s
Gadfly review (reusable) / review (pull_request) Successful in 13m10s
Adversarial Review (Gadfly) / review (pull_request) Successful in 13m10s
Prerequisite for seed-packet capture (#81). majordomo's media pipeline is
stdlib-based and cannot decode HEIC or webp — and HEIC is the iPhone camera
default, so the capture feature's very first input would fail on the device
that motivates it. Normalizing at the upload boundary means everything
downstream only ever sees JPEG.

internal/imagenorm.Normalize(reader, opts) decodes any of jpeg/png/heic/webp,
downscales to fit MaxDim (2048, ollama-cloud's limit) on the longest edge with
Catmull-Rom (sharp on the text a packet is mostly made of), and re-encodes JPEG.

CGO stays off: github.com/gen2brain/heic runs libheif as WASM via wazero (pure
Go), golang.org/x/image/webp is pure Go. Both register with image.Decode. The
~5 MB these add only links into the binary when #81 imports this package — it's
not pulled into cmd/pansy yet, so main is unchanged in size for now.

Guards against hostile uploads: input capped at MaxBytes (ErrTooLarge) before a
full read, and the decoded pixel count checked from DecodeConfig BEFORE the
bitmap is allocated, so a small file claiming a huge canvas (a decompression
bomb) is refused up front.

TestNormalizeAllFormats round-trips all four formats to a valid JPEG — its real
job is catching a dropped blank import, where the intuition-breaking failure is
that the COMMON format (png) breaks while the exotic one (heic) still works.
heic/webp fixtures live in testdata (Go has no encoder for them); the webp is a
known-good 16x16 from Python's stdlib test corpus, verified to decode.
