Alex ChambersandClaude Opus 5.5 179910c020 LR-IMP-CAMERA-COVERAGE: Sony ARW white balance and black level from one SR2SubIFD decryptor
Part of #535 (item 1). Stacked on #542 (SR2 black levels); supersedes its
positional keystream tables.

- White balance is WB_RGGBLevels (0x7313), the gains the camera applied:
  the raw IFD's plain copy when present, else the copy in the encrypted
  SR2SubIFD, which every ARW from the DSLR-A200 on carries (identical to
  the plain one on all 57 CC0 files that have both). The maker note's
  Tag2010 gains stay only as a last resort.
- 14 bodies had no white balance and rendered green whenever the camera
  look was rejected (A450 ... A700, NEX-3/5/C3, SLT-A33/A35/A55,
  ILCE-6001, UMC-R10C). On others Tag2010 missed the applied gains by up
  to 100 % (ILCE-3500 at 5600 K: R -31 / B +101 % against the camera
  JPEG's neutral pixels, now +4 / +0 %; ILCE-7S on Shade -9 / +15 ->
  -1 / +1 %; SLT-A57 -25 / +26 -> -6 / -3 %).
- New vendor/sr2.rs decrypts the whole SR2SubIFD, found black-box:
  exiftool -v5's decrypted dump as known plaintext gives the keystream
  (key 11 22 33 44, the same at every position in 126 CC0 ARWs from 97
  bodies, 15 layouts); an exhaustive search over lag pairs found
  k[n] = k[n-63] ^ k[n-127] on 32-bit words, so the first 127 words
  generate the rest, matching all 126 files (5.2 MB of keystream).
- The SR2 black level (0x7310) is now read through the same decryptor,
  replacing #542's head and per-position keystream tables: one SR2
  decryption path. Identical results on all 131 Sony files (every
  value #542 decoded; the 51 it could not are the files' plain 0x7310).
  Unit tests pin the keystream against answers recorded without the
  generator: every byte #542 and #148 had recovered, the SHA-256 of the
  whole 62112-byte keystream recovered from the CC0 DSLR-A700 sample, and
  the encrypted WB_RGGBLevels of four CC0 files (one per layout) with the
  levels ExifTool decrypts.
- Sweep (4f350c4 -> this): gains equal ExifTool's decrypted
  WB_RGGBLevels on all 100 decoded CC0 CFA files; on 83 files with
  >= 200 JPEG-neutral pixels, within 10 % of the camera's applied gains
  71 -> 83, over 10 % 5 -> 0. Accepted fits unchanged (max 0.15 dE);
  forced fallback median dE 18.50 -> 18.06, neutral-area cast on the 22
  changed files 8.8 -> 1.2.
- Corpus test for five CC0 samples (A500, A33, A700, ILCE-3500 5600 K,
  ILCE-7S Shade; three added to RAW_SAMPLES); the pre-2017 test's gains
  move to WB_RGGBLevels (RX100 III, RX100, ILCE-7RM2: within 2.6 % of
  the old Tag2010 values in Auto). Synthetic tests for decryption,
  directory parsing, source precedence, black level through the full
  DNGPrivateData chain, and hostile input; #542's layout tests (incl.
  the A700 trap) now run through the decryptor.
- Render cache version 25.
