/** \file aaruformat/structs/header.h
* \brief On-disk container header structures (v1 and v2) for Aaru images.
*
* These packed headers appear at the very beginning (offset 0) of every Aaru image file and
* advertise container format version, creator application, indexing offset and optional extended
* feature capability bitfields (v2+). All multi-byte integers are little-endian. Strings stored
* in the fixed-size application field are UTF16LE and zero padded (not necessarily NUL-terminated
* if fully filled). The GUID field (v2) allows derivative / child images to reference an origin.
*
* Version progression:
* - v1: \ref AaruHeader (no GUID, no alignment or shift metadata, no feature bitfields).
* - v2: \ref AaruHeaderV2 introduces GUID, block/data/table shift hints (mirroring DDT metadata),
* and three 64bit feature bitmaps to negotiate reader/writer compatibility.
*
* Compatibility handling (recommended logic for consumers):
* 1. If any bit set in featureIncompatible is not implemented by the reader: abort (cannot safely read/write).
* 2. Else if any bit set in featureCompatibleRo is not implemented: allow readonly operations.
* 3. Bits only present in featureCompatible but not implemented MAY be ignored for both read/write while
* still preserving roundtrip capability (writer should not clear unknown bits when resaving).
*
* Alignment & shift semantics (duplicated here for quick reference, see DdtHeader2 for full details):
* - blockAlignmentShift: underlying blocks are aligned to 2^blockAlignmentShift bytes.
* - dataShift: data pointer / DDT entry low bits encode offsets modulo 2^dataShift sectors/items.
* - tableShift: primary DDT entries span 2^tableShift logical sectors (0 implies single-level tables).
*
* Invariants:
* - identifier == AARU_MAGIC (external constant; not defined here).
* - For v1: sizeof(AaruHeader) exact and indexOffset > 0 (indexOffset == 0 => corrupt/unreadable image).
* - For v2: sizeof(AaruHeaderV2) exact; indexOffset > 0; blockAlignmentShift, dataShift, tableShift within
* sane bounds (e.g. < 63). Zero is permissible only for the shift fields (not for indexOffset).
*
* Security / robustness considerations:
* - Always bounds-check indexOffset against file size before seeking.
* - Treat application field as untrusted UTF16LE; validate surrogate pairs if necessary.
* - Unknown feature bits MUST be preserved if a file is rewritten to avoid capability loss.

/** \struct AaruHeader
* \brief Version 1 container header placed at offset 0 for legacy / initial format.
*
* Field summary:
* - identifier: magic signature (AARU_MAGIC) identifying the container.
* - application: UTF16LE creator application name (fixed 64 bytes, zero padded).
* - imageMajorVersion / imageMinorVersion: container format version of the file itself (not the app).
* - applicationMajorVersion / applicationMinorVersion: version of the creating application.
* - mediaType: media type enumeration (\ref MediaType).
* - indexOffset: byte offset to the first index block (must be > 0).
* - creationTime / lastWrittenTime: 64-bit Windows FILETIME timestamps (100 ns intervals since 1601-01-01 UTC).

/** \struct AaruHeaderV2
* \brief Version 2 container header with GUID, alignment shifts, and feature negotiation bitmaps.
*
* Additions over v1:
* - guid: stable 128-bit identifier enabling linkage by derivative images.
* - blockAlignmentShift / dataShift / tableShift: global structural hints copied into data & DDT blocks.
* - featureCompatible / featureCompatibleRo / featureIncompatible: capability bitmasks.
*
* Feature bitmask semantics:
* - featureCompatible: Optional features; absence of implementation should not impact R/W correctness.
* - featureCompatibleRo: If unimplemented, image MAY be opened read-only.
* - featureIncompatible: If any bit unimplemented, image MUST NOT be opened (prevent misinterpretation).
*
* Readers should AND their supported bit set with the header masks to decide access level (see file
* documentation). Writers must preserve unknown bits when saving an existing image.
