 | PDF417 black-box verification | ZXing Java 3.5.3 and bwip-js 4.5.1 were invoked as external black boxes on 2026-08-11 for bidirectional Text/Numeric/UTF-8 vectors. Their source and tables are not shipped. |
 | PDF417 device evidence | User-provided 6/6 continuous-camera attestations on Pixel 10/Android 17/Chrome and iPhone 17/Safari, including printed Brother MFC-L2710DW symbols, low light/flash, blur and motion; recorded as user evidence, not independently captured by this repository. |
 | MicroPDF417 technical and provenance review | [ISO/IEC 24728:2006](https://www.iso.org/standard/38838.html), [Wikipedia overview](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MicroPDF417), [US 6,047,892 record](https://patents.google.com/patent/US6047892A/en) and its [direct PDF](https://patentimages.storage.googleapis.com/0a/79/f5/e8d374043414f3/US6047892.pdf) were consulted on 2026-08-11. ZXing-C++, Zint and bwip-js were consulted for implementation/review or black-box validation. No third-party source code is copied or shipped; normative/public values are represented in original Sythos data structures, with provenance and legal review pending. |
+| Micro QR technical and interoperability review | ISO/IEC 18004 public technical material, DENSO WAVE's [Micro QR overview](https://www.qrcode.com/en/codes/microqr.html), Segno and ZXing-C++ were consulted on 2026-08-12 for format rules, fixture checks and black-box comparison. No third-party source code is copied or shipped; Micro QR values are represented in original Sythos structures. ECI, FNC1 and Structured Append are outside the current Micro QR API scope. Standard copyright, patent and trademark questions remain subject to legal review. |
+| rMQR technical and interoperability review | ISO/IEC 23941:2022 public metadata, DENSO WAVE's [rMQR overview](https://www.denso-wave.com/en/adcd/fundamental/2dcode/qrc/rmqr.html), and ZXing-C++ were consulted on 2026-08-12 for the 32 geometry/ECC layouts and black-box checks. No third-party source code is copied or shipped; rMQR values are represented in original Sythos structures. Standard copyright, patent and trademark questions remain subject to legal review. |
+| FrameQR Code | DENSO WAVE's [FrameQR overview](https://www.qrcode.com/en/codes/frameqr.html), [product page](https://www.denso-wave.com/en/system/qr/product/frame.html) and [public announcement](https://www.denso-wave.com/en/adcd/info/detail__272.html) were consulted on 2026-08-13. The public material is used only to document the proprietary-format boundary; the distributed implementation is the separate non-certified `sythos-canvas-qr/1` profile. ZXing Java 3.5.3 was used only as an independent black-box runtime check: QR Model 2 control passed, `FRAME_QR` native capability was unavailable, and the profile was decoded as ordinary QR. No ZXing source code or tables are copied or shipped; native DENSO interoperability is not claimed. |
+| Aztec Rune and Compact PDF417 | ISO/IEC public technical descriptions and ZXing-C++ 3.1.1 were consulted on 2026-08-13. ZXing-C++ was used exclusively as an independent black-box validation tool; no source code or table is copied or shipped. Aztec Rune values were compared exhaustively; Compact PDF417 geometry and payload vectors were compared independently. |
+| EAN-2 and EAN-5 supplements | ISO/IEC 15420, GS1 public specifications and ZXing-C++ 3.1.1 were consulted on 2026-08-13. The add-on parity, guard and checksum routines are original Sythos code; ZXing-C++ was used only for independent add-on validation. |
+| GS1 DataBar Omnidirectional and Truncated | ISO/IEC 24724 and public GS1 material were consulted on 2026-08-13. The physical encoder/decoder uses original Sythos arithmetic and was compared bit-for-bit with Zint 2.16.0 and read bidirectionally with ZXing-C++ 3.1.1 as black boxes. No Zint or ZXing source code or table is copied or shipped. Limited, stacked and expanded physical variants remain outside this release. |
