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.

+ ### Aztec Rune, Compact PDF417 and EAN supplements
396
+
397
+ `aztecrune` implements the fixed 11×11 Rune values 0–255 with clean raster
398
+ detection, inversion and quarter-turn handling. Its matrices were compared
399
+ exhaustively with ZXing-C++ as an independent black-box runtime; no ZXing
400
+ source or table is shipped.
401
+
402
+ `compactpdf417` implements the truncated PDF417 geometry with Text, Byte and
403
+ Numeric compaction. It has a clean raster detector and direct matrix decoder.

+
405
+ EAN-2 and EAN-5 are writable supplements exposed by the `oned` subpath and by
406
+ the generic `ean2` and `ean5` format IDs. The image reader recognizes them only

+ The `databar` subpath exposes original GS1 GTIN/AI codecs plus physical
413
+ Omnidirectional and Truncated writers, scanline readers and clean-matrix decoders. Four GTIN
414
+ vectors were compared bit-for-bit with Zint 2.16.0 as a black box. Limited,
