+Codablock-F — format provenance and usability
+================================================
+
+This file records the public engineering basis for the Codablock-F support in
+Sythos Barcode Universal. It is not legal advice and does not grant a patent,
+trademark or standards licence.
+
+Format background
+-----------------
+
+Codablock-F is a stacked 2D barcode built from Code 128 symbols. Public format
+descriptions identify a row count of 2–44, a row-level Code 128 check and two
+overall modulo-86 checks. The implementation uses those structural properties
+with original Sythos TypeScript and generated JavaScript.
+
+Patent and trademark status
+---------------------------
+
+[REGISTRY CHECK REQUIRED] The project has not established a definitive current
+patent-family, term or trademark position for every Codablock-F jurisdiction.
+The format name is used descriptively. Users with a regulated or commercial
+deployment must obtain their own legal and standards review.
+
+Implementation boundary
+----------------------
+
+The writer and reader are original MIT-licensed Sythos work. They share the
+project's Code 128 alphabet and enforce row framing, row checks, overall checks
+and complete-row reconstruction. The implementation is intentionally
+conservative: clean integer-scale symbols are supported, while arbitrary
+perspective, severe damage and multi-symbol scenes are not promised.
+
+Third-party software such as ZXing or BWIPP, when used by maintainers, is used
+only as an independent black-box validation tool. No third-party source code,
+tables or runtime dependency is copied or shipped in this SDK. Please open a
+GitHub issue with any contrary note, patent concern or format correction so it
+can be reviewed and recorded.

+
+Format background
+-----------------
+
+Code 16K is a compact stacked barcode that uses Code 128 symbol characters in
+multiple rows. Public descriptions, including the USS Code 16K reference,
+describe the row framing, row count, Code 128 data sets and the two modulo-107

+Code 25, Industrial 2 of 5 and IATA 2 of 5 — format provenance and usability
+=============================================================================
+
+This file records the engineering provenance and redistribution boundary for
+the Code 25 family implemented by Sythos Barcode Universal.
+
+It is an engineering inventory, not legal advice. Patent, copyright and
+trademark conclusions still need independent review for the jurisdiction and
+the intended product. Items marked [TO VERIFY] remain open questions.
+
+
+FORMAT AND IMPLEMENTATION BASIS
+-------------------------------
+
+Code 25 (often called Standard 2 of 5) and Industrial 2 of 5 use one numeric
+digit grammar: ten alternating bar/space elements with exactly two wide bars.
+The Industrial 2 of 5 frame is the canonical Code 25 frame in this SDK. IATA 2
+of 5 uses the same digit grammar with its shorter start/stop frame. The API
+keeps all three names explicit and supports an opt-in modulo-10 check digit.
+
+The run-width descriptions are represented as original Sythos data and
+expanded algorithmically for the selected wide-bar ratio. The reader validates
+the full start/data/stop structure, quiet-zone boundary and optional check
+digit before returning a value. No third-party source code, lookup table or
+binary asset is copied into this repository.
+
+The runtime is original Sythos TypeScript with generated JavaScript output and
+is distributed under the MIT License. The format names are descriptive and do
+not imply certification by an industrial, logistics or aviation organisation.

+
+PATENT AND TRADEMARK REVIEW
+---------------------------
+
+Historical Code 25 patent families, jurisdiction-specific licensing statements
+and current registrations for the family names have not been independently
+cleared here. [TO VERIFY] This project makes no unconditional patent-free,
+public-domain or trademark-clearance claim.
+
+
+INDEPENDENT VALIDATION BOUNDARY
+-------------------------------
+
+BWIPP/bwip-js was used only as a local, independent black-box oracle to compare
+Code 25, Industrial 2 of 5 and IATA 2 of 5 renderings. It was used solely for
+verification and counter-checking of which published format behaviour could be
+used in comparable conditions. Its source, tables and runtime are not copied
+into or shipped by this SDK, and it is not a runtime dependency. The comparison
+is an engineering check, not a legal opinion or a conformance certificate.

+
+
+FORMAT AND IMPLEMENTATION BASIS

+
+Code 32 is a decimal pharmaceutical identifier rendered through a six-symbol
+base-32 payload and a Code 39-compatible carrier. The implementation keeps the
+numeric eight-digit body, computes the published modulo-10 check digit, and

+The reader validates the carrier, base-32 conversion and check digit before it
+returns data. No Code 32 source code, lookup table or binary asset from another

+DotCode format provenance and implementation licence
+======================================================
+
+This file records the public engineering basis for DotCode support in Sythos
+Barcode Universal. It is not legal advice and it does not grant a patent,
+trademark or standards licence.
+
+Implementation licence
+----------------------
+
+The DotCode writer, reader, detector, tables and tests in this repository are
+original Sythos work and are distributed under the MIT License in the
+repository root. The TypeScript sources are authoritative; generated
+JavaScript and declaration files are part of the same implementation.
+
+The implementation is dependency-free at runtime. It does not include or
+link to ZXing, Zint, BWIPP or another third-party barcode implementation.
+
+Public material and validation boundary
+----------------------------------------
+
+The implementation uses public descriptions of the DotCode layout, its
+five-of-nine dot assignment, code sets, masking and error-correction
+procedure. Public AIM and GS1 resources, the DotCode overview on Wikipedia
+and Zint's public DotCode backend were consulted for format understanding and
+interoperability cross-checking. Zint, ZXing and any other third-party
+software are used only as independent black-box validation or documentation
+references. No third-party source code, generated lookup table or runtime
+dependency has been copied into or shipped with this SDK.
+
+Patent and trademark review
+---------------------------
+
+The repository does not claim that every DotCode patent, patent application,
+standard, certification or trademark question has been resolved in every
+country. The format name is used descriptively. Users remain responsible for
+their own standards, patent, trademark and commercial due diligence before a
+regulated or high-volume deployment.
+
+The MIT licence covers this original implementation only. It does not grant
+rights that may belong to a standards body, patent holder or trademark owner.
+If you have a contrary legal notice, format correction or rights concern,
+please open a GitHub issue with the relevant public reference so it can be
+reviewed and recorded.
+
+Implementation limits
+---------------------
+
+This release intentionally rejects unsupported structured append, ECI,
+macro/AI 17 and FNC2/FNC3 control sequences rather than returning a partial or
+guessed payload. The detector is limited to clean binary rasters, integer
+module scales, bounded dimensions and quarter-turn orientations. These are
+documented product boundaries, not claims about the complete DotCode standard.

+GS1 DataBar Composite — bounded profile provenance and usability
+===============================================================

+ENGINEERING INVENTORY, NOT LEGAL ADVICE. Patent, copyright, trademark and
+standards conclusions require independent review for the jurisdiction and use
+case involved.
+
+
+FORMAT AND SPECIFICATION
+------------------------
+
+GS1 DataBar Composite symbols combine a linked GS1 DataBar linear component
+with a two-dimensional CC-A or CC-B component. The relevant standards include
+ISO/IEC 24723 and GS1 General Specifications. The standard text is copyrighted
+by its publishers and is not reproduced or redistributed here.
+
+This SDK ships a deliberately bounded Sythos profile: one validated DataBar
+host (Omnidirectional, Truncated, Stacked, Stacked Omnidirectional, Limited or
+Expanded) is composed with one strict MicroPDF417-derived component. The
+profile uses an internal marker and one deterministic geometry so a detector
+never pairs two unrelated symbols merely because they are near each other. It
+does not claim complete ISO/IEC 24723 conformance, certification or scanner
+interoperability for every composite layout.
+
+
+PATENT AND TRADEMARK STATUS
+---------------------------
+
+GS1, GS1 DataBar and the composite symbology names may be protected marks or
+subject to usage rules. The current ownership, patent and licensing position
+for every composite component requires jurisdiction-specific review. No patent
+clearance, public-domain conclusion, GS1 certification or endorsement is

+The MIT licence below covers original Sythos code only; it does not grant any
+rights in standards text, marks, patents, certification programmes or external
+specification material. [TO VERIFY]
+
+
+IMPLEMENTATION BASIS
+--------------------
+
+The encoder, decoder, detector, layout checks and tests are original Sythos
+TypeScript with generated JavaScript runtime modules. Existing Sythos GS1
+element-string and DataBar validators provide the linear side. The companion
+component reuses the project's own MicroPDF417 runtime primitives and strict
+error correction, then verifies a private profile marker, linkage flag,
+separator and shared integer module scale before returning data.
+
+No ZXing, BWIPP, Zint or other third-party source code, table or runtime
+dependency is copied into or shipped by this package. Independent software,
