Part 07 of 20 in the DSPX-2604 re-cut. Base branch: main.

This stack replaces #3782 / #3865 / #3921, which stay open and untouched
until it lands. Nothing here is a rebase of those branches — the work was
re-cut from the ticket so each PR stands on its own.

Proposed Changes

Two problems in CreateTDFContext's encrypt loop.

io.Reader.Read is permitted to return fewer bytes than the caller asked
for without erroring, and the loop treated that as fatal:
"io.ReadSeeker.Read size mismatch". A *bytes.Reader or *os.File on a
local disk rarely returns short, which is why this has held up, but any
wrapping ReadSeeker -- a decompressor, a network-backed store, an
instrumented reader -- can trigger it and there is nothing wrong with
the input when it does. io.ReadFull retries until the segment is full,
so the manual size check goes away with it. The new
Test_TDFCreateShortReads fails on main with exactly that error message.

The read buffer was also sized on defaultSegmentSize alone, which is
2 MiB, so encrypting a twelve-byte payload allocated 2 MiB to hold it.
Size it to min(segmentSize, inputSize) instead; the max(inputSize, 1)
keeps the empty-payload case, which still emits one empty segment, from
asking for a zero-length buffer.

Peeled out of the DSPX-2604 stack.

Checklist

  • I have added or updated unit tests
  • I have added or updated integration tests (if appropriate)
  • I have added or updated documentation

Testing Instructions

cd sdk && go test ./... -race

Test_TDFCreateShortReads fails on main with
io.ReadSeeker.Read size mismatch and passes here.

Reviewable in parallel right now, since they sit directly on main and depend on
nothing else: 01, 02, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08.

Why three PRs have a dspx-2604-base-* base. A GitHub PR takes one base branch,
but 11, 17 and 19 each build on more than one parent. The base-* branches are empty
merge commits that exist only to join those parents so the PR diff shows exactly its
own change and nothing else. They contain no code, have no PR of their own, and go
away once their parents land — retarget the child onto main at that point.

Wants a cross-SDK xtest run before merge: 15, 17 (and therefore 20). They touch
the KAS wire format.

Red checks you may see are network flakes, not this stack. Four distinct ones hit
this batch and all clear on re-run: golangci-lint config verify timing out on
https://golangci-lint.run/.../golangci.v2.8.jsonschema.json (fails the whole go (<module>) job and fail-fast cancels its siblings), the bats installer getting a 403,
Docker Hub timing out on keycloak/keycloak:26.4, and buf reporting "the server
hosted at that remote is unavailable" while the Java SDK generates sources. The
govulncheck step also emits ##[error] annotations against the go1.25.11 stdlib, but
it is continue-on-error: true and never fails a job — 01 bumps the toolchain and
clears those annotations.

### Proposed Changes

Adds otdfctl/pkg/streamio, holding the input and output plumbing that
the
streaming encrypt and decrypt work needs, and migrates `inspect` onto it
so
nothing is left calling the buffered helpers it supersedes.

This is groundwork with one user-visible consequence: `inspect` no
longer
reads the whole TDF into memory. Everything else is a move.

Why a new package rather than pkg/cli. The helpers in pkg/cli/pipe.go
call
ExitWithError -- which calls os.Exit -- from inside the read, so they
cannot
be used from anywhere that wants to handle the failure itself, and they
read
the entire input into memory. streamio returns errors and leaves the
decision
to exit with the command layer.

What moved in:

- PipeReader establishes whether stdin is a non-empty pipe with a
one-byte
    Peek instead of a read, so the payload still reaches the caller.
- Spool copies a pipe to a temporary file and rewinds it. A TDF's
manifest
sits at the end of the archive, so decrypt and inspect have to seek and
    cannot consume a pipe directly.
  - OpenSeekable resolves "file argument or piped stdin" to one seekable
    handle, reporting ErrNoInput for the shared "nothing to read" case.
- OutputFile writes to a temporary sibling of the destination and
renames it
into place on Commit, so a failed run leaves no partial output. The temp
file is a sibling so the rename stays atomic rather than degrading to a
    cross-filesystem copy.

Per review feedback on #3921:

- readPipedStdin now delegates its detection to streamio.PipeReader
rather
than answering "is there piped input?" a second way. Its read is still
unbounded; the callers that must stop buffering are changed separately.
- pkg/cli/pipe.go is deprecated rather than deleted, since the package
is
exported and may have callers outside this repository. Worth noting that
ReadFromFile has no size cap at all -- not even the 10 GB the tdf
commands
    apply -- which is its own argument for the notice.

InspectTDF takes an io.ReadSeeker instead of a byte slice. GetTdfType
already
rewinds to the start, so the reader is positioned for LoadTDF. Because
cli.ExitWithError calls os.Exit and skips deferred functions, inspectRun
invokes cleanup explicitly on every exit path, including the successful
one:
piped input is spooled to disk and the temp file would otherwise
survive.

### Checklist

- [x] I have added or updated unit tests
- [ ] I have added or updated integration tests (if appropriate)
- [ ] I have added or updated documentation

### Testing Instructions

```
cd otdfctl && go test ./pkg/streamio/... ./cmd/... -race
```

`inspect` is the only command migrated in this PR; check it still reads
both a
file argument and piped stdin, and that no `otdfctl-spool-*` file
survives
either run.

## Summary by CodeRabbit

- **New Features**
- Added reliable support for inspecting TDF content from files, piped
input, and standard input.
- Added safer output handling that prevents incomplete files from
replacing existing results.
- Added clearer input errors when no content is provided or an input
cannot be opened.

- **Bug Fixes**
  - Improved handling of large and non-seekable input streams.
- Preserved piped input correctly while processing and inspecting
content.
- Non-fatal inspection issues are now reported as warnings where
possible, allowing processing to continue.
