Problem domain
Heterogeneous files need type-aware processing, metadata handling and clear failure boundaries without assuming a single file purpose.
Engineering objectives
- Classify inputs before selecting a processing path.
- Keep metadata and transformation stages traceable.
- Return interpretable outcomes and recoverable failures.
Conceptual architecture
An ingestion boundary establishes file identity and classification. Type-aware processors operate within transformation boundaries, then produce normalized results with metadata and failure context.
Input
- File intake
- Identity and metadata
- Type classification
Processing
- Processor selection
- Bounded transformation
- Failure isolation
Output
- Normalized result
- Processing status
- Recovery context
Processing / execution lifecycle
- File ingestion
- Classification
- Metadata extraction
- Type-aware processing
- Transformation boundary
- Result and recovery record
Technical principles
- Format-aware processing
- Traceable transformation
- Explicit failure isolation
- General file utility scope
Operational considerations
Unsupported formats and partial processing require explicit outcomes. Recovery should preserve the source and make transformation state inspectable.
Security, reliability & disclosure
YapTrap is described as a general file utility, not as a suspicious-file-only product.
