Eremey Valetov 162cf462b6 Fix CI failures and formatting issues
- Mark test corpus/archives as binary in .gitattributes to prevent
  line ending conversion on CI (fixes extract test size mismatch)
- Fix alignment-unsafe struct cast in uc2_dict.c serialize/deserialize
  (use memcpy-based byte access instead; fixes SEGFAULT on CI)
- Fix formatting issues in docs

Roadmap
=======
The development roadmap is maintained in ``ROADMAP.md`` at the project
root. Key phases:
1. **Decompression MVP** -- Done. Portable decompressor, CLI tool,
CMake build system.
2. **Original Compression Engine** -- Done. LZ77+Huffman compressor
with custom Huffman trees, full backward compatibility, and UC2
personality (``-q`` for scripting). Automated DOSBox-X round-trip
validates 4+5 files in both directions.
3. **Modernized Master-Block Deduplication** -- Done.
CDC with Gear hash, Merkle DAG with content addressing,
cross-archive block store, SimHash near-duplicate detection,
and delta compression. All Phase 3 items complete.
4. **Modern Compression Backends** -- Done. rANS entropy coder (method
10), zstd-style dictionary metadata, content-aware preprocessing
(BCJ, BWT, delta), LZ4 ultra-fast, benchmark mode (``uc2 -B``).
5. **Quantum-Resistant Encryption** -- CRYSTALS-Kyber + AES-256-GCM.
6. **DOS / FreeDOS / Retro-Computing** -- DJGPP toolchain, vintage
hardware support, self-extracting archives.
7. **Cryptographic Integrity & Timestamping** -- BLAKE3 hashing done
(pure C, 256-bit digests). Remaining: integration into archive
blocks, OpenTimestamps.
8. **Decentralized & Cloud Integration** -- IPFS pinning,
content-addressable dedup, cloud archiving.
9. **Zero-Knowledge Proofs** -- Privacy-preserving archive verification.
10. **Ecosystem Integrations** -- libarchive plugin, streaming dedup
ingestion, file manager plugins.
