Analyze FBDynamicImageOverlayFilter and related GPU pixel manipulation for steganographic embedding.
Critical Discovery: Data Extraction Shader
extractFromSample Shader (Metal)
Found embedded Metal shader performing **binary data extraction from pixel BGR channels**:
// Reconstructs IEEE 754 floating-point values from pixel color channels
// Samples 14 pixel locations with 3 channels each (BGR)
// Yields approximately 42 bits per floating-point value
// Encodes two float values (X and Z offsets) = 84 bits per frame**Significance:** This shader is designed to **extract** encoded data from images, confirming steganographic extraction capability.
