+
+Compact RustChain epoch witness format for sneakernet transport on vintage media.
+
+## Usage
+
+```bash
+# Write 100 epoch witnesses starting from epoch 500
+python encoder.py write --epoch 500 --count 100 --device witness.img
+
+# Read back
+python encoder.py read --device witness.img
+
+# Verify integrity
+python encoder.py verify witness.img
+
+# Print disk label
+python encoder.py label
+```
+
+## Supported Formats
+- **Raw floppy image** (`.img`) — write directly to `/dev/fd0`
+- **FAT file** — standard file on any FAT-formatted media (ZIP disks, USB)
+- **QR code** — compact base85 encoding for single-epoch witnesses
+
+## Capacity
+A full 1.44MB floppy holds ~14,000 epoch witnesses.
+
+## Tests
+```bash
+cd witnesses/floppy && pytest test_encoder.py -v
+```
