Continuation of #18, implementing the local-file-source plan.

Summary

• Rename the from-url command to from; from-url remains a deprecated alias that prints a warning.
• Accept plain local paths and file://-prefixed paths as sources; file:// is a literal path prefix, not a URI.
• Stream local files in bounded 64 KiB reads through the same decompression, sparse, and writer pipeline as downloads, with no network timeout and no download retries: local failures are reported immediately.
• Validate local sources (open + regular-file check) before the destination is touched; reject empty paths and unsupported schemes with clear errors.
• Detect compression from the file extension, sharing the extension mapping with URL detection.
• Report input progress as Read for local sources and Download for network sources; print HTTP-specific settings only for HTTP/HTTPS sources.
• Rename the public API flash_from_url to flash_from.

Checks

• cargo test --all-features — 139 tests pass.
• cargo fmt -- --check
• cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings

Stack base: #18 (add-ssh-remote-writer).

📝 Walkthrough

The from command accepts local paths and HTTP/HTTPS sources. The from-url command remains as a deprecated alias. Local files use path-based compression detection and “Read” progress labels. OCI handling and HTTP retry behavior remain available.

Changes: Source flashing

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Command and API wiring src/main.rs, src/lib.rs, src/fls/mod.rs, README.md	The CLI adds from and retains from-url as a deprecated alias. The public API is renamed to flash_from. The README documents supported source forms and command usage.
Source reading and processing src/fls/decompress.rs, src/fls/from_url.rs, src/fls/progress.rs	flash_from handles local files and HTTP/HTTPS sources. Local files are read in chunks without download retries or network timeouts. Compression detection supports local path extensions, and progress labels distinguish local reads from downloads.
Source behavior validation tests/from_url.rs, tests/oci_extract.rs, tests/ssh_remote.rs	Tests cover local raw and compressed inputs, source path forms, invalid inputs, the deprecated alias, and local-file input to an SSH destination. Existing HTTP tests call flash_from.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 30d9c

Flashing from local files and HTTP sources works. In one edge case, a truncated download or a late read error produces a misleading error message, although the operation still fails. This is safe to merge with a small follow-up to report the real cause.

Check name	Status	Explanation
Title check		The title clearly summarizes the two primary changes: adding local file sources and renaming the from-url command to from.
Description check		The description directly explains the command rename, local-file support, validation, compression detection, progress reporting, API rename, and verification results.
Docstring Coverage		Docstring coverage is 84.09% which is sufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 44 functions across 9 files.

_{A rabbit reads a path with care
Then sends the bytes along the way
The gzip moon gets gently unwrapped
While “Read” appears beside the stream
The old command still gets a warning
And local files hop into place}

suggestion:
with the HTTP timeout, Range resume and retries moved into the source the feed loop collapses to one path for both sources

let end = loop {
    if writer_handle.is_finished() {
        break FeedEnd::PipelineStopped;
    }
    let chunk = match input.next_chunk().await {
        Ok(Some(chunk)) => chunk,
        Ok(None) => break FeedEnd::Done,
        Err(e) => break FeedEnd::SourceFailed(e),
    };
    // ... content length ...
    if buffer_tx.send(chunk).await.is_err() {
        break FeedEnd::PipelineStopped;
    }
    // ... progress, unchanged ...
};

match end {
    FeedEnd::Done => {}
    FeedEnd::SourceFailed(e) if !writer_handle.is_finished() => return Err(e.into()),
    // A source error after the writer stopped is a symptom; report the cause.
    FeedEnd::SourceFailed(_) | FeedEnd::PipelineStopped => {
        return Err(pipeline_stopped_error(writer_handle, decompressor_handle).await)
    }
}

identity with any regular-file destination before creating DeviceWriter; reject
a match before the destination can be truncated. Compare file identities rather
