+## The CPU clang-tidy lane brought back to baseline (2026-10-02)
+
+`fix/cpu-tidy-regressions`, closes `T-TIDY-CPU-LANE-ABOVE-BASELINE-2026-10-02`.
+
+- `core/src/picture_pool.cpp`: `default_picture_free()` const-qualifies the error
+  variable from `munmap()` (`misc-const-correctness`).
+- `core/src/read_json_model.cpp`: uses `std::cmp_greater_equal()` to safely
+  compare signed file size against unsigned buffer capacity (`modernize-use-integer-sign-comparison`).
+- `core/test/test_psnr_hvs_score.c`: casts multiplication operands to `size_t`
+  (`bugprone-implicit-widening-of-multiplication-result`) and extracts test buffer
+  allocation into helper `alloc_test_buffers()` to keep function length under 50 LOC
+  (`readability-function-size`).
+- `core/test/test_read_pictures_failure_ownership.c`: extracts picture pool
+  ownership verification into helper `verify_pictures_returned_to_pool()` to keep
+  function length under 60 LOC (`readability-function-size`).
+- `core/tools/vmaf.cpp`: replaces runtime `assert()` in `FrameReader::read_frame()`
+  with explicit boundary check returning `-EINVAL` (`cert-dcl03-c,misc-static-assert`).
+- No Netflix golden-data, public API or FFmpeg patch impact.
