We introduce a fixed-threshold evaluation protocol that holds decision thresholds fixed across all post-processing transformations (JPEG compression, blur, downscaling), exposing a forensic-semantic spectrum: frequency-aided CNNs collapse under compression (93.33% → 61.49%) while ViTs degrade minimally (92.86% → 88.36%).
