test(bf-2n36a): capture baseline cargo nextest output without timing flags

- Ran cargo nextest run -p pdftract-core --lib to establish baseline
- Captured 2,902 lib tests in 4.527s (2857 passed, 45 failed, 2 skipped)
- Saved output to notes/bf-mge0o-baseline.log (411.8KB)
- Created verification note at notes/bf-2n36a.md
- Output shows standard nextest format for comparison with timing-flagged runs

Closes bf-2n36a

+# bf-2n36a: Baseline cargo nextest without timing flags
+
+## Task
+Run baseline cargo nextest without timing flags to establish output format for comparison with timing-flagged runs.
+
+## Implementation
+
+### Command Run
+```bash
+cargo nextest run -p pdftract-core --lib 2>&1 | tee notes/bf-mge0o-baseline.log
+```
+
+Ran on `pdftract-core` lib tests only (integration tests excluded due to compilation errors in `cjk_encoding.rs`).
+
+### Output Format Captured
+
+**Baseline nextest output characteristics:**
+- Individual test lines: `PASS [   0.018s] (2869/2902) pdftract-core threads::tests::test_thread_header_with_fields`
+- Test count and timing per test
+- Summary section: `Summary [   4.527s] 2902 tests run: 2857 passed, 45 failed, 2 skipped`
+- Failed tests listed with individual timings
+
+**Test Suite:**
+- 2,902 lib tests from `pdftract-core`
+- Runtime: 4.527s total
+- 2857 passed, 45 failed, 2 skipped
+
+### Output File
+Saved to: `notes/bf-mge0o-baseline.log` (411.8KB)
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- ✅ **PASS**: Baseline output file exists at `notes/bf-mge0o-baseline.log`
+- ✅ **PASS**: Output shows standard nextest format without timing data
+  - Individual test results with `[ <time>s]` format
+  - Summary section with total runtime
+  - Failed test listing
+- ✅ **PASS**: File shows which test suite was run (pdftract-core lib tests)
+
+## Notes
+
+- Integration tests in `crates/pdftract-core/tests/` were excluded due to compilation errors in `cjk_encoding.rs`
+- Baseline established on lib tests only, which provides sufficient format reference
+- Output shows nextest's standard single-threaded timing format (no machine-readable output flags)
+
+## Verification
+- Output file reviewed and confirmed to contain standard nextest format
+- Baseline can now be compared against runs with `--timer-format-plain`, `--message-format=json`, etc.
