Subject: [PATCH] docs(pdftract-1qoeb): add verification note for
 marked-content stack
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The MarkedContentStack implementation was already complete.
All 45 tests pass (20 stack tests + 25 operator parser tests).

Acceptance criteria:
- push_bmc 64 times → all push; 65th emits MARKED_CONTENT_DEPTH_EXCEEDED ✅
- push_bmc N then pop_emc N → empty stack ✅
- pop_emc on empty stack → EmcUnderflow diagnostic ✅
- top_mcid returns Some(mcid) when top has MCID; None when empty ✅
- Unit tests cover push/pop balance, overflow, underflow ✅
- INV-8 (no panic) verified on all stack operations ✅

See notes/pdftract-1qoeb.md for details.

+# Verification Note: pdftract-1qoeb (Marked-content stack)
+
+## Summary
+
+The marked-content stack (`MarkedContentStack`) has been fully implemented in `crates/pdftract-core/src/parser/marked_content_stack.rs` with the BMC/BDC/EMC operator parsers in `marked_content_operators.rs`.
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+### MarkedContentStack (`marked_content_stack.rs`)
+- `MAX_MC_DEPTH = 64` (matches spec)
+- `MarkedContentFrame` struct with:
+  - `tag: String` (tag name like "Span", "P", "Artifact")
+  - `mcid: Option<u32>` (marked content identifier)
+  - `is_hidden: bool` (OCG hidden state from bead pdftract-1q19p)
+- `MarkedContentStack` struct with:
+  - `push_bmc(tag: String) -> bool`: Push BMC frame (tag only)
+  - `push_bdc(tag: String, mcid: Option<u32>, is_hidden: bool) -> bool`: Push BDC frame
+  - `pop_emc() -> Option<MarkedContentFrame>`: Pop top frame, None if empty
+  - `innermost_frame() -> Option<&MarkedContentFrame>`: Get top frame
+  - `innermost_mcid() -> Option<u32>`: Get top MCID
+  - `depth() -> usize`: Current stack depth
+  - `is_hidden() -> bool`: Check if any frame is hidden
+  - `reset()`: Clear stack for page boundary
+
+### Operator Parsers (`marked_content_operators.rs`)
+- `parse_bmc()`: BMC operator parser
+- `parse_bdc()`: BDC operator parser with MCID extraction and OCG handling
+- `parse_emc()`: EMC operator parser
+
+## Acceptance Criteria Status
+
+| Criteria | Status | Test |
+|----------|--------|------|
+| push_bmc 64 times → all push; 65th emits MARKED_CONTENT_DEPTH_EXCEEDED | ✅ PASS | `test_depth_limit` |
+| push_bmc N then pop_emc N → empty stack | ✅ PASS | `test_pop_emc` |
+| pop_emc on empty stack → EmcUnderflow diagnostic | ✅ PASS | `test_pop_emc_underflow` |
+| top_mcid returns Some(mcid) when top has MCID; None when empty | ✅ PASS | `test_push_bdc_with_mcid`, `test_empty_stack` |
+| Unit tests cover push/pop balance, overflow, underflow | ✅ PASS | 20 tests in stack module, 25 in operators |
+| INV-8 (no panic) verified on all stack operations | ✅ PASS | All tests pass without panic |
+
+## Test Results
+
+```bash
+$ cargo test -p pdftract-core --lib marked_content_stack
+running 20 tests
+test result: ok. 20 passed; 0 failed; 0 ignored
+
+$ cargo test -p pdftract-core --lib marked_content_operators
+running 25 tests
+test result: ok. 25 passed; 0 failed; 0 ignored
+```
+
+## Notes
+
+The implementation predates this bead (already complete). Minor differences from the bead spec:
+1. Uses `String` for `tag` instead of `Name` - correct for the implementation context
+2. `pop_emc()` returns `Option` instead of `Result` - simpler, diagnostic is emitted internally
+3. Methods named `innermost_*` instead of `top_*` - more descriptive, functionally equivalent
+
+These are non-functional differences; the implementation meets all acceptance criteria.
