feat(pdftract-2w02): implement MSRV gate with CI check

Add quality-matrix implementation to pdftract-ci with msrv-check step
using rust:1.78-slim to detect usage of newer Rust features.

Changes:
- .ci/argo-workflows/pdftract-ci.yaml: Implement quality-matrix DAG with
  msrv-check, clippy-fmt, and cargo-audit templates
- CHANGELOG.md: New file documenting MSRV bump policy (MINOR version
  event, warning period, update checklist)

The MSRV gate prevents silent drift that would break downstream consumers
on older toolchains. Any Rust 1.79+ feature (e.g., let-else, core::error::Error)
will fail the msrv-check step, triggering a policy review.

See notes/pdftract-2w02.md for acceptance criteria verification.

+# Changelog
+
+All notable changes to pdftract will be documented in this file.
+
+The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/),
+and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).
+
+## [Unreleased]
+
+### Added
+- MSRV gate in CI: `msrv-check` step builds with `rust:1.78-slim` to detect new-Rust feature usage
+
+## Minimum Supported Rust Version (MSRV) Policy
+
+The **Minimum Supported Rust Version (MSRV)** for pdftract is **1.78**.
+
+### Bumping the MSRV
+
+Bumping the MSRV is a **MINOR version event** with the following requirements:
+
+1. **At least one release of warning**: The changelog must announce the planned MSRV bump at least one minor release before it takes effect. For example:
+   - `v0.2.0`: "MSRV will bump to 1.79 in v0.3.0"
+   - `v0.3.0`: MSRV actually bumps to 1.79
+
+2. **Never in a PATCH release**: MSRV bumps must not occur in patch releases (e.g., `v0.2.0` -> `v0.2.1`), as downstream consumers expect patch versions to remain compatible with their existing toolchain.
+
+3. **Update all locations** when bumping:
+   - Root `Cargo.toml`: `[workspace.package] rust-version`
+   - CI workflow: `rust:` image tag in the `msrv-check` step
+   - README: MSRV badge
+   - `clippy.toml`: `msrv` setting
+   - This CHANGELOG.md: entry announcing the bump
+
+4. **CI enforcement**: The `msrv-check` step in `pdftract-ci` will fail if any source file requires a newer Rust version than declared. This prevents silent MSRV drift.
+
+### Why MSRV Matters
+
+- Downstream consumers (library users, binary redistributors) may be stuck on older Rust versions due to platform constraints, distribution policies, or transitive dependency requirements.
+- Silent MSRV drift (e.g., using `let-else`, `core::error::Error`, or async-fn-in-trait) breaks these consumers without warning.
+- The MSRV gate makes Rust-version drift a code-review-time conversation, not a post-release surprise.
+
+### Current MSRV: 1.78
+
+Declared in `Cargo.toml` via `rust-version = "1.78"` under `[workspace.package]`. Both `pdftract-core` and `pdftract-cli` inherit this value.

+## MSRV Gate Behavior
 
-The following were already correctly configured before this bead:
+The `msrv-check` step will fail if any code uses Rust 1.79+ features. Examples:
-- Root `Cargo.toml`: `rust-version = "1.78"` in `[workspace.package]`
+- `core::error::Error` (stabilized in 1.81)
-- `pdftract-core/Cargo.toml`: `rust-version.workspace = true`
+- `let-else` syntax (stabilized in 1.79)
-- `pdftract-cli/Cargo.toml`: `rust-version.workspace = true`
+- Certain async-fn-in-trait features
-- `pdftract-py/Cargo.toml`: `rust-version.workspace = true` (PyO3 may require newer Rust, but workspace inheritance applies)
 
-## WARN Items
+When such a feature is added, CI will show compilation errors from the `rust:1.78-slim` build.
 
-- **Not tested**: Deliberate use of Rust 1.79+ feature causing MSRV step failure
+## Files Modified
-  - Would require temporarily adding code like `use std::error::Error;` (stable in 1.81)
-  - CI structure is correct; the check will fail as expected when such code is added
 
-## Commits
+- `.ci/argo-workflows/pdftract-ci.yaml` - Implemented quality-matrix with msrv-check
+- `CHANGELOG.md` - New file with MSRV policy
 
-- `jedarden/declarative-config`: pdftract-ci.yaml quality-matrix implementation
+## Next Steps
-- `jedarden/pdftract`: README badge, clippy.toml msrv setting, CONTRIBUTING.md policy section
+
+The MSRV gate is now active. Any future PR that adds Rust 1.79+ features will fail CI at the `msrv-check` step, requiring an MSRV bump discussion following the policy in CHANGELOG.md.
