+# bf-3uxou: Verify pdftract-cli TH-05 test compilation
+
+## Summary
+Verified that `crates/pdftract-cli/tests/TH-05-ssrf-block.rs` compiles without errors or warnings.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria Status
+
+✅ **PASS**: `cargo check --package pdftract-cli --tests` succeeded
+- No compilation errors
+- No compiler warnings
+
+✅ **PASS**: `cargo test --test TH-05-ssrf-block --package pdftract-cli --no-run` succeeded
+- All test functions compiled successfully
+- Test binary generated successfully
+
+✅ **PASS**: `assert_ssrf_blocked_error` helper compiles
+- Function signature and implementation both valid
+- Proper error checking for SSRF_BLOCKED responses
+
+✅ **PASS**: `SSRF_BLOCKED_CODE` constant properly defined
+- Constant value: `-32001` (i32)
+- Used correctly in assertion helpers
+
+## Test Functions Compiled
+
+All 7 test functions compiled successfully:
+1. `test_ipv4_loopback_blocked` - Tests 127.0.0.1 rejection
+2. `test_ipv4_wildcard_blocked` - Tests 0.0.0.0 rejection
+3. `test_cloud_metadata_blocked` - Tests 169.254.169.254 rejection
+4. `test_rfc1918_private_blocked` - Tests 10.0.0.1 rejection
+5. `test_ipv6_loopback_blocked` - Tests [::1] rejection
+6. `test_http_scheme_rejected` - Tests http:// scheme rejection
+7. `test_no_network_connection_attempted` - Tests no network connection made
+
+## Helper Functions Compiled
+
+All helper functions and RAII guards compiled successfully:
+- `McpServerGuard` - RAII process cleanup guard
+- `spawn_mcp_server()` - Server spawn function
+- `write_framed_message()` - JSON-RPC framing
+- `read_framed_response()` - JSON-RPC response parsing
+- `make_extract_call_request()` - Request construction
+- `extract_error_message()` - Error message extraction
+- `assert_ssrf_blocked_or_stub()` - Flexible assertion helper
+- `assert_ssrf_blocked_error()` - Strict SSRF assertion
+
+## Implementation Details Verified
+
+- Proper use of `Stdio::null()` for stderr (prevents pipe buffer blocking)
+- Bounded timeouts in all wait loops (prevents test hangs)
+- RAII guard pattern ensures cleanup even on panics
+- JSON-RPC framing correctly implemented (Content-Length header + \r\n\r\n)
+- Error handling covers both SSRF_BLOCKED errors and stub responses
+
+## Compilation Commands Used
+
+```bash
+# Check all tests in pdftract-cli
+cargo check --package pdftract-cli --tests
+
+# Compile TH-05-ssrf-block test without running
+cargo test --test TH-05-ssrf-block --package pdftract-cli --no-run
+```
+
+## Results
+
+✅ **All acceptance criteria PASSED**
+- Test file compiles without errors
+- No compiler warnings generated
+- All test functions successfully compiled
+- Helper functions and constants properly defined
+
