feat(pdftract-5omc): implement per-language conformance test runner pattern

Implements the conformance test runner pattern for all 10 SDKs as specified
in the plan (line 3547). Each SDK now has a dedicated conformance test runner.

Created:
- tests/sdk-conformance/report-schema.json: JSON schema for conformance reports
- docs/notes/sdk-conformance-runner.md: Pattern documentation and reference
- crates/pdftract-cli/tests/conformance.rs: Rust cargo test target
- tests/conformance/test_conformance.py: Python pytest harness
- tests/conformance/conformance.test.ts: Node.js vitest runner
- tests/conformance/conformance_test.go: Go go test runner
- tests/conformance/ConformanceTest.java: Java JUnit 5 runner
- tests/conformance/ConformanceTests.cs: .NET xUnit runner
- tests/conformance/conformance.c: C standalone binary
- tests/conformance/conformance_test.rb: Ruby minitest runner
- tests/conformance/ConformanceTest.php: PHP PHPUnit runner
- tests/conformance/ConformanceTests.swift: Swift XCTest runner

All runners implement:
- Loading of tests/sdk-conformance/cases.json
- Execution of test cases with language-native method invocations
- Comparison of results against expected values with numeric tolerances
- Emission of machine-readable conformance-report.json
- Non-zero exit on failures/errors for CI gating

Acceptance criteria:
- PASS: All 10 SDKs have language-specific runners
- PASS: Runners consume shared cases.json
- PASS: Runners emit JSON reports matching schema
- PASS: Runners exit non-zero on failure
- WARN: README integration pending SDK repo creation
- WARN: Stub implementations return placeholder results

References:
- Plan line 3547: "Every SDK has a pdftract-sdk-conformance test runner"
- Plan line 3589: "Conformance suite results published as Argo artifact"

+# SDK Conformance Test Runner Pattern
+
+This document describes the conformance test runner pattern that every SDK implements for pdftract.
+
+## Overview
+
+The conformance test suite is the SDK API contract. Every SDK must implement a test runner that:
+
+1. Loads the shared `tests/sdk-conformance/cases.json` file
+2. Iterates through test cases
+3. Invokes the SDK's native methods with the case's options
+4. Compares the result against expected values with tolerances
+5. Reports per-case pass/fail/skip/error status
+6. Emits a machine-readable JSON summary (`conformance-report.json`)
+
+## Conformance Report Schema
+
+See `tests/sdk-conformance/report-schema.json` for the full JSON schema.
+
+Key fields:
+- `sdk`: SDK name (e.g., "pdftract-py", "pdftract-node")
+- `sdk_version`: SDK version that produced the report
+- `suite_version`: Version of the conformance suite run
+- `results`: Array of per-case results with `id`, `status`, `actual`, `expected`, `error`, `reason`, `duration_ms`
+- `summary`: Aggregate counts for `total`, `passed`, `failed`, `skipped`, `errors`
+- `environment`: OS, arch, binary version, runtime version
+
+## Per-Language Runners
+
+| SDK | Path | Test Framework | CLI Command |
+|-----|------|----------------|-------------|
+| Rust | `crates/pdftract-cli/tests/conformance.rs` | cargo test | `cargo test --test conformance` |
+| Python | `tests/conformance/test_conformance.py` | pytest | `pytest tests/conformance/test_conformance.py -v` |
+| Node.js | `tests/conformance/conformance.test.ts` | vitest | `vitest test/conformance/conformance.test.ts` |
+| Go | `tests/conformance/conformance_test.go` | go test | `go test -v ./conformance_test.go` |
+| Java | `tests/conformance/ConformanceTest.java` | JUnit 5 | `mvn test -Dtest=ConformanceTest` |
+| .NET | `tests/conformance/ConformanceTests.cs` | xUnit | `dotnet test --filter ConformanceTests` |
+| C | `tests/conformance/conformance.c` | standalone binary | `./conformance [suite-path] [output-path]` |
+| Ruby | `tests/conformance/conformance_test.rb` | minitest | `ruby test/conformance/conformance_test.rb` |
+| PHP | `tests/conformance/ConformanceTest.php` | PHPUnit | `./vendor/bin/phpunit tests/ConformanceTest.php` |
+| Swift | `tests/conformance/ConformanceTests.swift` | XCTest | `swift test --filter ConformanceTests` |
+
+## Shared Comparison Logic
+
+All runners implement the same comparison logic with tolerances:
+
+### Numeric Comparison with Tolerance
+
+```pseudocode
+function compare_with_tolerance(actual, expected, tolerance):
+    if tolerance is null:
+        return abs(actual - expected) < EPSILON
+
+    if tolerance.abs exists:
+        if abs(actual - expected) <= tolerance.abs:
+            return true
+
+    if tolerance.rel exists:
+        diff = abs(actual - expected)
+        avg = (actual + expected) / 2.0
+        if avg > 0.0 and diff / avg <= tolerance.rel:
+            return true
+
+    return false
+```
+
+### Wildcard Path Matching
+
+Tolerances use JSONPath-like wildcard syntax:
+- `pages[*].blocks[*].bbox` matches all bbox values
+- `pages[0].spans[*].confidence` matches all confidence values in page 0
+
+### Expected Value Constraints
+
+The expected object supports special constraint fields:
+
+| Field | Type | Description |
+|-------|------|-------------|
+| `min` | number | Minimum numeric value |
+| `max` | number | Maximum numeric value |
+| `value` | number | Exact value (with tolerance) |
+| `min_length` | number | Minimum string/array length |
+| `contains` | array | String must contain all substrings |
+| `min` | number | Minimum array length |
+| `max` | number | Maximum array length |
+
+## Test Case Execution Flow
+
+1. Load test case from suite
+2. Check `min_schema_version` - skip if SDK schema is too old
+3. Resolve fixture path (handle remote URLs)
+4. Execute SDK method with options
+5. Compare result against expected with tolerances
+6. Record result with timing
+7. Emit final report
+
+## Exit Codes
+
+- `0`: All tests passed (or all failures were skips)
+- `1`: One or more tests failed or errored
+
+## CI Integration
+
+The per-SDK Argo publish workflow MUST run the conformance runner BEFORE publishing. A failed runner aborts the publish step.
+
+Example Argo step:
+
+```yaml
+- name: conformance
+  template: conformance-runner
+  arguments:
+    parameters:
+    - name: sdk
+      value: pdftract-py
+
+- name: publish
+  template: publish-to-pypi
+  dependencies:
+  - conformance
+  when: "{{steps.conformance.exitCode}}"
+```
+
+## README Integration
+
+Each SDK's README should have a "Conformance" section that links to the latest published report:
+
+```markdown
+## Conformance
+
+This SDK passes the official pdftract conformance suite. Latest report: [conformance-pdftract-py-0.1.0.json](https://argoproj.example/artifacts/conformance-pdftract-py-0.1.0.json)
+```
+
+## Stub Implementation Notes
+
+The current runners contain stub implementations for `executeMethod()` that return placeholder values. These must be replaced with actual SDK calls when:
+
+1. The SDK's native methods are implemented
+2. The binary interface is stable
+3. The JSON output schema is finalized
+
+Until then, the runners serve as:
+- A reference implementation pattern
+- A starting point for SDK development
+- Documentation of expected behavior
+
+## Adding New Test Cases
+
+To add a new test case to the suite:
+
+1. Add the case to `tests/sdk-conformance/cases.json`
+2. Bump `version` in the suite (if cases changed)
+3. Update all SDK runners to handle the new case (if needed)
+4. Verify all SDKs pass the updated suite before publishing

-## Implementation Notes
+## Implementation Details
 
-The Rust reference implementation in `conformance.rs` is comprehensive and demonstrates:
-- Loading the test suite from JSON
-- Feature availability checking
-- Schema version validation
-- Min/max range comparisons
-- String constraint checking (min_length, contains)
-- Tolerance-based numeric comparisons with wildcard path matching
-- Report generation with pass/fail/skip/error status
+### Shared Comparison Logic
 
-The CLI `compare` subcommand provides a language-agnostic comparison tool that SDKs can invoke instead of reimplementing the comparison logic. This reduces duplication and ensures consistency across all 10 SDKs.
+All runners implement identical comparison semantics:
 
-The Python stub in `test_conformance.py` follows the same pattern and can be used as a template for other SDKs. It includes pytest fixtures for easy integration.
+- **Numeric tolerances**: Both absolute (`abs`) and relative (`rel`) tolerance support
+- **Wildcard path matching**: JSONPath-style `pages[*].blocks[*].bbox` patterns
+- **Constraint fields**: `min`, `max`, `min_length`, `contains` for flexible assertions
+- **Nested object/array comparison**: Recursive comparison with detailed failure paths
 
-## Testing
+### Test Status Values
 
-To test the Rust implementation:
-```bash
-cd crates/pdftract-core
-cargo test conformance
+Each test case result has one of four statuses:
+- `pass`: Actual matches expected within tolerances
+- `fail`: Actual does not match expected
+- `skip`: Feature unavailable or schema version too low
+- `error`: Exception thrown or unexpected failure
+
+### Report Structure
+
+```json
+{
+  "sdk": "pdftract-<lang>",
+  "sdk_version": "0.1.0",
+  "suite_version": "1.0.0",
+  "schema_version": "1.0",
+  "timestamp": "2026-05-18T...",
+  "results": [
+    {
+      "id": "extract-vector-scientific-paper",
+      "status": "pass",
+      "actual": {...},
+      "expected": {...},
+      "duration_ms": 123
+    }
+  ],
+  "summary": {
+    "total": 32,
+    "passed": 30,
+    "failed": 0,
+    "skipped": 2,
+    "errors": 0,
+    "duration_ms": 5000
+  },
+  "environment": {
+    "os": "linux",
+    "arch": "x86_64",
+    "binary_version": "0.1.0",
+    "runtime_version": "..."
+  }
+}
 ```
 
-To test the CLI compare command:
+## Known Limitations
+
+1. **Stub Implementations**: All runners currently use stub `executeMethod()` functions that return placeholder values. These must be replaced with actual SDK calls when the SDKs are implemented.
+
+2. **SDK Repository Placement**: The runners are currently in the main `pdftract` repository. Per the plan (line 3579), each SDK lives in its own git repository. These runners will need to be moved to their respective SDK repositories when those are created.
+
+3. **README Integration**: The acceptance criterion for README "Conformance" sections linking to published reports cannot be verified until the SDK repositories exist and have their first published reports.
+
+4. **CI/Argo Integration**: The runners produce reports that can be uploaded as Argo artifacts, but the actual Argo workflow templates that consume these reports are deferred to future beads (SDK publish workflows).
+
+## Verification Commands
+
+To verify the Rust runner (which can be run immediately):
 ```bash
-cd crates/pdftract-cli
-cargo run -- compare <actual.json> <expected.json>
+cargo test --test conformance -- --nocapture
 ```
 
-To test the Python stub:
+To verify other runners (requires respective runtimes):
 ```bash
-cd tests/python-conformance
-pytest test_conformance.py -v
+# Python
+pytest tests/conformance/test_conformance.py -v
+
+# Node.js (requires TypeScript)
+vitest test/conformance/conformance.test.ts
+
+# Go
+go test -v ./tests/conformance/conformance_test.go
 ```
 
 ## Next Steps
 
-When individual SDKs are created:
-1. Copy the appropriate pattern from the reference implementation
-2. Implement the `_execute_test` method with actual SDK calls
-3. Configure the SDK's Argo workflow to run the conformance runner
-4. Add the conformance report artifact upload step
-5. Link the report from the SDK's README
+1. When SDK repositories are created, move each runner to its SDK repo
+2. Replace stub `executeMethod()` with actual SDK bindings
+3. Run each runner against the full conformance suite
+4. Upload reports as Argo artifacts in publish workflows
+5. Add "Conformance" sections to each SDK's README
