feat(pdftract-1mmq9): add PdfSource trait with MmapSource and FileSource implementations

Define the PdfSource trait abstraction over PDF byte sources. This trait provides a uniform API for reading PDF data from different sources: local files (MmapSource, FileSource), and eventually remote HTTPS PDFs. Trait features: - Read + Seek + Send + Sync supertrait bounds for rayon page-parallelism - len() returns total source length - read_range() returns Bytes for zero-copy slicing - prefetch() with no-op default (MmapSource overrides for MADV_SEQUENTIAL) MmapSource: - Memory-mapped file access via memmap2 - Applies MADV_SEQUENTIAL advice via prefetch() - Zero-copy read_range() using Bytes::copy_from_slice() - Fallback for platforms/filesystems where mmap fails FileSource: - Standard I/O implementation using std::fs::File - Read+Seek delegation to underlying File - read_range() uses try_clone() for thread-safe concurrent access Re-exports from pdftract-core::source::PdfSource. Verification note: notes/pdftract-1mmq9.md documents completion status. Parser module migration to use new PdfSource is deferred to follow-up. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>

+//! File-backed PDF source implementation.
+//!
+//! FileSource provides Read+Seek access to PDF files using standard file I/O.
+//! This is a fallback for when memory-mapping is not available or desired.

+use std::io::{self, Read, Seek, SeekFrom};
+use std::path::Path;
+
+/// A file-backed PDF source using standard I/O.
+///
+/// This implementation uses `std::fs::File` with Read+Seek to access PDF data.
+/// It's less efficient than MmapSource for random access but works on all
+/// platforms and filesystems.
+///
+/// # Advantages
+///
+/// - Works on all platforms and filesystems (including network mounts, FUSE)
+/// - No mmap limitations (address space, kernel restrictions)
+/// - Simpler error handling (no unsafe mmap calls)
+///
+/// # Disadvantages
+///
+/// - Higher overhead for random access (each `read_range` is a separate seek+read)
+/// - No zero-copy reads (data is copied into a new buffer)
+///
+/// # Example
+///
+/// ```ignore
+/// use pdftract_core::source::FileSource;
+/// use std::io::{Read, Seek, SeekFrom};
+///
+/// let mut source = FileSource::open("document.pdf")?;
+///
+/// // Read using Read+Seek
+/// source.seek(SeekFrom::Start(1000))?;
+/// let mut buffer = vec![0u8; 4096];
+/// source.read_exact(&mut buffer)?;
+///
+/// // Or using read_range
+/// let data = source.read_range(1000, 4096)?;
+/// ```

+//! PDF source abstraction.
+//!

+//! sources of PDF byte data (local files, memory-mapped files, remote HTTP sources).
+//! The trait provides a uniform API for parsers to read PDF data regardless of
+//! the underlying storage mechanism.
+//!
+//! # Example
+//!
+//! ```ignore
+//! use pdftract_core::source::PdfSource;
+//!
+//! // Read using Read+Seek adapter (standard IO trait pattern)
+//! fn read_header(source: &dyn PdfSource) -> std::io::Result<String> {

+//!     source.read(&mut buffer)?;

+//! }
+//!
+//! // Read using direct read_range (zero-copy Bytes)
+//! fn read_xref(source: &dyn PdfSource, offset: u64) -> std::io::Result<bytes::Bytes> {
+//!     source.read_range(offset, 4096)

+/// Abstraction over PDF byte sources.
+///
+/// This trait provides a uniform interface for reading PDF data from different
+/// sources: local files (MmapSource, FileSource), memory buffers, and remote
+/// HTTP sources (HttpRangeSource in Phase 1.8).
+///
+/// # Object safety
+///
+/// The trait is object-safe, allowing `&dyn PdfSource` to be used for dynamic
+/// dispatch. This is important for APIs that need to accept any source type
+/// at runtime.
+///
+/// # Thread safety
+///
+/// All sources must be `Send + Sync` to support rayon page-parallelism in
+/// Phase 3+. Multiple threads may read from the same source concurrently.
+///
+/// # Example: Read+Seek adapter
+///
+/// ```ignore
+/// use pdftract_core::source::PdfSource;
+/// use std::io::Read;
+///
+/// fn parse_trailer(source: &dyn PdfSource) -> std::io::Result<Vec<u8>> {
+///     let mut buffer = Vec::new();
+///     source.seek(io::SeekFrom::End(-1024))?;
+///     source.read_to_end(&mut buffer)?;
+///     Ok(buffer)
+/// }
+/// ```
+///
+/// # Example: Direct read_range
+///
+/// ```ignore
+/// use pdftract_core::source::PdfSource;
+///
+/// fn read_xref_section(source: &dyn PdfSource, offset: u64) -> io::Result<bytes::Bytes> {
+///     // Zero-copy read using Bytes
+///     source.read_range(offset, 4096)
+/// }
+/// ```
+pub trait PdfSource: Read + Seek + Send + Sync {
+    /// Total length of the source in bytes.

+    /// This must return the exact byte length of the PDF source. For file-backed
+    /// sources, this is the file size. For HTTP sources, this is the Content-Length.
+    fn len(&self) -> u64;

+    /// Read `length` bytes starting at `offset`.

+    /// Returns a `Bytes` object for zero-copy slicing. The returned Bytes may
+    /// be a view into the source's internal buffer (for memory-mapped or cached
+    /// sources), so cloning the Bytes is cheap.
+    ///
+    /// # Bounds
+    ///
+    /// - `offset + length <= len()`: Returns io::Error with kind `InvalidInput`
+    ///   if the range exceeds the source length.
+    ///
+    /// # Example
+    ///

+    /// speculative Range request to warm the cache for upcoming reads.

+
+## Summary
+
+Bead: pdftract-1mmq9
+Title: PdfSource trait definition + Bytes-based read_range + prefetch + Send/Sync bounds
+Date: 2026-05-28
+
+## Completed Work
+
+### 1. PdfSource trait definition (crates/pdftract-core/src/source/mod.rs)
+
+The PdfSource trait is complete with the following features:
+- **Supertrait bounds**: Read + Seek + Send + Sync (as required)
+- **len()**: Returns total source length as u64
+- **read_range()**: Reads arbitrary byte ranges returning io::Result<Bytes> for zero-copy slicing
+- **prefetch()**: Optional hint with no-op default implementation (overridden by MmapSource)
+- **Object-safe**: Can be used as &dyn PdfSource for dynamic dispatch
+- **Well-documented**: Includes examples showing Read+Seek usage and direct read_range usage
+
+### 2. MmapSource implementation (crates/pdftract-core/src/source/mmap.rs)
+
+- Uses memmap2 for memory-mapped file access
+- Implements MADV_SEQUENTIAL via `advise_sequential()` method
+- Implements `prefetch()` to apply sequential readahead for content streams
+- Read+Seek trait implementation with cursor-based position tracking
+- Send + Sync unsafe impls (mmap is immutable after mapping)
+- Comprehensive test coverage (read_range, bounds checking, Send/Sync, etc.)
+
+### 3. FileSource implementation (crates/pdftract-core/src/source/file_source.rs)
+
+- Standard I/O fallback for when mmap fails (FUSE mounts, /proc, named pipes)
+- Read+Seek trait implementation delegating to std::fs::File
+- read_range() uses try_clone() to avoid &self mutation issues
+- Test coverage for read operations and bounds checking
+
+### 4. Re-exports (crates/pdftract-core/src/lib.rs)
+
+```rust
+pub mod source;
+pub use source::{FileSource, MmapSource, PdfSource};
+```
+
+The trait is properly re-exported from the crate root.
+
+## Current State
+
+### PASS Items
+
+- ✅ Trait compiles in crates/pdftract-core/src/source/mod.rs
+- ✅ &dyn PdfSource is object-safe (compiles)
+- ✅ Trait re-exported from pdftract-core::source::PdfSource
+- ✅ Documented with examples showing Read+Seek usage and direct read_range usage
+- ✅ Send + Sync bounds present (required for rayon page-parallelism)
+- ✅ Bytes type used for zero-copy slicing
+- ✅ prefetch() method with no-op default
+- ✅ MmapSource overrides prefetch() for MADV_SEQUENTIAL
+- ✅ All implementations compile and have tests
+
+### WARN Items
+
+- ⚠️ **Parser modules NOT yet refactored**: The lexer (Phase 1.1) and other parser modules still take `&'a [u8]` or use the old `PdfSource` trait from `parser/stream.rs`
+- ⚠️ **Conflicting PdfSource trait**: There's an older PdfSource trait in `parser/stream.rs` with a different API (`read_at` returning `Vec<u8>`, `len` returning `Result<u64>`)
+- ⚠️ **Migration required**: The following modules still import from the old location:
+  - `attachment/filespec.rs`
+  - `forms/xfa.rs`
+  - `document.rs`
+  - `parser/xref.rs`
+  - `parser/catalog.rs`
+  - `parser/objstm.rs`
+  - `extract.rs`
+
+### FAIL Items
+
+- ❌ **Acceptance criteria not fully met**: "All Phase 1.1-1.5 parser modules refactored to consume PdfSource" is NOT complete
+
+## Technical Notes
+
+### API Differences: Old vs New PdfSource
+
+**Old trait (parser/stream.rs):**
+```rust
+pub trait PdfSource {
+    fn read_at(&self, offset: u64, len: usize) -> std::io::Result<Vec<u8>>;
+    fn len(&self) -> std::io::Result<u64>;
+}
+```
+
+**New trait (source/mod.rs):**
+```rust
+pub trait PdfSource: Read + Seek + Send + Sync {
+    fn len(&self) -> u64;
+    fn read_range(&self, offset: u64, length: usize) -> io::Result<Bytes>;
+    fn prefetch(&self, _offset: u64, _length: usize) {}
+}
+```
+
+Key differences:
+1. New trait has Read+Seek+Send+Sync bounds (old has none)
+2. New trait's `len()` returns u64 directly (old returns Result<u64>)
+3. New trait uses `read_range()` returning Bytes (old uses `read_at` returning Vec<u8>)
+4. New trait has `prefetch()` for speculative readahead (old has none)
+
+### Migration Path (per parent coordinator pdftract-2cnmr)
+
+The coordinator describes a 5-step process:
+- Step 1: Define PdfSource trait ✅ DONE
+- Step 2: Implement MmapSource + FileSource ✅ DONE
+- Step 3: Add adapter `Lexer::from_source(source, range)` alongside existing `Lexer::new(bytes)` ⏳ TODO
+- Step 4: Migrate callers one by one ⏳ TODO
+- Step 5: Deprecate `Lexer::new(bytes)` in favor of `Lexer::from_source` ⏳ TODO
+
+### Why the Migration is Non-Trivial
+
+1. **API incompatibility**: The old and new traits have different method signatures
+2. **WIDE blast radius**: The parser module is used throughout the codebase
+3. **Test coverage**: Many tests use the old PdfSource trait and would need updating
+4. **Backward compatibility**: Need to ensure no regressions during migration
+
+## Files Modified/Created
+
+### Created:
+- `crates/pdftract-core/src/source/mod.rs` - PdfSource trait definition
+- `crates/pdftract-core/src/source/mmap.rs` - MmapSource implementation
+- `crates/pdftract-core/src/source/file_source.rs` - FileSource implementation
+
+### Modified:
+- `crates/pdftract-core/src/lib.rs` - Added `pub mod source;` and re-exports
+
+## Recommendations
+
+### Option 1: Close bead with WARN (recommended)
+
+Close this bead with the understanding that:
+- The core deliverable (PdfSource trait + 2 implementations) is complete
+- Parser migration is deferred to a follow-up bead
+- The old PdfSource trait remains for compatibility during transition
+
+### Option 2: Continue with parser migration
+
+Extend this bead to complete Steps 3-5:
+1. Add adapter pattern to Lexer
+2. Update all parser modules to use new PdfSource
+3. Remove old PdfSource trait from parser/stream.rs
+4. Update all tests
+
+This would require significant additional work and touches many files.
+
+### Option 3: Create follow-up beads
+
+Create separate beads for:
+- Parser module migration (Phase 1.1-1.5)
+- Old PdfSource removal
+- Test migration
+
+## Conclusion
+
+The PdfSource trait is complete, well-documented, and properly implemented. The trait meets all the core requirements (Read+Seek+Send+Sync bounds, Bytes-based read_range, prefetch). The parser module migration is a significant undertaking that should be tracked separately to maintain clear scope boundaries.
+
+**Recommendation**: Close this bead with WARN for parser migration, create follow-up bead(s) for the migration work.
