From f7e6ff41733e06b7b717cc5d51486b20553f3ab3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: jedarden Date: Fri, 22 May 2026 15:29:43 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] docs(pdftract-5cqy): add xref stream parser verification note The xref stream parser implementation was already complete in crates/pdftract-core/src/parser/xref.rs. All acceptance criteria pass: - Simple test /W [1 4 2] /Index [0 6]: 6 entries decoded correctly - Type-2 compressed entries: route through ObjStm correctly - Multi-subsection /Index [0 3 100 2]: produces correct entries - Predictor support: FlateDecode + PNG predictor handled - Zero-width field /W [1 4 0]: generation defaults to 0 - proptest: random byte sequences never panic - INV-8 maintained: no production panics All 11 xref stream tests pass.
