in Markdown output, allowing downstream tools to map excerpts back to
precise PDF locations.
Changes:
- Add markdown module with Anchor struct and parse_anchors() function
- Regex: <!-- pdftract: page=(\d+) block=(\d+) bbox=[([\d.,]+)] kind=(\w+) -->
- Add markdown_anchors: bool to ExtractionOptions
- Add --md-anchors CLI flag
- Implement block_to_markdown() and page_to_markdown() functions
- Add comprehensive documentation in docs/integrations/markdown-anchors.md
- 16 unit tests pass, including roundtrip test
Closes: pdftract-vk0gc
The detect_merged_cells function was implemented but not exported from
the table module, making it inaccessible to library users. This commit
adds the function to the public API exports.
Also adds a verification note documenting the complete implementation
and the export fix.
Acceptance criteria status:
- All 6 merged cell detection tests pass
- Public Cell.rowspan/colspan fields exist with default 1
- Absorbed cells are excluded from output
- Bbox of merged cell covers absorbed cells
- Borderless tables NO-OP with diagnostic

Implement header row detection for tables using two signals:
1. Bold font detection (fully implemented)
2. StructTree TH detection (stub pending MCID tracking)
Bold detection:
- is_bold_font(): detects bold fonts from PostScript name patterns
- is_cell_bold(): checks if all non-whitespace content in a cell is bold
- is_bold_header_row(): validates rows with >=2 bold cells
- count_header_rows(): counts contiguous bold headers from top
- Cell::mark_header_rows(): sets is_header_row flag on cells
TH detection (stub):
- is_th_header_row(): placeholder for StructTree TH detection
Requires MCID tracking on TableSpan (future work)
Will use ParentTree to map MCIDs to StructElems
Will verify TR > TH chain structure
Combined detection:
- is_header_row(): combines bold and TH signals
- Bold wins on conflict per body data design principle
Documentation:
- Updated table-structure-reconstruction.md with full header detection spec
- Documented implemented vs pending signals
- Added implementation notes for TH detection
Tests:
- 45 tests covering all bold detection scenarios
- Tests for multi-row headers (contiguous from top)
- Tests for single-cell row exclusion
- Tests for empty/whitespace cell handling
- Placeholder tests for TH detection

- Add decode_page_content_streams() function for per-page lazy decode
- Update extract_page_from_dict() to support lazy stream decoding
- Modify extract_pdf() and extract_pdf_ndjson() to enable lazy decoding
- Fix borrow checker issue in LazyPageIter::next()
This ensures content streams are decoded lazily per page and dropped
immediately after processing, keeping peak RSS flat across page count.

Add a Repository Layout subsection: SDK source lives at root-level pdftract-<lang>/
in this monorepo (single source of truth), generated via pdftract sdk codegen and
published to language registries from here. Retire the legacy standalone repos.

Add a Memory targets table as a first-class acceptance criterion alongside
Accuracy/Speed/Weight, with a hard per-document peak-RSS ceiling that must not
scale with input/payload. Promote OOM-safety to a Tier-1 hard gate. Reconcile
the contradictory 2 GB max_decompress_bytes default to the research-backed 512 MB
(root cause of an observed multi-GB OOM via the unbounded PNG-predictor pre-alloc
under rayon page parallelism).

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"
