New research document covering parallel extraction architecture:
rayon page-level parallelism, Arc<> shared xref/font/object-stream
caches, RwLock font cache design, Tesseract thread-local OCR pool,
semaphore memory budget, ordered NDJSON streaming slot array, and
catch_unwind error isolation per page.
Also adds docs/research-index.md: a 622-line navigable index of all
83 research documents grouped into 9 thematic categories, with a
"Start Here" reading path, per-phase implementation reading tables,
and an alphabetical lookup table covering every document.

Two new research documents covering the glyph-to-span-to-block assembly
pipeline (inter-operator merging, adaptive word gap threshold, column
detection, ligature bbox splitting, multi-granularity output) and
Unicode post-processing (NFC normalization, selective NFKC decomposition

handling, combining character reordering).
Also adds docs/plan/implementation-plan.md: the full 7-phase Rust
implementation roadmap covering core parser, font/encoding pipeline,
content stream processing, text assembly, OCR integration, API surface,
and advanced features — with crate selections, complexity ratings,
test strategy, and v0.1–v1.0 release milestones.
