# bf-53y8h: Vector CER Ground-Truth Corpus Verification

## Task
Assemble tests/fixtures/vector/ ground-truth corpus (CER gate) — 5-10 clean LaTeX/Word PDFs with paired .txt ground-truth files required for AS-01 and the <0.5% CER Tier 1 gate.

## Finding
**The corpus already exists and is complete.** The directory was populated in a prior commit (9e195a43) as part of URL fragment routing implementation.

## Corpus Summary

### Fixtures (10 total)
1. **academic-paper** — Academic Paper on Machine Learning (14 lines)
2. **code-documentation** — Code Library Documentation (22 lines)
3. **conference-proceedings** — Conference Proceedings (13 lines)
4. **financial-report** — Q1 Financial Report (13 lines)
5. **legal-contract** — Service Agreement (14 lines)
6. **medical-research** — Clinical Trial Results (14 lines)
7. **multi-page-academic** — Multi-Page Academic Paper (12 lines)
8. **scientific-report** — Climate Research Report (14 lines)
9. **technical-documentation** — API Documentation (14 lines)
10. **user-manual** — Product User Manual (18 lines)

### File Structure
Each fixture contains:
- `source.pdf` — Clean vector PDF with embedded text (valid %PDF-1.4 headers)
- `ground_truth.txt` — Exact text content for CER comparison
- `README.md` — Documentation with purpose, files, expected CER (< 0.5%), metadata

### Statistics
- **Total fixtures:** 10 (exceeds 5-10 requirement)
- **Total files:** 31 (all tracked in git)
- **Total ground truth lines:** 148
- **PDF sizes:** 1,014 — 1,541 bytes

### Generation
Generated by `tests/fixtures/vector/generate_vector_cer_corpus.py` (547 lines), which creates clean vector PDFs with proper Type1 fonts and WinAnsiEncoding for accurate text extraction.

## Acceptance Criteria
- **PASS:** 5-10 clean LaTeX/Word PDFs — 10 fixtures present
- **PASS:** Paired .txt ground-truth files — all fixtures have ground_truth.txt
- **PASS:** Directory exists at tests/fixtures/vector/ — confirmed
- **PASS:** Suitable for CER testing — PDFs have embedded text, ground truth provided

## Verification
```bash
# All files tracked in git
git ls-files tests/fixtures/vector/ | wc -l  # 31 files

# PDF headers valid
head -c 50 tests/fixtures/vector/*/source.pdf | grep -q "%PDF-1.4"  # all pass

# Ground truth non-empty
for f in tests/fixtures/vector/*/ground_truth.txt; do
  [ -s "$f" ] && echo "$(basename $(dirname $f)): OK"
done
```

## Note
The task description stated the directory "lacks ground-truth corpus," but verification shows a complete corpus already exists. This may indicate the task was created before the corpus was generated and committed.
