# BF-24GV1: Fixture Discovery Implementation

## Overview

Implemented comprehensive test fixture discovery mechanism for PDF fixtures that need CLI processing. The system provides a testable, accessible API for enumerating all PDF fixtures across the entire test suite.

## What Was Implemented

### New File: `crates/pdftract-cli/tests/fixture_discovery.rs`

Created a new test module with the following capabilities:

#### Core Discovery Functions

1. **`discover_all_fixtures()`** - Discovers all 1,301 PDF fixtures recursively
   - Returns: `Vec<PathBuf>` (sorted, absolute paths)
   - Coverage: All fixtures in `tests/fixtures/` tree

2. **`discover_fixtures_by_category(category)`** - Category-specific discovery
   - Categories: cjk, classifier, encoding, encrypted, grep-corpus, json_schema, malformed, ocr, page_class, perf, profiles, scanned, security, vector
   - Returns: `Vec<PathBuf>` for specified category

3. **`discover_fixtures_flat(dir_path)`** - Non-recursive discovery
   - Use for single-level directories
   - Returns: `Vec<PathBuf>` (sorted)

4. **`fixture_categories()`** - Lists all fixture categories
   - Returns: `Vec<String>` of category names
   - Only includes categories that actually contain PDFs

5. **`fixture_statistics()`** - Comprehensive statistics
   - Returns: `FixtureStats` struct with:
     - `total_count`: Total number of fixtures
     - `category_count`: Number of categories
     - `category_counts`: HashMap with per-category counts

#### Test Coverage

9 comprehensive tests covering:
- ✅ Fixtures root directory existence
- ✅ All fixture discovery (1,301 fixtures)
- ✅ Category-based discovery
- ✅ Fixture categories enumeration (14 categories)
- ✅ Fixture statistics generation
- ✅ Flat vs recursive discovery
- ✅ Nonexistent category handling
- ✅ Absolute path verification
- ✅ Sorting verification

## Fixture Distribution

```
Total fixtures: 1,301
Categories: 14

Distribution by category:
- grep-corpus: 1,000 (largest)
- classifier: 200
- profiles: 20
- scanned: 16
- malformed: 15
- vector: 10
- json_schema: 6
- encoding: 6
- encrypted: 5
- security: 4
- page_class: 4
- cjk: 4
- ocr: 2
- perf: 2
```

## Acceptance Criteria Status

| Criterion | Status | Evidence |
|-----------|--------|----------|
| All fixture paths are discovered | ✅ PASS | Discovers all 1,301 PDF fixtures across 14 categories |
| Fixtures are enumerated in test-accessible format | ✅ PASS | Returns `Vec<PathBuf>` (sorted, absolute paths) ready for CLI invocation |
| Discovery mechanism is testable | ✅ PASS | 9 tests covering all functionality, all passing |

## Technical Details

### Dependencies
- Uses `walkdir` crate for recursive filesystem traversal
- Follows existing pattern from `forms_integration.rs`
- Zero new dependencies (uses existing walkdir)

### Design Decisions
1. **Absolute paths only** - Ensures reliable CLI invocation regardless of CWD
2. **Sorted output** - Provides deterministic ordering for tests
3. **Graceful handling** - Non-existent directories return empty Vec, no panics
4. **Comprehensive stats** - Provides visibility into fixture distribution

### Integration Points
- **Parent bead**: `bf-5qvoc` (Add pdftract extract CLI invocation to integration tests)
- **Uses pattern from**: `forms_integration.rs` `discover_pdf_fixtures()` function
- **Ready for**: CLI invocation on each fixture via `pdftract extract --json <path>`

## Verification

### Manual Testing
```bash
# Run all fixture discovery tests
cargo test --test fixture_discovery

# Specific tests with output
cargo test --test fixture_discovery test_discover_all_fixtures -- --nocapture
cargo test --test fixture_discovery test_fixture_categories -- --nocapture
cargo test --test fixture_discovery test_fixture_statistics -- --nocapture
```

### Output Verification
- All 9 tests pass
- Correctly discovers 1,301 fixtures
- Correctly identifies 14 categories
- Statistics match actual fixture distribution

## Next Steps (Parent Bead: bf-5qvoc)

The fixture discovery system is now ready for use by the parent bead `bf-5qvoc` to:
1. Iterate through all discovered fixtures
2. Invoke `pdftract extract --json` on each fixture
3. Capture and validate CLI output
4. Ensure each fixture processes successfully
