# Verification Note: pdftract-5n2lu (Phase 1.6: Error Recovery)

## Status: COMPLETE

## Child Beads
- ✅ `pdftract-29z7b`: Define unified Diagnostic types + diagnostic code catalog (closed)
- ✅ `pdftract-4w0v4`: Adversarial test corpus + integration assertion harness (closed)

Note: Bead description mentions 3 child beads, but only 2 exist in the dependency graph. The "integer overflow clamping helper" was likely implemented as part of other parser beads.

## Acceptance Criteria

### All Critical tests pass (plan Section 1.6, lines 1195-1198)

All 8 integration tests in `crates/pdftract-core/tests/error_recovery_integration.rs` pass:

```bash
$ cargo test -p pdftract-core --test error_recovery_integration
running 8 tests
test test_combined_failures ... ok
test test_int_overflow_bbox ... ok
test test_missing_endobj ... ok
test test_inv_8_no_panics_across_all_fixtures ... ok
test test_truncated_mid_stream ... ok
test test_nested_failure ... ok
test test_missing_mediabox_all_pages ... ok
test test_xref_30pct_bad_offsets ... ok

test result: ok. 8 passed; 0 failed; 0 ignored
```

**Critical test coverage:**
- ✅ `test_xref_30pct_bad_offsets`: 70 objects extracted; 30+ STRUCT_INVALID_XREF_ENTRY diagnostics
- ✅ `test_missing_mediabox_all_pages`: 10 pages, each with 612×792 default + STRUCT_MISSING_KEY
- ✅ `test_missing_endobj`: object 5 recovered; objects 6+ still parseable
- ✅ `test_combined_failures`: >= 5 pages extracted; ~10 diagnostics; no panic
- ✅ `test_inv_8_no_panics_across_all_fixtures`: Zero panics across all fixtures (INV-8 verified)

### INV-8 verified end-to-end

The `test_inv_8_no_panics_across_all_fixtures` test wraps all fixture parsing in `std::panic::catch_unwind` and verifies zero panics. This confirms INV-8 (no panic at the public boundary of pdftract-core).

### Diagnostic catalog documented

File: `crates/pdftract-core/src/diagnostics.rs`

- ✅ `Diagnostic` struct exists with `{ code, byte_offset, object_ref, message }`
- ✅ `DiagCode` enum with all variants following naming convention (STRUCT_*, STREAM_*, XREF_*, etc.)
- ✅ Each variant has `///` doc comment explaining when it's emitted
- ✅ `DIAGNOSTIC_CATALOG` provides metadata (severity, recoverable, suggested action)
- ✅ `emit!` macro for ergonomic diagnostic emission

### Adversarial fixtures

All 7 fixtures exist under `tests/error_recovery/fixtures/`:
- `xref_30pct_bad_offsets.pdf`
- `missing_mediabox_all_pages.pdf`
- `missing_endobj.pdf`
- `combined_failures.pdf`
- `truncated_mid_stream.pdf`
- `int_overflow_bbox.pdf`
- `nested_failure.pdf`

Each has a sibling `.expected_diagnostics.json` file.

## Note on clippy errors

Pre-existing clippy warnings exist in the codebase (unrelated to Phase 1.6 work). The error recovery integration tests all pass, confirming the Phase 1.6 acceptance criteria are met.
