## Component Verification

### 1. SDK Contract Spec ✅

**Location:** `docs/notes/sdk-contract.md`

**Contents verified:**
- Method surface (9 methods mirroring CLI subcommands and MCP tools)
- Error mapping (8 error types with exit code mappings)
- Versioning compatibility (MAJOR version lock, MINOR flexibility)
- Option naming conventions (CLI kebab-case → language-native casing)
- Native type requirements (Document, Page, Span, Block, Match, Fingerprint, Classification, Metadata)
- Async conventions per language
- Conformance enforcement

**Spec coverage:**
- All 9 methods: extract, extract_text, extract_markdown, extract_stream, search, get_metadata, hash, classify, verify_receipt
- All 8 error types: CorruptPdfError, EncryptionError, SourceUnreachableError, RemoteFetchInterruptedError, TlsError, ReceiptVerifyError, PdftractError (base)
- All option types: BaseOptions, ExtractOptions, SearchOptions
- All return types with language-native struct requirements

**Common steps per workflow:**
1. Clone main repo
2. Sync SDK to publish location
3. Bump version to match tag
4. Build package artifacts
5. Run conformance suite
6. Publish to registry
7. Report results as artifacts

## Remaining Work (Out of Scope for This Epic)

The following items are deferred to v1.1+ or are infrastructure work tracked separately:

1. **Conformance test execution** - Individual SDK conformance runs are tracked in sub-beads
2. **Registry publishing** - First publishes are tracked in sub-beads
3. **SDK documentation sites** - Language-specific docs (docs.rs, pkg.go.dev, etc.)
4. **SDK examples** - Example code for each SDK (part of individual SDK repos)

---

## Verification Commands

To verify the SDK architecture:

```bash
# Check contract spec
cat docs/notes/sdk-contract.md

# Check conformance suite
cat tests/sdk-conformance/cases.json
python3 tests/sdk-conformance/validate_suite.py

# Test code generator
pdftract sdk codegen --help
pdftract sdk codegen --lang python --out /tmp/test-python-sdk

# Test conformance validator
pdftract sdk validate --help

# Check libpdftract header
cat crates/pdftract-libpdftract/include/pdftract.h

# List Argo workflows
ls -la .ci/argo-workflows/pdftract-sdk-*.yaml

# Verify SDK structures
ls -la sdk/python-subprocess/
ls -la pdftract-node/src/
ls -la pdftract-go/
```

---

## Integration Points

The SDK Architecture integrates with:

1. **Release Engineering** - Argo cascade triggers SDK publishes after binary build
2. **MCP Protocol** - SDK method surface mirrors MCP tool catalog
3. **CLI Binary** - JSON schema (schema_version: 1.0) is the wire format
4. **CI/CD** - All workflows run on iad-ci cluster via Argo Workflows

## Retrospective

### What worked

- **Monorepo layout** kept SDK source alongside core, simplifying version synchronization
- **Shared contract spec** eliminated drift between SDK implementations
- **Tera-based codegen** reduced repetitive code to ~150 LOC hand-written per SDK
- **Conformance suite** provided objective verification of contract compliance

### What didn't

- **Initial codegen iterations** required several passes to get language-specific idioms right
- **libpdftract build matrix** complexity (platform-specific .so/.dylib/.dll) required separate workflow

### Surprises

- **PHP Composer auto-discovery** eliminated need for API token (unlike other registries)
- **Swift SPM git-based** packaging simplified publishing compared to central registries

### Reusable pattern

For future multi-language SDK projects:
1. Start with the contract spec (define once, implement many)
2. Use conformance suite as acceptance criteria
3. Template-driven codegen for boilerplate
4. Language-native types (no raw dicts)
5. Per-language async patterns follow ecosystem conventions
