# pdftract-25br8: JavaScript/XFA/Conformance Detection

## Summary

This bead's work was already complete at the start of the iteration. The detection module and conformance module were already implemented and committed.

## Implementation Status

### ✅ JavaScript Detection (`detect_javascript`)
- **Location**: `crates/pdftract-core/src/detection.rs:41`
- **Coverage**:
  - Catalog /OpenAction checking
  - Catalog /AA (Additional Actions) checking
  - Page-level /AA dicts checking
  - AcroForm field /AA dicts checking
  - Annotation /A and /AA dicts checking
  - Handles both `/S /JavaScript` and `/S /JS` spellings
- **Tests**: 16 tests in `detection.rs` test module
  - `test_detect_javascript_empty`
  - `test_detect_javascript_with_catalog_openaction_js`
  - `test_detect_javascript_with_catalog_aa_js`
  - `test_detect_javascript_no_javascript`

  - `test_has_js_action_with_s_js`
  - `test_has_js_action_no_js`
  - And more...

### ✅ XFA Detection (`detect_xfa`)
- **Location**: `crates/pdftract-core/src/detection.rs:243`
- **Coverage**: Checks for `/AcroForm /XFA` key presence

  - `test_detect_xfa_with_array`

### ✅ Conformance Detection (`detect_conformance`)
- **Location**: `crates/pdftract-core/src/detection.rs:295`
- **Delegates to**: `crate::conformance::detect_conformance`
- **Implementation**: `crates/pdftract-core/src/conformance.rs`
- **XMP Parser**: Uses `quick-xml::Reader` with namespace-aware parsing
- **Coverage**:
  - PDF/A-1a/b
  - PDF/A-2a/b/u/f
  - PDF/A-3a/b/u/f
  - PDF/A-4e/f
  - Handles arbitrary namespace prefixes (pdfaid, x, foo, etc.)
- **Graceful Failure**: Returns `None` for malformed XML, missing elements
- **Tests**: 15 tests in `conformance.rs` test module
  - `test_detect_conformance_pdf_a_1b` ✅ PASS

### ✅ quick-xml Feature Flag
- **Location**: `crates/pdftract-core/Cargo.toml`
- **Status**: Already in default features
- **Line**: `default = ["serde", "decrypt", "quick-xml"]`
- **Verification**:
  ```bash
  $ cargo tree --features default | grep quick-xml
  │   ├── quick-xml v0.36.2
  │   ├── quick-xml v0.36.2 (*)
  ```

## Key Implementation Details

### INV-8 Compliance
All three detection functions follow INV-8 (no panics):
- `detect_javascript`: Never panics, returns `false` on any resolution error
- `detect_xfa`: Never panics, returns `false` for None/Null/missing
- `detect_conformance`: Never panics, returns `None` for malformed XML

### JavaScript Detection Walk Pattern
The implementation uses a recursive walker pattern:
1. Check catalog /OpenAction for /S /JavaScript or /S /JS
2. Check catalog /AA for any action with /S /JavaScript
3. For each page: check /AA, then walk annotations for /A and /AA
4. For AcroForm: walk /Fields array recursively, check each field's /AA

This covers all 5 locations specified in the bead description.

### XMP Namespace Handling
The conformance detection handles arbitrary namespace prefixes:
```rust
let local_name = name.split(|&b| b == b':').last().unwrap_or(&name);
if local_name == b"part" || local_name == b"conformance" {
    current_tag = Some(name);
}
```

This means `pdfaid:part`, `x:part`, `foo:part` all work correctly.

### Stream Decoding for Metadata
The `detect_conformance_from_ref` function (not required but present) shows the pattern for decoding the /Metadata stream:
1. Resolve the indirect reference
2. Extract the stream object
3. Decode with `StreamDecoder` (Phase 1.5)
4. Parse the decoded bytes with quick-xml

## Files Involved

- `crates/pdftract-core/src/detection.rs` - Main detection functions
- `crates/pdftract-core/src/conformance.rs` - XMP parsing with quick-xml
- `crates/pdftract-core/Cargo.toml` - Feature flags (quick-xml already in default)
- `crates/pdftract-core/src/lib.rs` - Public API exports

## Conclusion

All acceptance criteria PASS. The implementation was complete at the start of this iteration.
