jedarden 319f81aaa3 test(bf-21hw8): add bounded predictor tests for PNG and TIFF
Add 4 new tests to verify PNG and TIFF predictor functions use row-by-row
processing with bounded peak memory (2x stride), never pre-allocating full
output buffers inside tests.

- test_png_predictor_budget_enforcement_small_fixture: 200-byte fixture,
  100-byte budget, verifies truncation at row boundary
- test_tiff_predictor_2_budget_enforcement_small_fixture: 160-byte fixture,
  80-byte budget, verifies row-by-row processing for grayscale
- test_png_predictor_multiple_selectors_budget_per_row: 25-byte fixture
  with all PNG selector types, verifies per-row budget checking
- test_tiff_predictor_2_rgb_budget_enforcement: 45-byte RGB fixture,
  verifies multi-byte pixel handling with budget enforcement

All fixtures are under 250 bytes, no full-buffer pre-allocation, tests
mirror the row-by-row discipline from bf-49wmw production fix.

pdftract-core

The core Rust library for PDF text extraction. This crate provides the parsing, layout analysis, font encoding recovery, and text extraction primitives used by the CLI (pdftract-cli) and Python bindings (pdftract-py).

Cargo.lock Policy

This workspace checks in Cargo.lock at the repository root. This is unconventional for library crates—the Cargo Book historically suggested that only binary crates should check in lockfiles, allowing library consumers to resolve their own dependency versions.

pdftract departs from this convention for release reproducibility:

  1. SLSA Level 3 provenance requires that every milestone tag produces byte-identical artifacts across builds. Without a checked-in lockfile, two runs of cargo build on the same commit can resolve different transitive dependency versions, producing different binary hashes.

  2. Multi-output artifacts—this workspace produces Rust crates (pdftract-core, pdftract-cli), Python wheels (pdftract-py), and Docker images. All must be built from the same dependency tree.

  3. Supply-chain security—the lockfile pins checksums for all transitive dependencies, enabling cargo audit to detect yanked or compromised crates.

  4. Downstream consumers can still ignore the lockfile if needed. Cargo allows cargo build --frozen with a local lockfile override, or consumers can vendor the crate with their own dependency resolution.

The tradeoff—occasional merge conflicts when PRs update overlapping dependencies—is worth the guarantee of reproducible releases. See CONTRIBUTING.md for the lockfile-update workflow.

Modules

  • parser: PDF spec parsing (xref, trailer, object streams, indirect references)
  • font: Font encoding recovery, glyph name lookup, fingerprinting
  • layout: Page layout analysis, region segmentation, reading order
  • extract: Text extraction with provenance (bounding boxes, confidence scores)
  • ocr: Tesseract integration for raster pages

Usage

use pdftract_core::{extract_text, ExtractOptions};

let options = ExtractOptions::default();
let result = extract_text("document.pdf", &options)?;
println!("{}", result.text);
