jedarden 6ffeccc26e feat(pdftract-67p2c): implement confidence heatmap layer renderer

Add render_confidence_heatmap() function that creates per-glyph
translucent colored cells representing extraction confidence.

Color coding:
- Red (#ef4444): confidence < 0.5 (low)
- Yellow (#eab308): 0.5 <= confidence < 0.8 (medium)
- Green (#22c55e): confidence >= 0.8 (high)
- Gray (#94a3b8): no confidence value (direct extraction)

Each cell includes data-* attributes (data-char, data-confidence,
data-span-index) for tooltip consumption by the frontend inspector
(Phase 7.9.6).

Implementation approximates per-glyph positions using span bbox
and character count, since the JSON schema only has span-level
confidence.

All unit tests pass. CSS class "heatmap-cell" enables frontend
toggling (Phase 7.9.3).

pdftract-67p2c: Inspector layer renderer - render_confidence_heatmap

Summary

Implemented the confidence heatmap layer renderer for the inspector debug viewer. This layer displays per-glyph translucent colored cells representing extraction confidence.

Implementation

File created

crates/pdftract-cli/src/inspect/render/confidence_heatmap.rs

Function signature

pub fn render_confidence_heatmap(spans: &[SpanJson]) -> Vec<String>

Color coding

Red (#ef4444): confidence < 0.5 (low)
Yellow (#eab308): 0.5 <= confidence < 0.8 (medium)
Green (#22c55e): confidence >= 0.8 (high)
Gray (#94a3b8): no confidence value (direct extraction)

Data attributes

Each SVG rect includes:

data-char: the character
data-confidence: confidence score or empty string
data-span-index: the parent span's index

CSS class

class="heatmap-cell" - for frontend CSS toggling (Phase 7.9.3)
fill-opacity="0.3" - translucent cells for visual layering

Design decisions

Per-glyph approximation

Since the JSON schema only has span-level confidence (not per-glyph), the implementation approximates per-glyph positions by:

Dividing the span bbox width by the number of characters
Using font size for glyph height
Vertically centering glyphs within the span bbox

This provides a reasonable visual approximation while working with the available data. If true glyph-level confidence becomes available in the future, this function can be updated to use it.

Helper functions

confidence_to_color(): Maps confidence scores to CSS hex colors
escape_xml_attr(): Escapes special XML characters for attribute values

These match the pattern from the existing spans.rs renderer for consistency.

Tests

All unit tests pass:

test_confidence_to_color - verifies color mapping
test_escape_xml_attr - verifies XML escaping
test_render_confidence_heatmap_empty - handles empty input
test_render_confidence_heatmap_single_span - 3 characters rendered
test_render_confidence_heatmap_low_confidence - red color for low confidence
test_render_confidence_heatmap_no_confidence - gray color for no confidence

Acceptance criteria

✅ Helper compiles and produces valid SVG output
✅ Layer is independently toggleable via CSS class (heatmap-cell)
✅ data-* attrs populated for downstream UI consumption
⚠️ Renders correctly in headless browser (pixel-match against fixture) - pending fixture creation
✅ Performance: Implementation is O(n) in number of characters; efficient string building
