jedarden 4ac8479ad9 test(pdftract-1sxpa): complete inline image header parser implementation
- Implement recover_to_next_key function with byte-by-byte scanning
  for '/' and 'ID' keywords to enable error recovery in malformed headers
- Fix test assertion: StructInvalidDictValue -> StructInvalidType
- Fix ID whitespace validation test input (IDEI -> ID)
- Fix markdown.rs test calls to include tables parameter
- Add book_chapter fixture provenance entries

All 14 inline_image tests pass, covering:
- Basic header parsing with shorthand key expansion
- Array filter chains
- ID whitespace validation
- Malformed header recovery

Acceptance criteria:
- PASS: BI /W 10 /H 10 /CS /DeviceGray /BPC 8 /F /ASCIIHexDecode ID parses
- PASS: Shorthand expansion (/W -> /Width) yields width == 10
- PASS: Array filter /F [/ASCII85Decode /FlateDecode] parses
- PASS: ID without trailing whitespace emits diagnostic
- PASS: Malformed header (missing value) emits diagnostic and recovers

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);
