Implements the --audit-log FILE flag on serve, mcp --bind, and inspect subcommands. Emits per-request NDJSON audit lines with ts, client_ip, tool, fingerprint, duration_ms, status, and diagnostics fields. The AuditLogWriter wraps a BufWriter<File> behind a Mutex and flushes after each line for crash safety. Core changes: - Added pdftract-core/src/audit.rs with AuditRecord schema and AuditLogWriter - Added chrono dependency to pdftract-core/Cargo.toml for timestamp generation - Added crates/pdftract-cli/src/middleware/audit.rs with axum middleware - Integrated AuditState into ServeState, McpServerState, and InspectorState - Added --audit-log flag to Serve, Mcp, and InspectArgs CLI structures - Stdio MCP mode: audit goes to stderr (not stdout, which is JSON-RPC) Acceptance criteria: - pdftract serve --audit-log /var/log/pdftract.ndjson → per-request NDJSON lines appear - Each line is single-line valid JSON (no embedded newlines in values) - client_ip captured from X-Real-IP or X-Forwarded-For header - Stdio MCP audit goes to stderr (with --audit-log /dev/stderr or implicitly) - Concurrent requests: writes don't interleave (Mutex ensures atomic line writes) - Crash mid-request: log line either fully present or fully absent (BufWriter flushes after each write) Closes: pdftract-5boxq |

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:
-
SLSA Level 3 provenance requires that every milestone tag produces byte-identical artifacts across builds. Without a checked-in lockfile, two runs of
cargo buildon the same commit can resolve different transitive dependency versions, producing different binary hashes. -
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. -
Supply-chain security—the lockfile pins checksums for all transitive dependencies, enabling
cargo auditto detect yanked or compromised crates. -
Downstream consumers can still ignore the lockfile if needed. Cargo allows
cargo build --frozenwith 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.
