jedarden a88353069a fix(pdftract-5upi): add parse_obj_header_at_memory for xref forward scan
The structural token lexer was already fully implemented. All 84 lexer
tests pass, covering all acceptance criteria:

- Array/dict delimiters ([], <<>>)
- Keywords (true, false, null, obj, endobj, stream, endstream, R)
- Hex string vs dict ambiguity (< vs <<)
- Stream header validation (\n or \r\n only, lone \r is invalid)
- Case-sensitive keyword matching

This commit fixes a pre-existing compilation error in xref.rs where
forward_scan_memory() called parse_obj_header_at_memory() which didn't
exist. Added the missing function as a byte-slice variant of
parse_obj_header_at() for efficient memory-based scanning.

# pdftract-5upi: Structural Token Lexer
## Summary
The structural token lexer was already fully implemented. This verification confirms that all acceptance criteria tests pass. The only change made was fixing a pre-existing compilation error in `xref.rs` by adding the missing `parse_obj_header_at_memory` function.
## Acceptance Criteria Status
### All Critical Tests PASS
1. **Array delimiters** (`[1 2 3]`): `array_delimiters` test PASSED
- ArrayStart, Integer(1), Integer(2), Integer(3), ArrayEnd, Eof
2. **Dict delimiters** (`<< /A 1 >>`): `dict_delimiters` test PASSED
- DictStart, Name(b"A"), Integer(1), DictEnd, Eof
3. **Hex string not dict** (`<48>`): `hex_string_odd_length_single_nibble` test PASSED
- String(b"\x48"), Eof — correctly dispatches `<` followed by non-`<` to hex lexer
4. **Dict start, hex string, dict end** (`<<<48>>>`): `hex_string_dict_start_hex_string_dict_end` test PASSED
- DictStart, String(b"\x48"), DictEnd
5. **Boolean and null keywords** (`true false null`): `bool_literals` and `null_keyword` tests PASSED
- Bool(true), Bool(false), Null, Eof
6. **Object keywords** (`12 0 obj null endobj`): `obj_keywords` test PASSED
- Integer(12), Integer(0), Obj, Null, EndObj, Eof
7. **Indirect reference** (`5 0 R`): `indirect_ref_keyword` test PASSED
- Integer(5), Integer(0), IndirectRef, Eof
8. **Stream keywords** (`stream\n...endstream`): `stream_keywords` and `stream_header_valid_line_endings` tests PASSED
- Token::Stream, then Token::EndStream
9. **Invalid stream header** (`stream\rxxx`): `stream_header_lone_cr_emits_diagnostic` test PASSED
- Token::Stream + `STRUCT_INVALID_STREAM_HEADER` diagnostic (lone `\r` is invalid)
10. **Case-mismatched keyword** (`True`): `bool_case_sensitive` test PASSED
- Token::Keyword(b"True"), Eof (object parser will reject)
### Proptests PASS
- `proptest_hex_string_never_panics_on_random_bytes`: PASSED
- `proptest_hex_string_roundtrip_via_reencode`: PASSED
- `proptest_string_never_panics_on_random_bytes`: PASSED
- `proptest_valid_string_roundtrips`: PASSED
- `name_proptest_never_panics_on_random_bytes`: PASSED
- `name_proptest_always_produces_valid_token`: PASSED
## Implementation Details
The structural token lexer dispatches from `next_token()` as follows:
- `[` / `]` → ArrayStart / ArrayEnd (direct return)
- `<` → peek next byte: if `<`, return DictStart (advance 2); else hex string lexer
- `>` → peek next byte: if `>`, return DictEnd (advance 2); else emit STRUCT_UNEXPECTED_BYTE
- `t` → check for "true" (Bool(true)) or "trailer" (Keyword), else lex_keyword
- `f` → check for "false" (Bool(false)), else lex_keyword
- `n` → check for "null" (Null), else lex_name
- `o` → check for "obj" (Obj), else lex_name
- `e` → check for "endstream" (EndStream) or "endobj" (EndObj), else lex_name
- `s` → check for "stream" (Stream with line ending validation) or "startxref" (Keyword)
- `R` → IndirectRef
- `x` → check for "xref" (Keyword)
- `%` → check for "%%EOF" (Keyword) or skip comment
### Stream Header Validation
Per PDF spec 7.3.8.1, the `stream` keyword must be followed by `\n` or `\r\n`. A lone `\r` is INVALID:
```rust
// In lex_s_keyword():
if let Some(&b'\n') = self.bytes.first() {
self.advance(1); // \n is valid
} else if let Some(&b'\r') = self.bytes.first() {
self.advance(1);
if let Some(&b'\n') = self.bytes.first() {
self.advance(1); // \r\n is valid
} else {
// Lone \r - emit STRUCT_INVALID_STREAM_HEADER
}
}
```
## Changes Made
Fixed a pre-existing compilation error in `xref.rs` by adding the missing `parse_obj_header_at_memory` function. This function is a variant of `parse_obj_header_at` that works directly with a byte slice instead of a `PdfSource`, used by the `forward_scan_memory` function for efficient scanning of small files.
File: `crates/pdftract-core/src/parser/xref.rs`
- Added `parse_obj_header_at_memory` function (lines 1120-1189)
## INV-8 Status
INV-8 (lexer never panics on invalid input) is maintained:
- All proptests use random byte sequences and verify no panics
- Every lexer branch handles EOF gracefully
- Unknown keywords emit Token::Keyword instead of panicking
