jedarden 2d1554bb1d docs(pdftract-1n8): add Phase 7.1 coordinator completion note
Phase 7.1 StructTree Exploitation coordinator bead complete. All 4 child
task beads closed:
- 7.1.1: StructTree depth-first walker + /RoleMap resolution
- 7.1.2: Element-type to block-kind mapping table
- 7.1.3: ParentTree-based MCID-to-StructElem resolver
- 7.1.4: Coverage check + XY-cut fallback for Suspects pages

Acceptance criteria:
- Word H1/H2 -> heading level 1/2: PASS
- /ActualText on ligatures: PASS
- /Artifact content suppression: PASS
- Suspects -> XY-cut fallback: PASS

pdftract-1n8: Phase 7.1 StructTree Exploitation (Coordinator)

Status: COMPLETE

Summary

Phase 7.1 coordinator bead. All 4 child task beads have been successfully completed:

  • 7.1.1 (pdftract-1x2): StructTree depth-first walker + /RoleMap resolution - CLOSED
  • 7.1.2 (pdftract-2ork): Element-type to block-kind mapping table - CLOSED
  • 7.1.3 (pdftract-57o4): ParentTree-based MCID-to-StructElem resolver - CLOSED
  • 7.1.4 (pdftract-2w3r): Coverage check + XY-cut fallback for Suspects pages - CLOSED

Acceptance Criteria Status

Critical Tests (from plan)

Criterion Status Notes
Word-generated tagged PDF: heading levels correctly extracted (H1/H2 map to level 1/2) PASS Implemented in 7.1.2 block-kind mapping
Tagged PDF with /ActualText on a ligature: ActualText value used, not glyph-decoded text PASS /ActualText handling in 7.1.1 walker
Tagged PDF with /Artifact marked content: artifact glyphs excluded from output PASS /Artifact suppression in 7.1.2 mapping
PDF with Suspects true: falls back to XY-cut, reading_order_algorithm = "xy_cut" PASS Implemented in 7.1.4 coverage check
CI test fixtures: tagged-word.pdf, tagged-latex.pdf, tagged-actualtext-ligature.pdf, tagged-artifact-header.pdf, tagged-suspects-true.pdf PASS All fixtures covered in child beads

Coordinator Criterion

  • All Phase 7.1 child task beads closed: PASS (4/4 closed)

Child Bead Artifacts

7.1.1 (pdftract-1x2)

  • StructTree depth-first walker implemented
  • /RoleMap resolution with chain detection
  • /Lang and /ActualText inheritance
  • Unit tests for Word RoleMap, nested /Lang, /ActualText scope

7.1.2 (pdftract-2ork)

  • StandardType -> BlockKind mapping table
  • /Artifact suppression (both structure type and marked-content tag)
  • Heading-level extraction (H1..H6 -> heading{level})
  • Unknown-type fallback with diagnostics

7.1.3 (pdftract-57o4)

  • ParentTree number-tree walker
  • Per-page MCID -> StructElem map
  • Orphan MCID detection
  • Annotation /StructParent linking

7.1.4 (pdftract-2w3r)

  • Coverage calculation (claimed MCIDs / total MCIDs)
  • Per-page XY-cut fallback for Suspects + low coverage
  • reading_order_algorithm field ("struct_tree" vs "xy_cut")
  • Per-page diagnostic on fallback

Verification

No code changes required for this coordinator bead - all implementation work was done in child beads. This note documents the successful coordination and completion of Phase 7.1.
