jedarden 43d31f8dfc docs(pdftract-dejqs): update verification note with 2026-05-22 test results
Re-verified per-page Resource dictionary inheritance implementation:
- All 33 tests pass (resources + pages)
- Arc sharing optimization confirmed (Arc::ptr_eq test)
- INV-8 maintained (proptests pass)

Acceptance criteria:
-  3-level resource inheritance
-  Per-key override semantics
-  Arc sharing when no merge needed
-  ColorSpace inline arrays preserved
-  Empty root /Resources propagation

# pdftract-dejqs: Per-page Resource Dictionary Inheritance
## Summary
Implemented per-page Resource dictionary inheritance as specified in PDF 1.7 Section 7.7.3.3. The implementation was already complete in `resources.rs` and `pages.rs`; this task verified the implementation and added missing test coverage for Arc sharing.
## Changes Made
1. **Added Arc sharing test** (`test_resource_inheritance_page_without_resources`):
- Modified existing test to verify that when multiple pages have no `/Resources`, they share the same `Arc<ResourceDict>` instance
- Uses `Arc::ptr_eq` to verify pointer equality (memory efficiency)
2. **Added public API exports** in `parser/mod.rs`:
- `pub use resources::{ResourceDict, merge_resources, extract_resources};`
- `pub use pages::{PageDict, flatten_page_tree, DEFAULT_MEDIABOX};`
## Acceptance Criteria Status
| Criterion | Status | Test |
|-----------|--------|------|
| 3-level resource inheritance | ✅ PASS | `test_resource_inheritance_three_level` |
| Per-key override (page's /F1 wins) | ✅ PASS | `test_merge_fonts_last_write_wins` |
| Arc sharing when /Resources missing | ✅ PASS | `test_resource_inheritance_page_without_resources` (new `Arc::ptr_eq` check) |
| ColorSpace inline array preserved | ✅ PASS | `test_merge_colorspace_inline_array` |
| Empty root /Resources propagates | ✅ PASS | `test_resource_inheritance_empty_root` |
| INV-8 maintained (no panics) | ✅ PASS | `proptests::fuzz_*` tests verify no panics on arbitrary input |
## Implementation Details
The `merge_resources` function in `resources.rs` implements per-namespace merging:
- **Font namespace**: IndexMap<Arc<str>, ObjRef> - per-key last-write-wins
- **XObject namespace**: IndexMap<Arc<str>, ObjRef>
- **ExtGState namespace**: IndexMap<Arc<str>, ObjRef>
- **ColorSpace namespace**: IndexMap<Arc<str>, PdfObject> - preserves inline arrays
- **Shading namespace**: IndexMap<Arc<str>, ObjRef>
- **Pattern namespace**: IndexMap<Arc<str>, ObjRef>
- **Properties namespace**: IndexMap<Arc<str>, ObjRef>
- **ProcSet**: Vec<Arc<str>> - deprecated, informational only
The `flatten_page_tree` function in `pages.rs` calls `merge_resources` during traversal:
- Ancestor resources are accumulated in `InheritedAttrs.resources`
- Each leaf page merges its own `/Resources` with inherited resources
- When a page has no `/Resources`, it directly clones the Arc (pointer-sharing, not deep copy)
## Files Modified
- `crates/pdftract-core/src/parser/pages.rs`: Enhanced Arc sharing test
- `crates/pdftract-core/src/parser/mod.rs`: Added public API exports
- `notes/pdftract-dejqs.md`: This verification note
## Test Results (2026-05-22 verification)
All tests pass:
```
cargo test --lib -- parser::resources parser::pages
test result: ok. 33 passed; 0 failed; 0 ignored
```
Breakdown:
- 9 tests in `parser::resources::tests`
- 20 tests in `parser::pages::tests` (excluding 4 proptests)
- 4 proptests for INV-8 compliance (no panics on arbitrary input)
## No Breaking Changes
The implementation was already complete and tested. This task only added:
1. One additional test assertion for Arc sharing
2. Public API exports that were previously internal
