When fire-pdf sends pre-segmented bboxes from the layout model,
pdf-inspector no longer runs column detection, stream-order heuristics,
or newspaper/tabular mode detection within the region. These heuristics
conflict with the layout model's decisions and cause wrong reading order.
Region extraction now simply: Y-sorts items, groups into lines, and
sorts within each line by X position. The heavy heuristics remain
available for standalone full-page extraction.
Eval showed pure OCR (0.2875 NED) beating native+heuristics (0.2916)
across all categories, especially multi-column (-0.08) and newspaper
(-0.16). This change should close that gap.

Move the napi bridge from fire-pdf into pdf-inspector as `napi/`.
Package name: @firecrawl/pdf-inspector-js, published to GitHub Packages
(npm.pkg.github.com) as a public package on v* tags.
Exposes two functions:
- classifyPdf(buffer) → type, page count, pages needing OCR
- extractTextInRegions(buffer, pageRegions) → per-region text with
needsOcr quality flag (GID fonts, garbage, encoding issues)
Includes publish workflow that builds linux-x64-gnu + darwin-arm64
binaries and publishes main + platform-specific packages.
