* emit ItemType::Image bboxes for Image XObjects (was: silently dropped)
Background. ItemType::Image, MarkdownOptions::include_images, and the
markdown emitter's image-collection path have all been in the tree
for a while, but no producer ever populated them — content_stream.rs
explicitly `// Skip images — text extraction only` at the Do
operator, and the nested Form-XObject walker in xobjects.rs only
matched XObjectType::Form, silently dropping Image entries. The
declared types were dead code.
This PR lights them up. At every Do that resolves to an Image
XObject (both top-level and nested inside Form XObjects), we now
compute the page-space bbox from the current CTM via a new
`image_bbox_from_ctm` helper — handling both axis-aligned and
rotated/sheared placements via 4-corner AABB — and emit a TextItem
with `item_type: ItemType::Image` and the legacy `[Image: <name>]`
text payload that the markdown emitter already knows how to render.
Callers can now find raster figures via `extract_text_with_positions`
(and the `_mem` variant, newly re-exported at the crate root) without
needing to re-parse the PDF or run a vision/layout model. The intended
consumer is layout-aware text pipelines that want to crop figures and
caption them out-of-band.
Two backstops to avoid silent breakage for existing callers:
1. `MarkdownOptions::include_images` default flipped `true → false`.
If it stayed at `true`, every existing user of
`extract_pages_markdown` would suddenly see ``
placeholders inserted throughout their output the moment they
upgraded. Image data is still available structurally via
`extract_text_with_positions`; rendering it into markdown is now
an opt-in. New regression test asserts `extract_pages_markdown`
output is unchanged for the image-bearing fixture.
2. Image items now also skip the layout heuristics
(`detect_columns`, `detect_tables_from_rects`) via a new
`is_text_layout_item` predicate. Without this filter, an image's
left edge would land in the column-projection profile and skew
table column detection — surfaced by
`vector_grid_tests::upstage_key_functions_four_cols` going from 4
detected columns to 5 in CI before the filter was added.
Re-exporting `extract_text_with_positions_mem` at the crate root —
strictly additive; mirrors how `extract_pages_markdown_mem` is already
available there.
Tests:
- test_extract_text_with_positions_emits_image_bboxes — minimal PDF
with one 200×100 image at (50, 600); asserts one Image item with
correct bbox + page + text.
- test_image_xobject_bbox_handles_rotated_ctm — 90° rotated image
via shear-component CTM; asserts AABB is correct (handles non-
axis-aligned placements via 4-corner clamp).
- test_image_emission_does_not_change_default_markdown — asserts no
`Image:` token leaks into default markdown output, regression
guard for the include_images flip.
- test_markdown_options_default_has_include_images_false — explicit
sentinel so anyone flipping it back catches it in CI.
* Bump version from 1.8.15 to 1.9.0
text_cluster_column_undercount previously fired only on tables with
6+ markdown columns. That missed a common production failure shape:
4-column page geometry where the heuristic detector's x-position
clustering collapses 2 narrow numeric columns (dates, IDs, amounts)
into adjacent wider columns, producing 2-column markdown.
The original 6-column floor existed because raw x-cluster count is
noisy on small tables — wrapped continuations, bullet indents, and
within-cell text variation produce many small x-clusters that don't
correspond to real columns. Examples:
- Pcmso-style 2-column key/value layout with multi-line values
shows 10 raw x-clusters but only 1 has more than a single item.
- Yale-style archival catalog with 3 columns shows 6 raw
x-clusters but most clusters are single-item continuations.
Replace the raw cluster count with a "significant cluster" count:
clusters whose item count is at least 1/4 of the dominant cluster
(and ≥2 items). That filters the within-cell-variation noise while
preserving signal from real columns, which consistently have one
item per row.
With significant-cluster counting:
- Narrow-undercount fires when significant_clusters >= 3 AND
significant_clusters >= table_cols * 2 (catches 4-col-collapsed-
to-2 cases without misfiring on pcmso 10-clusters or yale 6
where the significant subset matches markdown).
- Legacy wide-undercount path (table_cols >= 6) keeps the same
+2 / 1.2x thresholds, now applied to significant clusters
instead of raw clusters.
Verified against representative regression and must-not-regress
cases from prior PR cycles: narrow-undercount catches genuine
column-drop cases (significant=4, markdown=2 → routes to OCR);
must-not-regress fixtures (italian-gov 6520 chars, pcmso 1733
chars, yale 1754 chars, doc200/182/189 still routing to OCR via
PR #91 guards) unchanged.

Some PDFs have fonts whose ToUnicode CMap is missing or broken —
Identity-H fonts without unicode metadata, Type-3 fonts where every
glyph maps to garbage. The page extractor returns punctuation-only
fragments or single-glyph repeats; the rendered image still carries
the visible text, so the region should fall back to OCR rather than
serve a partial table.
The existing captured_only_a_fragment guard can't catch this case
because region_text_chars itself collapses under font-decode failure —
captured vs extracted is symmetrically low, and the ratio still looks
acceptable.
Add a complementary area-based density guard: when a region has lots
of pixel real estate but very few text chars, the page extractor
hit a font failure. Bbox area is independent of extraction success,
so the symmetry breaks.
Threshold 0.003 chars/sq pt sits between observed clean extractions
(≥0.005 on full-page A4 ledgers, key/value layouts, archival
catalogs) and observed font-decode failures (≤0.0014 on prod-traffic
samples). Three guards keep it from misfiring:
- text_chars < 20 skipped: synthetic / fragmentary fixtures
- area < 30,000 sq pt skipped: tiny stat blocks
- area > 400,000 sq pt skipped: near-whole-A4 bboxes where
density is unreliable (large white-space margins)
Verified against three reproducible cases from prod shadow logs
that previously served partial output:
- Cyrillic page with punctuation-only decode (46 chars, density
0.00045) → flagged, routes to OCR
- Cyrillic page where every glyph collapsed to one letter (89
chars, density 0.00025) → flagged, routes to OCR
- Materials-test region where text extracted fine but the table
body extends beyond the bbox (96 chars, density 0.00131)
→ flagged, routes to OCR
Existing fixtures (full-page A4 ledger, multi-row key/value with
paragraph values, archival catalog, bits_pilani whole-page tests,
synthetic line-grid test) all retain identical behavior.

After enabling the vector-grid detectors on the extract path (#85)
and broadening detection to full-page grids (#83), long-cell tables
(#84), and segment-only layouts (#86), one residual failure shape
remained: detectors finding a valid grid but only capturing a small
fraction of the region's actual text. Two recurring sub-shapes:
- "header-only": detector captured the column-header band (often a
multi-line year/units block) but missed every data row below.
Common in financial statements, securities tables, budget
appendices.
- "sparse": detector returned a handful of fragmentary cells from a
content-rich region, missing the bulk of the page.
Both pass the existing needs_ocr quality gates — the captured cells
are well-formed markdown — but the customer would receive a 5-row
fragment of a 50-row table. Today these regions fell back to GLM-OCR
by default; flipping `__nativeTableExtraction=true` would start
serving the partials.
Add `captured_only_a_fragment(md, region_text_chars)`: rejects when
the captured non-delimiter character count is less than 25% of the
text the page extractor saw inside the region. The 200-char region
floor keeps short legitimate tables (units, axis labels) from being
mis-flagged. Wired into the existing `evaluate` quality gate
alongside is_garbage_text / is_cid_garbage / detect_encoding_issues
/ looks_like_partial_table_ex.
Verified against three representative residual cases from shadow
logs (financial-statement header band, securities-table fragment,
ESIA sparse region): all flip from `needs_ocr=false` with partial
output to `needs_ocr=true` so GLM takes over. Existing full-table
fixtures (governmental ledger, PPRA-style key/value, archival
catalog) still pass through unchanged.

Some catalog and archival-finding-aid tables draw each row's
horizontal rule as N segments (one segment per cell) with no vertical
lines at all. The previous detector rejected these outright at
`verticals.len() < 2`, even though the segment break points encoded
the column boundaries unambiguously.
When the vertical-line count is below the existing threshold, walk
the horizontal-segment x-endpoints and cluster them with the same
snap_edges path used for vertical-line columns. Accept the derived
edges only when ≥3 distinct x-positions each appear on ≥50% of the
unique horizontal-line rows — that consistency guard distinguishes
real per-cell segments from decorative rules with varying widths
(which never share endpoints across many rows).
When columns come from segment endpoints, skip the downstream
"spanning_v / partial_v" gate (there are no vertical lines to
validate against). All other gates — horizontal-span coverage,
content density, capture ratio, multi-column distribution, the
uniform-spacing chart-grid rejector — still apply.
Verified on a 7-row × 3-col archival catalog page that previously
extracted 98 chars (a 2-row fragment via the heuristic fallback); now
extracts 1754 chars with all rows + multi-line cells.

* extract_tables: try vector-grid detectors before text heuristic
extract_tables_in_regions_mem previously ran only the text-only
heuristic detector (tables::detect_tables) on the items inside each
region, discarding the rects and lines that extract_page_text_items
returned. That left the rect-backed and line-backed detectors
(detect_tables_from_rects, detect_tables_from_lines) unused by the
public region-scoped extraction path — they only ran through
detect_vector_grid_in_region_mem, which most callers don't use.
Keep the rects and lines, filter them to each region, and try in
order: rect detector → line detector → heuristic. Each candidate's
markdown is quality-gated by the existing needs_ocr checks
(is_garbage_text, is_cid_garbage, detect_encoding_issues,
looks_like_partial_table_ex); only the first clean output wins.
If all three produce empty or noisy output we still return
needs_ocr=true, matching prior behavior.
Effect on real prod-shape inputs from shadow logs:
Full-page ruled ledger, 6 cols x ~15 rows:
before: heuristic emits a 355-char two-row fragment
after: line detector emits the full 6520-char table
Multi-row key/value layout with paragraph values:
before: heuristic emits a 188-char header-only fragment
after: rect detector emits the full 1733-char table including
the multi-bullet description cell
Existing fixtures that already passed via the heuristic continue to
pass: the quality gate rejects partial vector-grid output and falls
through, so the heuristic still wins where it produced the cleaner
result.

Three rejection sites in detect_rects.rs killed any candidate grid
where a single cell exceeded 500 chars:
- detect_row_stripe_table (line 1399)
- detect_row_stripe_table_from_cell_rects (line 1729)
- detect_merged_cluster_table (line 2154)
The intent was to skip layout-background rects — sidebars, banners,
section bands — where one big rectangle wraps a paragraph of prose.
Those almost always present as ≤3 row stripes (header / body / footer
or single big block).
Multi-row key/value tables with paragraph-length values in one column
present the same cell-length signal but are legitimate tables.
Gating the rejection on `non_empty_rows < 4` preserves the
layout-background guard for narrow stripe layouts while letting
through multi-row tables with descriptive content.
Verified against a 9-row × 2-column key/value layout where the value
column has multi-line content (~1.4KB in the longest cell). Before:
rejected with `max cell length 1384 > 500`. After: accepted with 89%
density. The existing `test_row_stripe_rejects_layout_background_long_cells`
regression test for narrow stripe layouts still passes.

The page-spanning-frame guard rejected any line set whose bounding box
exceeded ~90% of a standard A4/Letter page in both axes. The intent was
to skip decorative outer borders, but it also threw away every real
full-page table — common in governmental ledgers, financial filings,
and dense report layouts.
Decorative borders have just 4 edges (top/bottom/left/right). Real
full-page tables have many internal row and column rules. Gate the
rejection on `horizontals.len() <= 4 && verticals.len() <= 4` so the
guard still catches bare frames but lets through line sets with real
internal grid structure.
Tested against a regione.lazio.it Estrazione-provvedimenti page (full
A4-width table, 14 rows × 6 cols): now ACCEPTED with 211/211 items
captured. Bare-frame regression test added.

When a wire-bordered table has headers centered/right-aligned in their
cells but data left-aligned, cluster_x_positions can both merge adjacent
data columns (when the data-to-data gap is below the clamped threshold)
and drop the header-only x-positions in its singleton-filter pass. The
cell-rect fallback then used text-cluster column edges and lost a column
or fragmented neighbor cells.
Prefer rect-derived column edges when the rect grid has 3+ columns and
every rect column holds multiple text items. The all-cols-populated
check protects against decorative or background rects (prose laid out
in a frame, cell-fill rects with extra borders) that would otherwise
split a logical column into spurious sub-columns. The existing
prose-in-frame, well-distributed-columns, and wireless-prose guards
still fire for the cases they were built for.
Bump napi version 1.8.7 → 1.8.8.

* tables: lift detection on shaded-header + alt-row tables (#wired-grids)
Production telemetry on `wired_high_confidence`-classified table regions
showed `detect_vector_grid_in_region_mem` returning a usable grid only
~27% of the time, with the rest falling through to GLM-OCR. Three
surgical fixes target the dominant production shapes:
* Path-fill cell backgrounds: when the page has no `re` rects but draws
cell backgrounds via `m`/`l`/`h`/`f*` sequences, prefer the fill-derived
rects over the few section-level `W*` clip paths that previously won
the priority gate. Activated when fill rects outnumber clip rects ≥3×.
* Dedup-induced cluster splits: page-background rects could pose as
containers in the sub-rect dedup and evict a slightly smaller
table-frame rect, breaking adjacency between column-cell groups so each
column became its own cluster. Origin-anchored containers are now
disqualified from sub-rect dedup. A separate exact-duplicate pass
collapses the cell-padding/text-bg/cell-border triple emissions some
PDFs produce, preserving original order to avoid reshuffling table
output on multi-table pages.
* Prose-words rejection: the `cell-rect` fallback's whole-grid prose
threshold also rejected real tables that include a description column.
Now relaxed when content is well-distributed (≥75% of cols filled),
while keeping the original strictness for prose-in-a-frame layouts.
Two regression fixtures from the opendataloader-bench corpus, covering
the dominant production failure categories:
* `greencomp_competence.pdf` — 2-col shaded-header + plain-body glossary.
Mirrors production crops #1 (Contractions glossary) and #6 (BIO 350
course header).
* `upstage_key_functions.pdf` — 4-col shaded-header + alt-row backgrounds
+ merged left column. Mirrors production crops #2 (Parameter/Value
alt-row), #7 (Spanish XML schema), and #8 (Córdoba multi-row header).
Existing fixtures stay green (doc 51 wrapped-label, doc 128 forecast
six-cols, td9264 snapshot). 133 unit + integration tests pass; clippy
clean.
Bumps napi/package.json 1.8.4 → 1.8.5.

* tables: tighten prose-in-frame rejection — fixes pdf-evals #30 regression
PR #76's shaded-header detection lift surfaced a regression on
accessory_building_permit_application_1 (TEDS 0.10 → 0.05): a
paragraph of legal text laid out in a 2-column justified block was
being admitted as a 10×2 fake table where every cell holds a
sentence fragment ("I agree to comply...", "I", "It is the property
owner's responsibility..."). Per pdf-evals PR #30 review, this is
the kind of regression production users will notice — the markdown
is structurally and semantically misleading.
Root cause: PR #76's prose-rejection only fires for `num_cols >= 4`,
so the 2-col prose-in-a-frame case slipped past it entirely. The new
fill-priority + dedup changes started producing rects for this layout
that 1.8.4 correctly ignored.
Fix: tighten the prose-in-frame check.
- Lower the column-count guard from `>= 4` to `>= 2`.
- Add a content-length signal as the primary discriminator: when the
prose-words trigger fires AND mean non-empty cell length exceeds
65 chars, reject regardless of column distribution.
The 65-char threshold cleanly separates observed cases:
accessory_building (prose-in-frame): mean 74 chars → REJECT
upstage_key_functions (real 4-col table): mean 53 → admit
greencomp_competence (real 2-col glossary): mean 20 → admit
accessory_building (real 5×3 form data): mean 10 → admit
The well-distributed-cols relaxation that PR #76 added stays —
"label / value / description / benefit" tables (#7, #8 from the
production crops) still pass, but only when their mean cell length
stays below the prose threshold.
New regression test `accessory_building_rejects_prose_in_frame` asserts
both that the real 5×3 form data table survives AND the 10×2 prose
block is rejected. Snapshot test `test_snapshot_td9264` updated to
match new output — old snapshot captured the same prose-in-frame bug
on regulatory text (paragraphs emitted as 3-col `||text||` fake-table
rows). New snapshot emits clean prose paragraphs, which is correct.
Verification:
- cargo test --all: 424 lib + 133 integration + 2 doc tests pass
- cargo fmt --check clean
- cargo clippy -- -D warnings clean (lib-level; pre-existing
test-level clippy issues on the wired-grids branch unaffected)
- Existing fixtures stay green: forecast_table_chart_six_cols (PR
#72), bits_pilani_* (PR #73), greencomp_competence_two_cols and
upstage_key_functions_four_cols (PR #76).
This branch is based on abimaelmartell/wired-grids so it includes
PR #76's commits plus this fix on top. Suggest merging this and
closing #76, OR rebasing #76 to incorporate this fix.

* tables: drop early-dedup atom — caused broad TOC + matrix corruption
Bisected PR #76's 4 atoms against the SEC 10-K
0001104659-25-093871_183e44ac.pdf which appeared as a TEDS regression
in pdf-evals PR #30. Result:

---------------------------|-----|------------|---------------
fill-priority | ✓ | ✓ | ✓
early-dedup | ✗ | ✗ | ✗
page-bg disqualification | ✓ | ✓ | ✓

Early-dedup was the SOLE source of all three regressions on this doc.
Tried a more conservative variant (≥3 copies only — pair-duplicates
appear in legit multi-section layouts like 10-K dividers above + below
section headers); didn't fix the regression. The triplet+ duplicates
on this doc are real, intentional rects, not the cell-border + inner-
fill + text-bg pattern PR #76 was targeting.
Drop early-dedup. Mark `greencomp_competence_two_cols` as #[ignore]
since that wired-grid lift only worked WITH early-dedup; a more
surgical lift in `try_build_grid` / `snap_edges` for the
cell-border + inner-fill + text-bg triplet pattern is the right
follow-up. The other PR #76 wins (upstage_key_functions / production
crops #2, #7, #8) still hold; greencomp / production crops #1, #6
revert to GLM until the surgical fix.

* extractor: drop Latin-1 mojibake on Type0/CID fonts; tokenize wide TSR items
Two text-extraction failure modes surfaced by table-candidate shadow
data; both also affect the existing TableFormer / vector-grid paths
since they share `extract_tables_with_structure_*_mem`'s downstream
cell-fill.
1. CJK / multi-byte mojibake. The bottom Latin-1 fallback in
`extract_text_from_operand` ran unconditionally. For a Type0/CID
(Identity-H) font whose ToUnicode CMap fails to parse, the bytes
are CIDs (font-internal indices), not character codes — per-byte
Latin-1 produces mojibake (e.g. 2-byte CID 0xCDD9 surfaces as "ÍÙ").
Gate that fallback on `FontWidthInfo.is_cid` (set by
`parse_type0_widths` for `/Subtype /Type0`). For Type0 fonts with
any non-ASCII byte, emit one U+FFFD per CID instead so
`detect_encoding_issues` still trips and the page is flagged for
OCR — preserving the existing OCR-routing path that the
high-Latin-1 garbage used to satisfy by accident. Type1 / TrueType
simple fonts retain the per-byte Latin-1 round-trip (it IS the
canonical interpretation for them; verified against an existing
pdf-evals fixture where bytes like 0xB6 are legitimate Latin-1).
Threaded `font_widths: &PageFontWidths` through
`extract_text_from_operand` and its 5 call sites in
`content_stream.rs` / `xobjects.rs`.
2. Dense-cell text collapse in `extract_tables_with_structure_cells_mem`.
Stage-1 routing did per-item assignment — each TextItem went into the
single cell whose bbox contained its center. When a row's text is
rendered as one wide Tj (e.g. "Marshall Islands 0.9 0.9 0.9"), the
whole row parks in one cell and the rest of the row stays empty.
New `split_item_into_token_subitems` helper splits each item into
per-token virtual sub-items with x positions estimated from
`effective_width / char_count` and the token's character offset.
Stage 1 then routes per-token. Single-token items collapse to a
one-element vector (no behavior change). Multi-token items spanning
multiple cells distribute correctly. Stage-2 orphan recovery now
operates on token-grain orphans rather than re-trying whole items.
Tests:
- `cid_font_with_unparseable_cmap_does_not_emit_latin1_mojibake` (unit)
exercises the Type0/CID + unparseable-CMap fallback path.
- `simple_font_latin1_fallback_passes_high_bytes_through` (unit)
guards the false-positive case where a Type1 font's `/ToUnicode`
reference is set but bytes are legitimate Latin-1 character codes.
- `test_extract_tables_with_structure_distributes_wide_item_across_cells`
(integration) builds a synthetic PDF with one wide Tj and asserts
each token lands in its own cell.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* tests: pin CID mojibake fix mechanism with FFFD assertions
Two complementary tests for the Type0/CID Latin-1-fallback guard:
1. Tighten `test_identity_h_no_tounicode_suppresses_garbage` on the
existing real-PDF fixture `shinagawa_identity_h.pdf` to also assert
the pre-suppression text contains U+FFFD and contains no high-Latin-1
chars. Pins down WHICH mechanism is suppressing the garbage so a
future regression that re-enables Latin-1 mojibake fails loudly here
instead of silently switching the suppression chain back to
`is_cid_garbage` + high-Latin-1 detection.
2. Add `test_synthetic_type0_broken_tounicode_emits_fffd_not_latin1_mojibake`
with a fully-synthetic Type0 / Identity-H PDF built in process. We
control the malformed ToUnicode contents, the descendant CIDFontType2
shape (just enough for `parse_type0_widths` to set `is_cid=true`,
which is what the new guard keys off of), and the Tj byte stream.
No fixture file or external license needed. Reproduces the exact
"Type0 + non-ASCII bytes + unparseable ToUnicode" code path that
produced the production mojibake samples.

* tables: expand multi-row TSR cells in place
Recover row-under-counted TSR tables by splitting overstuffed cells with native PDF text bands before falling back to heuristic extraction.
Made-with: Cursor
* docs: note multi-row expansion scope
Clarify that the row-band cap intentionally keeps v1 focused on common small row-loss cases while larger compressions continue to use heuristic fallback.
Made-with: Cursor
Three fixes to extract_tables_with_structure_auto_mem (added in
1.7.1) caught by external review:
1. multi_row_in_cell over-triggered on legitimate multi-line cells.
The previous threshold (item span > 1.3× either smallest cell or
tallest item height) fires on any cell with 2+ y-separated text
items — including rowspan>1 cells, wrapped descriptions, and
superscript/subscript runs. Replaced with two gates:
- skip cells whose declared rowspan > 1 (intentional multi-line)
- require an actual whitespace gap (>~half a line height)
between the bottom of one item and the top of the next, in
PDF-native y-coordinates. Same-line items with tall glyphs or
superscripts have negative or near-zero gap; truly separate
visual rows have gap ≈ leading − line-height.
FNBO regression test still passes; new test covers a rowspan=2
cell with two visible text lines and verifies no fallback fires.
2. Heuristic returning empty silently replaced TSR markdown with
"". The auto wrapper now keeps the TSR markdown when the
heuristic markdown is empty/whitespace and tags fallback_reason
with `_heuristic_empty` suffix (e.g.
`multi_row_in_cell_heuristic_empty`). Worst case we ship the
same wrong-but-non-empty TSR output we'd have shipped before
1.7.1; we never replace useful output with literally nothing.
3. One bad input blanked the whole batch. Errors from
detect_tsr_quality_issue or extract_tables_in_regions_mem now
stay scoped to the single input — that input falls through to
raw TSR markdown with a `_error` reason label so callers can
metric on it. Other inputs in the batch are unaffected.
3 new integration tests:
- test_auto_does_not_fire_on_legit_rowspan_cell
- test_auto_keeps_tsr_markdown_when_heuristic_returns_empty
- test_auto_isolates_per_input_failures
All 6 auto tests + full 123-test suite pass. FNBO local replay
still triggers fallback (phantom_empty_row signal in this run) and
emits correct Shawnee/BVP/Sonoma rows with correct census tracts.

Adds extract_tables_with_structure_auto_mem (Rust) /
extractTablesWithStructureAuto (napi). Returns
TableExtractionResult { markdown, fallback_reason } per input.
The wrapper runs the existing TSR-hybrid path then checks the
resulting cells for two known SLANet detection pathologies:
* phantom_empty_row: empty row sandwiched between non-empty rows
(cheap, cell-metadata only).
* multi_row_in_cell: re-reads PDF text items, flags any cell whose
contained items span >1.3× either the smallest cell height or
the tallest contained item height. Catches the FNBO failure mode
where a tall TSR cell absorbs two adjacent PDF rows.
When either fires, extract_tables_in_regions_mem runs over the same
crop bbox and its markdown replaces the TSR markdown.
fallback_reason carries the diagnostic label so callers can emit
metrics and watch each pathology independently.
Validated on FNBO branches PDF page 1 (Kansas region):
- TSR-only: merges Shawnee into BVP, wrong census tract on Sonoma.
- Auto fallback (phantom_empty_row): each row separate, correct tracts.

Closes the row-merge pattern observed against FNBO branch list at the
College/Fairway boundary: when SLANet emits cells whose y-extents
overlap between consecutive rows, an item whose center fell in the
overlap region got pulled into BOTH cells, producing run-on cells
(e.g. "Kansas Kansas" + concatenated addresses).
Cause: stage 1's "for each cell, gather items inside" loop allowed an
item to match multiple cells. `normalize_cell_bands` reduces overlap
but is biased when cell-mean-center is offset from actual text baseline
(SLANet bboxes are typically taller than their text content), so the
midpoint-clamp can land on the wrong side of the row boundary, and
items at the boundary still match two cells.
Fix: invert the matching. For each PDF text item, find candidate cells
(those whose bbox satisfies tsr_region_contains_item — center inside
OR >=60% overlap on both axes), and assign to the cell whose CENTER
is geometrically closest. Build per-cell text from the assigned items.
Stage 2 (orphan recovery) is unchanged.
Exclusivity prevents item duplication across cells. The closest-center
rule disambiguates the cell-overlap case naturally without aggressive
band clamping. normalize_cell_bands stays — it tightens cells before
matching (smaller overlap → fewer ambiguous candidates) but is no
longer load-bearing for correctness of the overlap case.
Local replay against FNBO via api/scripts/local-tsr-replay.ts (which
exercises the full layout-pod → table-pod → pdf-inspector chain
in-process):
Pre-1.6.4 (deployed 1.6.3):
|LITH West|Illinois Illinois|11700 S. IL Route 47, Huntley IL...
|College|||0534.03|
|Fairway|Kansas Kansas|4650 College Blvd... 2828 Shawnee Mission...
Post-1.6.4 (this change):
|Huntley|Illinois|11700 S. IL Route 47, Huntley IL...|8711.15|
|LITH West|Illinois|4520 W Algonquin Rd, Lake in the Hills...
|College|Kansas|4650 College Blvd, Overland Park KS...|0532.01|
|Fairway|Kansas|2828 Shawnee Mission Pkwy, Fairway KS...|0500.00|
One row (Shawnee in the Kansas section) can still get dropped under
SLANet detection variance — the model occasionally under-detects rows
and emits N structure rows for N+1 PDF rows. The squeezed row's text
gets routed to the structurally-nearest existing cell. This is a
SLANet limitation, not addressable in pdf-inspector without
synthesizing rows from PDF text geometry; deferred.
Tests: 416 lib + 120 integration + 2 doctests pass. clippy + fmt clean.
Bump @firecrawl/pdf-inspector to 1.6.4 (patch — refines stage 1's
matching strategy; no API changes).

Closes the residual run-on-cell pattern observed on FNBO branch list
after 1.6.2 deployed:
|Shawnee Blue Valley Parkway|Kansas|6301 Pflumm, ...|0523.04|
|Sonoma Plaza|Kansas Kansas|<addr1> <addr2>|0531.05|
|Mitchell Woonsocket|South Dakota|<addr1>|9628.01|
Cause: when col-N cells across multiple consecutive rows are y-shifted
the same way (a local SLANet drift), the stage 2 orphan pass sees
multiple orphans qualifying for the same nearest empty cell. The cell
gets all of them appended in order, producing "RowA-text RowB-text".
Fix: track the y-coordinate of the first orphan that lands in each
cell. Subsequent orphans only join that cell if their y is within
half-a-row-height of the first orphan's y (same line). Cross-line
orphans skip that cell and look for the next-nearest empty cell on
their own line.
Same-line slack preserves multi-token branch names like
"Blue Valley Parkway" (3 PDF text items at the same y) — all three
stack into the same cell. Cross-row stacking is what gets rejected.
Two new tests:
- stage2_rejects_cross_line_stacking_into_same_cell
Two orphans on different rows, both equidistant to the same empty
cell. First wins; second routes to its own row's cell.
- stage2_allows_same_line_orphans_to_stack_into_one_cell
Three same-line orphans (multi-token branch name) all land in the
same empty cell, joined by spaces.
The existing four stage-2 tests + the cell-bleed regression test from
PR #62 + #63 all pass: 416 lib + 115 integration + 2 doctests.
clippy + fmt clean.
Bump @firecrawl/pdf-inspector to 1.6.3 (patch — refines 1.6.2; no API
changes).

PR #62 (1.6.1) closed the cell-bleed regression by clamping SLANet's
loose cell bboxes into non-overlapping row/column bands and tightening
text membership to center-containment OR >=60% overlap. That worked,
but exposed the opposite failure: legitimate native PDF text whose
center fell just outside the *clamped* cell bbox now had nowhere to go.
Two distinct failure modes observed against the FNBO branch-list PDF
after 1.6.1 deployed:
Symptom A — header text positioned at the LEFT of a column whose band
was derived from data-cell centers farther right. Header "Address"
PDF text at x=331..375 fell outside the clamped col band starting
at x=410. Strict membership rejected it (0% x-overlap, center
outside).
Symptom B — local SLANet row drift in col 0 over a 5-row stretch.
Cell bboxes sat just above the actual branch-name text items
(x-overlap 100% but y-overlap ~30-43%, below the 60% threshold).
Both share one root: post-normalization bboxes are too tight, and the
strict rule has no escape valve for legitimate edge text.
Fix: add a stage-2 orphan-recovery pass after the strict fill. Items
that NO cell claimed in stage 1 get re-assigned to their nearest
*empty* cell, distance-capped by `(median_col_width, median_row_height)`
so a far-orphan figure title can't get pulled into a faraway empty
cell. Stage 2 only fills empties — never overwrites stage 1 — so the
cell-bleed case PR #62 closed cannot regress.
Three new lib tests cover the bug shapes:
- stage2_recovers_left_aligned_header_text_outside_data_band
(Symptom A: header text left-of-band, data cells already filled,
stage 2 fills only the header)
- stage2_recovers_y_shifted_col0_in_consecutive_rows
(Symptom B: 3 col-0 cells shifted vs text, all 3 recovered)
- stage2_does_not_overwrite_filled_cells_or_admit_far_orphans
(cap rejects far figure titles; pre-filled cells untouched)
Plus tests for the cap-derivation helper:
- tsr_assignment_caps_uses_median_geometry
- tsr_assignment_caps_floor_protects_degenerate_input
The existing dense-overlapping-rows regression test (added in #62) still
passes, confirming no regression on the cell-bleed case.
Test results: 414 lib + 115 integration + 2 doctests pass. clippy + fmt
clean.
Bump @firecrawl/pdf-inspector to 1.6.2 (patch — fixes a regression
introduced by 1.6.1; no API changes).

* feat: TSR-aware table extraction (extract_tables_with_structure_mem)
New public function that consumes raw structure-recovery output (HTML
structure tokens + per-cell bboxes from a model like SLANet) and assembles
markdown tables by pulling cell text from the native PDF — no OCR, no
geometry inference.
Why: the existing extract_tables_in_regions_mem infers grid geometry from
text positions only and can't distinguish merged cells from multiple narrow
columns. Pairing structure recovery from a layout/TSR model with native
PDF text gets perfect text quality with proper row/col/span structure.
- New module src/tables/structured.rs: token state machine, polygon→AABB,
crop-px→page-pt, rowspan/colspan-aware cell layout, markdown emitter.
Accepts both 4-element rects and 8-element 4-corner polygons.
- New public extract_tables_with_structure_mem in src/lib.rs that reuses
extract_page_text_items, region_overlaps_item, and the shared region
text-collection helper. No existing public function modified.
- napi binding extractTablesWithStructure mirroring the existing
extractTablesInRegions shape (f64 in JS → f32 internally).
- 14 unit tests + 5 integration tests, including a real-PDF gold-standard
match against bits_pilani_feedback.pdf.

* TSR follow-ups: header-aware separator, cells API, v1.6.0
- cells_to_markdown emits the separator after the LAST row that contains
is_header=true cells, falling back to "after row 0" when no header is
flagged. Multi-row theads now render correctly. Three new unit tests
cover: multi-row header, header not on row 0, no headers (fallback).
- New public extract_tables_with_structure_cells_mem returning
Vec<Vec<StructuredCell>> so callers can drive their own rendering or
debug overlays without re-doing the parse + extraction. The markdown
variant now wraps it. The previously-unused page_pt_bbox field is
surfaced through this API.

The rect-based cell fallback in detect_row_stripe_table_from_cell_rects
derives columns purely from text X-position clustering. When prose
wraps inside a bounding-box rect (chat transcripts, stylized figures),
the word-boundary gaps cluster into many spurious columns, producing
a multi-column "table" that is just fragmented prose.
Count cells containing common English function words (articles,
prepositions, pronouns, common verbs) and reject the fallback when
20%+ of non-empty cells contain any such word. Real tabular data —
labels, units, numbers, short identifiers — rarely contains these.
Update the td9264 snapshot: the government document section that
previously rendered as a malformed table now renders as cleaner
prose + a proper CFR list.

* fix: don't reclassify wrapped bold list leads as headings
When a numbered/bulleted list item's bold lead phrase wraps onto a
second visual line, that line is all_bold + standalone, which scored
above the rarity heading threshold and was emitted as #### in the
middle of the item. That reset in_list, so the body continuation
below picked up a stray `- ` bullet via the struct-tree LI path,
shattering a single item into heading + stray bullets.
Guard the font heuristic: when already inside a list, skip heading
classification for lines at the list continuation indent with a Y
gap within para_threshold. Structure-tree headings still win.

* fix: tighten rect-row span check in propagate_merged_cells
propagate_merged_cells used an overlap-based predicate with ±tol
slop that returned true at shared row boundaries — a rect whose
top exactly equals row N's bottom lies entirely below the row, yet
the predicate considered it to span row N. When multiple background
rects aligned on a shared Y edge (e.g. consecutive row-stripe
shading), each adjacent rect would over-reach by one row, cascading
labels and data from unrelated rows into a single merged cell.
Replace the overlap predicate with a containment check: rect bottom
at or below row bottom, rect top at or above row top (each within
tol). Genuine merged-cell rects fully contain the rows they span;
tangent rects do not.
Update two snapshots that were encoding the old buggy output.
