fix(markdown): lowercase-initial short fragments are not headings

A lowercase-initial one-or-two-word "heading" is a mid-sentence
fragment beside display math ("or inversely", "and therefore") — real
headings that short start uppercase. Measured as spurious headings on
academic docs (opendataloader MHS via fire-pdf's coverage_fallback
path, ENG-5029).

Extends is_heading_fragment, so both bold-heading call sites get the
gate. Corpus sweep (708 opendataloader + ParseBench PDFs): 33 docs
change, all lowercase-fragment demotions from `##`/`#` to plain or
bold ("## caldera" -> "**caldera**", "## of quorum.\"" ->
"**of quorum.\"**") — no real heading is lowercase-initial and that
short in either corpus.

+
+Fast PDF text extraction to structured Markdown. CLI binary: `pdf2md`. Detection binary: `detect-pdf`.
+
+## Build & Test
+
+```bash
+cargo fmt                                    # format
+cargo clippy -- -D warnings                  # lint (enforced, zero warnings)
+cargo test                                   # unit + integration tests (267+ unit, 73+ integration)
+cargo build --release                        # release binary for benchmarks
+```
+
+All three must pass before committing.
+
+## Binaries
+
+- `pdf2md` — extract PDF → Markdown. Supports `--json` for structured output.
+- `detect-pdf` — classify PDF type (TextBased/Scanned/Mixed/ImageBased). Supports `--analyze --json`.
+
+## Architecture
+
+```
+src/
+  lib.rs                        – public API, process_pdf_with_options, encoding issue detection
+  detector.rs                   – PDF type classification, tiled-scan detection, page sampling
+  types.rs                      – TextItem, TextLine, PdfRect, PdfLine
+  tounicode.rs                  – CMap/ToUnicode parsing, CID decoding
+  text_utils.rs                 – CJK/RTL handling, Otsu threshold, ligature expansion, NFKC
+  extractor/
+    mod.rs                      – top-level extraction orchestrator
+    content_stream.rs           – PDF operator state machine (Tj/TJ/Td/Tm/q/Q)
+    fonts.rs                    – font width/encoding, CMapDecisionCache, TrueType cmap fallback
+    layout.rs                   – column detection (histogram), newspaper/tabular classification,
+                                  spanning-line pre-masking, sidebar detection
+  tables/
+    detect_rects.rs             – rect-based table detection (union-find clustering)
+    detect_heuristic.rs         – heuristic table detection (gap-histogram, body-font tables)
+    detect_lines.rs             – line-based table detection (H/V line grids)
+    grid.rs                     – column/row boundaries, cell assignment
+    format.rs                   – table→Markdown formatting, continuation row merging
+  markdown/
+    convert.rs                  – core line→Markdown loop, struct-tree role support
+    analysis.rs                 – font stats, heading tiers, paragraph thresholds
+    classify.rs                 – line classification (header, list, code, caption)
+    preprocess.rs               – drop cap merging, heading line merging
+    postprocess.rs              – dot leaders, hyphenation, page numbers, URL formatting
+```
+
+## Key design decisions
+
+- **Primary audience is AI agents.** Output optimized for token efficiency and semantic quality, not visual formatting. No cosmetic padding.
+- **Three table detection strategies** run in priority order: rect-based → line-based → heuristic. First valid result wins.
+- **Column detection** uses horizontal projection histograms with valley detection. Multi-item spanning lines (titles, headers) are pre-masked using column-aware thresholds before column assignment.
+- **Newspaper vs tabular** classification determines reading order: newspaper reads columns sequentially, tabular Y-interleaves them.
+- **Tiled-scan detection** catches scanned PDFs with JBIG2/strip images where no single tile exceeds the template threshold but aggregate area does (≥2M pixels).
+- **Garbage text upgrade** reclassifies Mixed PDFs as Scanned when extracted text is <50% alphanumeric.
+- **Tagged PDF support** uses structure tree roles (H1-H6, P, L, Code, BlockQuote) when available, falling back to font-size heuristics.
+
+## Testing
+
+- **Unit tests**: inline `#[cfg(test)] mod tests` in each module with synthetic data.
+- **Integration tests**: `tests/integration_tests.rs` with fixture PDFs in `tests/fixtures/`.
+- **Regression suite**: sibling repo `pdf-evals` with 179+ snapshot PDFs. Run `cargo build --release` then `bench.py test` in that repo before committing.
+
+## Debugging
+
+```bash
+RUST_LOG=pdf_inspector::extractor::layout=debug cargo run --bin pdf2md -- file.pdf
+RUST_LOG=pdf_inspector::tables=debug cargo run --bin pdf2md -- file.pdf
+RUST_LOG=pdf_inspector::detector=debug cargo run --release --bin detect-pdf -- file.pdf
+```
+
+## Conventions
+
+- Clippy: use `is_some_and(...)` not `map_or(false, ...)`
+- lopdf quirk: `ParseError` is private — match by string for `InvalidFileHeader`
+- Column limit for tables: 25 (wide statistical tables)
+- `propagate_merged_cells` skipped for >10 columns (spanning rects = background fills)

 Fast Rust library for PDF classification and text extraction. Detects whether a PDF is text-based or scanned, extracts text with position awareness, and converts to clean Markdown — all without OCR. Includes bindings for [Python](docs/python.md) and [Node.js](napi/README.md).
 
 Built by [Firecrawl](https://firecrawl.dev) to handle text-based PDFs locally in under 200ms, skipping expensive OCR services for the ~54% of PDFs that don't need them.

+**Preferred:** Email **help@firecrawl.dev** with:
+
+- A description of the issue and its impact
+- Steps to reproduce (a minimal PDF or input that triggers the bug is ideal)
+- The version or commit hash of pdf-inspector you tested against
+
+**Alternative:** Use GitHub's private vulnerability reporting under the
+[Security tab](https://github.com/firecrawl/pdf-inspector/security/advisories/new).
+
+We'll acknowledge your report in a timely manner and keep you updated on
+remediation progress. Please do not open a public GitHub issue for security
+bugs.
+
+## Scope
+
+In scope:
+- Memory-safety issues (panics, OOB reads, UB) reachable from a crafted PDF
+- Denial-of-service vectors (unbounded allocation, infinite loops) on
+  reasonably-sized inputs
+- Bugs in the `pdf2md` / `detect-pdf` binaries or the `pdf-inspector` crate
+  that affect downstream consumers
+
+Out of scope:
+- Bugs in upstream dependencies (`lopdf`, etc.) — please report those upstream
+- Extraction quality issues (wrong text, missing tables) — open a regular
+  GitHub issue instead

+# Publishing
+
+The Rust crate is published to [crates.io](https://crates.io/crates/pdf-inspector) with trusted publishing from GitHub Actions. The first release was published manually; future releases publish from `.github/workflows/publish-crate.yml` when a `Cargo.toml` version change lands on `main`.
+
+## crates.io Trusted Publisher
+
+Configure the trusted publisher for the `pdf-inspector` crate with:
+
+- Repository: `firecrawl/pdf-inspector`
+- Workflow: `publish-crate.yml`
+- Environment: `crates-io`
+
+The workflow uses `rust-lang/crates-io-auth-action@v1` to exchange GitHub's OIDC token for a short-lived crates.io token, then passes it to `cargo publish`.
+
+## Release Steps
+
+1. Update `version` in `Cargo.toml`.
+2. Merge the version bump to `main`.
+3. The publish workflow compares the new `Cargo.toml` version with `HEAD~1`, runs `cargo publish --dry-run`, then publishes if that version is not already on crates.io.
+
+If `Cargo.toml` changes without a package version bump, the workflow exits without publishing.

+//! Text-quality detection: deciding when an extracted text layer is too broken
+//! to serve and a page should fall back to OCR.
+//!
+//! Extraction can produce plausible-looking bytes that are actually garbage —
+//! failed CID→Unicode mappings, broken ToUnicode CMaps, mojibake. These
+//! detectors catch that and let callers set `needs_ocr`. They come in two
+//! layers, sharing the same primitives:
+//!
+//! - **Markdown-level** ([`detect_encoding_issues`], [`is_garbage_text`],
+//!   [`is_cid_garbage`]) run on a page's final markdown string. Used as a
+//!   backstop on the region-extraction and whole-document paths.
+//! - **Item/span-level** ([`analyze_text_quality`],
+//!   [`region_items_have_decoding_issue`]) run on individual `TextItem`s and
+//!   accumulate per-page evidence, so localized garbled spans on an otherwise
+//!   clean page are caught without a single span having to condemn the page.
+//!
+//! Detection classes, roughly by signal:
+//! - **Replacement runs**: U+FFFD clusters ([`has_replacement_text_run`]).
+//! - **Private-use / C1-control runs**: CID passthrough landing in PUA or the
+//!   C1 block ([`has_private_use_text_run`], [`has_cid_control_token`]).
+//! - **Dollar-as-space**: `Word$Word$Word` from broken CMaps
+//!   ([`has_dollar_as_space_pattern`]).
+//! - **Non-alphanumeric dominance**: symbol soup ([`is_garbage_text`]).
+//! - **Substitution-cipher letter statistics**: pure-ASCII output whose letter
+//!   distribution is a permutation of natural language ([`CipherGarbleStats`]).

Tips include cash left by customers, tips customers add to credit card charges, and tips you receive from other employees. You must report your tips for any one month by the 10th day of the next month. If the 10th day falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, you may give the report to your employer on the next business day that is not a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday. You must report tips that total $20 or more every month regardless of your total wages and tips for the year. You may use Form 4070, Employee’s Report of Tips to Employer, to report your tips to your employer. See the instructions on the back of Form 4070. You must include all tips, including tips not reported to your employer, as wages on your income tax return. You may use the last page of this publication to total your tips for the year. Your employer must withhold income, social security, and Medicare (or railroad retirement) taxes on tips you report. Your employer usually deducts the withholding due on tips from your regular wages.

-**Unreported Tips.—If you received tips of $20 or** more for any month while working for one employer but did not report them to your employer, you must figure and pay social security and Medicare taxes on the unreported tips when you file your tax return. If you have unreported tips, you must use Form 1040 and Form 4137, Social Security and Medicare Tax on Unreported Tip Income, to report them. You may not use Form 1040A or 1040EZ. Employees subject to the Railroad Retirement Tax Act cannot use Form 4137 to pay railroad retirement tax on unreported tips. To get railroad retirement credit, you must report tips to your employer. If you do not report tips to your employer as required, you may be charged a penalty of 50% of the social security and Medicare taxes (or railroad retirement tax) due on the unreported tips unless there was reasonable cause for not reporting them. **Additional Information.—Get Pub. 531, Reporting** Tip Income, and Form 4137 for more information on tips. If you are an employee of certain large food or beverage establishments, see Pub. 531 for tip allocation rules. **Recordkeeping.—If you do not keep a daily** record of tips, you must keep other reliable proof of the tip income you received. This proof includes copies of restaurant bills and credit card charges that show amounts customers added as tips. Keep your tip income records for as long as the information on them may be needed in the administration of any Internal Revenue law.
