PDF OCR Foundation #98

Description

@maruson08

Build a local-only, TypeScript-first PDF OCR foundation that renders PDF pages sequentially, reuses the existing OCR service, exposes structured per-page results and real progress, and preserves cancellation, stale-result protection, retry, and resource cleanup.

Scope:

  • audit and reuse existing PDF loading/rendering and OCR infrastructure
  • bounded page selection and deterministic OCR rendering
  • typed page/result/progress contracts
  • cancellation and source-replacement safety
  • sequential resource-conscious processing
  • regression, privacy, CSP, and browser integration coverage
  • documentation for the future Searchable PDF Sprint

Explicitly excluded:

  • searchable text-layer PDF generation
  • cloud OCR or external OCR APIs
  • AI correction
  • handwriting guarantees
  • additional OCR recognition languages
