# evidence-source

Headless document ingest for the citation-evidence ecosystem. Turns raw PDF
bytes into engine-owned evidence contracts — a `Document` (media type,
SHA-256 fingerprint, optional title/uri/metadata) and a
`DocumentRepresentation` (`pdf-text`: canonical text, page map, gap-free
offset map). Ingest is pure over bytes: no persistence, no viewer state, no
React.

## Status

**Implemented: the PDF slice.** As of ESRC-WP-0001 this repo hosts the
extracted PDF ingest core that previously lived in `citation-evidence/src/source/`.
HTML/Markdown representations, richer metadata enrichment, and citation
recovery are deferred to follow-on workplans (see `workplans/`).

## Install

Requires a sibling checkout of `citation-engine` (domain contracts) and, for
tests, `citation-evidence` (fixture corpus — see `docs/ADR-0002-fixture-ownership.md`).

```bash
pnpm install   # resolves @citation-evidence/engine via link:../citation-engine
```

## Usage

```ts
import { ingestPdf } from "@citation-evidence/evidence-source";

const { document, representation } = await ingestPdf(pdfBytes, {
  filename: "contract.pdf",
});
// document.fingerprint      -> SHA-256 hex
// representation.canonicalText / pageMap / offsetMap
```

Browser upload helpers (in-memory `blob:` byte store + `ingestPdfFromFile`)
live behind a separate, clearly-isolated entry point so headless consumers do
not pull in browser machinery:

```ts
import { createPdfByteStore, ingestPdfFromFile }
  from "@citation-evidence/evidence-source/browser";
```

Extraction requires the host to configure the PDF.js worker
(`GlobalWorkerOptions.workerSrc`) before calling `extractPdf`/`ingestPdf`; the
module itself does no worker setup so it loads cleanly in Node and browsers.

## Dev commands

```bash
pnpm test        # vitest (fixture suites skip if the corpus is absent)
pnpm typecheck   # tsc --noEmit
pnpm lint        # eslint
```

Point `EVIDENCE_SOURCE_FIXTURE_DIR` at the PDF corpus when the sibling
`citation-evidence` checkout is not at `../citation-evidence`.

## Architecture

- `src/pdf/` — headless core: `ingest`, `extract`, `fingerprint`. Runtime-agnostic.
- `src/browser/` — browser upload surface: `byte-store`, `upload`. Separated by
  an ESLint boundary so the core never imports it.
- Domain contracts come from `@citation-evidence/engine/shared`; none are
  copied locally.
- Boundary and fixture decisions: `docs/ADR-0001`, `docs/ADR-0002`.

`viewer-url` resolution stays in the consuming app (`citation-evidence`), which
imports this package's ingest core through a thin façade.
