feat(pdf): extract standalone PDF ingest package (ESRC-WP-0001)
Bootstrap evidence-source from the citation-evidence src/source PDF slice.

- Headless core (src/pdf): ingest/extract/fingerprint, importing domain
  contracts from @citation-evidence/engine/shared (no local copies)
- Browser upload helpers isolated under src/browser behind a ./browser
  entry point, with an eslint boundary keeping the core browser-free
- pnpm/TS/vitest/eslint scaffold; 52 tests (contract + determinism)
- Fixtures resolved from the sibling citation-evidence checkout, not
  duplicated (real PII) — see docs/ADR-0002; suites skip when absent
- Boundary + fixture decisions recorded as docs/ADR-0001 / ADR-0002
- README/SCOPE rewritten; capability.infotech.pdf-evidence-ingest
  registered, NO_CAPABILITIES removed
- Follow-on workplans ESRC-WP-0002..0004 queued; ESRC-WP-0001 finished

# 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.
