AI Summary

This release improves text extraction accuracy by fixing bold style preservation and handling horizontal scaling. It also exposes legacy symbol-rewrite metadata in both Rust and Node environments. Furthermore, it recovers stale font mappings and separates clipped text runs for better data structure.

Key Highlights

Preserve stroke-simulated bold
Honor horizontal text scaling
Expose legacy symbol-rewrite metadata in Rust and Node
Recover stale single-byte font mappings
Keep separately clipped text runs apart

Breaking Changes

Rust migration: `TextItem` literals need `legacy_symbol_rewrite: false` for items without symbol cleanup.
The Node `legacySymbolRewrite` field is now optional and is emitted only when cleanup changed a character.

New Features

Expose legacy symbol-rewrite metadata in Rust and Node environments
