AI Summary

This release focuses on improving text geometry handling, specifically superscript and subscript support, while fixing PDF loading issues and optimizing CI and release processes.

Key Highlights

Improved text geometry, superscript/subscript handling, and baseline metadata.
Bounded object-stream decompression to prevent resource exhaustion.
Positions and regions now relative to the visible page box.
Rotated-text bounds and rotation metadata improvements.
Embedded bold-font metadata recovery.

Breaking Changes

Positioned items and region APIs now use the visible page box; remove manual CropBox-origin adjustments.
Rust TextItem literals must include baseline_shift, rotation, and advance_known fields.

New Features

Password-aware Python fixture tests.
Python binding tests in CI.
Repair of classic cross-reference tables with short entries.

## Migration

- Positioned items and region APIs now use the visible page box. Remove any manual CropBox-origin adjustment; positioned items use a lower-left origin, while region inputs use a top-left origin.
- Rust `TextItem` literals must add `baseline_shift`, `rotation`, and `advance_known` (`0.0`, `0.0`, and `true` for ordinary upright text).
