- Honor horizontal text scaling. [#510](https://github.com/firecrawl/pdf-inspector/pull/510)
- Recover stale single-byte font mappings. [#516](https://github.com/firecrawl/pdf-inspector/pull/516)
- Expose legacy symbol-rewrite metadata in Rust and Node. [#519](https://github.com/firecrawl/pdf-inspector/pull/519)
- Keep separately clipped text runs apart. [#518](https://github.com/firecrawl/pdf-inspector/pull/518)

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