What's New
Adds font weight metadata and fixes text clipping to prevent off-canvas label leakage.
Breaking Changes
- Rust TextItem literals now require the new font_weight field.
New Features
- Adds font weight metadata (100-900) to text items.
- Adds PDF header parsing tolerance for better file compatibility.
Improvements
- Opt-in bold_from_weight API for positioned-text and region APIs.
- Text clipping fix excludes text painted wholly outside rectangular bounds.
Bug Fixes
- Fixes off-canvas labels leaking into surrounding text.
Upgrade Notes
Rust developers must add `font_weight: None` to `TextItem` literals for unknown weights. The `bold_from_weight` feature is opt-in; existing `is_bold` logic remains unchanged. No changes are required for Node, Python, or `pdf2md` unless opting into the new bold detection feature.
