feat(spike-B): reconstruction pipeline; F1=0.963 on synthetic corpus (§14 step 5)

Implement the text reconstruction pipeline (§4.1 steps 2-5) for the M0
Spike B gate:
- GlyphRun.h: input model (Glyph, GlyphRun, Line, Paragraph, GroundTruth)
  mirroring §3.2/§3.3
- Reconstruct.cpp: flatten → line detection (baseline cluster, 0.25×font
  tolerance) → reading order (descending-y for PDF coords) → paragraph
  grouping → boundary-F1 scorer
- Corpus.cpp: deterministic synthetic corpus generator (3-8 paras/doc,
  1-5 lines/para, realistic leading + paragraph gaps + short last lines)
- main.cpp: emits the contract JSON; exit 0 if F1 ≥ target

Gate MET: F1=0.963 (precision 0.929, recall 1.000) on 500 synthetic docs,
target ≥0.85. Verified clean under ASan+UBSan. The result and findings are
recorded in docs/spike-results/0002-spike-b-reconstruction.md.

Key findings: (1) the leading-gap signal is primary for paragraph breaks;
treating short-last-line as primary over-segmented (F1 0.37→0.96 fixed).
(2) PDF coordinate orientation (y-up) inverts reading order — easy to get
backwards. (3) column-width inference must use a percentile not the max.
(4) the 80/20 boundary is visible in the 166/500 imperfect docs (single-line
paras, list items) — the real labelled corpus (§8.1) is needed for the 0.93
release gate.

Step 1 (glyph→Unicode via cmap/ToUnicode) is deliberately not exercised
here — the synthetic corpus knows Unicode by construction; it is the next
reconstruction work and the highest-risk step.

CI: add a spike-gates job to .gitea/workflows/build.yml that runs Spike A
(informational — the byte-identity gate is met by §4.4 surgical splice in
M2, not by QPDFWriter) and Spike B (fails the build on regression) on Linux.

# Spike B — glyph→Unicode + line/paragraph reconstruction: M0 result
* **Spike**: B — glyph→Unicode + line/paragraph reconstruction
(engineering plan §14 step 5)
* **Date**: 2025-07-25
* **Status**: Complete. **Gate MET** on the synthetic corpus.
* **Gate**: paragraph-boundary F1 ≥ 0.85 (M0 exit criterion); ≥ 0.93 is the
release gate (§8.2) and requires the real labelled corpus.
## What was built
`spike/B_reconstruction/` implements the reconstruction pipeline (§4.1
steps 25) on a synthetic in-memory glyph model:
- `GlyphRun.h` — the input model (`Glyph`, `GlyphRun`, `Line`, `Paragraph`,
`GroundTruthParagraph`), mirroring §3.2/§3.3.
- `Reconstruct.cpp` — step 2 (flatten runs to placed glyphs), step 3 (line
detection by baseline clustering, tolerance 0.25 × font size per §4.1
step 3), step 4 (reading order: descending-y sort for the single-column LTR
case — the recursive XY-cut reduces to this), step 5 (paragraph grouping),
plus a boundary-F1 scorer.
- `Corpus.cpp` — a deterministic synthetic corpus generator (seeded PRNG)
producing 38 paragraphs of 15 lines each, with realistic leading,
paragraph gaps, short last lines, and occasional list items.
- `main.cpp` — runs the pipeline over the corpus and emits the contract JSON.
Step 1 (glyph→Unicode via font cmap / ToUnicode) is not exercised by this
spike: the synthetic generator produces glyphs whose `unicode` is known by
construction. Step 1 is exercised separately once the production L3
interpreter (M2) wires FreeType + the ToUnicode CMap path.
## Result
| Metric | Value | Target |
|---|---|---|
| paragraph-boundary F1 | **0.963** | ≥ 0.85 |
| precision | 0.929 | — |
| recall | **1.000** | — |
| perfect documents | 334 / 500 | — |
Tested on 500 synthetic documents, single-column LTR, 12pt font, 14.4pt
leading, 23pt paragraph gap. Recall is perfect (no missed boundaries); the
remaining imperfection is over-segmentation (precision 0.93) on the ~33% of
documents where the synthetic generator creates edge cases — single-line
paragraphs adjacent to multi-line ones, and list items.
## Findings
1. **The leading-gap signal is primary; the short-last-line signal is
confirming, not primary.** The first implementation treated "previous line
ended short of the right margin" as a sufficient paragraph-break condition
and over-segmented badly (F1 ≈ 0.37): a short *first* line of a paragraph
is common, and the heuristic split paragraphs at every short line. The
correct hierarchy (per §4.1 step 5) is: leading consistency is the merge
condition; a short last line only forces a break when *combined* with
above-normal leading. This recovered F1 to 0.963.
2. **Coordinate-system orientation matters and is easy to get backwards.**
The synthetic corpus uses PDF coordinates (y increases upward), so reading
order is *descending* y. An ascending-y sort inverted the reading order and
broke both the leading sign and the "previous line" semantics. This is a
concrete instance of the §11 "real PDFs are pathological" risk and the
reason the plan keeps the corpus in PDF coordinates throughout.
3. **Column-width inference must be robust to outliers.** Inferring the
column right edge as the max `x_end` across lines let a single overshooting
line push the edge out and make every other line look "not wrapped". Using
the 90th percentile instead fixed the wrap-tolerance. This is the kind of
detail the real §4.1 step 4 XY-cut handles by computing column geometry
rather than inferring it from line ends.
4. **The 80/20 boundary is real and visible in the failure cases.** The 166
imperfect documents are exactly the §11 "last 20%" cases: single-line
paragraphs, list items, paragraphs whose first line is short. The synthetic
corpus makes these diagnosable; the real labelled corpus (§8.1) is needed
to score against ground truth on actual layout pathology and to validate
the 0.93 release gate.
## What this means for the project
- **The reconstruction pipeline shape works and scores above the M0 bar on a
controlled corpus.** The M0 exit criterion (F1 ≥ 0.85) is met; the project
is not blocked on reconstruction feasibility.
- **The release gate (F1 ≥ 0.93, §8.2) must be scored on the real labelled
corpus**, not the synthetic one. The synthetic corpus validates the
pipeline; it does not validate that the pipeline handles real PDF
pathology. Acquiring/constructing the labelled corpus (§8.1) is the next
prerequisite for the M4 text-editing milestone.
- **Step 1 (glyph→Unicode) remains the highest-risk step** and is not covered
by this spike. It is where the §4.1 priority ladder (ToUnicode → Encoding →
built-in → cmap → OCR) lives, and where low-confidence mappings drive the
UI's confidence-underlining. It should be the next reconstruction work.
## Reproducing
```bash
cmake -S . -B build/manual -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
cmake --build build/manual --target spike_b_reconstruction
build/manual/bin/spike_b_reconstruction 500 0.85 # <n_docs> <target_F1>
```
The single-line JSON report on stdout is the CI contract. Exit 0 if the gate
is met, 1 otherwise. Also verified clean under ASan+UBSan.
