Syed Ali Abbas ZaidiandAmruth Pillai cce6d64afa feat(import): parse a PDF resume without an AI provider (#3400)
* feat(import): parse a PDF resume without an AI provider

Importing a PDF required a connected AI provider, so anyone without a
paid API key could only import the three JSON formats. Almost nobody
arrives with one of those files; they arrive with a PDF. The first thing
a new user tries to do was blocked behind bringing their own key.

Adds a deterministic parser that reads the text out of the PDF in the
browser and prefills the builder. It pulls the contact block, segments
the body on conventional headings, and maps entries to real items,
reusing the ATS period parser for dates so a date range is not mistaken
for a phone number.

Nothing is thrown away: header parts that do not map to a field go into
the description, and unrecognized headings become custom sections. The
imported sections are placed on the page so the result renders straight
away. Output is validated against the resume schema before it is
returned.

Text extraction groups items by baseline rather than trusting hasEOL,
and turns wide column gaps into a double space, which is what lets a
row split into company, position and location.

The AI path still runs when a provider is connected. Word import is
unchanged and still requires one.

Closes #3334

* fix(import): keep every section and entry the PDF actually contains

Review found three ways the parser lost or mangled content, all of them
reproducible.

A document whose first heading was not one of the known aliases never
started a section, because unknown-heading detection was gated on a
section already being open. Everything after it was swallowed as contact
header text. The header block is now bounded by where the contact
details stop, so a heading is recognized wherever it appears.

An entry spreading company, position and dates over three lines was
imported as two malformed items. A line that introduces an entry now
merges into the open entry instead of starting a second one.

An uppercase company such as ACME CORPORATION was read as a section
heading and fragmented the entry. A heading candidate followed by a date
line is now treated as an entry header, which is what it is.

Also escape single quotes, and construct the PDF worker inside the try
so the nested worker is terminated even if construction throws.

Title-case headings are deliberately still not treated as headings:
company and school names are title case too, and splitting on them would
fragment real entries. Such a section stays in the preceding one with its
text intact rather than risking loss.

* fix(import): look past a multi-line preamble before calling a line a heading

The previous guard only inspected the next line, so an uppercase company
followed by a separate role line and then the dates was still read as a
section heading. The experience or education entry was moved into a
custom section and lost.

Heading detection now scans a two-line window for the date that marks an
entry, and stops early at a bullet so a genuine heading whose section
opens with bullet points is still recognized.

The window can suppress a real heading whose first entry puts a bare date
two lines below it. That is the deliberate direction to fail in: a missed
heading leaves the text in the preceding section, while a misread entry
fragments structured content.

* fix(import): collect an entry preamble until its dates appear

An entry that spread company, role, location and dates over four lines
was imported as two broken items: the company with no dates, and the
location carrying the period.

The cause was in entry grouping rather than heading detection. Lines
before a date were only folded into the entry header when the date sat
on the very next line; anything earlier fell through to the description.
Preamble lines are now collected into the entry header until the dates
turn up, bounded by the same lookahead and stopping at a bullet, so an
undated section cannot swallow itself.

The heading lookahead widens to four lines to match, which is the
realistic maximum for company, role, location and dates.

* fix(import): harden local PDF resume parsing

* chore(import): document audited HTML construction
