Summary

read_document returned every format as one line after another, and the part a reader was going to use went with the shape: a table's columns, a contract's numbering, which line was a title. A report's table came back as 지표 | 도입 전 | 도입 후 | 변화 — indistinguishable from a paragraph holding pipes.

It now returns Markdown that keeps the shape, and a new inspect_document carries what Markdown has no syntax for.

## 핵심 지표

| **지표** | **도입 전** | **도입 후** | **변화** |
| --- | --: | --: | --: |
| 건당 처리 시간 | 45분 | 3분 | -93% |

Changes

A read model, not the write union. markdown.ts's Block is, in its own words, the greatest common denominator of what four renderers can draw; a reader's subject is what a file contained. A cell that spans columns has no GFM syntax, an image is deliberately a link on the write side, and a slide boundary is not a thing to lay out. read/blocks.ts imports the five kinds where the two agree plus the whole inline vocabulary, so the renderers keep exhaustive kind switches with no default. The two models meet at Markdown text, and the escaping that makes that honest lives beside the parser and answers with the parser's own regexes.

Structure is recovered, never guessed.

Format What it reads now
DOCX styles.xml + w:basedOn chain — 제목 1 and Überschrift 1 work, where matching Heading1 never did; numbering.xml for ordered lists; the body's rels for link targets and pictures; w:jc for column alignment; w:vMerge's inverted default
HWPX Contents/header.xml → hh:heading, 한글's one outline mechanism. Took it from no structure at all
ODF text:outline-level, list depth, automatic styles for order and emphasis, links, pictures
PPTX p:ph/@type for titles, p:sp shape boundaries, the deck order presentation.xml states
RTF \outlinelevel with \pard, {\listtext} capture, a group state stack, real tables, picture markers
XLSX TRUE/FALSE instead of 0/1; styles.xml → ISO dates, with the 1900 leap-year bug and the 1904 epoch
HWP 5.x The record nesting level. No heading levels, and it says so — the layouts are unverified against the spec, and a wrong offset answers confidently with the wrong one

Every extra part is enrichment: missing, malformed or self-contradicting leaves a flat paragraph. Each format reads its extras in the same read() call, because unzipSync walks the archive per call.

A list whose markers are characters is still a list. Three writers draw the marker rather than use their format's numbering — this repository's own among them — and each says so its own way: a hanging indent in DOCX and HWPX, an explicit a:buNone in PPTX, {\listtext …} in RTF. What was drawn is reported: a deck that split a numbered list and drew 15. on the second slide comes back saying 15, because counting from one there would claim the list restarted.

The cut moved into the serializer. truncateText slices a finished string, and a table cut between its header and its divider is not a table when read back. The budget is spent on block boundaries and, inside a table, on rows.

inspect_document is a line grammar, not JSON. The caller cuts a tool result at a fixed length; a truncated JSON document is a total loss where a truncated line grammar loses its last line. It also lets the provenance header stay. XLSX is refused by name.

0 heading level=1 chars=3 "보고서"
2 table rows=2 cols=2 header=stated align=left,right
  row header
    cell "항목"

Defects fixed along the way, several pre-existing:

  • ODF had no text gate, so tracked-change deletions, comment bodies and author names, footnotes and an ODP's speaker notes were returned as body text — while omissions claimed otherwise. A footnote's own </text:p> also cut its host paragraph in half.
  • ODF ignored table:number-columns-repeated and table:covered-table-cell, so every value after a repeat run or a merge landed in the wrong column.
  • DOCX let w:numPr overwrite w:pStyle, so a numbered heading lost its level — the ordinary shape of a Korean or legal template. w:numId="0" was read as a list.
  • attributeOf existed in four copies; three matched double quotes only and none decoded entities, so a sheet named A&B came back as ## A&amp;B.
  • The Markdown parser did not accept an escaped bracket in a link label, and ***bold italic*** parsed as neither.
  • An image's alt text was not escaped: an alt of a](x) b invented a link to x and lost the caption.

Breaking Changes

read_document's output shape changes for every format — blocks are separated by a blank line, tables are GFM, emphasis and links carry their markup. Around forty reader assertions moved with it. omissions is now static plus observed: what the format never reads, then what this document lost.

Test Plan

  • 435 tests, npm run typecheck, npm run build, npm run demo — all clean.
  • A round-trip suite (src/read/roundtrip.test.ts) is the evidence that survives this change, since the moved assertions are not: demo-doc.md through the DOCX, PPTX and HWPX renderers and back, asserting heading levels, table columns and alignment, list order and depth, bold and link targets.
  • An inline round-trip table in markdown.test.ts is the specification for the escaping: a|b, # not a heading, ---, ```, :::cards, |---|, snake_case_name, 1. not a list, [not](a link, text with ] bracket.
  • Regression pin: a prose document with no table, list or heading comes back exactly as before.
  • Marker inflation measured on the demo report: 3,512 → 3,876 characters (10%), well under the 20-40% that would have put complete at risk.

`read_document` returned every format as one line after another, and the part a
reader was going to use went with the shape: a table's columns, a contract's
numbering, which line was a title. It comes back as Markdown that keeps them —
real GFM tables with their column alignment, lists that count and nest,
headings at their level, links with their targets, a mark where a picture
stood — and `inspect_document` carries what Markdown has no syntax for: which
cells a merge covers, which row the document itself called a header, how deep a
list nests, where a shape sat on its slide.

**A read model, not the write union.** `markdown.ts`'s `Block` is, in its own
words, the greatest common denominator of what four renderers can draw; a
reader's subject is what a file contained, which no renderer bounds. A cell that
spans columns has no GFM syntax, an image is deliberately a link on the write
side, and a slide boundary is not a thing to lay out. `read/blocks.ts` imports
the five kinds where the two agree plus the whole inline vocabulary and adds
only what reading needs, so the renderers keep exhaustive `kind` switches with
no `default`. The two models meet at Markdown text, which they already both
speak. The escaping that makes that meeting honest lives beside the parser and
answers with the parser's own regexes.

**Structure is recovered, never guessed.** DOCX reads `styles.xml` and follows
`w:basedOn`, so `제목 1` and `Überschrift 1` work where matching `Heading1`
never did; `numbering.xml` says whether a list counts; the body's rels say where
a link points and which part a picture is — all three in the same `read()`,
because `unzipSync` walks the archive per call. HWPX reads `Contents/header.xml`
for `hh:heading`, 한글's one outline mechanism, which takes it from no structure
at all. ODF reads `text:outline-level`, which sat on the element being opened.
PPTX reads `p:ph/@type` and the deck order `presentation.xml` states rather than
the numbers its slides were named with. RTF reads `\outlinelevel` — with `\pard`
in the same change, since one heading would otherwise spread to every paragraph
after it. HWP 5.x reads none and says so: the record layouts are unverified
against the spec, and a wrong offset resolves to a real shape and answers
confidently with the wrong level.

Every extra part is enrichment. Missing, malformed or self-contradicting leaves
a flat paragraph, never a guessed level.

**A list whose markers are characters is still a list.** Three writers draw the
marker rather than use their format's numbering, this repository's own among
them, and each says so its own way: a hanging indent in DOCX and HWPX, an
explicit `a:buNone` in PPTX, `{\listtext …}` in RTF. What was drawn is what is
reported — a deck that split a numbered list and drew `15.` on the second slide
comes back saying 15, because counting from one there would claim the list
restarted.

**The cut moved into the serializer.** `truncateText` slices a finished string,
and a table cut between its header and its divider is not a table when it is
read back. The budget is spent on block boundaries and, inside a table, on rows.

Three shared helpers stop being four copies: `localName` and an `attributeOf`
that reads single quotes and decodes entities — which fixes a sheet named `A&B`
coming back as `## A&amp;B` — and the drawn-marker shape. Two parser defects go
with them: a link label holding an escaped bracket was not a link, and
`***bold italic***` parsed as neither.

`inspect_document` is a line grammar rather than JSON because the caller cuts a
result at a fixed length, and a truncated JSON document is a total loss where a
truncated line grammar loses its last line. It refuses XLSX by name.
Four ways the serializer said something the document did not, all found by
writing a block and parsing it again.

**An image's alt text was not escaped**, and it is a link label — a bracket in
one ends the label early. An alt of `a](x) b` wrote `![a](x) b](m.png)`, which
reads back as a *link to `x`* followed by stray characters: the caption gone and
an address nobody wrote in its place. `renderImage` now owns both halves beside
the parser it has to invert, so the target goes through the same angle-bracket
rule a link's does.

**A break's name could hold a newline**, and a heading is one line: the rest
became a paragraph sitting between the boundary and what follows it.

**A code block's language could hold backticks**, which closed the fence it was
supposed to open. `FENCE` captures `[^`\s]*`, so `fenceLanguage` gives it one
word and no backticks.

**A relationship target written absolute got the base twice.** `/word/media/x.png`
became `word/word/media/x.png`; a leading slash already means the package root.
`partOfTarget` is the one place that decides, for DOCX and PPTX alike.

In `@docs/reading.md`:
- Around line 86-98: Remove the stale duplicated paragraphs covering the
numbered-heading behavior and repeated or covered table cells, including the
contradictory claim that such cells still cost a separator; retain the newer
copies describing the current reader behavior.

In `@src/markdown.ts`:
- Around line 540-550: Update fenceInline to add a single space between each
code-span fence and its text, preserving that padding through the parser’s
existing trim behavior so text beginning or ending with backticks round-trips
unchanged.

In `@src/read/inspect.ts`:
- Around line 178-201: Update the result metadata in the block-inspection loop
so an empty write caused by the first block exceeding MAX_TEXT_CHARS does not
report to equal from. Use the last successfully written block to represent the
actual window, preserving the no-progress state for callers that page with from
= to + 1; adjust the complete calculation consistently around last and the
existing total/from values.

In `@src/read/odf.ts`:
- Around line 516-532: Update finishTable so it records the nested-table
observation before the empty-table guard; preserve the existing early return for
tables with no rows or columns and ensure "a table nested inside a cell" is
reported whenever this.tables still contains an outer table.
- Around line 325-337: Update the "image" handling branch in the ODF reader to
detect when cellDepth indicates the image is inside a table cell, record it as
an unsupported “pictures inside table cells” case, and return before calling
endParagraph or adding an image block; preserve the existing behavior for images
outside table cells.

In `@src/read/pptx.test.ts`:
- Around line 153-158: Add an explicit assertion that the table lookup in the
slideXmlToBlocks test returns a table before the existing property assertions
and kind guard, ensuring the test fails when no table block is emitted while
preserving the current column, row, colspan, and merged checks.

Apply the same fix in `@src/read/docx.test.ts` around lines 228 - 233: Apply the
same existence assertion to the cell-span test.

In `@src/read/pptx.ts`:
- Around line 241-244: Update the "br" case in the run-processing handler to
apply the same cellDepth guard used by the "p" close handler before calling
endParagraph(), preserving the soft-break behavior outside table cells while
keeping breaks inside a:tc within the enclosing table block.
- Around line 338-353: Update the covered-cell detection in the tc handling
block to use the existing on helper, so hMerge and vMerge are considered true
only when their values indicate an active merge rather than merely when the
attributes are present. Preserve the table.span and table.down calculations and
ensure ordinary cells with hMerge="0" or vMerge="0" remain serialized.
- Around line 294-305: Update the run-start handling in the “r” case of the XML
handler to reset href alongside emphasis before processing each new run,
preventing a prior self-closing hlinkClick target from carrying into subsequent
runs.

In `@src/read/rtf.ts`:
- Around line 231-246: Update endParagraph so paragraph runs are preserved when
inTable is true instead of being discarded, and join successive cell paragraphs
with a space; ensure this also preserves text flushed by picture() and done()
when called inside an open table. Decide the existing picture() in-table
behavior consistently with the project’s cell-image handling, without changing
non-table paragraph processing.

In `@src/read/serialize.ts`:
- Around line 192-206: Update the table serialization loop so kept counts the
header row when it is written, ensuring a fully serialized table reports rows
equal to totalRows while preserving the existing data-row counting and
truncation behavior.

In `@src/read/xlsx.ts`:
- Around line 75-80: Update the applyNumberFormat check in the style/date
detection logic to treat both "0" and "false" as disabled, preventing date
formatting when either OOXML spelling is used. Preserve the existing
DATE_FORMATS and looksLikeDate conditions for enabled or unspecified values.
- Around line 341-343: Update resolve() in src/read/xlsx.ts at lines 341-343 to
allow both absent and explicit numeric cell types when converting styled serial
dates. Add the styled numeric-cell regression case in src/read/xlsx.test.ts at
lines 198-203 using the specified C1 value and assert its ISO date conversion.

Apply the same fix in `@src/read/xlsx.test.ts` around lines 198 - 203: Add the
explicit `t="n"` styled-date regression case.

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

A nested table is dropped, and the observation that would report it never fires.

cellDepth counts cells across every open table. A cell of a nested table:table therefore opens at cellDepth >= 1, so open("table-cell") skips settle and cellSpan, and close("table-cell") decrements to a value still > 0 and returns before pushing the cell. The nested Building collects no cells, so close("table-row") pushes an empty row and columns stays 0.

finishTable then returns at the table.columns === 0 guard, before this.observed.add("a table nested inside a cell"). The nested table's structure is lost, and omissions says nothing about it. The text still survives as flat runs inside the outer cell, so the loss is silent.

Record the observation before the empty-table guard, so the reported loss matches the module's contract.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

hMerge="0" and vMerge="0" drop a cell that is not merged.

covered tests only for attribute presence. Both attributes are booleans with a default of false, so a writer may emit hMerge="0" on an ordinary cell. That cell is then never pushed and its text disappears. The on helper at Line 103 already answers this question.

Read applyNumberFormat="false" as off, the same as "0".

The check is applies !== "0". OOXML boolean attributes also take false. A style that carries numFmtId="14" applyNumberFormat="false" then counts as a date style, and its plain numbers come back as dates. toggled in src/read/docx.ts (Line 282) already handles both spellings for the same reason.

Date-styled numeric cells with an explicit numeric type are returned as serial numbers.

The date-conversion branch accepts only an absent cell type, but SpreadsheetML may declare numeric cells with t="n". Such cells therefore bypass ISO date conversion. Widen the condition to accept both the absent type and "n", and add a regression test using a styled cell with t="n".

This causes supported spreadsheets to return incorrect values for valid date cells.

A review of this branch found the class it was written to remove, inside it. Six
are silent data corruption and several reproduce on files this repository's own
writers produce.

**A link outlived its run.** `a:hlinkClick` is self-closing in every deck — the
PPTX renderer here emits it that way — and a self-closing tag gets no `close`,
which is the only place the href was cleared. Every paragraph after a link
became that link, so a slide handed the model addresses the document never
offered.

**An escaped delimiter closed the emphasis it was escaped inside.**
`*SELECT \* FROM t*` came back as the run `SELECT \` with ` FROM t*` beside it:
a backslash in the prose and the asterisk moved to the end. The emphasis
patterns now take a backslash together with the character after it, so an
escaped delimiter can never be read as the closing one.

**A vertical merge shifted the row below it.** DOCX says `restart` and
`continue` rather than a count, so the count has to be made; without a `rowspan`
the serializer's grid reserved nothing and every value in the continuing row
moved one column left. A merged category column is an ordinary table.

**A table inside an annotation finished the table around it.** `open` did not
push inside a skipped subtree and `close` popped anyway, so a 2×2 table came
back as one paragraph.

**Two self-closing elements raised a depth that never came down.** `<w:pPr/>`
read as "always inside paragraph properties", so every `w:b` after it was taken
for a paragraph mark's own formatting and the file returned with no emphasis at
all; `<w:drawing/>` read as "still inside a drawing", so every later picture was
taken for an `mc:AlternateContent` duplicate and none was reported. `w:t` has
guarded against exactly this since it was written.

**A paragraph break inside an RTF cell discarded what the cell had said.** The
runs were cleared before the in-table check read them.

And five more of the same shape: a `<a:br/>`, a picture and a nested table each
pushed their cell's words out of the table as a paragraph; an ODF heading inside
a cell left its level to the first body paragraph after the table, inventing a
heading; a `!` beside a link spelled `![` and turned the link into an image; the
RTF marker capture ended at any `}` rather than its own, leaking `1.` into the
prose; `\uc0` ate the character after every escape and latin1 turned `\'92` into
an invisible control character where `\ansi` means a right single quote.

`inspect_document` claimed a block was described when it had written nothing,
so a caller paging by `from = to + 1` stepped over it forever; a list or a code
block ignored the budget and became all-or-nothing while still denying it to the
blocks after them; a table written whole reported "1 of 2 rows".

**And a denial of service that predates this branch.** `MAX_MARKDOWN_CHARS` of
`[` with no `](` after them backtracked once per bracket: 64,000 took 2.6
seconds and half a million held a single-threaded server for minutes. A link
needs a closing `](`, and looking for one first turns the cost of not being a
link into a single scan — 64,000 now takes 34ms.

Three fields were declared and never filled. `Marks.revision` is filled now,
from `w:ins`, because a tracked insertion's text is `w:t` like any other and
nothing else says the paragraph is a proposal; `ReadImage.bytes` comes off the
central directory, which is what "inflates nothing" meant; `Marks.list` is gone.

`src/read/review.test.ts` pins all of it — each case verified to fail with its
fix removed.
A review of the whole repository rather than of this branch. Every correctness
finding below is the same shape as the ones the last two commits removed: the
call succeeds, the document opens, and the answer is wrong in a way nothing
downstream can detect.

**`inspect_spreadsheet` threw away sheets it had already read.** The formatter
read `inspection.complete` — the *parser's* verdict, that it stopped at
`MAX_INSPECTED_CELLS` — as a reason to stop writing, and broke after the first
sheet. A three-sheet workbook came back holding one: five thousand inspected
cells discarded with thirty thousand characters of text budget unspent, and
nothing in the answer saying the second sheet existed. Two budgets, and only the
formatter's own may stop its loop.

**An HWP that was cut said it was whole.** `hwpToText` serialized its own text
against `MAX_TEXT_CHARS` and dropped what `blocksToMarkdown` reported about the
cut; `document.ts` then checked truncation again on a string that could no
longer be over the limit. A 200,000-character document came back at 89,804
claiming `complete: true`, "all 1 section(s)" and "400 of 400 blocks" — four
statements, none of them true. It goes through `wrote()` now, with every other
format, and is `hwpToBlocks` because that is what it returns.

**A PDF left out the bold face a document needed.** `usesBold` walked the
parser's top-level blocks, and a page renderer unwraps `:::` directives — so a
document whose headings or `**bold**` sat inside one answered `false`, no bold
face was embedded, and everything this renderer sets in bold came out at body
weight. `### 제목` inside `:::cards` is the documented way to ask for a card.
The text extracts perfectly; it is only wrong to look at.

**Every unaddressed cell was reported at column A.** `@r` is optional, and the
next column was read off the row being built — which the inspection pass never
builds. Three values came back at `A1`, from the one tool whose whole contract
is the address a value sits at.

**A self-closing `<draw:frame/>` lent its name to the next picture.** It gets no
close event, so the name stayed set and the following image wore somebody else's
caption. The same guard `w:t` and `w:pPr` carry on the DOCX side.

**A failure the caller did not cause reported the runtime's own message.**
`errors.ts` says a non-`DocumentError` is reported "without the detail, because
a stack-shaped string in a tool result teaches a model nothing and can carry
more about this process than the caller should have" — and five call sites
passed `error.message` straight through. One fixed sentence now, with the detail
where `logError` already put it.

**`MAX_BODY_BYTES` was a constant nothing consulted.** `limits.ts` described a
413 that did not exist: neither the routing nor the SDK's Node adapter weighed a
request, and `MAX_SOURCE_BYTES` can only be applied after the whole body is
buffered and its base64 decoded — by which point a single-threaded process has
already held whatever was sent. `Content-Length` is read ahead of the transport
now, declared rather than counted: a byte counter would switch the request into
flowing mode and the adapter builds its reader lazily, so the first chunks would
be gone before it looked. A body that states no length is answered 411.

That gate, and the three beside it, were the part of this server no test could
reach — `server.ts` binds a port on import. The routing moves to `http.ts`,
which `http.test.ts` drives over a bound socket, including one case that takes
the SDK's own client all the way through: the `Content-Length` rule is a bet
that every client sends one, and that test is the bet written down.

**The workbook writer was outside the design system.** Its header band was a
hand-typed `FF1F4E78`, one digit off the palette entry it had been copied from —
the drift `theme.ts` exists to make impossible. It reads `designFor().table`,
which is the pair the other four renderers set a header row with.

**`npm run build` did not clear `dist/`.** `tsc` does not, so the output
directory still held the compiled remains of the S3 store, the tenant key, the
SSRF guard, the fetch and the ULID that names a key nothing writes any more. The
image was never affected — it builds in a fresh layer from `src/` alone — but a
stale `dist/` is a build that can resolve a module the source no longer has.

`src/id.ts` goes with them, and with it `originOf`, `truncateText`,
`DocumentSource.charset`, the timeout branch of a `describe` that no longer has
a request to time out, and a comment about a bucket name.
