# MKTF-WP-0003: Source Attachment Manifest Compatibility

## Purpose

Provide the read-side source attachment and asset metadata needed by the
Markitect render reference and asset manifest contract without making
`markitect-filter` a renderer or export pipeline.

`markitect-filter` owns concrete source-format normalization. It should expose
attachments, embedded media, package resources, and related provenance as
normalized source metadata that `markitect-tool` can consume when building a
render asset manifest.

## Boundary

`markitect-filter` owns:

- source-format-specific attachment discovery
- read-side source asset metadata
- media type, extension, size, and digest capture where available
- provenance back to package paths, pages, anchors, or source members
- diagnostics for skipped or unsupported embedded resources
- fixtures proving EPUB3 and PDF adapters preserve read-side asset metadata

`markitect-filter` does not own:

- write/export adapters
- renderer execution
- output asset copying
- final render artifact paths
- publication lifecycle or durable artifact storage
- Quarkdown invocation

Those responsibilities belong to `markitect-tool` contracts,
`markitect-quarkdown` render integration, or later runtime/publication systems.

## Implementation Summary

Completed as a read-side attachment metadata compatibility slice:

- Added shared source attachment metadata helpers and exported
  `markitect-filter.source-attachment.v1`.
- EPUB3 read results now populate `NormalizedMarkdownDocument.attachments` for
  package images, stylesheets, fonts, audio, and video with byte size, digest,
  package path, manifest id, href, and render-manifest compatibility metadata.
- PDF read results now populate attachments for embedded file streams and
  signal-only image resources where the stdlib parser can detect them.
- Unsupported EPUB resources, missing EPUB resources, PDF image signals, and
  unreadable embedded files produce structured diagnostics.
- Docs, handoff fixtures, adapter descriptors, README notes, and tests were
  added without introducing renderer/export behavior.

## P3.1 - Align attachment metadata with Markitect source contracts

```task
id: MKTF-WP-0003-T001
status: done
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "d119daca-8141-4662-8ad7-ce43ccd79044"
```

Confirm how existing `markitect_tool.source.SourceAsset` and
`NormalizedMarkdownDocument.attachments` should be populated by concrete read
adapters.

Output: compatibility note, adapter metadata conventions, and tests that can be
run with `markitect-tool` on `PYTHONPATH`.

## P3.2 - Add EPUB3 embedded resource metadata

```task
id: MKTF-WP-0003-T002
status: done
priority: medium
state_hub_task_id: "ebcbf480-210d-46e7-a4e4-fbe7e9baa39a"
```

Extend the EPUB3 adapter to report package resources that are relevant to
future render manifests, such as images, stylesheets, fonts, and media where
safe and cheap to inspect.

Output: EPUB3 attachment metadata, provenance, diagnostics, and fixtures.

## P3.3 - Add PDF attachment and image-signal metadata

```task
id: MKTF-WP-0003-T003
status: done
priority: medium
state_hub_task_id: "d8b7b820-387f-4d45-bf22-296b227f917a"
```

Extend the PDF adapter with read-side metadata for attachments or embedded
resource signals where the current dependency profile can expose them
reliably.

Do not add OCR, layout reconstruction, or renderer behavior.

Output: PDF metadata conventions, diagnostics, and tests.

## P3.4 - Preserve checksums and provenance

```task
id: MKTF-WP-0003-T004
status: done
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "ca539c01-c272-4635-8f60-86f870bbef0c"
```

For each attachment or source asset, preserve stable identity fields:

- source URI or package member path
- media type and extension
- byte size where available
- digest/checksum where feasible
- page, anchor, section, or package path provenance
- extraction diagnostics and quality notes

Output: deterministic digest/provenance tests.

## P3.5 - Provide handoff fixtures for render manifests

```task
id: MKTF-WP-0003-T005
status: done
priority: medium
state_hub_task_id: "f2213a20-ce6f-4e16-9b9b-557b99f8b4d1"
```

Add fixtures that `MKTT-WP-0021` can use to prove source attachments flow into
render asset manifests without renderer execution.

Output: fixture files, README/docs update, and cross-repo validation command.

## Exit Criteria

- EPUB3 and PDF read adapters can expose read-side asset metadata when present.
- Unsupported or skipped resources produce structured diagnostics.
- `markitect-filter` remains read-only and does not implement export/render
  behavior.
- `markitect-tool` can consume the metadata for passive render asset manifests.
