Tanish MankuandClaude 681548a47f Add a PR template, and record the review practice and external-PR bar
Replaces this PR's earlier contents. It previously added a committed
`docs/plan/` tree -- a status baseline, an architecture doc and an
execution plan. Since then `main` has grown `docs/gaps.md`,
`docs/target-app-parity.md`, `docs/roadmap.md` and `docs/architecture.md`,
which are actively maintained (gaps.md was reviewed 2026-10-10 and
updated 2026-10-11) and cover the same ground better, because they sit in
the flow contributors already touch. Keeping a parallel plan would have
meant two sources of truth and a document that rots; it had already gone
conflicting twice in three days. So the plan is dropped and only the
parts with no equivalent anywhere remain.

`.github/pull_request_template.md` is new -- the repository had none,
with 167 PRs open and 66 of them conflicting. It leads with the two
things a contributor cannot be expected to know and that cannot be undone
after a merge: provenance (no Adobe asset, no committed font, no copied
GPL/AGPL code, behaviour from the spec rather than from reading another
implementation) and the never-crash rules. It also asks for a test that
has been *seen to fail* before the fix, and says plainly that per-crate
verification is preferred because CI runs the workspace anyway.

CLAUDE.md gains three things it did not record: the four-zoom review
habit (clause, function, file, project) with the tests that mirror it;
the external-PR bar; and a note that builds and tests should be scoped
per crate, because a full workspace build has locked up a development
machine and CI covers it. The commit rule now also says that `main` moves
fast enough for PRs to rot -- 396 commits in three days -- and that
conflict risk tracks how contested the files are rather than how large
the change is.

<!--
Thanks for contributing to PdfCraft.
Base this on `main` — it is the only integration branch. `main` moves fast (it took
396 commits in the three days to 2026-10-12), so a PR that sits for a day usually needs
a rebase. Rebasing the same day you are asked keeps the work from dying of conflicts.
Delete any section below that does not apply.

## What this changes
<!-- What behaviour is different afterwards, and why it is worth doing. If it fixes an
issue, say `Fixes #123`. -->
## How you verified it
<!-- The commands you ran and what they said. Per-crate is fine and preferred:
`cargo test -p <crate>`. CI runs the full workspace on every PR, so you do not
need to locally. -->
- [ ] `cargo fmt --check`
- [ ] clippy with `-D warnings` on the crates I changed
- [ ] tests pass on the crates I changed
- [ ] `cargo xtask layers` and `cargo xtask assets` (if you touched crate boundaries or any asset)
**Tests.** New behaviour needs a test at the right scale — a property test, a unit test, a
crate integration test or an end-to-end one. For a bug fix, **please check that the test
fails before your fix** by reverting the fix and watching it go red. A test nobody has seen
fail is not evidence that it pins anything.
## Never-crash
Every PDF, script, MCP call, settings file and keystroke is untrusted input (`AGENTS.md` §4).
- [ ] No new `unwrap`/`expect`/`panic!`/`unreachable!`/`todo!` outside tests, unless it is
provably infallible with a comment saying why
- [ ] No indexing or slicing with input-derived positions (`get`, and strings only at char
boundaries); checked or saturating arithmetic; allocations sized by input are capped;
recursion is bounded
- [ ] No `unsafe`
- [ ] Any crash this fixes has a small synthetic regression test
## Provenance
This is the part that cannot be undone after a merge, and the part a new contributor is
least likely to know about. Please read `AGENTS.md` §1 before adding any asset.
- [ ] No asset from an Adobe product, and no Adobe icon recreated, traced or imitated
- [ ] No font files committed here (they live in
[storytold/craft-fonts](https://github.com/storytold/craft-fonts))
- [ ] No GPL/AGPL code copied in — MuPDF, Ghostscript, Poppler, veraPDF and DSS may only be
run as external oracle processes
- [ ] Behaviour comes from the specification or black-box observation, **not** from reading
another implementation's source
- [ ] Every new asset has an `ATTRIBUTION.toml` entry and `cargo xtask assets` passes
## Security
- [ ] `--root` confinement still holds on every path, including ones reached by nested
tool dispatch
- [ ] MCP and the UI control channel stay opt-in, loopback-only and token-authenticated
- [ ] No new outbound network access (that decision is the owner's)
## Parity and reach
- [ ] `parity/acrobat-features.toml` updated in this PR, with `notes` saying what is *still*
missing — `shipped` means "exists and tested", not "as good as Acrobat"
- [ ] Reachable headlessly through an `automation` tool where that applies (`AGENTS.md` §3),
so agents can drive it and not just the UI
- [ ] Docs updated if this changes a documented behaviour (`docs/`, crate README)
## Anything a reviewer should look at first
<!-- The judgement call you are least sure about, a deliberate restraint you want pinned,
or a behaviour change existing users will notice. Say so here rather than leaving it
to be found. -->
