Follow-up to #240. A simplification review of that diff produced seven findings; this branch applies all of them. No behaviour change except where noted below — one test gap is closed, and one latent bug hazard is removed.

Six commits, each independent and readable on its own.

Frontend: LayoutItem's nine positional parameters

The only item here with real bug surface. LayoutItem took nine positional parameters; five were optional and four were consecutive string | null (parentRef, contentLayer, text, html). Transposing any two compiled and type-checked clean, and would have silently shipped wrong data to a provenance overlay.

That hazard was confirmed by mutation before anything was changed: swapping text and html at the sole call site left the repository suite green. So the test gap was fixed first — the new assertions go red under that mutation — and then the signature. The constructor now takes a LayoutItemFields object and owns its defaults, so the mapping in toLayoutItem is name-to-name and the five ?? null guards at the call site go with it.

Server: three opens collapsed into one handle

maybe_compact opened each dataset three times per pass — once inside fragment_count, once to compact, once more to clean up versions. Whether the handle goes stale after compact_files was checked against the pinned lance rather than assumed: it advances in place, and the same object reports the post-compaction fragment count and version. One handle covers all three, and the None case the third open never guarded is now explicit.

fragment_count had that one production caller, so it is inlined rather than left as a wrapper. The test that forced the failure path through it now raises from open; removing the blanket except still turns that test red.

Server: parser registry out of __init__.py

_PYMUPDF_AVAILABLE tracked exactly what "pymupdf" in _PARSERS already answers, and its sole reader was default_parser_name. The membership test replaces it, so the registry dict is the only record of what is installed.

The registry itself moves to parsers/registry.py, leaving __init__.py empty. It held executable code, and two of its imports sat mid-file because the registration statements around them needed ordering — both are now at the top of a plain module, the optional pymupdf one still behind its try. Seven call sites import from parsers.registry.

Both branches were exercised: pdf_inspector alone, and pymupdf present via a stubbed module, since the AGPL extra is not installed in this environment.

Server: closure reading out of a literal built above it

The apply closure in document_jobs read combined_result["preprocessing_result"] back out of a dict literal a dozen lines up. Both now reference the same local, so the key cannot be renamed on one side only.

Server: duplicated writer guard and job meta (52ecabee9)

Cherry-picked from the pre-merge branch. create_document_workflow built three job meta dicts differing only by workflow_step; a closure replaces them. Both artifact writers hand-rolled the same guard — an existence query, then is_current_workflow_run, then a skip dict — spelling out four literal reason strings across two modules. writer_skip_reason answers both questions in one call and owns the strings; the generation check is inlined into it rather than layered over it, which would have left is_current_workflow_run with a single consumer. Deletion now short-circuits ahead of the workflow lookup, saving a query on that path. Also: toRelativeRect recomputed what toRect(w, h, 1, 1) already returns.

Verification

Against the recorded pre-change baseline on this branch:

Before After
tests/unit/jobs + workflows + contexts/ocr 190 passed, 2 skipped 190 passed, 2 skipped
DocumentRepository.test.ts 15 passed 16 passed (+1 new)
ruff check src/ 1 error (ASYNC240, helpers.py:511) 1 error, the same one

The remaining ruff error is pre-existing and present in main; it is deliberately untouched. tsc --noEmit and eslint are clean on the touched frontend files, import extralit_server._app succeeds, and scripts/bench_layout_store.py was run end to end after it lost its fragment_count caller.

The one skip in contexts/ocr is test_pymupdf_parser.pypymupdf4llm is not installed locally, also pre-existing.

Not in scope

LayoutPage(pageNo, width, height) and DocumentLayout(documentId, doclingVersion, ...) each carry an adjacent same-typed pair with the same transposition hazard as LayoutItem. Both are outside this review's findings and would be a small follow-up.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Improved PDF processing with selectable parser support and automatic default selection when available.
    • Preserved document layout metadata, including headings, text, HTML, tables, and reading order.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Prevented outdated processing results from overwriting newer workflow results.
    • Skipped writes for documents deleted during processing.
    • Improved layout dataset compaction reliability and cleanup.
  • Tests

    • Expanded coverage for layout metadata, parser selection, workflow handling, and dataset compaction.

Three simplifications, no behaviour change.

`create_document_workflow` built three job meta dicts that differed only by
`workflow_step`; a closure replaces them, so a fourth job cannot drift.

Both artifact writers hand-rolled the same guard: a document-existence query,
then `is_current_workflow_run`, then a skip dict spelling out the reason. That
was four literal reason strings across two modules. `writer_skip_reason` now
answers both questions in one call and owns the strings. Rather than layering it
over `is_current_workflow_run` — which would have left that function with a
single consumer — the generation check is inlined into it. Deletion
short-circuits ahead of the workflow lookup, saving a query on that path.

The job tests drove the deleted-document branch through `db.scalar`; with the
guard mocked they now drive it by return value, and the branch logic is tested
directly in test_workflow_generation.py, which gains a case asserting deletion
wins over supersession.

`toRelativeRect` recomputed what `toRect(w, h, 1, 1)` already returns.
`LayoutItem` took nine positional parameters, five of them optional and four
consecutive `string | null`. Transposing any two of those four compiled and
type-checked clean, and would have shipped wrong data to a provenance overlay.
Confirmed by mutation: swapping `text` and `html` at the sole call site left the
repository suite green.

The constructor now takes a `LayoutItemFields` object and owns the defaults, so
the mapping in `toLayoutItem` is name-to-name and the five `?? null` guards at
the call site go with it. The test that stayed green under the mutation now
asserts `text` and `html` on both a text item and a table.
`maybe_compact` opened every dataset three times per pass: once inside
`fragment_count`, once to compact, and once more to clean up versions. Lance
advances the handle in place when `compact_files` commits — verified against the
pinned lance, where the same object reports the post-compaction fragment count
and version — so one handle covers all three, and the None case the third open
never guarded is now explicit.

`fragment_count` had that one production caller, so it is inlined rather than
left as a wrapper. The tests that used it to measure fragments get a local
helper, and the one that forced the failure path through it now raises from
`open`; removing the blanket `except` still turns that test red.
The `apply` closure read `combined_result["preprocessing_result"]` back out of a
literal built a dozen lines above it. Both now reference the same local, so the
key can no longer be renamed on one side only.
`_PYMUPDF_AVAILABLE` tracked exactly what `"pymupdf" in _PARSERS` already
answers, and its sole reader was `default_parser_name`. The membership test
replaces it, so the registry dict is the only record of what is installed.

The registry itself moves to `parsers/registry.py`, leaving `__init__.py` empty:
it held executable code, and two of its imports sat mid-file because the
registration statements around them needed ordering. Both imports are now at the
top of a plain module, the optional pymupdf one still behind its `try`, and the
seven call sites import from `parsers.registry`.
`fragment_count` went away with the compaction cleanup, and the layout bench was
its last caller outside the tests. Verified by running the bench end to end.

Walkthrough

Changes

Frontend layout mapping

Layer / File(s) Summary
Layout item contract and repository mapping
extralit-frontend/v1/domain/entities/document/DocumentLayout.ts, extralit-frontend/v1/infrastructure/repositories/DocumentRepository.ts, extralit-frontend/v1/infrastructure/repositories/DocumentRepository.test.ts
LayoutItem now accepts a LayoutItemFields object. Optional fields receive normalized defaults. Repository mapping and tests cover heading and table text/HTML values. toRelativeRect delegates normalized conversion to toRect.

Parser registry and layout storage

Layer / File(s) Summary
Parser registry relocation and wiring
extralit-server/src/extralit_server/contexts/ocr/parsers/*, extralit-server/src/extralit_server/api/schemas/v1/workflows.py, extralit-server/src/extralit_server/jobs/ocr_jobs.py, extralit-server/src/extralit_server/workflows/documents.py, extralit-server/tests/unit/api/schemas/v1/test_workflows.py, extralit-server/tests/unit/contexts/ocr/test_*parser.py, extralit-server/tests/unit/workflows/test_document_workflow_layout.py
The parser registry moves to registry.py. Parser registration, lookup, enumeration, and default selection remain available through the new module path. Imports and tests use that path.
Direct dataset fragment access
extralit-server/src/extralit_server/contexts/ocr/layout_store.py, extralit-server/scripts/bench_layout_store.py, extralit-server/tests/unit/contexts/ocr/test_layout_store.py
maybe_compact uses opened datasets for fragment checks and cleanup. The public fragment_count method is removed. Benchmark and compaction tests use dataset handles.

Workflow writer skip handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Writer skip-reason contract
extralit-server/src/extralit_server/contexts/workflows.py
writer_skip_reason returns "document deleted", "workflow superseded", or None after checking document existence and workflow state.
Job write-path integration and metadata
extralit-server/src/extralit_server/jobs/document_jobs.py, extralit-server/src/extralit_server/jobs/ocr_jobs.py, extralit-server/src/extralit_server/workflows/documents.py
Document and OCR jobs use the shared skip check. Document preprocessing metadata is reused. Workflow metadata is built through a local meta helper.
Skip-reason behavior coverage
extralit-server/tests/unit/jobs/test_document_jobs.py, extralit-server/tests/unit/jobs/test_ocr_jobs.py, extralit-server/tests/unit/workflows/test_workflow_generation.py
Tests cover deleted documents, superseded workflows, current workflows, and writes without workflow rows.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 4a63d

The job can write artifacts after a document is deleted or its workflow is superseded, allowing deleted data to persist or stale results to overwrite newer output. The write sequence should be synchronized and covered by regression tests before merging.

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Serialize the guard with the artifact writes.

writer_skip_reason completes before the thumbnail and PDF writes. A document can be deleted, or its workflow can be superseded, before Lines 97-118 write S3 artifacts or Lines 137-140 update metadata.

For deletion, update_processing_metadata can return "document deleted" only after this job has already stored artifacts. For supersession, no later guard prevents the older job from overwriting the newer workflow output.

Use the same per-document synchronization mechanism in deletion, workflow restart, and this job. Hold it across the skip check, both S3 writes, and the metadata update. Add regression tests that trigger deletion and supersession after the initial check and assert that no stale artifact is stored.

As per coding guidelines, “Background jobs must be idempotent and handle failures gracefully.”
