Compare PDF v4 — one engine for every PDF

tools

The fourth Compare PDF engine replaces the three-mode pipeline with one engine that reconstructs each PDF into a structured model and compares the models as documents. It ships against a scored synthetic corpus with a no-regression ratchet; the design and its research live in .kb/work/2026-09-20-compare-pdf-v4-single-engine-design.md and .kb/research/compare-pdf/.

Open items on this card are the v4.1 scope: layer visibility and signature state, and unit-aware dimension semantics. Scanned-page work is planned for later, after born-digital drawings and documents.
