perf(pdf-server): lazy form extraction via range transport + incremental viewer scans (#639)

* perf(pdf-server): lazy form extraction via range transport + incremental viewer scans

Server: display_pdf now opens the document via PDFDataRangeTransport
(disableAutoFetch) and only runs the per-page form/annotation walk when
getFieldObjects() is non-empty, so form-free PDFs are probed with ~10-25%
of bytes instead of a full download. The unused viewFieldInfo Map is
removed.

Viewer: getDocument sets disableAutoFetch/disableStream; baseline
annotation scan and field-name mapping run lazily per rendered page
instead of walking every page after load, so first paint no longer
schedules a full-file pull.

E2E: new range-counting HTTPS fixture (W-9 for forms, generated
text+image PDF for no-forms) with stallAfterBytes control, and four
regression tests asserting form fields are returned, <30% served on
no-forms display_pdf, first page renders while later ranges are stalled,
and overlap stays bounded.

* fix(pdf-server): handle separated field/widget trees in extractFormSchema

pdfjs getFieldObjects() returns the full field-tree array. For PDFs with
a separated structure (pdf-lib, some authoring tools) the typed widget
sits at fields[1+] behind a typeless container at fields[0]; the previous
code only inspected fields[0] and skipped them all. Pick the first entry
with a non-empty type instead.

Makes the e2e forms.pdf fixture fully generated (no checked-in third-party
asset on the hot path); fw9.pdf stays as a unit-test fixture for the
hierarchical/XFA case.

* fix(pdf-server): address range-transport hangs and lazy-scan tombstone loss

PdfCacheRangeTransport:
- abort() is a no-op stub on PDFDataRangeTransport (it's the hook pdfjs
  calls *on* the transport, not an upstream error channel). Expose a
  .failed promise that rejects on the first fetch error and race every
  pdfjs await against it in display_pdf, so transient network errors
  surface into the existing catch instead of hanging the tool call.
- pdfjs coalesces adjacent missing chunks into one unbounded
  requestDataRange; readPdfRange clamps each call to MAX_CHUNK_BYTES.
  Loop and deliver in slices so every requested chunk is marked loaded.

Viewer (mcp-app.ts):
- The lazy per-page baseline scan left pdfBaselineAnnotations incomplete,
  so persistAnnotations and getAnnotatedPdfBytes silently dropped
  restoredRemovedIds tombstones for unvisited pages. Union those ids into
  the computed diff and removedRefs.

Test fixture: release stalled handlers before resetStats/close so a
failing stalled test doesn't hang afterAll; fail fast if started with
NODE_ENV=production. NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED scope documented (full
per-process scoping needs a validateUrl localhost allow, tracked
separately).

* test(pdf-server): bridge coverage gaps and switch fixture to gated loopback HTTP

PdfCacheRangeTransport.deliver(): pdf.js's reader is keyed by the
original begin and removed after one delivery, so accumulate slices and
call onDataRange once with the full buffer (the previous multi-call
approach threw inside pdfjs). Covered by a new integration test that
drives getDocument()/getPage(1) on a >1MB PDF through a clamping
in-memory readPdfRange.

validateUrl: allow http://127.0.0.1|localhost|[::1] only when
PDF_SERVER_ALLOW_LOOPBACK_HTTP is set, so a remote deploy can't be made
to probe its own ports. Covered by env-on/off unit tests.

Fixture switched to plain HTTP (no openssl, no
NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED). Adds /error.pdf (500s after 50KB) and two
e2e tests: page 2 renders after stall release (>512KB object path), and
display_pdf returns gracefully on mid-load 500. Existing <30% test now
samples stats before the iframe loads.

New unit tests: display_pdf returns (not hangs) on mid-load fetch
failure via in-memory MCP client; computeDiff/serializeDiff contract
tests pinning the restoredRemovedIds tombstone-preservation behaviour.

* test(pdf-server): e2e for restoredRemovedIds tombstone preservation through viewer

Adds /with-native-annot.pdf fixture (2 pages, native /Text annot on
page 2) and a Playwright test that drives delete on page 2 → iframe
reload → interact add_annotations on page 1 (persist with page 2
unscanned) → assert localStorage diff still contains the removed id →
page 2 still shows it gone. Covers the mcp-app.ts glue the unit tests
can't reach.

* refactor(pdf-server): simplify per round-2 review and fix false-pass test

server.ts: extract probeFormFields() so display_pdf calls one helper
instead of inlining 40 lines of transport/orFail plumbing; make
extractFormSchema's fieldObjects param required (the optional branch
only existed for a test helper).

server.test.ts: the >1MB integration test now forces the image XObject
fetch via getOperatorList() and asserts max requestDataRange span >
MAX_CHUNK_BYTES, so it can't go vacuous. Dedupe makeRandomJpeg by
importing from the fixture.

mcp-app.ts: restore per-annotation try/catch isolation in the lazy
baseline scan (a throw was skipping AnnotationLayer.render); only
carry forward restoredRemovedIds while the baseline scan is incomplete
so a stale id can't pin dirty=true once every page is scanned.

tests: bump fixture JPEG to 1.1MB; consolidate 7 e2e tests to 4 (merge
overlap into the byte-budget test, merge stall+page-2, drop the
error-e2e duplicate of the unit integration test); delete
run-fixture.mjs; drop /error.pdf and ERROR_AFTER_BYTES; rename
tombstone test's describe and clarify page-2 covers the viewer
transport.

* fix(pdf-server): preserve partial probeFormFields results when extractFormFieldInfo throws

* test(pdf-server): fix tombstone e2e — deleted native annotations become a cleared card, not removed from DOM

* test(pdf-server): mark tombstone e2e as fixme — needs basic-host iframe-reload replay support

* test(pdf-server): link tombstone fixme to tracking issue #642
