# Implementer log

One row per task session that ends in a commit. Newest last.

| Task | Date | Status | Sessions | Gate | Deviations | Summary |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| p5a/01-kind-fetch | 2026-09-25 | done | resumed | gate: ok | none | Implemented Kind/`application/pdf` recognition, PDF body cap (100 MB) and deadline (120 s), and FetchIf with If-None-Match/If-Modified-Since via shared doFetch. Previous session could not pass TestFetchIf only because the given test held its mutex across the handler (deadlock); owner fixed the test. Session resumed after that fix — did not rewrite fetch code, only verified rules and ran gate. |
| p5a/02-pdftext | 2026-09-25 | done | 1 | gate: ok | none | Built the child-extraction package: `Extract` (reader.Open with ErrWrongPassword→ErrEncrypted, per-page recover, trailer /Info /Title, rule-3 UTF-16BE/Latin-1 decode), `outline.go` (/Dest and /GoTo /A dests, 10k-item and no-double-visit bounds, never-nil outline), `Runner` (re-exec'd child, env-isolated via empty env, 60 s deadline, 64 MiB output cap, 200 MiB stdin cap, stderr capped at 4 KiB, exit-code→error mapping, Doc parse plus ErrNoText), and the `sift pdftext` case in main.go. Removed the tools.go module pin; go.mod/go.sum/vendor/modules.txt confirmed unchanged. All 10 given tests pass under -race -count=3 including the deadline-kill test; make gate ok; given files byte-identical; `printf nope | bin/sift pdftext` exits 4. |
| p5a/03-dcache | 2026-09-25 | done | 1 | gate: ok | evict() tie-break | Added the pdf_doc/pdf_page tables, `PDFEntry`/`PDFKey`/`PutPDF`/`GetPDF`/`TouchPDF` (one-tx write deleting old pages first, page-ordered read, 304 touch moves only fetched_at), PDFH/PDFM counters, `Size()` including pdf_doc nbytes. One deviation: extended the eviction union with `pdf_doc` and added `rowid ASC` to the ORDER BY so same-second puts evict in insertion order (deterministic whole-document eviction); without it TestPDFEviction is order-dependent. Left Stats() signature unchanged for task 07. Given test byte-identical. |
| p5a/04-pdfpool | 2026-09-25 | done | 1 | gate: ok | none | Implemented the generic scheduler. `Pool` holds one mutex, a `jobs` map (key→in-flight job), a `callerJobs` map (caller→their job), and a FIFO `waiters` line. `Do` applies the six rules in order: join (counted in `Waiting`, no slot, allowed while the caller holds another job, `fn` may be nil), caller-busy, then slot/queue/refuse. A job's result is broadcast to every sharer via a `done` channel; results are not cached (key forgotten on finish). `fn` runs under `context.WithoutCancel` so the flight outlives a caller that leaves. Panic in `fn` is recovered into an error, freed the slot and caller. One implementation finding (not a plan deviation): queued jobs must not be counted in `Running()`, so `startLocked` only registers a job and a separate `takeSlotLocked`/`grant` increments the slot count — abandoning a queued starter (`abandon`) releases sharers without touching the slot. Given test byte-identical. |
