The converter binary is vendored as a pinned wheel in the [extract] extra
rather than resolved from PATH. Three measurements retired the alternative:
the xlsx and pptx readers exist only from pandoc 3.8.3 while Debian 12 ships
2.17.1.1 and Ubuntu 24.04 ships 3.1.3; the docx reader changed its output in
at least 22 of the 3.x releases; and Quarto and pypandoc-binary already made
this call. Two consequences are recorded because they are easy to get wrong:
the single-runtime-dependency rule is untouched, since the extra sits outside
it by construction, and the model-free gate keeps subprocess in its
alternation, since src/ imports a package instead of spawning a process.
One trap is recorded because it is invisible when it fires: pypandoc searches
PATH before its own bundled binary and takes the highest version it finds, so
on a host with a newer system pandoc the vendored wheel is bypassed without a
word and the determinism guarantee goes with it.
Judgement lives in tools/, outside the run path, as versioned data. The
verdict carries its dwell time, because a ratified flag with no per-item time
cannot be falsified. Rejecting is one keystroke and correcting optional,
because requiring a typed correction was measured to reduce flagging. The
model leg is off by default so its value can be measured.
A sixth profile carries both okf_version and bundle_id rather than extending
SEGMENTED_V1, which would have rested on an unverifiable claim about whether
another repository had adopted it.
