Three hand-laid OOXML containers, every part written out by hand and zipped
with a fixed date_time so they are byte-reproducible. No converter output
anywhere in them: a .docx written by the converter and read by the converter
proves only that the converter agrees with itself, and would stay green through
any conversion defect that is symmetric -- which is most of them.
two-line-krav.docx heading + label/value on one line (the docx mirror of
the PDF fixture)
no-styles-krav.docx the SAME document without word/styles.xml
two-line-krav.xlsx sheet name as heading + label/value on one row
THE FIXTURES FOUND A REAL DEFECT IN THE SEAM THEY WERE MEANT TO PIN. The
converter call used pypandoc's TEXT entry point, which takes an `encoding`
because it treats its source as text -- and that corrupts a zip. The xlsx
fixture failed with `Failed to unpack XLSX archive: not enough bytes` while
reading correctly from disk with the same binary. The docx of the same shape
happened to survive, which is the part worth writing down: the defect is silent
for some inputs and fatal for others, so "it worked on the file I tried" was
never evidence. Input now goes through a temporary file.
Two measurements while building, both the same shape -- structurally valid
input, silently reduced output, exit code 0, no warning:
- Without word/styles.xml the docx extracts as flat prose with no heading. A
fixture lacking that part would pin the body and pin nothing about structure.
Committed as a negative control that RUNS rather than a sentence in a README.
- With inline strings rather than a shared string table, the xlsx extracts with
the sheet name intact and every cell value gone. The fixture uses a dimension
element and a shared string table instead.
The frozen literals are pinned to a NAMED converter version, asserted beside
them: a frozen literal without one says "these bytes" without saying what
produced them.
Suite 908 -> 913. Fixtures regenerate byte-identically.
