WalkthroughPDF loading now uses bounded, context-aware Poppler operations for text extraction, page counts, and optional rasterization. The pure-Go parser dependency is removed. Tests cover failure states, overflow, deadlines, rendering fallback, page limits, and TUI attachment behavior. ChangesPDF handling
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to The PDF-loading change still has resource-boundary risks: output may be buffered before limits take effect, and diagnostic overflow may leave subprocesses running until the shared deadline. Hostile or malformed PDFs could therefore consume process time and make attachment handling unavailable, so merge should wait for these issues and the related failure-path tests to be fixed or explicitly accepted.

Implemented the currently safe, mergeable improvements in
A remaining parser-boundary decision is needed before this draft should be marked ready. Options:
My recommendation is option 1 unless preserving no-Poppler extraction is a product requirement; if it is, option 2 or 3 is necessary. |

Thanks for splitting it, and for saying plainly in the description that the advisory was withdrawn and this is not a remediation. That is the right framing and it is what I was asking for. #927 is down to the daemon fix in two files now, which I can take on its own. Checked the code here on its merits, separately from the dependency question. The bounding is real: Both recover sites are still in place. On the dependency, which is the actual questionOne thing worth putting on the record before anyone decides, because it changes what the swap means. So it carries I also want to walk back part of what I said on #927. I described it as a thin trust anchor off the star count, and that was unfair to the repo. Looking properly, it carries fuzz tests, a redteam test file, and a large table and layout corpus, with 456 commits from the maintainer. That is a serious body of work, not a drive-by fork. What is left is narrower and still real: one maintainer, no other eyes on it, last push six weeks ago, and it is the component that parses untrusted files a user hands the agent. It also pulls None of that is a no from me. It is a dependency decision for @kevincodex1 rather than something I should wave through in a review, which is why I am leaving this as a comment on the draft rather than a verdict. If he is happy with the parser, the code around it is in good shape. |

Taking the decision rather than sending it upstairs, since it is ours to make: keep the hardening, drop the dependency swap.
I went looking for a reason to say yes and could not find one, so here is the working rather than just the answer.
The swap buys no security
Detective-XH/gopdf is not a different parser. It is the same lineage:
contributors: Detective-XH(456), ledongthuc(38), rsc(9), ...
LICENSE: Copyright (c) 2009 The Go Authors. All rights reserved.
That is rsc.io/pdf through ledongthuc/pdf, which is exactly the family GO-2026-6115 named before it was withdrawn ("rsc.io/pdf and forks"). Had the advisory stood, moving here would not have escaped it. And it has not stood since 18 Aug, with govulncheck clean on main against the current library.
The hardening does not need it
This is the part that decided it. I took your branch, pointed the import back at ledongthuc/pdf, and ran it:
--- PASS: TestPDFOutputReadersAreBounded
--- PASS: TestPDFPageCountIndependentOfTextExtraction
--- PASS: TestResolvePageCountFallsBackToPopplerWhenInProcessIsZero
--- PASS: TestLoadDocumentHostilePDFStaysBounded
--- PASS: TestLoadDocumentVisionUsesText
ok github.com/Gitlawb/zero/internal/imageinput
All five of your new tests, the whole package green, and zero dependency change against main. The only adaptation needed is the extraction loop, because the old API hands back an io.Reader instead of a page slice:
plain, perr := reader.GetPlainText()
if perr != nil { ... }
text, overflow, rerr := readBoundedText(plain)Which is your own readBoundedText, doing what it was written for. The result is fourteen lines shorter than the page loop and drops the context import from that path, since a LimitReader bounds it without needing a timeout to escape.
So what is left is a cost with nothing on the other side
One maintainer, no external review, last push six weeks ago, on the component that parses untrusted files a user hands the agent. Plus golang.org/x/text in the graph, which ends the no-transitive-deps property.
I want to be fair to the repo, and I was not on #927: it carries fuzz tests, a redteam file and a large table and layout corpus over 456 commits. That is real work and I withdraw the "thin trust anchor" line. It is simply not work we need, for a fallback path that only runs when Poppler is absent.
What would change my mind
A demonstrated extraction difference on real PDFs. If gopdf reads documents ours mangles, that is a genuine reason and I would take it on those terms. Nobody has shown one, and this is the fallback rather than the preferred path, so the bar is high.
The hardening itself is good and I want it
Bounding at the reader rather than after the fact, page counting independent of text extraction with the pdfinfo fallback, and the malformed-input coverage are all real improvements. I ran four hostile shapes through LoadDocument with external tools disabled and all four came back as clean errors with nothing escaping the package.
Re-point the import, swap that loop, and I will approve it.

- Around line 391-405: Extend the PDF command test setup around LoadDocument so
command creation and the 30-second deadline are injectable, then add
cross-platform helper-process coverage for pdftotext timeout, oversized output,
pdfinfo oversized output, and command failures. Ensure the tests enable external
tools and exercise actual processing rather than returning early from
disableExternalTools. Preserve TestResolvePageCountUsesPdfinfoWhenAvailable
while verifying bounded output and failed-command handling.
In `@internal/imageinput/pdf.go`:
- Around line 169-176: Update extractTextWithPoppler and LoadDocument to
distinguish an unavailable pdftotext executable from a command execution
failure. Return separate availability and failure status, emit a generic
extraction error without exposing tool stderr for command failures, and provide
platform-neutral Poppler installation guidance only when pdftotext is
unavailable; preserve successful extraction and page-rendering behavior across
Linux, macOS, and Windows.
- Line 305: Update the removed-fallback comment near LoadDocument to reflect the
shipped behavior: when pdftotext does not run and no images exist, LoadDocument
returns an explicit error. Remove the outdated claims that callers use a pure-Go
fallback and that absence is never an error.
- Around line 365-376: Update boundedBuffer.Write to set overflow based on the
retained buffer length exceeding buffer.limit, including when a single write
contains exactly limit+1 bytes; add a regression test covering that boundary and
asserting overflow is true.
In `@internal/tui/image_attach_test.go`:
- Around line 416-422: Add a TUI regression test for PDF extraction failure

In `@internal/tui/image_attach.go`:
- Around line 220-224: Update the documentation for handleDocumentAttach to
state that a LoadDocument error prevents the PDF from being staged, while
acknowledging that pdftotext extraction may fail but rendered doc.Images can
still be staged when rasterization succeeds.

stdout.onOverflow = cancelkillspdftotext,cmd.Run()then returns an error, and the function must still reportpopplerTextExtractedwithoverflow == true.TestPDFOutputReadersAreBoundedcoversboundedBufferin isolation, so the wiring between the buffer, the cancel callback, and the status mapping is untested.Add a helper mode that writes more than

- Gate the child with an environment variable instead of the trailing
--sentinel.os.Argsof the parent binary is set by thego testdriver, so a sentinel check is easier to break thanos.Getenv.- The child is a Go test binary, so it writes test framework output to stdout. That output lands in the bounded buffer. It is small today, but an explicit helper that controls its own stdout makes the overflow assertion deterministic.

Make the overflow test prove process cancellation.
flood exits immediately after writing. This test passes even if stdout.onOverflow = cancel is removed.
Make the helper write past the limit and then block. Assert that extractTextWithPoppler returns promptly because the overflow callback cancels the child process.
As per coding guidelines, “Every behavior or security-boundary change needs a regression test, including the failure path.”

In `@internal/imageinput/pdf_test.go` around lines 171 - 194, The overflow helper
in TestPDFCommandHelper currently exits immediately, so
TestExtractTextWithPopplerCancelsOnOverflow does not verify cancellation. Make
the flood mode write beyond MaxDocumentTextBytes and then block, and update
TestExtractTextWithPopplerCancelsOnOverflow to assert that
extractTextWithPoppler returns promptly after the overflow callback cancels the
child process while preserving the existing extracted-overflow result checks.

Context
This is the PDF-only work split from #927 at review request. The earlier
GO-2026-6115 advisory was withdrawn, so this PR does not claim a vulnerability
remediation.
The prior in-process fallback was removed deliberately: its
GetPlainTextimplementation fully decompresses and aggregates page text before a caller can
apply an output cap. That makes the advertised limit ineffective for hostile
PDFs. PDF text attachment therefore requires Poppler's
