pat26-dotcomandClaude Opus 5.5 7322091d95 Accessibility: set a table's Summary and a header cell's Scope (#4103, #4104) (#4130)
* M12: set a table's Summary and a header cell's Scope (#4103, #4104)

accessibility_set_tag_property takes `summary` (Table tags) and `scope`
(TH tags: Row, Column or Both). Both are Table attributes, written into
the tag's attribute object with /O /Table in /A: an existing one is
edited in place, keeping other attribute objects and their revision
numbers; one reached by reference is copied into the tag's own /A first,
so tags sharing it keep their value; a new one is added when there is
none. Clearing drops the key, an attribute object left with only /O,
and an empty /A. The tag type is checked after the role map.

accessibility_tags lists both. Setting a summary clears the
table-summary finding.

* M12: edit the Table attribute object that holds the value (#4103, #4104)

With more than one /O /Table attribute object in a tag's /A, setting a
summary or scope edited the first one even when a later one held the
key, and clearing left that later value in place (both still read back
as the old value). Setting now edits the object holding the key (else
the first Table object, else a new one), and clearing removes the key
from every Table object holding it.

Layer L4: accessibility (execution plan M12.3). Today: the Accessibility Checker's full check.

let report = check(&doc, &Options::default());          // 31 of 32 rules (colour contrast off)
let html = report_html(&report, "file.pdf", "2026-10-02", "en", &in_english);  // or an interface's words
  • 32 rules in 7 categories, as in Acrobat's full check: Document (permission flag, image-only, tagged, reading order, language, title, bookmarks, colour contrast), Page Content (tagged content, tagged annotations, tab order, character encoding, tagged multimedia, and four manual checks), Forms (tagged fields, descriptions), Alternate Text (figures, nested, associated with content, hides annotation, other elements), Tables (rows, cells, headers, regularity with row/column spans, summary), Lists (items, Lbl/LBody) and Headings (nesting).
  • Each result is Passed, Failed (with findings and pages), Needs manual check, or Skipped.
  • Content checks walk the page content streams (and form XObjects) tracking marked content: painting outside MCID-marked or /Artifact content is untagged.
  • Character encoding accepts a predefined non-Identity CJK CMap or an Adobe CJK character collection (GB1, CNS1, Japan1, Korea1, KR), including Identity-H/V. Unknown CMaps and foreign registries do not establish that route. This is a font-level declaration check, not validation of every ToUnicode entry or used glyph.
  • Structure checks read the structure tree through the role map; table regularity counts ColSpan/RowSpan attributes.
  • The report is a self-contained HTML page. Fixes that edit the document (language, title, tab order) live in the engine (Document::accessibility_fix).

Not yet: autotagging, the Tags/Order/Content panels, the Reading Order tool (M12.1–M12.2).
