WP17B — Roadmap current-status reconciliation after WP17

Status: completed documentation-only update.

Purpose:

• Reconcile stale ROADMAP.md wording after WP17.
• Align ROADMAP.md, WORKPACKAGES.md and CHANGELOG.md with the current source-of-truth status.
• Record that WP16 / WP16-FIX / WP16B are completed after Actions/sync verification, with app verification not applicable.
• Record that WP17 is completed planning/specification-only.
• Record that WP18 is the current next possible workpackage, but only after explicit approval.

Files changed:

• ROADMAP.md
• WORKPACKAGES.md
• CHANGELOG.md

Files added:

• handover/workpackages/20260609_1200_roadmap_status_reconciliation_after_wp17.md

Validation:

• Tests: not required; documentation-only update.
• GitHub Actions: not required unless documentation checks run automatically.
• Hugging Face sync: not functionally relevant; no app behavior changed.
• App verification: not applicable; no UI behavior changed.
• Edited files were manually checked for internal consistency.

Intentionally not changed:

• No code files changed.
• No tests changed.
• No dependencies changed.
• No UI changed.
• No OCR added.
• No PDF output added.
• No PDF-to-DOCX reconstruction added.
• No cloud PDF conversion added.
• No AI-based extraction added.
• No layout preservation promises added.
• No batch PDF processing added.
• No real-data PDF test cases added.
• No automatic PDF rehydration added.
• No export/download semantics changed.
• No Scrub Key import/export behavior changed.

Next recommended step:

• WP18 — PDF text extraction to restored TXT UI implementation.
• WP18 has not started.
• WP18 must not start unless explicitly approved as a separate implementation workpackage.

WP17 — PDF text extraction reinsert UI planning only

Status: completed planning/specification-only.

Purpose:

• Create a safe future UI specification for exposing the WP16 PDF text extraction helper.
• Decide whether PDF support should appear in the UI and under which boundaries.
• Keep implementation, UI changes, code changes, tests and dependencies out of scope.

Planning conclusion:

• PDF text extraction may be exposed in the future UI only as text-based PDF extraction to restored TXT output.
• The future UI must live only in Originele waarden terugzetten.
• The PDF text workflow must not appear in Anonimiseren.
• DOCX remains the preferred document-level reinsert route.
• The future workflow should be PDF upload → local text extraction → restored TXT preview/download only.
• Strong PDF limitation warnings are required.
• The future UI must warn that restored output may contain sensitive/confidential values again.
• Scanned/image-only PDFs remain unsupported because OCR is not available.
• Scrub must not offer restored PDF output.
• Unsupported PDF cases must show clear messages and must not silently succeed.
• Required audit fields are specified in PDF_TEXT_REINSERT_UI_PLAN.md.

Validation:

• Tests: not applicable; planning-only.
• GitHub Actions: not required unless documentation checks run.
• Hugging Face sync: not functionally relevant; no app behavior changed.
• App verification: not applicable; no UI behavior changed.

Intentionally not changed:

• No code files changed.
• No tests changed.
• No UI changed.
• No dependencies changed.
• No OCR added.
• No PDF output added.
• No PDF-to-DOCX reconstruction added.
• No cloud PDF conversion added.
• No AI-based extraction added.
• No layout preservation promises added.
• No batch PDF processing added.
• No real-data PDF test cases added.
• No automatic PDF rehydration added.
• No existing export/download semantics changed.
• No existing scrubbed TXT/CSV/DOCX/PDF export/download behavior changed.
• No existing pasted-text, TXT or DOCX reinsert behavior changed.
• No Scrub Key import/export behavior changed.

WP16B — Text-based PDF extraction helper spike verification and closeout

Status: completed closeout-only.

Closeout result:

• WP16 / WP16-FIX is verified.
• WP16 added the helper-only text-based PDF extraction path.
• WP16-FIX fixed the failing tests by making pypdf optional/import-safe.
• Tests #198–#201 are green based on coordinator evidence.
• Sync #212–#215 is green based on coordinator evidence.
• App verification is not applicable because no UI behavior changed.

WP16C — Roadmap status reconciliation after v13.8 and PDF helper line

Status: completed documentation-only update.

Purpose:

• Refresh ROADMAP.md because it still described v12 as the current line and v13 as the next strategic phase.
• Align roadmap status with WORKPACKAGES.md and CHANGELOG.md after v13.8, WP15 and WP16/WP16-FIX.

WP16-FIX — Fix failing PDF text helper tests

Status: completed after Actions/sync verification; app verification not applicable.

WP16 — Text-based PDF extraction helper spike, restored TXT output only

Status: completed after Actions/sync verification; app verification not applicable.

Implemented behavior:

• Added extract_text_from_pdf_bytes(content).
• Added reinsert_pdf_text_bytes(content, scrub_key).
• Text-based PDFs can be extracted locally when pypdf is installed.
• Extracted text is fed into the existing deterministic Scrub Key reinsert path.
• Restored output is text/TXT only.
• No PDF bytes are produced.
• Blank/no-text PDFs are clearly marked unsupported.
• Audit fields include local-only, no-AI, no-cloud, OCR-not-used and PDF-output-false indicators.

WP15 — PDF text extraction reliability review only

Status: completed review/specification only.

Review conclusion:

• Do not implement full PDF reinsert now.
• Do not implement OCR now.
• Restored PDF output remains out of scope.
• PDF-to-DOCX reconstruction remains out of scope.
• DOCX remains the preferred document-level reinsert path.
• A future helper-only package may evaluate text-based PDF extraction to restored TXT output.

Earlier completed work

• v13.8 DOCX reinsert upload/download UI.
• v13.7 TXT reinsert upload/download UI.
• v13.6 two-mode UI.
• v13.3 deterministic reinsert UI.
• v13 Scrub Key foundation and import/export work.
• v12 Review UX line.

Planned later phase

• WP18 — PDF text extraction to restored TXT UI implementation, only if explicitly approved as a separate implementation workpackage.
