chore: bump version and changelog (v1.4.0.0)
...
New /make-pdf skill + $P binary.
Turn any markdown file into a publication-quality PDF. Default output is
a 1in-margin Helvetica letter with page numbers in the footer. `--cover`
adds a left-aligned cover page, `--toc` generates a clickable table of
contents, `--watermark DRAFT` overlays a diagonal watermark. Copy-paste
extraction from the PDF produces clean words, not "S a i l i n g"
spaced out letter by letter. CI gate (macOS + Ubuntu) runs a combined-
features fixture through pdftotext on every PR.
make-pdf shells out to browse rather than duplicating Playwright.
$B pdf grew into a real PDF engine with full flag contract (--format,
--margins, --header-template, --footer-template, --page-numbers,
--tagged, --outline, --toc, --tab-id, --from-file). $B load-html and
$B js gained --tab-id. $B newtab --json returns structured output.

feat(make-pdf): new /make-pdf skill + orchestrator binary
...
Turn markdown into publication-quality PDFs. $P generate input.md out.pdf
produces a PDF with 1in margins, intelligent page breaks, page numbers,
running header, CONFIDENTIAL footer, and curly quotes/em dashes — all on
Helvetica so copy-paste extraction works ("S ai li ng" bug avoided).
Architecture (per Codex round 2):
markdown → render.ts (marked + sanitize + smartypants) → orchestrator
→ $B newtab --json → $B load-html --tab-id → $B js (poll Paged.js)
→ $B pdf --tab-id → $B closetab
browseClient.ts shells out to the compiled browse CLI rather than
duplicating Playwright. --tab-id isolation per render means parallel
$P generate calls don't race on the active tab. try/finally tab cleanup
survives Paged.js timeouts, browser crashes, and output-path failures.
Features in v1:
--cover left-aligned cover page (eyebrow + title + hairline rule)
--toc clickable static TOC (Paged.js page numbers deferred)
--watermark <text> diagonal DRAFT/CONFIDENTIAL layer
--no-chapter-breaks opt out of H1-starts-new-page
--page-numbers "N of M" footer (default on)
--tagged --outline accessible PDF + bookmark outline (default on)
--allow-network opt in to external image loading (default off for privacy)
--quiet --verbose stderr control
Design decisions locked from the /plan-design-review pass:
- Helvetica everywhere (Chromium emits single-word Tj operators for
system fonts; bundled webfonts emit per-glyph and break extraction).
- Left-aligned body, flush-left paragraphs, no text-indent, 12pt gap.
- Cover shares 1in margins with body pages; no flexbox-center, no
inset padding.
- The reference HTMLs at .context/designs/*.html are the implementation
source of truth for print-css.ts.
Tests (56 unit + 1 E2E combined-features gate):
- smartypants: code/URL-safe, verified against 10 fixtures
- sanitizer: strips <script>/<iframe>/on*/javascript: URLs
- render: HTML assembly, CJK fallback, cover/TOC/chapter wrap
- print-css: all @page rules, margin variants, watermark
- pdftotext: normalize()+copyPasteGate() cross-OS tolerance
- browseClient: binary resolution + typed error propagation
- combined-features gate (P0): 2-chapter fixture with smartypants +
hyphens + ligatures + bold/italic + inline code + lists + blockquote
passes through PDF → pdftotext → expected.txt diff
Deferred to Phase 4 (future PR): Paged.js vendored for accurate TOC page
numbers, highlight.js for syntax highlighting, drop caps, pull quotes,
two-column, CMYK, watermark visual-diff acceptance.
