Paradoc v0.5.0

Paradoc 0.5 introduces a single signature-slot model and a dependency-light placement engine for preparing documents before signing.

Highlights

• Layers declare a unified signatures map for marker, anchor, or absolute signature placement.
• prepareSeal() returns the exact pre-flatten PDF, resolved fields, provenance, and warnings without changing form state.
• The built-in PDF locator resolves signature markers and anchor text without a PDF rendering engine.
• Pure byte converters such as hostedSealAdapter work with anchor-based sealing without extra placement configuration.

Breaking changes

Core and types

• SealOptions.locate allows a custom placement locator when the built-in PDF locator is not suitable.
• PDF parsing resolves indirect stream lengths, preserving content from PDFs written by LibreOffice.
