[MM-70248] Bound plain text extraction to prevent heap exhaustion

[devinbinnie]

Summary

GetPlainText accumulated all extracted text into an in-memory buffer with no upper bound. A small PDF whose FlateDecode content stream expands into a very large volume of text could therefore drive the heap far beyond the size of the file.

This PR caps total accumulated text at 1 MiB, which is the same value we truncate to on the server. Once the cap is reached, extraction stops appending and cancels the interpreter's context.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Text extraction now enforces a 1 MB maximum. Reader.GetPlainText passes the remaining capacity to each page. Page.GetPlainText stops extraction at the limit and returns partial text without an error.

Changes

Text extraction limit

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Reader-level extraction budget page.go	Reader.GetPlainText applies the 1 MB maximum, tracks remaining capacity, and stops processing pages when the limit is reached.
Page-level limit enforcement page.go	Page.GetPlainText accepts a byte limit, stops appending and decoding at the limit, cancels interpretation, and returns partial text successfully.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 1b1d8

The PR adds a 1 MiB text cap, but it currently breaks the exported extraction API and can still allocate oversized decoded text before enforcing the cap; multi-byte characters and newline appends may also exceed the limit. These compatibility and heap-protection risks make the PR not merge-ready until corrected.

In `@page.go`:
- Line 568: Restore the exported Page.GetPlainText method to accept only ctx and
fonts, preserving existing callers, and move the limit-aware implementation into
an unexported helper that the method delegates to with the appropriate default
limit.
- Around line 617-622: The GetPlainText logic in Page and showText must enforce
the byte limit before each append: check the current builder length plus the
encoded byte length of the rune or newline before writing, mark the result
capped and cancel when the limit would be exceeded, and preserve existing
behavior for allowed appends so Reader.GetPlainText cannot exceed maxTextBytes.
- Line 616: Update Page.GetPlainText’s enc.Decode processing to enforce the 1 MB
extraction limit while decoding each RawString operand, avoiding materialization
of an entire oversized operand before validation. Use streaming or bounded
decoding consistent with the existing decoder APIs, and add a fixture covering a
single oversized text operand.
