Revisions appended after the original save, metadata that disagrees with itself, editor fingerprints, signature coverage and integrity, hidden text, macros, AI-generator traces in images — **and** whether the file carries text addressed to a language model rath…
triage_document
Is this worth ingesting, and what does it cost to open? The cheap pre-flight: structure, metadata, signatures and presence flags only — no per-page content walk — at a fraction of the I/O. Returns the risk band, the measured cost (bytes read, bytes expanded, expansion ratio) and a `triage` block na…

Is this the same file as the original I already hold, unchanged?
