# HTML Quality Probe

These checks are diagnostic and non-gating. A `needs-review` status means the generated artifacts found a likely conversion-quality issue, not that artifact generation failed.

- Status: `needs-review`
- Source PDF: [../source.pdf](../source.pdf)
- Generated HTML: [../semantic-continuous/index.html](../semantic-continuous/index.html)
- Sample notes: Tagged structured application form with long prompts, response boxes, tables, and embedded graphics. Categories: government-form, structured-form, tagged-pdf, tables. Canonical source: https://commission.europa.eu/strategy-and-policy/policies/justice-and-fundamental-rights/disability/access-city-award_en

## Page Summary

| Page | Status | Source words | HTML words | Token coverage | Long HTML tokens | Foreground delta | Severe color delta | Text/object overlaps |
| --- | --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| 1 | `needs-review` | 249 | 242 | 0.972 | 0 | 0.363 | 0.658 | 0 |
| 2 | `needs-review` | 174 | 170 | 0.977 | 0 | 0.148 | 0.109 | 0 |

## Issue Categories

| Category | Status | Evidence |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Text reconstruction and word boundaries | `passed` | All analyzed pages passed; lowest token coverage is 0.972 on page 1. |
| Page geometry and text-run structure | `needs-review` | 2 page dimension check(s) and 0 text-run count check(s) need review; max run-count delta is 36. |
| Text wrapping around images and vector objects | `passed` | No text overlaps with image boxes or large vector boxes were found on analyzed pages. |
| Visual foreground parity | `needs-review` | Max foreground delta is 0.363; max source-only foreground ratio is 0.544; max HTML-only foreground ratio is 0.561. |
| Visual color parity | `needs-review` | Max mean CIE Lab color delta is 32.372; max severe color-delta ratio is 0.658; minimum compared page-pixel ratio is 0. |
| Source fixture expectations (manual review) | `needs-review` | Captured 2 source-authored acceptance statement(s) across 1 page(s); compare them with the visual evidence before treating the fixture as passed. |
| Probe setup and tool availability | `passed` | The browser probe and available renderers ran. |

## Fixture Expectations

These source-authored statements describe the intended appearance and make the corresponding visual diffs easier to interpret.

- Page 1:
  - • Applications must be submitted directly online via the online application platform, which
  - • Application forms must be completed preferably in English, but other EU official languages*

## Current Limitations

- Continuous semantic HTML is evaluated as reflowed content; it may not preserve the original PDF page height, per-glyph run count, or exact page-local geometry.
- The visual probe compared at least one page using only the overlapping crop because renderer/browser pixel dimensions differed beyond the probe tolerance.
- Perceptual color differences exceed the severe-corruption threshold on at least one page; inspect the color heatmap for incorrect fills, opacity, blending, or color-space conversion.
- The HTML contains additional foreground pixels compared with the PDF render on at least one page, which often means duplicated glyphs, fallback text, or unmodeled object masks.

## Findings

- Page 1, `page-dimensions`: Continuous semantic HTML width differs from the PDF page width.
- Page 1, `visual-foreground-mask`: PDF render and browser page screenshot have different pixel dimensions; foreground masks were compared across the overlapping region only.
- Page 1, `visual-color-difference`: PDF render and browser page screenshot have different pixel dimensions; color was compared across stable foreground interiors in the overlapping region only.
- Page 2, `page-dimensions`: Continuous semantic HTML width differs from the PDF page width.
- Page 2, `visual-foreground-mask`: PDF render and browser page screenshot have different pixel dimensions; foreground masks were compared across the overlapping region only.
- Page 2, `visual-color-difference`: PDF render and browser page screenshot have different pixel dimensions; color was compared across stable foreground interiors in the overlapping region only.
