* feat(files): show images and PDFs from the byte-range preview path, local and remote ImageViewer and PdfViewer read an orca-media:// URL instead of base64 when the editor opens a file: images load by URL, and pdf.js reads PDFs by range, so a large PDF no longer arrives whole through files.readPreview or pages into memory first. The grant mints only for the editor's viewers; diffs, git blobs, markdown images and the paired web client keep base64. - Minting an image checks its header with the base64 path's rule, so an image proven too large to decode safely never reaches the decoder. - orca-media gains fetch and CORS privileges, and range responses expose Accept-Ranges and Content-Range, so pdf.js can read by range. - Grants report the file size the viewer used to estimate from base64. * fix(files): read PDFs by real range, check served images, keep old hosts' previews - pdf.js fetches ranges only over http(s), so an orca-media URL was read whole; a small range transport now hands it bytes=a-b reads from the grant, and a failed range fails the preview instead of hanging it. - A file can change after mint, so the raster header is checked again on the bytes each image request serves (the same handle locally). - A paired host without files.readChunk falls back to files.readPreview for images and PDFs, as before; only audio and video need the update. * fix(files): mint no local document grant for a renderer gone mid-mint The local image/PDF mint is async now (authorize, open, header check), so a renderer that closed meanwhile could leave a grant no teardown drops. It binds the renderer lifetime first and refuses to mint once it's gone, as the remote mint does. * fix(files): keep the 50 MB cap for URL images, and probe remote headers incrementally An <img> decodes the whole file, so image grants keep the base64 path's 50 MB cap; PDFs, now read by range, don't need one. A remote header probe reads only each wider step's new bytes instead of re-reading from the start. A replaced image of a different size resets its zoom. * fix(files): tear down a PDF load whose range failed, and read 256 KiB ranges A failed range only showed the error and left the pdf.js task, its worker and pages alive; it now destroys that load first. pdf.js asks for one readChunk-sized range at a time instead of 64 KiB, and a Range preflight gets its CORS answer instead of 405. * fix(files): read PDF ranges over IPC so orca-media needs no fetch or CORS orca-media had gained supportFetchAPI and corsEnabled, and its responses sent Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *, so pdf.js could fetch ranges. That let any default-session frame holding a token read the bytes. pdf.js now reads a PDF grant's ranges through fs:readPreviewRange, which main answers only for the renderer that minted the token. The scheme is back to element-load privileges (standard, secure, stream), responses carry no CORS headers, and preflights get 405. Grant bookkeeping moves to preview-grant-registry.ts. An e2e spec proves an orca-media URL can't be fetched from the app page or read from another session. * ci(e2e): route the byte-range preview sources to the viewer specs that exercise them Changes to the orca-media grant path, the image/PDF viewers and the PDF range transport now run the PDF reload, rebuild and find specs, the remote large-file open, media playback and the partition-isolation spec. * fix(files): stop PDF range reads on abort, abort remote reads with the window, fix the CI route - A closed or reloaded viewer schedules no further pieces of a merged range, and a remote range read stops when its window goes away. - A URL without a size is an error rather than a fetch the scheme refuses. - The PR guard job's sparse checkout and its admission test include the new route module, and the route now also covers the mint handler, preload bridge, editor surfaces, scheme registration and read client. * fix(files): classify linked previews by their target, keep range reads off stopped WSL distros A local image or PDF reached through a link is classified by the file it resolves to, at mint and on every read, and a re-mint after the link is retargeted gets a fresh grant of the new type. A paired host's document whose first bytes are another kind defers to files.readPreview, which classifies the target there. Lazy local reads go through the non-waking WSL guard, as fs:readFile and fs:readFileChunk do.
