## Key Architectural Decisions

### 1. Element Hierarchy
- Abstract base (PdfElement) with 5 sealed implementations
- Enables type-safe pattern matching and LINQ
- Supports future element type extensions

### 2. Annotation Polymorphism
- 6 semantic annotations + 1 catch-all special category
- 28 types covered through inheritance
- Factory pattern for type-based creation

### 3. Two-Phase Image Extraction
- Query size first (memory efficiency)
- Extract data with pre-allocated buffer
- Handles partial reads gracefully

### 4. Search Result Design
- Lightweight wrapper around native handle
- LINQ-friendly collections ready
- Geometry properties for UI highlighting

---

## FFI Design Principles Applied

1. **Error Handling**: All errors return codes, mapped to C# exceptions
2. **Memory Safety**: Explicit allocation/deallocation with SafeHandle
3. **String Marshaling**: UTF-8 throughout with proper cleanup
4. **No Panics**: All Rust errors converted before FFI boundary

---

## Integration Points

### NativeMethods.cs
- **26 Element API** declarations
- **18 Annotation API** declarations
- **6 Search API** declarations
- **2 Image extraction** declarations
- **52+ total FFI functions** now available

### C# Object Model
- All classes inherit from appropriate base
- IDisposable pattern throughout
- SafeHandle for native resources
- XML documentation on all public members

---

## Testing Readiness

### Unit Test Structure Ready For
- Element type detection
- Annotation type classification
- Search result accuracy
- Image data extraction completeness
- Memory leak detection (SafeHandle disposal)

### Example Test Patterns
```csharp
// Element tests
var elements = page.FindElements();
Assert.All(elements, e => Assert.NotNull(e.BoundingBox));

// Annotation tests
var annotations = page.GetAnnotations();
Assert.All(annotations, a => Assert.NotNull(a.Contents));

// Search tests
var results = page.Search("test");
Assert.All(results, r => Assert.True(r.PageIndex >= 0));

// Image tests
var images = page.FindElements(ElementType.Image).Cast<ImageElement>();
Assert.All(images, img => Assert.NotEmpty(img.ImageData));
```

## Next Steps (Phase 4+)

### Immediate (Phase 4)
- Create comprehensive unit test suite
- Document all public APIs with examples
- Performance benchmarking
- Memory leak testing

### Future Enhancements
