//! # pdfium-auto
//!
//! Auto-download and cache [PDFium](https://pdfium.googlesource.com/pdfium/)
//! binaries at runtime, so that users of `pdfium-render` no longer need to
//! manually download libpdfium and set `DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH` / `LD_LIBRARY_PATH`.
//!
//! ## How it works
//!
//! On first call to [`bind_pdfium`] or [`ensure_pdfium_library`]:
//!
//! 1. Checks `~/.cache/pdf2md/pdfium-{VERSION}/` for the platform library.
//! 2. If absent, downloads the correct `.tgz` from
//!    [bblanchon/pdfium-binaries](https://github.com/bblanchon/pdfium-binaries).
//! 3. Extracts `lib/libpdfium.dylib` (or `.so` / `.dll`) to the cache dir.
//! 4. Calls [`Pdfium::bind_to_library`] to load the real library.
//!
//! Subsequent calls skip the network entirely — the library is already cached.
//!
//! ## `bundled` feature — compile-time embedding
//!
//! For use-cases that require a fully self-contained binary (e.g., CI/CD
//! distribution), the optional `bundled` feature embeds the pdfium shared
//! library directly into the compiled executable.
//!
//! **Build steps:**
//!
//! ```sh
//! # 1. Download and extract the platform archive (example: macOS arm64).
//! curl -L https://github.com/bblanchon/pdfium-binaries/releases/download/ \
//!      chromium%2F7690/pdfium-mac-arm64.tgz | tar xz
//!
//! # 2. Build with the bundled feature, pointing PDFIUM_BUNDLE_LIB at the lib.
//! PDFIUM_BUNDLE_LIB=./lib/libpdfium.dylib \
//!   cargo build --release --features pdfium-auto/bundled
//! ```
//!
//! At runtime, the embedded bytes are extracted to the cache directory on
//! first use ([`ensure_pdfium_bundled`] / [`bind_bundled`]).  The resulting
//! binary ships without any external dependency on libpdfium or network access.
//!
//! **Trade-offs:**
//!
//! | | Runtime-download (`bind_pdfium`) | Compile-time-bundled (`bind_bundled`) |
//! |--|--|--|
//! | Binary size | ~5 MB | ~35 MB (+30 MB) |
//! | First run | Downloads pdfium (~20 s) | Instant (already embedded) |
//! | Net access required at runtime | Once (first run) | Never |
//! | Net access required at compile time | No | No |
//! | Cross-platform binary | N/A (same arch) | Same constraints |
//!
//! ## Usage
//!
//! ```rust,no_run
//! use pdfium_auto::{bind_pdfium_silent, bind_pdfium_from_path, ensure_pdfium_library};
//!
//! // Option A: convenient one-shot bind (silent, no progress)
//! let pdfium = bind_pdfium_silent().expect("PDFium unavailable");
//!
//! // Option B: download with progress, then bind
//! let path = ensure_pdfium_library(Some(&|downloaded, total| {
//!     if let Some(t) = total {
//!         eprint!("\rDownloading PDFium: {}/{} bytes", downloaded, t);
//!     }
//! })).expect("download failed");
//! let pdfium = bind_pdfium_from_path(&path).expect("bind failed");
//! ```
//!
//! ## Platform support
//!
//! | OS      | Arch    | Library               |
//! |---------|---------|-----------------------|
//! | macOS   | arm64   | `libpdfium.dylib`     |
//! | macOS   | x86_64  | `libpdfium.dylib`     |
//! | Linux   | x86_64  | `libpdfium.so`        |
//! | Linux   | aarch64 | `libpdfium.so`        |
//! | Windows | x86_64  | `pdfium.dll`          |
//! | Windows | aarch64 | `pdfium.dll`          |
//! | Windows | x86     | `pdfium.dll`          |
//!
//! ## Environment variable overrides
//!
//! - `PDFIUM_LIB_PATH` — path to an existing pdfium library; skips download.
//! - `PDFIUM_AUTO_CACHE_DIR` — override the default cache directory.
//! - `PDFIUM_BUNDLE_LIB` — (compile time) path to the dylib to embed when
//!   the `bundled` feature is active.
