Previous implementation only expanded bbox_height which had no visual effect.
New implementation properly applies spacing_after between list items.
Changes:
1. Track cumulative Y offset in _draw_list_elements_direct
2. Calculate actual gap between adjacent list items
3. If actual gap < desired spacing_after, add offset to push next item down
4. Pass y_offset parameter to _draw_text_element_direct
5. Apply y_offset when calculating pdf_y coordinate
Implementation details:
- Default 3pt spacing_after for list items (except last item in group)
- Compare actual_gap (next.bbox.y0 - current.bbox.y1) with desired spacing
- Cumulative offset ensures spacing compounds across multiple items
- Negative offset in PDF coordinates (Y increases upward)
- Debug logging shows when additional spacing is applied
This now creates actual visual spacing between list items in the PDF output.

Implemented all missing list formatting features for Direct track:
1. Fallback List Detection (_is_list_item_fallback):
- Check metadata for list_level, parent_item, children fields
- Pattern matching for ordered (^\d+[\.\)]) and unordered (^[•·▪▫◦‣⁃\-\*]) lists
- Auto-mark elements as LIST_ITEM if detected
2. Multi-line List Item Alignment:
- Calculate list marker width before rendering
- Add marker_width to subsequent line indentation (i > 0)
- Ensures text after marker aligns properly across lines
3. Dedicated List Item Spacing:
- Default 3pt spacing_after for list items
- Applied by expanding bbox_height for visual spacing
- Marked with _apply_spacing_after flag for tracking
Updated tasks.md with accurate implementation details and line numbers.

Fix critical issues in Task 6 list formatting implementation:
**Issue 1: LIST_ITEM Elements Not Rendered**
- Problem: LIST_ITEM type not included in is_text property
- Fix: Separate list_elements from text_elements (lines 626, 636-637)
- Impact: List items were completely ignored in rendering
**Issue 2: Missing Sequential Numbering**
- Problem: Each list item independently parsed its own number
- Fix: Implement _draw_list_elements_direct method (lines 1523-1610)
- Groups list items by proximity (max_gap=30pt) and level
- Maintains list_counter across items for sequential numbering
- Starts from original number in first item
**Issue 3: Unreliable List Type Detection**
- Problem: Regex-based detection per item, not per list
- Fix: Detect type from first item in group, apply to all items
- Store computed marker in metadata (_list_marker, _list_type)
- Ensures consistency across entire list
**Issue 4: Insufficient List Spacing Control**
- Problem: No grouping logic, relied solely on bbox positions
- Fix: Proximity-based grouping with 30pt max gap threshold
- Groups consecutive items into lists
- Separates lists when gap exceeds threshold or level changes
**Technical Implementation**
New method: _draw_list_elements_direct (lines 1523-1610)
- Sort items by position (y0, x0)
- Group by proximity and level
- Detect list type from first item
- Assign sequential markers
- Store in metadata for _draw_text_element_direct
Updated: _draw_text_element_direct (lines 1662-1677)
- Use pre-computed _list_marker from metadata
- Simplified marker removal (just clean original markers)
- No longer needs to maintain counter per-item
Updated: _generate_direct_track_pdf (lines 622-663)
- Separate list_elements collection
- Call _draw_list_elements_direct before text rendering
- Updated logging to show list item count

Add comprehensive list rendering with automatic detection and formatting:
**Task 6.1: List Element Detection**
- Detect LIST_ITEM elements by type (element.type == ElementType.LIST_ITEM)
- Extract list_level from element metadata (lines 1566-1567)
- Determine list type via regex pattern matching:
- Ordered lists: ^\d+[\.\)]\s (e.g., "1. ", "2) ")
- Unordered lists: ^[•·▪▫◦‣⁃]\s (various bullet symbols)
- Parse and extract list markers from text content (lines 1571-1588)
**Task 6.2: List Rendering**
- Add list markers to first line of each item:
- Ordered: Preserve original numbering (e.g., "1. ")
- Unordered: Standardize to bullet "• "
- Remove original markers from text content
- Apply list indentation: 20pt per nesting level (lines 1594-1598)
- Combine list indent with existing paragraph indent
- List spacing: Inherited from bbox-based layout (spacing_before/after)
**Implementation Details**
- Lines 1565-1598: List detection and indentation logic
- Lines 1629-1632: Prepend list marker to first line (rendered_line)
- Lines 1635-1676: Update all text width calculations to use rendered_line

Complete text alignment parity between OCR and Direct tracks:
**OCR Track Alignment Support (Task 5.3.5)**
- Extract alignment from region style (StyleInfo or dict)
- Support left/right/center/justify alignment in draw_text_region
- Calculate line_x position based on alignment setting:
- Left: line_x = pdf_x (default)
- Center: line_x = pdf_x + (bbox_width - text_width) / 2
- Right: line_x = pdf_x + bbox_width - text_width
- Justify: word spacing distribution (except last line)
- Lines 1179-1247 in pdf_generator_service.py
- OCR track now has feature parity with Direct track for alignment
**Enhanced spacing_after Handling (Task 5.2.4-5.2.5)**
- Calculate actual text height: len(lines) * line_height
- Compute bbox_bottom_margin to show implicit spacing
- Add detailed logging with actual_height and bbox_bottom_margin
- Document that spacing_after is inherent in bbox-based layout
- If text is shorter than bbox, remaining space acts as spacing
- Lines 1680-1689 in pdf_generator_service.py
**Technical Details**
- Both tracks now support identical alignment modes
- spacing_after is implicitly present in element positioning
- bbox_bottom_margin = bbox_height - actual_text_height - spacing_before
- This shows how much space remains below the text (implicit spacing_after)

Implement independent Direct and OCR track rendering methods with
complete separation of concerns and proper line break handling.
**Architecture Changes**:
- Created _generate_direct_track_pdf() for rich formatting
- Created _generate_ocr_track_pdf() for backward compatible rendering
- Modified generate_from_unified_document() to route by track type
- No more shared rendering path that loses information
**Direct Track Features** (_generate_direct_track_pdf):
- Processes UnifiedDocument directly (no legacy conversion)
- Preserves all StyleInfo without information loss
- Handles line breaks (\n) in text content
- Layer-based rendering: images → tables → text
- Three specialized helper methods:
- _draw_text_element_direct(): Multi-line text with styling
- _draw_table_element_direct(): Direct bbox table rendering
- _draw_image_element_direct(): Image positioning from bbox
**OCR Track Features** (_generate_ocr_track_pdf):
- Uses legacy OCR data conversion pipeline
- Routes to existing _generate_pdf_from_data()
- Maintains full backward compatibility
- Simplified rendering for OCR-detected layout
**Line Break Handling** (Direct Track):
- Split text on '\n' into multiple lines
- Calculate line height as font_size * 1.2
- Render each line with proper vertical spacing
- Font scaling per line if width exceeds bbox
**Implementation Details**:
Lines 535-569: Track detection and routing
Lines 571-670: _generate_direct_track_pdf() main method
Lines 672-717: _generate_ocr_track_pdf() main method
Lines 1497-1575: _draw_text_element_direct() with line breaks
Lines 1577-1656: _draw_table_element_direct()
Lines 1658-1714: _draw_image_element_direct()
**Corrected Task Status**:
- Task 4.2: NOW properly implements separate Direct track pipeline
- Task 4.3: NOW properly implements separate OCR track pipeline
- Both with distinct rendering logic as designed
**Breaking vs Previous Commit**:
Previous commit (3fc32bc) only added conditional styling in shared
draw_text_region(). This commit creates true track-specific pipelines
as per design.md requirements.
Direct track PDFs will now:
✅ Process without legacy conversion (no info loss)
✅ Render multi-line text properly (split on \n)
✅ Apply StyleInfo per element
✅ Use precise bbox positioning
✅ Render images and tables directly
OCR track PDFs will:
✅ Use existing proven pipeline
✅ Maintain backward compatibility
✅ No changes to current behavior

Correctly implement task 2.1 by completely removing dependency on fake
table_*.png references as originally intended.
**Changes**:
- Set table image_path to None instead of fake "table_*.png"
- Removed backward compatibility fallback that looked for fake table images
- Tables now exclusively use element's own bbox for rendering
- Kept bbox in images_metadata only for text overlap filtering
**Rationale**:
The previous implementation kept creating fake table_*.png references
and included fallback logic to find them. This defeated the purpose of
task 2.1 which was to eliminate dependency on non-existent image files.
Now tables render purely based on their own bbox data without any
reference to fake image files.
**Files Modified**:
- backend/app/services/pdf_generator_service.py:251-259 (fake path removed)
- backend/app/services/pdf_generator_service.py:874-891 (fallback removed)
- openspec/changes/pdf-layout-restoration/tasks.md (accurate status)
