fix(rust): honor pageBreakBefore on/off value in docx paragraphs

[Sen-CaPoo]

Problem

The Rust docx renderer inserted a page break whenever a paragraph contained a pageBreakBefore element, regardless of its w:val. OOXML defines pageBreakBefore as CT_OnOff, so w:val="0" and w:val="false" mean "no page break before". Documents that write the property explicitly disabled on every paragraph (common in generated contracts) rendered one paragraph per page: the Issue79_FilledContract and Issue79_TemplateContract fixtures produced 20 pages instead of 1.

Fix

read_paragraph in minipdf-rs/crates/minipdf/src/docx.rs now reads only the direct pPr/pageBreakBefore child and gates the page break on the existing property_enabled on/off helper (the same helper used for b and i). This matches:

• LibreOffice writerfilter: sw/source/writerfilter/ooxml/model.xml maps pageBreakBefore to CT_OnOff (default true when val is absent), OOXMLPropertySet.cxx GetBooleanValue accepts only true/1/on, and DomainMapper.cxx (LN_CT_PPrBase_pageBreakBefore) sets BreakType_PAGE_BEFORE only for a non-zero value.
• The .NET implementation (src/MiniPdf/DocxReader.cs), which already honors w:val="0" and w:val="false".

Restricting the lookup to the direct pPr child also stops unrelated descendants (for example pPrChange history or text box content) from triggering a break.

Tests

• New unit test docx::tests::ignores_disabled_page_break_before (fails before the fix, passes after).
• Existing docx::tests::preserves_explicit_page_breaks still passes.

Visual benchmark evidence

Rust issue/docx suite, Microsoft 365 reference, full run without -Filter or -MaxCases (28 cases):

Case	overall before	overall after	visual_avg before	visual_avg after	pages before -> after / reference
Issue79_FilledContract	0.5071	0.9840	0.0302	0.9726	20 -> 1 / 1
Issue79_TemplateContract	0.5121	0.9889	0.0302	0.9722	20 -> 1 / 1
Cooperation Agreement Template	0.5980	0.8945	0.4248	0.9161	14 -> 7 / 7
Other 25 cases	unchanged	unchanged	unchanged	unchanged	unchanged
Suite average	0.7616	0.8063	0.6494	0.7342	cases below 0.95: 18 -> 16

No case lost visual_avg, changed page count unexpectedly, or produced an invalid PDF. The Cooperation Agreement fixture contains eight pageBreakBefore w:val="false" elements, so its improvement comes from the same root cause.

Compatibility and scope

• No public API change; Rust crate only.
• pageBreakBefore inherited from paragraph styles was not handled before this change and is still not handled; it is out of scope here.
• Remaining differences in the affected fixtures (table borders, font weight) are separate issues.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Page breaks now follow the paragraph’s own page-break setting. Enabled values trigger a break, while disabled values such as 0 and false do not. Page-break entries nested inside change-history markup are ignored, so historical formatting does not add unexpected breaks to the rendered document. This keeps page layout consistent with the active paragraph settings.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

DOCX paragraph reading now checks the direct pageBreakBefore property and adds a page break only when that property is enabled. Tests cover disabled and enabled values, and a property inside change-history markup.

Systems and components

• observed — minipdf-rs (service) was modified; 1 changed file maps to changed impact.

Before / after behavior

• observed — Modified behavior in minipdf-rs/crates/minipdf/src/docx.rs: read_paragraph replaces a descendant-wide search for pageBreakBefore with a direct pPr/pageBreakBefore lookup and checks the property using property_enabled before inserting a page-break block.
• observed — Modified behavior in minipdf-rs/crates/minipdf/src/docx.rs: Adds a test asserting that pageBreakBefore values 0 and false do not insert page breaks, while 1 does; the expected blocks and rendered PDF page count reflect one break and two pages.
• observed — Modified behavior in minipdf-rs/crates/minipdf/src/docx.rs: Adds a test asserting that a pageBreakBefore found only inside pPrChange does not insert a page-break block.

Add a nested pageBreakBefore case to this regression test.

The fixture contains only direct w:pPr/w:pageBreakBefore elements. Replacing the direct-child lookup with a descendant lookup would therefore produce the same assertions. Add a nested property, such as w:pPrChange/w:pPr/w:pageBreakBefore, to ensure the direct-child restriction remains protected.

[shps951023]

Review follow-up: I added a regression test for w:pPrChange/w:pPr/w:pageBreakBefore (commit c6ae6c8). It verifies that a historical, nested page-break setting does not insert a page break; this covers the direct-child lookup noted in the CodeRabbit review. I found no blocking issue in the production change.

Local validation passed:

• cd minipdf-rs; cargo test --workspace (115 tests passed)
• cd minipdf-rs; cargo fmt --check
• cd minipdf-rs; cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings
• git diff --check
• scripts/Run-Rust-VisualBenchmark.ps1 -Suite issue -Format docx -Filter "Issue79" -MinimumScore 0 (both cases passed)
• scripts/Run-Rust-VisualBenchmark.ps1 -Suite issue -Format docx -MinimumScore 0 (28/28 valid candidate PDFs; all references and comparison images present)

Issue79_FilledContract scored 0.9840 (1/1 pages); Issue79_TemplateContract scored 0.9889 (1/1 pages). The local full-suite average was 0.7989, rather than the 0.8063 in the PR description. The affected Issue79 scores match the PR evidence, but I have not established the reason for the suite-average difference with a same-environment baseline. -MinimumScore 0 lets the full comparison complete despite unrelated existing cases below 0.95.
