Phase 33.1 — Scan capture & import primitives

[NesiciCoding]

Summary

Second subphase of Phase 33 (scan & OCR of student handwriting), stacked on #508 (33.0). Base branch is claude/eager-mayer-zyazjg — review/merge #508 first; this PR's diff will retarget to main automatically once #508 merges.

This is the capture & import primitives increment. Teacher-facing UI, entry-point wiring, and i18n are the next commits on this branch (PR kept as draft until then).

What's here

• src/hooks/useCameraCapture.ts — live camera preview + still-frame capture. Requests the rear (environment) camera by default for scanning paper, grabs a frame onto a canvas, and returns an image blob. Mirrors useMediaRecorder's permission/stream/cleanup handling but is still-image oriented (videoRef, start/capture/stop, status/error, teardown on unmount).
• src/utils/scanImport.ts — isScannableImage/isScannablePdf predicates, rasterizePdf() (renders each PDF page to an image via pdfjs, since a scanned PDF has no text layer), and importScanFiles() which turns a mixed set of picked files into scannable images while reporting anything unusable (unsupported-type, pdf-render-failed, no-pages).

Neither module touches storage or app state — bytes are handed to scanStore (from 33.0) by the caller.

Testing

• npm run check green: typecheck, lint, format, and the full unit suite — 4762 tests across 333 files (16 new: camera hook with mocked getUserMedia/canvas; import util with mocked pdfjs + canvas covering image passthrough, multi-page PDF, unsupported files, and render failure).

Still to come on this branch (before marking ready)

• Teacher-only capture surface (camera + drag/drop importer) reachable from GradeStudent and the attachments flow — no student-portal upload.
• i18n keys across en/nl/fr/de/es; route/entry documentation.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This pull request adds a camera capture hook and scan import utilities. The hook manages camera streams and frame capture. The utilities pass through images, rasterize PDF pages, and report skipped files. Tests cover success, failure, cleanup, and edge cases.

Changes

Camera capture

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Camera hook lifecycle and capture src/hooks/useCameraCapture.ts	Adds typed camera state and controls. The hook starts and stops media streams, captures video frames as blobs, handles failures, and cleans up on unmount.
Camera lifecycle and capture tests src/hooks/__tests__/useCameraCapture.test.ts	Covers camera constraints, status transitions, frame capture, repeated starts, denied access, playback failures, invalid dimensions, missing canvas context, and track cleanup.

Scan file import

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Image and PDF import pipeline src/utils/scanImport.ts	Adds file type guards, PDF page rasterization, canvas-to-blob conversion, image pass-through, and skipped-file reporting.
Scan classification and import tests src/utils/__tests__/scanImport.test.ts	Covers image and PDF detection, page metadata, empty PDFs, canvas failures, unsupported files, render failures, and mixed inputs.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 42d50

Concurrent camera operations and large or repeated PDF imports can leave resources active, exhaust browser memory, or produce incomplete scan results. These issues should be addressed before merge.

Inline comments:
In `@src/hooks/useCameraCapture.ts`:
- Around line 47-49: Update the camera start flow in useCameraCapture to
serialize concurrent getUserMedia requests by storing and reusing a pending
start promise. Invalidate that pending request from stop() and unmount cleanup;
when an invalidated request resolves, stop its tracks without assigning
streamRef.current or updating hook state. Add regression coverage for concurrent
starts and stopping before getUserMedia resolves.
- Line 86: Update the toBlob callback in the camera capture flow to set
CaptureResult.mimeType from blob.type, falling back to the requested mimeType
when blob.type is empty. Add a regression test covering an unsupported MIME type
and verify the returned MIME type matches the produced blob.

In `@src/utils/scanImport.ts`:
- Line 66: Update the canvas serialization flow in importScanFiles so a null
result from canvas.toBlob throws and produces the existing pdf-render-failed
outcome instead of silently skipping the page. When serialization falls back to
another format, derive ScanImage.mimeType from blob.type or reject the fallback
rather than retaining the requested mimeType. Add tests covering both null
serialization and unsupported-mime fallback cases.
- Line 53: Update the PDF loading flow in scanImport to retain the
PDFDocumentLoadingTask returned by pdfjsLib.getDocument, and always await its
destroy method in a finally block after loading or rendering succeeds or fails.
Update the related mocks and add assertions covering task destruction on both
successful and rejected operations.
- Around line 60-61: Update rasterizePdf to reject non-finite or non-positive
scale values and enforce page-count, per-page pixel, and cumulative pixel limits
before canvas allocation or setting canvas dimensions. Ensure oversized PDFs
fail before bitmap allocation, and add coverage confirming importScanFiles
reports pdf-render-failed for these failures.

Thanks @coderabbitai — all five findings were valid and are fixed in 90268f7:

• Concurrent start() race (useCameraCapture.ts) — start() now serializes concurrent calls behind a single in-flight promise and a generation token bumped by stop()/unmount, so a teardown mid-acquisition stops the late stream's tracks without assigning streamRef or touching hook state. Regression tests cover concurrent starts collapsing to one getUserMedia call and a stream arriving after stop().
• Capture MIME type — capture() now returns blob.type || mimeType, with a test for the browser's PNG fallback on an unsupported type.
• PDF loading-task leak — the PDFDocumentLoadingTask is retained and await loadingTask.destroy() runs in a finally; mocks updated and destruction asserted on both success and rejection.
• Silent page drops — any per-page render failure (null toBlob, missing 2D context) now throws, so importScanFiles reports pdf-render-failed instead of returning a partial success; the per-page MIME is derived from blob.type.
• Unbounded rasterization — rasterizePdf rejects non-finite/non-positive scale and enforces page-count, per-page, and cumulative pixel limits before canvas allocation. Tests confirm oversized PDFs surface as pdf-render-failed.

npm run check (typecheck, lint, format, unit tests) passes locally; the two affected suites go from 25 → 31 tests.

On the non-blocking Docstring Coverage warning: I've deliberately not added docstrings purely to reach the 80% threshold — this repo's contributor guide (CLAUDE.md) is explicit that comments should be written only when the why is non-obvious, so padding every function would work against the house convention. The functions carry brief "why" comments where they add value.

Tip

For best results, initiate chat on the files or code changes.

@NesiciCoding Thanks for the detailed update. The five findings are addressed in 90268f7.

The regression coverage and the successful npm run check result provide clear verification. The decision not to add low-value docstrings is consistent with the stated CLAUDE.md convention.
