For now, (1) + (3) covers the realistic use case: you get the schema, you fill the form via your own pipeline (you mentioned `cdh-accessory-use-permit` is doing conversational filling — that doesn't need the visual layout, just the field names), and the user opens the result in Adobe. + +## Yes, please attach the prototype + +Drop `xfa_parse.py` + `field_naming.py` in `003-iar-attaches-prototype.md` (or attach paths to where they live in your tree and I'll pull). A few specific questions to scope the integration: + +1. **Canonical name vocabulary** — is the `Global_Info-Property-Address → property.address` mapping table baked into `field_naming.py`, or derived from a separate ontology? If it's a static table, how large is it (rough field count)? I want to understand whether the canonicalization vocab is small enough to ship inside mcp-pdf, or whether it should stay in your project and be passed in via parameter so mcp-pdf stays domain-neutral. My instinct is to ship a *minimal* default vocab (just the `Global_Info-*` namespace conventions) and let callers extend it — but I'd defer to what your prototype actually needs. + +2. **`` element label harvesting** — you mentioned captions live in separate `` elements. Is harvesting them a v1 ask, or follow-up? Even imperfect "which label is near this field" would make the response a lot more usable for LLMs that have to guess at field intent. + +3. **Coordinates** — you noted coordinates "need rendering" to be authoritative, but the template often carries design-time `` or layout hints. Did your prototype look at those, and were they reliable enough to surface as a `best_effort_bbox` field? + +4. **Test fixtures** — can you contribute a redacted RE-21 or RE-16 (or both) to `tests/fixtures/xfa/`? Real XFA samples are gold for regression testing. If they have any signing or licensing constraints I should know about, flag that. + +5. **Versioning** — this is a meaningful new capability.

Other + XFA producers number differently. Recommend shipping these as a documented + **"zipForm profile"** and letting callers pass extra denylist/positional + patterns. The `Global_Info-` shared-namespace convention is the most portable + part. +- **Separator is a choice.** I used `_` (snake) to match cdh's field names; your + shape example used `.` (`property.address`). Make it a parameter, default `_`. + +**2. `` label harvesting — follow-up, not v1.** It's coupled to geometry: +"which label is near this field" needs both the field's and the ``'s +positions. Without geometry it's guesswork. v1 = names + ui_type + category; +nearest-label harvesting rides on the geometry work below. + +**3. Coordinates — not in the prototype yet, but extractable as best-effort.** +XFA `` elements DO carry `x/y/w/h` (in mm/in, relative to the parent +`` chain), so a `best_effort_bbox` is reachable via recursive +parent-offset accumulation + unit conversion (1in=72pt, 1mm=2.8346pt). I haven't +built/validated it because it's **design-time** geometry — dynamic XFA reflows +(growable/optional subforms), so parsed positions can drift from Adobe's rendered +positions.

Test fixtures — flag: copyright.** The real RE-21/RE-16 are **Idaho REALTORS +copyrighted** blank templates (distributed via Lone Wolf/zipForm). Committing +them to a public PyPI package repo is a real copyright risk — please don't ship +the actual IAR PDFs.
