+ * structural prerequisites. It does **not** render or rasterise; it parses the
+ * document with the native reader and inspects the catalog, structure tree and
+ * per-page marked-content.
+ *
+ * Scope (what this validator can verify from structure alone):
+ *   - Catalog `/MarkInfo << /Marked true >>`            (ISO 14289-1 §7.1)
+ *   - Catalog `/StructTreeRoot`                          (ISO 14289-1 §7.1)
+ *   - Catalog `/Metadata` (XMP) and `/Lang`              (ISO 14289-1 §7.2, §7.3)
+ *   - `/StructTreeRoot /ParentTree`                      (ISO 32000-1 §14.7.4.4)
+ *   - MCID uniqueness within each page's content stream  (ISO 32000-1 §14.7.4.3)
+ *
+ * It is intended as a fast developer-time gate, not a substitute for a full
+ * reference validator (e.g. veraPDF) which also checks fonts, colour and
+ * rendering. A `valid` result here means the structural prerequisites hold.
