Add Neo4j as an optional graph-native storage layer (ingestion profile).
Introduces infra/neo4j with a singleton async driver wrapper and an
idempotent bootstrap of constraints + indexes, wired into the FastAPI
lifespan. Integration tests skip when no live Neo4j is reachable.
Refs #186
Hybrid approach: reuse LocalChunker to chunk the DoclingDocument JSON
returned by Serve, so chunking works identically in both local and
remote modes without calling Serve's chunk endpoint.
Backend:
- _build_chunker() always returns LocalChunker (remove engine guard)
- Use docling-core[chunking] extra for required dependencies
- Skip client-side batching in remote mode (Serve manages its own
resources, and batching discards document_json needed for chunking)
- Fix Serve form fields: remove generate_page_images (not a Serve
field), use repeated form keys for to_formats and page_range
- Log Serve error response body on 4xx/5xx for diagnosis
- Fix FastAPI 204 DELETE routes missing response_model=None
Frontend:
- Update chunking feature flag to enable Prepare UI in remote mode
Closes#51
pypdfium2 is imported in analysis_service for PDF page counting
(batch feature #56) but was missing from requirements.txt, causing
CI collection errors on all 4 test modules.
domain/ must be pure with no external dependencies. bbox.py imports
docling_core and belongs in infra/. Also refactor ServeConverter to
use the canonical to_topleft_list via BoundingBox instead of
duplicated manual coordinate conversion. Move docling-core to base
requirements since it is now needed in both modes.
Implement the HTTP client adapter that delegates document conversion
to a remote Docling Serve instance via its /v1/convert/file endpoint.
Switchable via CONVERSION_ENGINE=remote env var. Includes health check,
API key auth, response parsing, and 30 new tests covering parsing,
type mapping, HTTP calls, and DI wiring.
