Merge pull request #99 from richardr1126/pdf/parse-fixes

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **New Features**
  * Expose PDF parser version system-wide; parser-version-aware parsing, reuse, and caching. Added tokenized temp upload flow, presign/finalize endpoints, and server-side DOCX→PDF conversion.
  * Playback readiness propagated to TTS players/pages; unified upload/delete APIs and simplified uploader/sidebar UX.

* **Bug Fixes**
  * Normalize stored parse state to current parser version to avoid stale readiness and improve reuse.
  * Prevent premature playback starts and redundant preparation.

* **Tests**
  * Added unit and E2E tests for parser-version handling, op-key inclusion, parse-state behavior, and canonical upload reuse.
