Pandoc reads markdown, so every Word export had to flatten the resource to
markdown first — and a deck flattened to markdown stops being one. A comparison
became two headings and two lists, a callout became bold text, and a figure
became nothing at all, because markdown has nowhere to put it.

src/utils/docSpec.js reduces either source to the same blocks: a stored deck
where there is one, the markdown where there is not. scripts/render_docx.py
draws them. A comparison comes out as a labelled two-column table, a callout as
a shaded box, a table as a real table, a figure embedded at its own aspect ratio
with its caption, and speaker notes as muted indented text.

The deck wins over the markdown beside it, because that markdown is a
serialisation of the deck and reading it instead would be reading a lossy copy of
what is right there.

Word now carries the figures too. The export route skipped fetching them for
docx, which was correct when pandoc could not place them and wrong the moment
this could.

Pandoc stays installed and stays the fallback: a plainer document beats a failed
download. Both renderers now share one spawn helper.

Verified end to end: a deck with two figures exported as a six-page Word document
with both images embedded (537KB, two files in word/media), rendered to PDF and
looked at — the comparison is a labelled table, the figure sits at its true
aspect ratio, and the notes read as notes.

The model that writes a deck never sees it. It cannot tell that slide four
overflowed, that a nine-item list would read better in two columns, or that two
labelled groups want to be a comparison — those are facts about the rendered
page, not about the text. So each generated deck is now rendered to PDF through
Gotenberg, rasterised to one image per slide with pdftoppm, and shown to a
vision model.

Off unless an administrator names a reviewer, in its own admin card because it
is the one setting that spends money on every generation without a user having
asked for anything. One pass, on generation only: a second pass costs as much as
the first and fixes far less, and refining is a text edit.

It returns a patch, not a deck. Asking for the corrected deck back put the reply
in proportion to the deck rather than to the number of problems, and a
fourteen-slide deck came back cut off mid-object at every output budget the
provider would honour — measured twice before changing shape.

The patch is better for a second reason. The reviewer names a slide and an
action — two columns, one column, split after bullet N, compare with these two
labels — and the server moves the text it already has. The words never pass
through the model, so a review cannot reword, drop or invent a single bullet.
That is a stronger guarantee than instructing it not to and checking afterwards.

The check runs anyway, because a bug in applyChanges would be as bad as a model
rewriting the words and worse for being trusted: body text must come out the
same multiset, figures the same set, and a heading may only be reused or
extended. A continuation heading is the reviewer's one piece of text and is
replaced when it does not continue anything.

Nothing here can fail a generation — no reviewer, an unreachable one, an
unparseable reply, a deck too long to look at, or a patch that applies to
nothing each return the deck that was written.

Verified end to end against a deck with a deliberately overloaded slide: three
slides rendered and sent, one change returned, ten bullets split into five and
five under "Stepwise Management … (continued)", text intact. Left switched off;
enable it under Admin.

fa2e7523d6 docs: My Resources, sign-in codes, invitations, and what the image carries

Nothing documented My Resources, the slide renderer, PubMed or web search, and
the authentication doc predated both sign-in codes and registration invitations.

docs/my-resources.md is new and covers the feature end to end: what a resource
is, where its material comes from, why both searches run in the route rather
than as tools the model never called, why keyword engines get the topic while
retrieval gets the instruction too, how a presentation is designed as a deck
rather than written as markdown, the separate multi-image path, and what the
export pipeline is made of.

docs/authentication.md gains sign-in codes — storage, lifetime, reuse,
supersession, guessing, and that two-factor still applies — and registration
invitations, including the exact condition that decides when a code may be
deleted and why it is written to match the status the list displays. Both new
rate limits are in the table, with a note that Express matches app.use paths on
segment boundaries, so a new sign-in endpoint needs its own limiter or it has
none at all.

docs/deployment.md now says what the runtime image carries and why — pandoc for
Word, python3 with apk-installed lxml and pillow for the slide renderer,
python-pptx pinned, and that PDF conversion is not in the image at all but goes
to Gotenberg, so Word and PowerPoint still work when it is down.

docs/configuration.md picks up LOGIN_RATE_LIMIT_MAX, LOGIN_CODE_RATE_LIMIT_MAX
and GOTENBERG_URL, none of which were listed. README gains a My Resources
section and indexes the two new docs.
