Bundle a static pdftotext into the binary
The PDF parsers shell out to pdftotext, so every machine running money needed poppler-utils installed. scripts/build-bundled.sh now builds a deployable binary that carries its own: pdftotext is compiled in a container from a checksum-pinned poppler release as a fully static musl executable, then embedded with `go build -tags bundled`. The result is one file that runs on any Linux of that architecture with nothing installed alongside it. It is still the real pdftotext, run as a subprocess. Linking poppler through cgo would have cost the pure-Go build, and its C++ text API is not guaranteed to space columns the way pdftotext -layout does, which is what the parsers were tuned on. Only what text extraction needs is compiled in -- no fontconfig, cairo or image codecs -- and its output is byte-identical to a full distro build on the same PDF. At runtime the embedded copy is written to the user cache directory, not /tmp, which servers often mount noexec. It is named by content hash, so a newer build never runs an older copy, and verified before reuse, so a write cut short by a killed process is replaced rather than trusted. `money config` says which pdftotext is in use. The tag is opt-in: plain go build and go test never need the 5 MB executable, which is gitignored rather than committed. Building with the tag for anything but linux/amd64 or linux/arm64 fails with a message saying so. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
