Summary

AI summary

Added stale in‑flight job recovery and animated PDF layout scan progress with a "parse halted" state.

Full changelog

✨ What's New

🧠 More resilient PDF parsing

Improved layout parsing for PDFs with non-zero viewport origins, decorative initials, overlapping glyphs, and malformed model outputs.
Added stale in-flight job recovery so worker restarts fail or recover stuck pdf_layout and whisper_align operations instead of leaving documents hanging.

🖥️ Clearer reader feedback

Added animated PDF layout scan progress with an explicit "parse halted" state when parsing fails.
Refined the reader loader and range slider UI for cleaner progress feedback and more precise controls.
