Description
Problem: CORE agent currently can’t read/act on PDF attachments (e.g., emailed PDFs, Slack uploads, WhatsApp docs, etc.).
Task: add first-class PDF support so the CORE agent can ingest a PDF provided in any channel, extract text (and optionally structure like headings/tables), and then run normal agent reasoning/actions on it.
Requirements:
- Works across channels (email attachments, Slack files, WhatsApp documents, web uploads).
- PDF parsing pipeline (OCR fallback for scanned PDFs).
- Preserve page numbers + citation offsets so agent can reference source.
- Enforce size/time limits and safe handling (malicious PDFs).
- UX: agent should acknowledge receipt and ask clarifying question only if extraction is low confidence.
Acceptance notes:
- MVP: text extraction for text-based PDFs.
- V2: OCR for image/scanned PDFs + table extraction.
Labels: enhancement.
