Description

Describe the bug
When specifying output_format as csv, the response from the api is different when split_pdf_page is True or False. When False, the elements contain an extra metadata field: text_as_html. This also means the element id does not match.

To Reproduce
_test_unstructured_client/integration/test_decorators.py::test_integration_split_csv_response illustrates this, but is passing because it asserts on a shortened string.

Expected behavior
The response to be identical whether or not split_pdf_page is True or False.

Research direction

Start with _test_unstructured_client/integration/test_decorators.py::test_integration_split_csv_response and replace its shortened assertion with a comparison that exposes the extra text_as_html field and differing element id. Trace the CSV response handling for split_pdf_page=True and False; done means both responses are identical and the integration test checks the full result.
