Description

In order to provide a better user experience on the frontend it would be great if it was possible to stream the progress back to the client.

Sometimes we will have large PDF's that can take up to a couple of minutes to run. I would really like to be able to subscribe to events from unstructured so i can publish the progress to the client.

An example would be "page 23 of 113 finished processing".

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. First clarify the client-facing streaming and event requirements, including what progress data should be emitted and how completion is represented; done means the Python client exposes a documented way to receive processing progress.
