Research direction
Reproduce the behavior with the linked Supreme Court PDF and the referenced screen recording, confirming that a selection spanning pages cannot be annotated. Trace the PDF selection and annotation flow from that reproduction, then verify that a cross-page selection can be submitted and displayed as one annotation without breaking single-page selections.
