Add initial Go package and release automation - #121
Conversation
Add the native Go Office-to-PDF foundation, CLI, tests, CI, and tag-driven release automation.
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe PR adds a Go module that converts DOCX, XLSX, and PPTX files to PDF. It includes a PDF writer, library API, CLI, tests, documentation, continuous integration, and multi-platform release automation. ChangesGo Office-to-PDF module
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to Common Office documents can produce incorrect or invalid PDFs, an output-path mistake can destroy the source document, and crafted input can exhaust memory. The release credential exposure also creates supply-chain risk, so these issues should be fixed before merge. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

🟡 Changes recommended
The PDF string escaping currently emits UTF-8 for non-ASCII characters, which can corrupt PDF text content, and should be fixed before approval.

Pull request overview
This PR introduces an experimental native Go implementation of MiniPdf, including basic OOXML (DOCX/XLSX/PPTX) text extraction, a dependency-free PDF 1.4 writer, a minipdf CLI, and GitHub Actions workflows to validate and publish Go module/CLI releases via minipdf-go/v* tags.
Changes:
- Added Go library entrypoints for converting DOCX/XLSX/PPTX to PDF, plus shared OOXML helpers.
- Implemented a minimal PDF 1.4 writer and a
minipdf-go/cmd/minipdfCLI with page size options. - Added Go CI and tag-driven release automation, plus Go-specific documentation and tests.

actions/checkout v6 persist-credentials default true README
💡 Result:
In actions/checkout v6, the persist-credentials input defaults to true [1][2][3]. This setting controls whether the repository's authentication token or SSH key is configured in the local git configuration [1][2]. When set to true (the default), the action configures the token or SSH key, allowing your workflow scripts to run authenticated git commands (e.g., git fetch, git push) [2][3]. The action automatically removes these credentials during the post-job cleanup process [2][3]. Starting with v6, the persist-credentials functionality was improved to store credentials in a separate file located under $RUNNER_TEMP rather than directly within the repository's .git/config file, providing enhanced security [2][3]. To opt out of this behavior, you can explicitly set persist-credentials: false in your workflow configuration [2][3].

🌐 Web query:
actions/checkout v6 credential helper RUNNER_TEMP persist-credentials source local git configuration
💡 Result:
In actions/checkout v6, the behavior of the persist-credentials input was updated to improve security by removing sensitive credentials from the local .git/config file [1][2]. Instead of writing credentials directly into the repository's .git/config, the action now stores them in a separate file located in the directory specified by the RUNNER_TEMP environment variable [1][2]. The action then configures Git to use these credentials via an includeIf directive in the local .git/config, which points to this external file [3]. Key implications of this change include: * Enhanced Security: Storing credentials in RUNNER_TEMP reduces the risk of accidentally leaking sensitive tokens through workspace archiving, such as when using upload-artifact or creating cache entries [2]. * Runner Requirements: For Docker container actions, a minimum Actions Runner version of v2.329.0 is required to properly access the credentials in their new location [1][4]. If you are using Docker container actions, you must ensure the runner has access to this path, often by mounting $RUNNER_TEMP into the container (e.g., -v "$RUNNER_TEMP:/github/runner_temp") [5]. * Git Worktrees: Early versions of v6 experienced issues where the includeIf directive failed to match Git worktrees, causing authentication failures [3]. This was addressed in v6.0.1 by adding a broader includeIf pattern that includes subdirectories for worktrees [3]. This process remains transparent for most standard workflows; no changes to workflow YAML files are required for typical repository checkouts [1][2]. You can still disable this behavior entirely by setting persist-credentials: false in your workflow configuration [1][6].

Disable persisted checkout credentials before running repository code.
Each actions/checkout@v6 step leaves the checkout token available to later Git commands by default. In v6, Git uses an includeIf entry in .git/config that points to a credential file under RUNNER_TEMP. Set persist-credentials: false on all three checkout steps, especially in the release workflow with contents: write.

Reject an output path that resolves to the input file.
os.WriteFile truncates an existing target. ConvertToPDFWithOptions("file.docx", "file.docx", ...) therefore destroys the source after conversion. This is reachable from minipdf-go/cmd/minipdf/main.go through -o.
Before conversion, compare existing input and output files with os.SameFile and return an error when they identify the same file.

Validate ConversionOptions.PageSize before rendering. A direct PageSize literal can reach renderTextPages through the exported conversion entrypoints. PDFDocument.Bytes then writes its zero, negative, NaN, or infinite dimensions directly into /MediaBox; NaN and infinity produce invalid PDF numbers. Validate the override in renderTextPages, propagate the validation error, and do not render invalid geometry.

Encode text as WinAnsi bytes before writing the PDF literal string.
Line 191 writes UTF-8 bytes while the PDF font declares /Encoding /WinAnsiEncoding. For example, é becomes C3 A9, which a PDF reader decodes as é. This corrupts non-ASCII DOCX, XLSX, and PPTX text. Encode supported runes to WinAnsi bytes, and replace only unmappable runes with ?.

This appends cells only in encounter order. For <c r="A1"> followed by <c r="C1">, the PDF renders the second value as column B. Parse the column from r and insert empty cells before the value.
