fix: remediate document parser advisories

[0xMassi]

Summary

• upgrade PDF, XML, spreadsheet, and compatible transitive dependencies
• add PDF header/page safety bounds
• preserve XML entities across quick-xml 0.41 split events
• release workspace version 0.6.22

Verification

• cargo test --workspace
• cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings
• cargo audit (0 vulnerabilities; 2 unmaintained warnings)
• staged sensitive-material scan clean

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes

  • Improved XML extraction so entities and text split across events are preserved correctly in DOCX, ArXiv, and sitemap content.
  • Improved handling of whitespace and empty metadata values during document and feed parsing.
  • PDF files are now recognized when the header appears within the supported specification window.
  • PDFs exceeding 10,000 pages are rejected safely.

• Improvements

  • Updated the application release version.
  • Hosted deployments can now skip unnecessary local inference checks.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change updates package versions, centralizes XML entity decoding, improves DOCX, ArXiv, and sitemap parsing, adds PDF header and page limits, and adds a cloud provider-chain constructor.

Changes

Parsing and validation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Shared XML decoding crates/webclaw-fetch/src/lib.rs, crates/webclaw-fetch/src/xml.rs, crates/webclaw-fetch/Cargo.toml	Adds shared helpers for XML text, references, and attributes. Updates quick-xml and calamine.
DOCX and ArXiv extraction crates/webclaw-fetch/src/document.rs, crates/webclaw-fetch/src/extractors/arxiv.rs	Decodes XML events through shared helpers and accumulates text across events. ArXiv fields and author names are trimmed during finalization.
Sitemap event accumulation crates/webclaw-fetch/src/sitemap.rs	Accumulates decoded URL, location, and priority text before finalizing values.
PDF header and page validation crates/webclaw-pdf/Cargo.toml, crates/webclaw-pdf/src/lib.rs	Upgrades pdf-extract, scans a 1,024-byte header window, and rejects PDFs with more than 10,000 pages.
Default provider construction crates/webclaw-llm/src/chain.rs	Adds ProviderChain::cloud_default, which skips the Ollama availability probe.
Release and test maintenance Cargo.toml, crates/webclaw-fetch/src/url_security.rs, crates/webclaw-fetch/tests/bench_1k.rs	Updates the workspace version to 0.6.22 and simplifies equivalent test expressions.

Inline comments:
In `@crates/webclaw-pdf/src/lib.rs`:
- Around line 61-62: Adjust the header scan around header_window and the %PDF-
validation so a five-byte marker beginning at PDF_HEADER_WINDOW - 1 remains
eligible under the 1,024-byte contract; scan enough bytes for the marker or
explicitly include all valid start positions, and add a regression test covering
that boundary.
- Line 69: Replace the full page-count collection used by the MAX_PDF_PAGES
check with a bounded count from doc.page_iter().take(MAX_PDF_PAGES + 1), then
reject when that count exceeds MAX_PDF_PAGES while preserving the existing limit
behavior.
