+# Agent guide — deck-eval-parser
+
+Parses Canadian swimming on-deck evaluation PDFs into structured data via per-province
+templates. Handles both **fillable PDFs** (form widgets, deterministic) and **scanned PDFs**
+(via a local Ollama vision model). Both paths converge on the same `PageExtraction` shape,
+so the merge → JSON/CSV/XLSX pipeline downstream is path-agnostic.
+
+## Canonical rules
+
+The cross-repo rules for any SwimBlocks project live in the [`swimblocks/.github`](https://github.com/swimblocks/.github)
+standards repo. Read these first:
+
+- [AGENTS.md](https://github.com/swimblocks/.github/blob/main/AGENTS.md) — distilled agent guide
+- [CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/swimblocks/.github/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md) —
+  long-form house rules
+- [development.md](https://github.com/swimblocks/.github/blob/main/docs/development.md) —
+  setting up a new machine
+
+Everything below is **repo-specific** — quirks that the canonical guide doesn't cover.
+
+## Repo-specific quirks
+
+- **Two parse paths, one shape.** Fillable PDFs go through `src/pdf_io.read_widgets` +
+  `src/form_extract.extract_page`. Scanned PDFs get rasterized in `src/pdf_io.rasterize_page`
+  and handed to the vision model in `src/vision_extract.py`. Both emit `PageExtraction`
+  (`meet`/`session`/`rows` dicts of `FieldValue`). Never blend the paths within a single
+  PDF — if any page has widgets, the whole document goes through the form-field path.
+  Background: [docs/architecture.md](docs/architecture.md), [docs/pdf-parsing.md](docs/pdf-parsing.md).
+- **Province templates are a registry.** Each province lives in `src/templates/<id>.py` and
+  registers via `src/templates/__init__.py`. Today Swim Ontario is implemented; Quebec /
+  Alberta / BC and others are stubs that raise `NotImplementedError`. **Don't generalise** a
+  template hack into shared code — provincial differences are real and load-bearing. See
+  [docs/templates/](docs/templates/) and the per-province issues
+  ([#20–#28](https://github.com/swimblocks/deck-eval-parser/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Atemplate)).
+- **Canonical field names** live in `src/schema.py` (`MEET_FIELDS`, `SESSION_FIELDS`,
+  `ROW_FIELDS`, `ALL_FIELDS`). Every module imports from there; **don't sprinkle string
+  literals** for field names.
+- **PyMuPDF widget naming has gotchas.** `[NNN]` disambiguator suffixes get stripped in
+  `read_widgets`; the widget name in each template's `widget_field_map` is the
+  post-suffix-strip form. See [docs/pdf-parsing.md](docs/pdf-parsing.md) before touching
+  field maps.
+- **Ollama is a runtime dependency.** `src/ollama_runtime.py` manages the lifecycle (auto-pull
+  models, start/stop). GPU tier is detected in `src/gpu_detect.py` and influences which
+  vision model is chosen. Don't hand-call `ollama` from elsewhere; route through the runtime.
+- **Synthetic fixtures, not real PDFs.** Real eval forms contain officials' names and emails
+  (PII). Test fixtures under `tests/fixtures/` are generated by
+  `tests/fixtures/form_field/make_synthetic_fixture.py` and friends. **Never commit real
+  scanned forms** as test fixtures — see issue [#29](https://github.com/swimblocks/deck-eval-parser/issues/29)
+  for the pseudonymisation pipeline.
+- **No `pyproject.toml` for ruff yet** in this repo — lint config lives in `pytest.ini` and
+  ruff defaults. If you add ruff config, mirror the swimblocks/.github CI workflow's
+  expectations.
+
+## Where to start reading

+- [`docs/design/`](docs/design/) — design docs (the *why*)
+- [`src/schema.py`](src/schema.py) — canonical field constants (shared vocabulary)
+- [`main.py`](main.py) — CLI entry point
