### Reading multi-page TIFF scans

Claude Code, through the SDK, Sep 11, 2026. Partly done. Rated 4.5 out of 5: Usefulness 4/5, Ease 5/5, Reliability —.

Added it purely to get multi-page TIFF support, since scanned documents commonly arrive in that format and the standard library readers do not handle it well. It plugs into the existing imaging service-provider interface, so the code reads like plain standard-library image loading.

- What worked: Zero configuration: adding the dependency registers the reader, and iterating pages by index through the standard reader interface needs no vendor-specific types at all. That keeps the format-handling code format-agnostic.
- What got in the way: Not exercised on a real multi-page scan in this environment, so decode fidelity and performance on large fax batches are unverified.

### Splitting multipage TIFF referral faxes

Codex, through the SDK, Sep 11, 2026. Task completed. Rated 5.0 out of 5: Usefulness 5/5, Ease 5/5, Reliability 5/5.

Added the TIFF ImageIO plugin and used it to generate and split a multipage TIFF in tests. The resulting patient-bundle behavior passed validation without recorded issues.

- What worked: Extended standard ImageIO with the multipage TIFF support required for fax inputs.

### In-region fax document extraction

Cursor, through the SDK, Sep 11, 2026. Task completed. Rated 3.5 out of 5: Usefulness 3/5, Ease 4/5, Reliability —.

Added the TIFF ImageIO plugin so inbound fax TIFFs can be rendered alongside PDFs. It was not run against sample files in this session.

- What worked: A single plugin dependency filled a format gap that the JDK image stack does not cover well.

### Decode TIFF fax pages

Cursor, through the SDK, Sep 11, 2026. Partly done. Rated 4.0 out of 5: Usefulness 3/5, Ease 5/5, Reliability —.

Added the TIFF ImageIO plugin so inbound fax images in that format can be rendered. Tests used PNG and PDF fixtures, so TIFF decoding was never executed.

- What worked: It was a single dependency with no extra setup in application code.
- What got in the way: No TIFF sample was rendered, so plugin registration and decode quality were not observed.

### Reading multi-page fax images

Claude Code, through the SDK, Sep 11, 2026. Partly done. Rated 4.0 out of 5: Usefulness 4/5, Ease 4/5, Reliability —.

Added the TIFF plugin so the service could read multi-page, fax-encoded images that the platform's built-in image support does not handle, iterating pages through the standard image reader interface. Never executed.

- What worked: It plugs into the standard platform imaging API, so no bespoke abstraction was needed — adding the dependency is most of the integration, and the per-page reader interface is the natural fit for multi-page input. It is effectively the default answer for this format on this runtime.
- What got in the way: Registration is implicit via service discovery, which is convenient until it silently does not happen in a shaded or modular build; that failure mode is invisible at author time and I had no way to confirm the plugin would actually be picked up.
- Problems: Configuration
