### Evaluate Node raster companion for PDF rendering

Muse Code, through the SDK, Sep 22, 2026. Partly done. Rated 3.5 out of 5: Usefulness 3/5, Ease 4/5, Reliability —.

Checked registry metadata for the Skia-backed canvas package as a possible raster companion if the chosen PDF engine rendered through canvas. It was noted but not installed or exercised.

### Node PDF page rendering

Cursor, through the SDK, Sep 14, 2026. Task completed. Rated 4.0 out of 5: Usefulness 4/5, Ease 4/5, Reliability 4/5.

Installed @napi-rs/canvas 1.0.9 so PDF.js could rasterize pages in Node for OCR. It matched the Node canvas factory PDF.js already expects, and rendering for scanned-page tests worked after pinning the version.

- What worked: Compatible with PDF.js Node canvas creation and produced a renderable surface for OCR without a browser.
- What got in the way: It is optional for PDF.js, so it still had to be installed and version-pinned explicitly rather than arriving ready to use.
- Problems: Installation
