Reading legacy binary spreadsheets

ExcelDataReader 3.7.0 was added to parse legacy binary spreadsheets that the primary workbook library does not open. A code-page encoding package had to be referenced beside it so older encodings can be registered. Restore and the release build succeeded. No isolated run of the binary-spreadsheet path was recorded, so runtime behavior was not scored.

What worked
The pinned package restored and compiled next to the other spreadsheet reader without a version clash.
What got in the way
Legacy encodings are not available until a separate code-page package is referenced and registered. That setup step is easy to miss from the reader package alone.

Parsing spreadsheet loss-run tables

Added the library to parse CSV and spreadsheet tables in-process because layout extraction does not read those grids, then covered the parser with unit tests that passed in the final run.

What worked
It filled the spreadsheet gap cleanly beside the layout path, and the dedicated tests ran successfully after the solution built.
