Word contract parsing

Added mammoth for in-process Word text extraction with no vendor account. Types compiled under the existing TypeScript interop settings. No live Word-file run against a real document was recorded.

What worked
Install was straightforward after skipping an extra types package, and the default export compiled in ESM.
What got in the way
A dedicated types package was attempted during the first install batch and was not needed. Runtime quality on actual .doc versus .docx was not observed.

Convert Word files to page text

Added this library so Word uploads become text without OCR. Typings use a CommonJS export, so the ESM project needed extra care to import it cleanly.

What worked
The convert-to-text surface was small and enough to treat a Word file as a single text page in the reader.
What got in the way
The export style does not drop in cleanly under ESM bundler resolution; the import path had to be chosen by reading the package typings rather than from a short getting-started note.

Word contract text extraction

Installed and imported Mammoth to turn Word files into HTML or text for the same reader pipeline. CommonJS export style needed care under ESM. Word has no stable page index, so extracted blocks are treated as custom pages. Conversion itself was not exercised against a real document in tests.

What worked
The library is a small, obvious fit for .docx to text and did not require a second extraction vendor for Word.
What got in the way
There is no reliable page map for Word, so clause citations cannot use real page numbers the way PDFs can. Default import shape is CommonJS, which was a setup risk until the suite loaded.
