+    const imageStream = Readable.toWeb(Readable.from(image.data));
+    await ctx.blob.put(imageBlobId, imageStream, {
+      name: imageFilename,


The variable imageFilename is redundant and reduces code clarity. The comment indicates image.id already contains the complete filename. The variable should be removed and image.id used directly in subsequent code (line 418) to eliminate unnecessary indirection.

Suggested change

const imageFilename = `${image.id}`; // ID already includes extension (e.g., "img-0.jpeg")

const imageBlobId = `${BLOB_PREFIX}/${folderId}/${imageFilename}`;

const imageStream = Readable.toWeb(Readable.from(image.data));

+  let timeoutId: NodeJS.Timeout;
+  const timeoutPromise = new Promise<never>((_, reject) => {
+    timeoutId = setTimeout(() => {


The variable timeoutId is declared with let but assigned inside the Promise constructor, which means it may be undefined when clearTimeout(timeoutId) is called on line 345. This creates a race condition where if the Promise rejects/resolves before the setTimeout callback assigns the value, the cleanup will fail. Declare and assign timeoutId before creating timeoutPromise to ensure it's always defined for cleanup.

+      // Create a base64 string that decodes to > 50MB
+      // 50MB = 52,428,800 bytes, base64 encoding increases size by ~33%
+      // So we need about 70MB of base64 data
+      const largeSizeBytes = 51 * 1024 * 1024; // 51MB


The comment on lines 250-251 is misleading. The test creates a 51MB buffer and then base64-encodes it (line 255), which actually creates ~68MB of base64 data. However, the tool validates the decoded size (line 520 in document-to-markdown.ts), not the base64 size. The comment should clarify that the 51MB buffer will decode to 51MB, which exceeds the 50MB limit, making the base64 size discussion irrelevant to this validation.

Suggested change

// Create a base64 string that decodes to > 50MB

// 50MB = 52,428,800 bytes, base64 encoding increases size by ~33%

// So we need about 70MB of base64 data

const largeSizeBytes = 51 * 1024 * 1024; // 51MB

// Create a base64 string whose decoded content is > 50MB

// 50MB = 52,428,800 bytes; the size check is performed on the decoded bytes

// So a 51MB buffer is sufficient to exceed the 50MB limit when decoded

const largeSizeBytes = 51 * 1024 * 1024; // 51MB decoded

I am not sure how should I feel about changing so many things in package.lock? was this really necessary ?

why mistral ? maybe lets have some generic llm support or an interface where we can implement multiple llm

Mistral was selected because it is best performing for pdf->markdown conversion.

but i agree, the way we create new LLM clients is very "all over the place".

Should 1 be a constant? e.g. DEFAULT_PAGE_START = 1.

We should add some validation for input params, like page start not being bigger than page end, can it be negative, etc.

Perhaps we should revisit the whole prompt and try to narrow it down somewhat? This could influence the context of the llm quite a lot, especially for other tool which heavily rely on the llm for final processing, like retrieval for example

Tried the prompt quite a bit and works pretty well. Also checked and it's only 4k tokens - with nmost models having now 200k or 400k context window, I don't see this as an issue I think?

Hmm In this context I see document-to-markdown tool instructions even if that is a plugin which is not always included? or am I missing something

This tool is part of the dkg essentials plugin, which contains basic tools that enable the DKG agent (DKG interaction tools + this basic document processing) - so yes, the plugin is always included and comes out of the box.

- Extract DocumentConversionProvider interface for pluggable OCR backends - Move Mistral-specific code to providers/mistral.ts - Add provider registry with factory pattern (createProvider, getAvailableProviders) - Split into modular structure: types, validation, blob-integration, providers - Support runtime provider selection via DOCUMENT_CONVERSION_PROVIDER env var - Add createDocumentToMarkdownPlugin() factory for custom configuration - Update tests with provider registry and mock provider tests - Update documentation with provider abstraction usage

Why load a lazy provider if the tool will fail without a valid provider later on? We should fail fast here with a constructive error, it's easier to debug and less code to maintain
