"""Helpers for the optional markitdown document-extraction dependency.

markitdown (MIT, Microsoft) converts Office/EPUB documents to Markdown, which is
more token-efficient and model-legible than a raw text dump. It is **optional**:
install with `pip install -r requirements-optional.txt`. When absent, callers
degrade gracefully (chat shows a hint; the RAG indexer skips the file) — the MIT
core never hard-depends on it. Mirrors the optional-dependency pattern in
`src/pdf_runtime.py`.
