"""
Strip PDF/HTML extraction artefacts from corpus markdown.

Three classes of noise are addressed:

1. **Hard rules** — always stripped:
   - Control characters (form-feeds, NULs, etc. that escape from PDF parsing)
   - Standalone page numbers (`^\\s*\\d+\\s*$`)
   - Page header/footer patterns (`X | 37`, `X | P a g e`)
   - Known UI chrome (Material Design icon labels, TOC nav arrows, video transcript markers)

2. **Auto-detected boilerplate** — stripped with a high-confidence threshold:
   - Any line of 12–100 chars that appears more than 10 times in a single document
   - Skips lines that look like markdown headings, metadata key:value lines, or list markers
   - Catches "Health Information Privacy Code 2020" repeating 27× as a page header

3. **Cosmetic cleanup** — collapse runs of 3+ blank lines to a paragraph break.

Returns (cleaned_text, stats_dict) so the caller can log what was removed.

Used by all `build_*_compilation.py` scripts via `from clean_artifacts import clean_corpus_artifacts`.
