Summary

Add an internal OOXML extraction session so core workbook data can be read
directly from .xlsx / .xlsm archives before a separate default-path migration.

  • Stream worksheet cells and shared strings with defusedxml, preserving current
    cell normalization, cached values, dates, formula maps, hyperlinks and merges.
  • Extract sheet metadata, defined names, print areas and explicit table definitions.
  • Share one lazy ZIP archive across core extraction and optional shapes/charts;
    centralize relationship resolution and preserve external hyperlink targets.
  • Add parity, streaming, archive-lifetime and malformed-XML regression coverage,
    and document the internal contract and limitations.
  • Preserve accepted XML text-segment order and the session-resolved workbook
    path in drawing extraction; index sparse merge followers and hyperlink rows.
  • Record the implemented milestone and deferred migration in the developer roadmap.

The current light-mode/openpyxl pipeline remains unchanged. Formula calculation,
border-based table heuristics and default-path migration are outside this change.

Closes #149.

Tests

  • rtk uv run --extra all pytest tests/core/test_ooxml_extraction_session.py tests/core/test_ooxml_package.py tests/core/test_ooxml_drawing.py tests/core/test_ooxml_relocated_workbook.py -q --tb=short — 27 passed, including review regressions for text ordering, relocated charts/shapes and sparse sheet-wide merges.
  • rtk uv run --extra all pytest -m "not com and not render and not libreoffice" -q --tb=short --cov=exstruct --cov-report=term --cov-fail-under=80 — 1,040 passed, 12 deselected; coverage 83.57% (80% gate passed).
  • All seven tracked sample workbooks and the four-sheet print-area fixture matched
    OpenpyxlBackend cell/link, formula, print-area and merged-range outputs.
  • rtk uv run ruff check . --no-fix — passed.
  • rtk uv run ruff format --check src/exstruct/core/ooxml_session.py src/exstruct/core/ooxml_drawing.py tests/core/test_ooxml_extraction_session.py tests/core/test_ooxml_relocated_workbook.py — passed.
  • rtk uv run --extra all mypy src/exstruct --strict — passed.
  • rtk git diff --check — passed.
  • Independent Orca Codex final review of the original implementation 807e206826ae419aa93bea99be38f0ff4895dd15
    (gpt-6-luna, xhigh) — PASS, no confirmed in-scope findings; the reviewer
    independently reran the focused/full tests, eight-workbook parity, Ruff and mypy.
  • Review follow-up: exact row output equality for 40,000 cells / 200 merges /
    200 links; local row construction changed from 0.684129 s to 0.124096 s on
    first use (0.099105 s cached). This is a synthetic row-only comparison.

Excel COM/render and real LibreOffice runtime tests were excluded. Remote CI
results will be reported by this PR's checks.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds a streaming OoxmlExtractionSession for .xlsx and .xlsm workbook data. It adds shared OOXML relationship helpers and allows rich drawing extraction to reuse the session archive. The existing pipeline continues to use openpyxl.

Changes

OOXML extraction

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shared relationships and drawing reads
src/exstruct/core/ooxml_package.py, src/exstruct/core/ooxml_drawing.py, tests/core/test_ooxml_package.py
Shared helpers parse relationship parts and normalize internal targets. Drawing extraction can use an open archive and workbook path. External worksheet, drawing, and chart relationships are skipped.
Streaming extraction session
src/exstruct/core/ooxml_session.py, src/exstruct/core/backends/ooxml_backend.py, tests/core/test_ooxml_extraction_session.py, tests/core/test_ooxml_relocated_workbook.py
The session reuses a ZIP archive and extracts workbook metadata, cells, formulas, merged cells, print areas, tables, and drawings. The rich backend can use the session for drawing reads. Tests cover parity, parsing, archive lifecycle, and relocated workbook parts.
Extraction documentation and changelog
CHANGELOG.md, dev-docs/README.md, dev-docs/agents/contributing.md, dev-docs/roadmap.md, dev-docs/specs/*
Documentation describes the session, its supported extraction scope, validation, and the continued use of openpyxl by the existing pipeline.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 40296

The new OOXML extraction session is internal, and the default openpyxl pipeline is unchanged. No concrete merge-blocking issue remains. The earlier scalability concern on large worksheets appears to have been fixed.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 40296

This is an opt-in capability rather than a change to default behavior. Workbook access remains read-only, and external references are not fetched. No introduced security vulnerability was established, but concurrent use and broader integration remain unverified.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The inspected new exposure is direct use of the session or explicit injection into the rich backend. Attacker-authored workbook data influences parsing and returned artifacts within one supplied archive; the unchanged default caller does not adopt the new core parser. Process-wide availability effects depend on caller isolation, which was not established.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Attacker-controlled relationship targets remain archive-member names for internal reads. External relationships are identified separately and excluded from worksheet, related-part, table, drawing, and chart reads; hyperlink targets remain output data. Inspected consumers contain no relationship-driven network-fetch or filesystem-extraction sink.
  • observed — The new worksheet parser is bound to defusedxml. A regression explicitly expects entity-bearing worksheet XML to raise EntitiesForbidden, supporting the XML-entity control without establishing exhaustive malformed-input or resource-exhaustion coverage.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Streaming removes completed worksheet and shared-string XML elements, but extracted data and shared strings remain cached until close. The documented API is not constant-memory, so streaming alone does not establish a resource-isolation guarantee for hostile workbooks.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Before broader reuse, explicitly declare the session single-owner and non-thread-safe, or coordinate in-flight reads with close if concurrent use is intended. This would clarify the cleanup boundary; it is not a verified security defect in the inspected caller paths.

356-380: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Fix the multiplicative cost of the merge and link loops in _cell_rows.

_cell_rows runs any(...) over every merged range for every stored cell. That loop costs O(cells × merges).

When include_links=True, the code also scans every emitted row for every hyperlink. That loop costs O(links × rows).

This session exists to stream large worksheets. A sheet with 100k cells and 1k merges needs about 10^8 range checks. A sheet with 10k hyperlinks over 100k rows needs about 10^9 iterations. Each later extract_cells call repeats this work, because _cell_rows runs again on every call even though _read_sheet caches the parsed data.

Do these two things:

  • Build the set of covered follower coordinates once. Only add coordinates that exist in data.values.
  • Find the emitted rows inside r1..r2 with bisect on the sorted row keys.
⚡ Proposed fix

Addressed the reviewed performance and documentation observations in 40296a5.

  • Replaced cells-by-merges scanning with cached follower membership indexed over actual sparse row/column coordinates. No blank merge rectangles are expanded.
  • Hyperlinks use bisect over emitted row keys and retain range, override and filtered-row semantics.
  • Regression coverage includes a merge spanning A4:XFD1048576 with only a few stored values. A 40,000-cell / 200-merge / 200-link comparison asserted exact output equality: original 0.684129 s, revised 0.124096 s, cached 0.099105 s (local row-only timings).
  • Added missing docstrings on session and test helpers and recorded the developer roadmap milestone.

Validation: 27 focused tests, 1,040 full tests with 12 external-runtime tests deselected, coverage 83.57%, eight existing workbook parity comparisons, Ruff, strict mypy and diff checks all passed. Remote checks for the new commit are separate from these local results. The earlier Orca PASS applies to the original 807e206 commit; the follow-up is covered by the updated tests above.
