Summary

Default mode="light" extraction of supported .xlsx and .xlsm workbooks now reads OOXML directly through one shared extraction session. The normal path imports none of openpyxl, xlwings, pandas, or SciPy and opens one ZIP archive instead of two.

  • Preserve cells, formulas, hyperlinks, merged ranges, print areas, explicit and border-based table candidates, shapes, and charts. Add pure scalar/range helpers and Python table clustering for the direct path.
  • Log unsupported requests or direct-reader failures and restart the complete openpyxl compatibility pipeline, discarding partial direct results. Preserve existing loader/backend overrides and other extraction modes.
  • Add output-parity, dependency-isolation, session-lifecycle, shared-formula, duration, and read-only XLSM regression coverage. Update public docs, internal specs, and proposed ADR-0013.
  • Record identical output hashes and lower cold time, warm median, and peak memory for all seven comparison fixtures in the performance report. Synchronize the performance specification with the final raw baseline.

Closes #150.

Tests

  • 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: 1,077 passed, 12 deselected; coverage 83.97%.
  • uv run ruff check . --no-fix and strict mypy: passed. Commit hooks also passed.
  • git diff --check: passed. All seven performance-spec and report rows match the final raw JSON, including rounding and metric ordering.
  • Independent Orca Codex review (gpt-6-luna, xhigh): Pass 1 found one stale documentation table; fixed in 998f922. Pass 2 PASS, with no new findings. Pass 2 checked the documentation fix; it did not rerun the implementation test suite.

Validation limits

  • Benchmarks are local Windows / Python 3.11.13 observations, not universal performance guarantees.
  • COM, render, LibreOffice runtime, and remote CI have not been verified locally for this change.
  • The XLSM regression fixture checks opaque VBA payload/file preservation; an Excel-generated macro-enabled workbook and XLSM-specific performance remain follow-up validation.
  • ADR-0013 remains proposed pending the human design decision.

Devin Review

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Light extraction now reads .xlsx and .xlsm workbooks directly, including cell data, formulas, print areas, tables, and best-effort drawings.
  • Bug Fixes
    • When direct extraction encounters unsupported content or an error, partial results are discarded and extraction restarts through the compatibility path. A warning indicates when this fallback occurs.
    • Drawing failures affect only the affected sheet’s drawing artifacts; results from other sheets are retained.
  • Documentation
    • Updated extraction guides to describe light-mode behavior, fallback handling, and benchmark comparisons. Results showed lower extraction time and memory use on the tested workbooks.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Light-mode .xlsx and .xlsm extraction now uses a direct OOXML pipeline with one shared ZIP session for core and rich data. Unsupported constructs, direct-stage failures, and selected compatibility options route through the complete openpyxl pipeline. Other modes and .xls routing remain unchanged.

Changes

Light-mode OOXML extraction

Layer / File(s) Summary
OOXML parsing and table detection
src/exstruct/core/ooxml_scalars.py, src/exstruct/core/ooxml_session.py, src/exstruct/core/cells.py, src/exstruct/core/ranges.py, tests/core/test_ooxml_*
Pure-Python helpers handle coordinates, ranges, date/time values, and shared-formula translation. The OOXML session adds style and border parsing, print-area handling, merged-range handling, and table detection. Tests compare extraction results with openpyxl behavior.
Pipeline routing and compatibility restart
src/exstruct/core/pipeline.py, src/exstruct/errors.py, src/exstruct/core/backends/*, tests/core/test_light_ooxml_pipeline.py, tests/core/test_backend_import_isolation.py
Light-mode .xlsx and .xlsm requests use direct OOXML unless compatibility is selected. A direct-stage failure discards partial output and restarts the complete openpyxl pipeline with an ooxml_compatibility reason. Drawing failures remain isolated by sheet.
Extraction contracts and documentation
README*, docs/api.md, docs/cli.md, dev-docs/adr/*, dev-docs/architecture/pipeline.md, dev-docs/specs/*, dev-docs/testing/test-requirements.md, CHANGELOG.md
The documentation describes the direct path, fallback conditions, Python table clustering, and behavior retained for other modes and .xls inputs. ADR-0013 records the backend selection.
Benchmark tooling and measurements
benchmark/issue150_light.py, benchmark/performance*.py, benchmark/baselines/*, benchmark/issue150-results.md, dev-docs/specs/extraction-performance.md, tests/benchmark/test_performance.py
The comparison runner measures both backends and checks output hashes. The recorded Windows run reports matching hashes for seven inputs and includes timing, memory, resource-open, and import measurements.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to db656

Light-mode xlsx/xlsm extraction now uses a new direct parsing path. No concrete defects were found, and unsupported cases fall back to the previous pipeline. Output parity on real-world workbooks beyond the tested fixtures remains worth watching after merge.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to db656

The inspected paths preserve data-only extraction, resource cleanup and complete restart after propagated failures. No introduced security vulnerability was established, but protection parity for hostile workbooks has not been fully verified.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — Attacker-controlled workbook content can reach the new parser when a caller requests supported light extraction. The evidenced processing scope is the caller's process and supplied workbook; deployment-specific privileges, tenant sharing and downstream consumers were not established.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Direct package parsing uses defusedxml, reads ZIP members without filesystem extraction, normalizes internal relationship targets and excludes external relationships when resolving workbook and worksheet parts. This establishes local controls, not complete safeguard equivalence with openpyxl.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Drawing parse errors can produce empty rich output without triggering compatibility restart. That best-effort behavior and its use in light extraction already existed in the base; it is not retained as an introduced security concern.
  • observed — Compatibility restart reopens the supplied path without pinning content identity. The base also performed independent path-based reads, so immutable-input guarantees were not established before this PR either. Production file-mutation constraints remain unknown.

🔴 Merged sheets stall table detection

On a densely scanned sheet with many merges, _merge_at tests every merge for each cell. A 1,000,000-cell scan with 500 merges can require 500 million containment checks before table candidates return.

Learn more

Light extraction builds a worksheet view and passes it to detect_tables_openpyxl_ws. Its border scanner reads every cell in the selected rectangle via load_border_maps_openpyxl_ws, up to the configured 5,000-row and 200-column limits. Each read currently searches all merged ranges, even if no merge covers that coordinate. This makes the direct path's work proportional to scanned cells times merged ranges; reading candidate values repeats the search.

Example: A sheet with 500 merges and populated or bordered cells throughout 5,000 rows and 200 columns scans one million cells. The merge lookup alone can test up to 500 million ranges, instead of making roughly one lookup per cell.

Recommended fix: Index merged ranges by relevant row or column intervals when constructing _OoxmlWorksheetView, then use that index in _merge_at. Preserve the existing anchor and inherited-border behavior and add a dense-sheet/many-merges regression or bounded-work test.

- Around line 295-304: Update the merge lookup used by `_merge_at` to avoid
scanning every entry in `_merges` for each coordinate. Build an index once
during initialization—preferably row-bucketed column intervals to avoid
expanding large merges—and have `_merge_at` use that index while preserving the
current first-match behavior for overlaps.
