- Add isDevelopmentMode() function to check for localhost
- Allow localhost requests without API key in dev mode
- Enables web interface to work without auth configuration
- Production deployments still require API keys
This allows the web UI to function on localhost:8000 without
requiring developers to configure API keys for local testing.

Issue Numbering System:
📍 Issues with visual markers now show #1, #2, #3, etc.
- Yellow badge "📍#5" appears on issues with page locations
- Click badge to jump to Visual Page Inspector and highlight marker
- Numbers correlate between issue list and page markers
Smart Marker Grouping:
🎯 Multiple issues at same location = ONE marker
- Example: 8 issues on one image → Shows "1+7" badge
- Hover shows ALL issues at that location in tooltip
- Prevents marker overlap and clutter
- First issue number + count of additional issues
Table Coordinate Support:
📊 Tables now have visual markers
- Extract bounding box from pdfplumber find_tables()
- Tables highlighted with orange warning boxes
- Each table gets its own marker
Enhanced Tooltips:
💬 Hover markers to see multiple issues:
- Lists all issues at that coordinate
- Shows severity, description, and fix for each
- Scrollable for locations with many issues
- "3 issues at this location:" header
Interactive Features:
- Click 📍#5 badge in issue list → jumps to page & pulses marker
- Hover marker → see all issues there
- Larger badges for multi-issue locations (18px vs 16px)
- White stroke around badges for better visibility
Result: Page 1 with 3 images & 24 issues = 3 clean markers instead of 24!

Issue: Issues still showing in 1 column instead of 2-3
Cause: Inline style="display: block;" overriding CSS grid
Fix:
- Removed inline display styles from issue sections
- Updated toggle function to use display: grid
- Reduced minmax from 480px to 320px for better fit
- Changed breakpoint from 1200px to 900px
Now issues will display in:
- 3-4 columns on wide screens (>1200px)
- 2-3 columns on medium screens (900-1200px)
- 1 column on mobile (<900px)
Typical 1400px screen will show 3-4 columns of issues!

UX Improvements:
✨ Multi-column grid layout for issues (2-3 columns on wide screens)
- Issues now display in columns using CSS Grid
- Reduces scrolling by 50-70% on large reports
- Automatically responsive (1 column on mobile)
📏 Reduced white space throughout:
- Issue cards: 20px → 10px padding
- Card margins: 30px → 20px
- Section headers: 20px → 10px padding
- Smaller fonts and tighter spacing
- Page overview cards more compact
🔍 Fixed zoom bug:
- Wrapped image + SVG in zoomContainer
- Apply transform to container, not just image
- SVG markers now scale perfectly with zoom
- No redrawing needed - automatic scaling!
Before: ~40px per issue → Now: ~25px per issue
Result: 20 issues fit in ~500px vs ~800px

Issue: Markers still misaligned after DPI scaling
Cause: pdfplumber uses top-left origin, I was flipping Y incorrectly
Fix: Remove Y-flip - both pdfplumber and SVG use top-left (0,0)
Coordinate Systems:
- pdfplumber: (0,0) = top-left, y increases DOWN
- SVG: (0,0) = top-left, y increases DOWN
- Standard PDF: (0,0) = bottom-left, y increases UP
Since pdfplumber already gives us top-left coords, just scale, don't flip!
Now: x_pixel = x_pdf × scale, y_pixel = y_pdf × scale

Issue: Marker boxes were misaligned with actual PDF content
Cause: Coordinate system mismatch between PDF (72 DPI) and rendered images (150 DPI)
Fix: Apply proper DPI scaling factor to coordinates
Changes:
- Calculate scale factor: DPI / 72 (e.g., 150/72 = 2.083)
- Scale all x/y coordinates before drawing
- Store page_image_dpi in JSON for frontend
- Add debug console logs to verify scaling
Formula:
- pixel_coordinate = pdf_coordinate × (image_dpi / 72)
- Example: 100 points @ 150 DPI = 208 pixels
Now markers should align perfectly with PDF content!

Issue: Page images weren't being generated in web interface
Cause: MAMP/PHP doesn't include /opt/homebrew/bin in PATH
Fix: Add poppler paths before executing Python script
Now page images will generate correctly and Visual Page Inspector will appear!
