MEGA INFRA 6b0c4273e3 Handle a structurally different consultant template
Second real pair (Central Towers: 20pp Candy PDF into a 53-sheet SANS 1200
workbook) exposed four failures. All fixed and verified against both pairs.

- item numbering: accept 1.1.1, 110...., .01 and rebuild the running counter
  Candy restarts under each repeated heading. 0% -> 86% of lines numbered.
- wrapped headers: join 'QUAN-' + 'TITY'. qty was missing on 49 of 51 sheets.
- description is a RUN between ITEM and UNIT, not one column: the header
  claims E, the data sits in D, and it moves within a single sheet.
- carry item numbers down blank cells, and score a missing number as neutral
  rather than as disagreement.

Mapping: 1/108 unmatched (Blueberry), 33/226 (Central Towers).

Safety: the consultant's workbook is never damaged. Per-write guard plus a
final pass that restores any formula disturbed - 0 of 3633 formulas clobbered.
Writing a literal over a derived quantity would have destroyed their model
while looking like it worked.

"""
Populate a CONSULTANT's BOQ workbook from our own Candy PDF export.
The direction matters and is easy to get backwards: Candy is *our* system, so
the PDF is the source of truth and is always the same shape. The consultant's
Excel is *theirs*, and changes from consultant to consultant. So the hard part
is not reading the document - it is writing into a workbook we did not design
without destroying what is already in it.
Three jobs:
1. LAYOUT DETECTION
Find the header row and work out which column is ITEM / DESCRIPTION /
UNIT / QTY / RATE / AMOUNT. A consultant's PAYMENT column (SABS / PSA
clause references) is detected too and then never touched.
2. MAPPING
Line the PDF's lines up with the workbook's rows. The two documents are
near 1:1 but not identical: the workbook truncates descriptions, inserts
spacer rows and adds "TOTAL CARRIED FORWARD" blocks, while the PDF wraps
descriptions across several lines. A sequence alignment over
(item number, description similarity) survives all of that.
3. PROOF
A population pass that cannot be checked is a guess. Every source line is
accounted for - written, already-matching, or reported as an exception -
and section totals are written as live formulas that must reproduce the
PDF's own printed subtotal.
