aaron 93c0d89308 encoding.py: extend docx and pptx extractors to walk tables, headers/footers, text-boxes, group shapes, and notes
The previous extractors walked only top-level body paragraphs (docx) and
top-level shape.text (pptx). Diagnostic on the 17 non-PDF "no_text"
ingest failures revealed that 13 docx files in the failure cohort have
100% of their content in tables (paras_with_text=0, table_cells=6-108).
These are syllabi, rosters, rubrics, and homework worksheets structured
as a single document-wide table — high-value academic content the corpus
was silently missing.

docx walker now covers:
- body paragraphs (existing)
- tables, including nested tables in cells (recursive helper)
- header and footer paragraphs per section
- text-box content via XPath against w:txbxContent (no first-class API
  in python-docx; future-proofing — none of the current failure cohort
  has text-boxes)

pptx walker now covers:
- top-level shape text (existing)
- recursive descent into group shapes
- table cell text via shape.has_table / shape.table.iter_cells()
- speaker notes via slide.notes_slide.notes_text_frame.text

Out of scope: SmartArt diagrams, chart titles/labels, OLE objects,
content controls. None of the current failure cohort has these.

Recovery: 13 of 17 failures now ingest successfully. The 4 remaining are
image-only pptx files (Renders.pptx, Ribbon Cutting Slideshow.pptx, two
GH Slicer Notes variants — all PICTURE-shape decks with no text in any
walkable structure). They stay in ingest_failures unresolved, awaiting
OCR or path exclusion.

Side effect worth noting: the regression check on 4 known-good files
that were already producing embeddings showed all four gained content
under the new walker — a Mod03 pptx grew from 23,993 to 57,462 chars
(+33,469), Braskem Report docx grew 33,050 to 38,977 (+5,927), DDF MA
program docx grew 37,210 to 47,603 (+10,393), SUNY PIF GRANT pptx grew
22,259 to 23,546 (+1,287). These files have been in the corpus all
along with table or notes content silently dropped. They will surface
the additional content on next re-ingest, improving retrieval quality
for any future query that touches them.

Cleanup: ingest_file already calls resolve_ingest_failure on successful
ingest, so the 13 recovered files were marked resolved=TRUE during the
retry pass. No separate cleanup SQL was needed.

"""
Aaron AI Stage 1 encoding helpers — single canonical implementation of:
- extract_text(filepath) — four-extension text extraction
- chunk_text(text, chunk_size, overlap) — word-based chunking
- chunk_and_embed(text, source, embedder, filepath, folder) — produce ready-to-write rows
- write_embeddings_batch(conn, batch) — server-side NOW() canonical INSERT
Used by watcher.py, ingest.py, corpus_integrity.py, and api.py /api/corpus/retry.
Replaces four separate extract reimplementations and two extract-chunk-embed paths.
