Subject: [PATCH] fix(epub-parser): Resolve spine file paths relative to OPF
 location
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Problem:
- Spine items stored raw href from manifest (e.g., 'cover.xhtml')
- Resources stored with full paths (e.g., 'OEBPS/cover.xhtml')
- Content lookup failed: resourceMap.get('cover.xhtml') returned undefined
- Result: Pagination failed with 0 pages, content not found

Root Cause:
- parseSpine() didn't resolve paths relative to OPF file location
- Spine hrefs are relative to OPF directory, not ZIP root
- Manifest items use relative paths like 'cover.xhtml'
- Actual files are at 'OEBPS/cover.xhtml' (relative to OEBPS/content.opf)

Solution:
- Use resolvePath() helper to resolve href relative to opfPath
- Store resolved full path in spine items: 'OEBPS/cover.xhtml'
- Match resource Map storage pattern (full paths)
- Extract cover image and add to EbookCIF.metadata

Changes:
- parseSpine(): Add opfPath parameter, resolve each spine href
- parseEPUB(): Pass opfPath to parseSpine()
- extractCover(): Load cover image from EPUB manifest
- Return EbookCIF.metadata.coverImage with Blob data

Impact:
- ✅ Spine content files now found correctly
- ✅ Pagination calculates actual pages (119 pages vs 0)
- ✅ Ebook content loads and displays
- ✅ Cover image extracted and available

Testing:
- EPUB with spine items in subdirectory (OEBPS/)
- Content lookup now succeeds
- Pagination generates correct page count
