release: v2.0.0 — native renderer, no Chrome dependency

[mrslbt]

pdf-it 2.0.0

Production-grade rewrite. Same design language, entirely new render stack.

Breaking changes

• Chrome is no longer required. Removed puppeteer-core, pdf-lib, markdown-it, and the CHROME_PATH env var.
• Node ≥ 20 required (was ≥ 18). React 19 + TypeScript 6 baseline.

Renderer

Markdown → remark/mdast AST → typed React components → PDF via @react-pdf/renderer, in a single deterministic pass. No external runtime, no font CDN at render time, no post-render PDF mutation.

Typography

Ships 5 baked Newsreader instances (Display 60 Light, Display 32 Regular, Text Regular/Medium/Italic) + JetBrains Mono + DM Sans inside the package. Variable-font opsz axis baked into static instances because Font.register can't express font-variation-settings. Every PDF renders identically on every machine.

Design system

• src/templates/design-tokens.ts — single source of truth for colors, type sizes, leadings, cover positioning.
• Components: Cover, TOC, Footer, body primitives (H1/H2/H3, P, Strong/Em, A, InlineCode, CodeBlock, Blockquote, lists, HR, Table), and the first chart primitive HorizontalBarChart.

MCP polish

• Tool annotations on the wire (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint, title) for both tools.
• MCP resources (style-guide, markdown-cheatsheet) refreshed to describe v2 reality.
• server.json + smithery.yaml + glama.json version-bumped and registry-ready.

Project identity

• assets/icon.png — a Newsreader Display 60 Light capital P. The icon and the cover title share an alphabet.
• AGENTS.md — agent-readable project contract.

Verification

• tsc clean (strict), boots as pdf-it v2.0.0, tools/list carries annotations.
• End-to-end generate_pdf writes valid PDFs with embedded fonts, TOC anchors, and Title/Author metadata.
• Edge cases pass: tilde-path expansion, no-title cover, plain template, empty/bogus input error gracefully.
• npm pack: 64 files, ~750 KB, no dev preview scripts shipped.
• CI: clean-build + MCP smoke test (boot → tools/list → generate_pdf → size assertion).
