PDF reading keeps using the open file while rendering and counting pages

When reading a PDF, Claude Code now passes the already open file, its size and a cancel signal into page rendering and page counting

What

When Claude Code reads pages from a PDF, or a whole PDF, it now hands the file it already has open, along with the file's size and a cancel signal, to the steps that render pages and count them. Those steps used to work from the file path and look up the size afterwards.

Why

In practice the whole read works from one open file, and page counting can stop when the read is cancelled.
