-# Invoice Parser (desktop)
-
-Windows desktop replacement for the `invoiceProject` Classic ASP web app.
-One exe: WPF window hosting WebView2, an embedded local web server (loopback
-only), and a single background worker that parses queued invoices with the
-configured LLM. No IIS, no browser needed for parsing.
-
-## What changed vs the web app
-
-- Upload -> prep -> parse is fully automatic. Drop files on the dashboard;
-  the server extracts the PDF text layer (PdfPig) or renders pages (PDFium),
-  queues the invoice, and the in-process worker calls the LLM. The UI gets
-  live updates over SSE - no polling, no "open it and press Scan Invoice".
-- Scanned PDFs no longer dead-end: pages are rendered server-side on demand.
-- One worker owns the queue (replaces pending_process.asp, parse_queue.ps1
-  and the browser-side parser), so the claim/steal/stale logic is gone.
-- All SQL is parameterized.
-- `pending/{id}/state.json` keeps the same format - existing drafts can be
-  migrated by copying `invoiceProject\pending\*` into this app's `pending\`.
