Grzegorz MartensandClaude Opus 5.5 907a9fa917 M11: monochrome downsampling: black-and-white images above 450 ppi are averaged down to 300
The PDF Optimizer and Reduce File Size downsampled colour and grey images
but not black-and-white ones. Settings::mono is now MonoSettings {
downsample, target_ppi, above_ppi, compression }, 300 ppi above 450 ppi
and CCITT Group 4 by default (Monochrome Images ▸ Downsample to;
doc_optimize mono: { downsample, ppi, above_ppi, compression }).

A 1-bit image or image mask (no filter, general-purpose filters, or CCITT
fax after any of them) and eight-bit grey of only black and white are averaged by
area: each new pixel takes the sample covering more of it, a tie 0, so a
dark line half a new pixel wide stays. They are stored as Group 4, or as
1-bit Flate when that is smaller; with Retain a resampled image keeps its
kind of compression. Images with a soft mask keep their size.

CCITT decoding moves from Export ▸ Images into pdfcraft-filters
(decode_ccitt, CcittParams, through hayro-ccitt), and
pdfcraft_cos::Document::decoded_image reads a fax image's /DecodeParms
for it (undoing filters before CCITT, such as ASCII85Decode, with any
/DecodeParms given by reference made direct first), so export
and the optimizer share one reader, and Group 4 scans can be
downsampled. A 600 ppi text page went from 79 KB to 40 KB.
