"""
Base interfaces for Document Processor sub-components.
This module defines the abstract base classes that all Document Processor
sub-components must implement, following the modular architecture specification.
These interfaces ensure consistent behavior across different implementations
while enabling pluggable, testable components.
Architecture Reference:
- COMPONENT-2-DOCUMENT-PROCESSOR.md section 3.2 (Sub-Components)
- rag-interface-reference.md section 3.1 (Document Processing Sub-Components)

Abstract base class for document parsers.
Document parsers are responsible for extracting text and structure from
various document formats. They use the adapter pattern for external
libraries (PyMuPDF, python-docx, etc.) to provide a consistent interface.
Implementation Guidelines:
- Use adapters for external parsing libraries
- Preserve document structure and metadata
- Handle format-specific extraction requirements
- Provide graceful error handling for corrupted documents

Parse document and extract content and structure.
Args:
file_path: Path to the document file
