v1.2.0: Add Extractous Framework and Improve CI Timeout Handling

🚀 New Features

Extractous Framework Integration

• Added Extractous - Fast Rust-based extraction library with Python bindings
• 18x faster than traditional Python solutions on some workloads
• Native performance without garbage collection overhead
• Built-in OCR support via Tesseract integration
• Minimal memory footprint (11x less than Python alternatives)

Framework Updates

• Removed LlamaParse (cloud-based service, not suitable for local benchmarking)
• Updated framework list to include only locally-running extractors

🔧 CI/CD Improvements

Timeout Handling

• Added 2-hour timeout for slow frameworks (Docling, MarkItDown, Extractous)
• Jobs now fail gracefully instead of being cancelled on timeout
• Create failure markers for timed-out jobs to include in aggregation
• Enhanced aggregation logic to handle both success and failure cases

Pipeline Robustness

• Aggregation now runs even when some frameworks timeout
• Failure reporting includes timeout information
• Graceful handling of partial benchmark results
• Added new Extractous benchmark job with timeout protection

📊 Performance & Quality

Memory Profiling

• Confirmed memory profiling working correctly (251.5MB peak, 43.2% avg CPU)
• Extractous configured with 1MB text extraction limit
• Language detection for OCR configuration

Code Quality

• Applied linting and formatting
• Removed unused LlamaParse dependencies
• Updated framework enums and documentation
• Pre-commit hooks passing

🎯 Framework Comparison

The benchmark suite now includes:

• Kreuzberg (multiple OCR backends)
• Docling (IBM Research ML models)
• MarkItDown (Microsoft lightweight converter)
• Unstructured (enterprise solution)
• Extractous (fast Rust-based NEW!)

🚦 Testing

This release triggers the comprehensive benchmark pipeline with:

• Enhanced timeout handling for slow frameworks
• Improved failure reporting and aggregation
• Testing of the new Extractous framework
• Validation of memory profiling accuracy

The pipeline will now handle timeouts gracefully and produce comprehensive results even when some frameworks fail or timeout.
