feat(transforms): tabular + spreadsheet (.xlsx/.xls) compression (#1128)
## Description

Adds a content-type-aware path for **tabular data** — CSV/TSV, markdown
tables, fixed-width text, and binary `.xlsx`/`.xls` spreadsheets — by
routing them through the existing, battle-tested `SmartCrusher` instead
of letting them fall through to `PLAIN_TEXT → Kompress`.

The pipeline already compressed tables losslessly when handed a JSON
array of records. This wires up the missing front door: detect tabular
text (and ingest binary spreadsheets), convert to JSON records, and
reuse `SmartCrusher.crush()`. No new compression algorithm.

Closes #

## Type of Change

- [ ] Bug fix (non-breaking change that fixes an issue)
- [x] New feature (non-breaking change that adds functionality)
- [ ] Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing
functionality to change)
- [ ] Documentation update
- [ ] Performance improvement
- [ ] Code refactoring (no functional changes)

## Changes Made

- **Detection** (`content_detector.py`): new `ContentType.TABULAR` +
`_try_detect_tabular()` for CSV/TSV, markdown tables, and fixed-width
columns. Ordered after search/log (which also look "delimited") and
before code, with a prose-rejection guard so it never steals
`file:line:content` search output, `key: value` logs, or sentences with
incidental commas. Rust backend returns `plain_text` for unknown types
and the router already falls back to the Python detector, so **no Rust
change**.
- **Bridge** (`tabular_ingest.py`): stdlib parsers + `to_records()` + a
`TabularCompressor` that parses → JSON records → `SmartCrusher`
(lossless `csv-schema` first; lossy row-drop with reversible
`<<ccr:HASH>>` markers stays SmartCrusher's built-in fallback). Only
adopts a result when it actually saves bytes.
- **Spreadsheets** (`spreadsheet_ingest.py`): `.xlsx`/`.xls` → per-sheet
CSV text at the SDK boundary. Optional deps (`pip install
headroom-ai[spreadsheet]`) fail loudly with an install hint, never
silently degrade.
- **Routing** (`content_router.py`): `CompressionStrategy.TABULAR`,
`enable_tabular_compressor` flag, lazy getter, apply branch, strategy
maps, Kompress fallback eligibility.
- **SDK** (`compress.py`): `compress_spreadsheet(path, ...)` helper (one
message per sheet).
- **Packaging** (`pyproject.toml`): new `[spreadsheet]` extra;
`openpyxl` added to `[dev]` so the xlsx path is exercised in CI.
- **Docs/demo**: `examples/tabular_compression_demo.py` + README entry.

### Design note: lossless-only

Compact, all-unique tables with no query yield ~0 savings — this is
correct, not a bug. SmartCrusher returns
`skip:unique_entities_no_signal` and won't drop unique rows without a
duplicate/relevance signal. Real wins come from verbose/redundant tables
and query-driven selection. A pressure-driven lossy row sampler was
considered and intentionally not added.

## Testing

- [x] Unit tests pass (`pytest`)
- [x] Linting passes (`ruff check .`)
- [x] Type checking passes (`mypy headroom`)
- [x] New tests added for new functionality
- [x] Manual testing performed

### Test Output

```text
$ python -m pytest tests/test_transforms_tabular.py -q
collected 20 items
tests/test_transforms_tabular.py ....................                    [100%]
============================== 20 passed in 7.15s ==============================

$ ruff check headroom/transforms/tabular_ingest.py headroom/transforms/spreadsheet_ingest.py
All checks passed!

$ mypy headroom/transforms/tabular_ingest.py headroom/transforms/spreadsheet_ingest.py
Success: no issues found in 2 source files
```

`tests/test_transforms_tabular.py` (20 tests): detection true positives
+ no-misroute negatives (search/log/JSON/prose), parser units (incl.
fixed-width), the CSV→SmartCrusher bridge, router routing + disable
flag, and `.xlsx` ingestion (skipif openpyxl missing) + error paths.
`spreadsheet_ingest` 100% / `tabular_ingest` 90% line coverage.

## Real Behavior Proof

- **Environment:** local checkout of `feat/tabular-compression`, Python
3.x, `pip install -e ".[dev]"`.
- **Exact command / steps:** `python
examples/tabular_compression_demo.py` (no API key required).
- **Observed result:**
  ```text
  === Raw tabular text (ContentRouter, char-level) ===
compact unique CSV strat=tabular chars 1306 -> 1072 ( 17.9% saved)
redundant CSV strat=tabular chars 2661 -> 1350 ( 49.3% saved)
verbose markdown strat=tabular chars 2019 -> 1580 ( 21.7% saved)

  === Full pipeline (real tokenizer) ===
  redundant CSV            tokens       768 ->    394  ( 48.7% saved)

  === Binary spreadsheet (.xlsx) ===
  2-sheet workbook         tokens      1092 ->    683  ( 37.5% saved)
  ```
- **Not tested:** legacy `.xls` binary path (needs optional `xlrd` +
binary fixture; `# pragma: no cover`); base64-embedded `.xlsx` inside
multimodal blocks (out of scope, noted as a follow-up).

## Review Readiness

- [x] I have performed a self-review
- [x] This PR is ready for human review

## Checklist

- [x] My code follows the project's style guidelines
- [x] I have performed a self-review of my code
- [x] I have commented my code, particularly in hard-to-understand areas
- [x] I have made corresponding changes to the documentation
- [x] My changes generate no new warnings
- [x] I have added tests that prove my fix is effective or that my
feature works
- [x] New and existing unit tests pass locally with my changes
- [ ] I have updated the CHANGELOG.md if applicable

## Additional Notes

- CHANGELOG/version are intentionally untouched: this repo uses
**release-please**, which bumps the version and CHANGELOG via automated
`chore: release main` PRs, not per-feature PRs.
- The `.xls` path is `# pragma: no cover` (legacy, needs optional `xlrd`
+ a binary fixture).
- Follow-up (out of scope): base64-embedded `.xlsx` inside
tool-result/multimodal blocks; porting tabular parsers into the Rust
core for parity.
