* feat(ats): extract PDF text with pypdf before Poppler

Lead the ATS text-layer check with pypdf (BSD, optional pip install). Fall back to pdftotext -layout -enc UTF-8. No cache directory, no installer, no AGPL pymupdf. Windows users without Poppler still get a mechanical parseability check; visual review remains the last resort.

* Update verify_pdf.py

* Update apply.md

- LaTeX distribution with `lualatex` and `xelatex`: [TeX Live](https://tug.org/texlive/), [MacTeX](https://tug.org/mactex/), [TinyTeX](https://yihui.org/tinytex/), or [MiKTeX](https://miktex.org/). The CV compiles with `lualatex` (pdflatex often fails on modern MiKTeX installs with `fontawesome5` font-expansion errors); the cover letter compiles with `xelatex` because `cover.cls` requires `fontspec`. If using a minimal TeX install such as TinyTeX or BasicTeX, install the extra packages listed in [SETUP.md](SETUP.md#minimal-tex-install-tinytexbasictex).
- Optional: `pdftotext` from [poppler](https://poppler.freedesktop.org/) (macOS: `brew install poppler`, Debian/Ubuntu: `apt install poppler-utils`, Windows: `choco install poppler`) — used by `/apply`'s ATS parseability check on the compiled CV. If missing, the check degrades gracefully to a visual keyword review.
- Optional: `pip install pypdf` for `/apply`'s ATS parseability check (BSD; no Poppler required). Poppler `pdftotext` remains a fallback (macOS: `brew install poppler`, Debian/Ubuntu: `apt install poppler-utils`, Windows: `choco install poppler`). If both are missing, the check degrades to a visual keyword review.
