Previously, inline objects (arrays/dicts embedded directly in other objects, not registered as indirect objects) would not be tracked for incremental saves. This caused changes to inline arrays like MediaBox to be lost. The fix enhances PDFContext.registerObjectChange() to: 1. First check if the object is directly registered (indirect object) 2. If not, search through all indirect objects to find which one contains the inline object, and mark that parent for save Also fixed lint-staged config that had broken shell commands. Added test: 'tracks inline array modifications for incremental saves' All 673 tests pass.

What?
Remdra changes implements incremental update. Over that I added the automatic change tracking, so you only has to add a parameter on PDF load, for it to be saved with incremental updates. On save, you can force rewrite, if open for incremental update.
Why?
Incremental updates are a requirement for electronic signatures, otherwise, only the last signature remains valid, and all the previous ones are invalidated on PDF rewrite.
How?
Remdra changes implements the concept of 'snapshot' wich tracks new PDF objects and allows you to register objects that has changed, to be included in the incremental update to add at the end of the original PDF file.
Over that I added the preservation of the snapshot at PDF context and the autochangeregistration of PDF Objects, when they change, with context.
Testing?
Added test. Run all tests except ios/android
New Dependencies?
No.
Screenshots
