Sean WhalenandClaude Fable 5.1 316910e1ea fix: never close a caller-supplied file object in parse_report_file/extract_report (#909)
parse_report_file() and extract_report() both closed a file-like object
the caller passed in once they finished reading it (on the success path
only). A function must not close a handle it did not open: the caller
may still want to seek(0) and retry, log tell(), or reuse the handle.

- parse_report_file(): the caller-supplied-object branch no longer calls
  .close(). A path is still opened and closed via `with`; bytes are still
  wrapped in a function-owned BytesIO that the function closes.
- extract_report(): the seekable-stream branch previously aliased the
  caller's stream into `file_object` and then unconditionally closed it
  in `finally`, on the success path and on the exception path alike. An
  `owns_file_object` flag now tracks whether `file_object` is a buffer
  this function created (str/bytes input, or a copy made from a
  non-seekable caller stream) versus an alias of the caller's own
  seekable stream; only the former is closed.
- parse_aggregate_report_file() forwards its input straight to
  extract_report() and does no closing of its own, so it inherits the
  fix; its docstring now says so and points to extract_report()'s for the
  exact post-call position.

Both extract_report()'s and parse_report_file()'s docstrings now state
the contract explicitly. extract_report()'s docstring initially claimed
a successful call leaves a seekable caller stream "positioned at 0" and
described the seek(0) as seeking "back" to the caller's prior position;
neither is true. The unconditional stream.seek(0) after reading the
6-byte header runs regardless of where the caller's stream was
positioned, and the subsequent content read (member/gzip/text) advances
the stream again, so a successful call typically leaves it at EOF, not
0 (measured: XML 866, gzip 428, zip 901/974). The docstring now matches
parse_report_file()'s wording: left open, positioned wherever the
function's own reads left it.

Added testParseReportFileLeavesCallerHandleOpenOnSuccess,
testExtractReportLeavesSeekableCallerStreamOpen (success path), and
testExtractReportLeavesSeekableCallerStreamOpenOnError (exception path,
completing the "never closed on success or failure" claim, which had
gone untested on its exception half) -- asserting real BytesIO `.closed`
state and, for the success cases, that the handle is still readable
after seek(0). All three fail against the pre-fix code; verified with
`parsedmarc.__file__` that the import resolved to this worktree's
package, not a stale venv install, before trusting the failure/pass
results. Updated testParseReportFileLeavesCallerHandleOpenOnReadError's
docstring, which described the old "closed on success" behavior as
intentional.

Also added testParseAggregateReportFileLeavesCallerStreamOpen: the
contract paragraph added to parse_aggregate_report_file()'s docstring
was previously untested through that entry point -- its existing
stream-based tests only exercise extract_report() and parse_report_file()
directly, while parse_aggregate_report_file() itself was only ever
called with bytes. The new test passes a caller-owned BytesIO through
parse_aggregate_report_file() and asserts it is still open after both a
successful parse and an InvalidAggregateReport raised on garbage
content. It fails against the pre-fix code (AssertionError: True is not
false on the success-path assertion); verified via `parsedmarc.__file__`
that the import resolved to this worktree's package before trusting the
result.

CHANGELOG: added an Unreleased/Changes entry (behavior change for
library callers, naming all three affected functions) and corrected the
existing Unreleased/Bug fixes entry for parse_report_file's path-close
fix, whose closing sentence about caller-supplied objects this PR makes
false and whose cross-reference to "the Changes section below" pointed
the wrong direction (Changes is above Bug fixes).
