📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe PDF and WCAG annotation model getters now return alternate text from the annotation itself. They no longer retrieve alternate text through the structure-parent tree. ChangesAnnotation alternate text

- Line 291: Update the PDAnnot.Alt and SAAnnotation.Alt getters to restore the
parent-tree lookup using the annotation’s struct-parent value instead of calling
PDAnnotation.getAlt(). Preserve the existing model contract so
GFSALinkAnnotation.getaltIsLink() continues to receive the parent structure
element’s Alt value.

🌐 Web query:
veraPDF-model PDLayer.mdl PDAnnot Alt PDAnnotation getAlt
💡 Result:
Yes. In `PDLayer.mdl`, `PDAnnot` declares `Alt` as a `String` property—the alternate text comes from the **parent structure element**, not directly from the annotation dictionary. The generated `PDAnnot` interface exposes this as `String getAlt()`. ([github.com](https://github.com/veraPDF/veraPDF-model/blob/integration/src/main/java/PDLayer.mdl?utm_source=openai))
The cited API docs are for veraPDF validation-model **1.28.2**; the model link is the `integration` branch, so these sources don’t establish the API for a different specific release. ([javadoc.io](https://javadoc.io/static/org.verapdf/validation-model-jakarta/1.28.2/org/verapdf/model/pdlayer/PDAnnot.html?utm_source=openai))

🌐 Web query:
site:github.com/veraPDF "class PDAnnotation" "getAlt()" veraPDF
💡 Result:
I couldn’t find a GitHub result matching `class PDAnnotation` and `getAlt()` in the veraPDF repositories. The search doesn’t establish whether the method exists; it may be named differently or appear in a version not indexed by the search.

Restore the parent-tree lookup in both Alt getters.
PDAnnot.Alt and SAAnnotation.Alt are defined as the Alt entry of the parent structure element. The new PDAnnotation.getAlt() calls do not bind against parser versions 1.31.1 and 1.31.64, which are within the project’s [1.31.0,1.32.0-RC) range. PDAnnotation exposes getStructParent() but no getAlt(), so these changes can block compilation.
Restore the deleted parent-tree lookup in both getters. Do not change the model contract. GFSALinkAnnotation.getaltIsLink() consumes this value, so the fallback also preserves altIsLink.
