mode: "digital"(default) — single-stream PDF for the research collection: symmetric margins, no blank filler pages, clickable blue links, and a fixed running header.mode: "booklet"— print-ready copy: mirrored binding margins, chapters and front-matter sections opening on recto (odd) pages with blank versos where needed, black links, and an alternating recto/verso header.
Both modes keep the same 108 mm content width, so line breaking is identical.
