## Task
Define deterministic output bundle path rules for chunk Markdown files, image assets, anchors, and runtime artifacts.

This is a contract step. It may include lightweight path helpers and tests, but it should not render Markdown or write parsed document content.

## Sprint Contract
- Done means: output directory, chunk file names, image asset names, and runtime log/state locations are modeled and tested.
- Hard thresholds: document output sidecars remain out of scope; runtime logs/state are separated from Markdown bundle output; asset naming is deterministic.
- Files owned: `src/pdftomd/`, `tests/`, `PROGRESS.md`, `phases/1-core-runtime-contracts/index.json`.
- Dependencies: Steps 0 and 1.

## Acceptance Criteria
```powershell
python scripts\validate_workspace.py
.\venv\python.exe -m pytest tests
```

## Verification
1. Run the acceptance commands.
2. Confirm generated path contracts match `docs/ARCHITECTURE.md`.
3. Update `PROGRESS.md` and this phase index.

## Do Not
- Do not implement the renderer.
- Do not write files under `output/` in tests unless using a temp directory.
- Do not create sidecar metadata output.
