fix(libreoffice): fix CSV export crash and add LibreOffice Calc category

[gingeekrishna]

Problem

Closes #561.

Converting any document to CSV via LibreOffice fails with:

no export filter for <output>.csv found, aborting.

followed by an ENOENT because the output file was never written.

Root cause

getFilters() used a single shared filter map for both the --infilter (input) and --convert-to <format>:<filter> (output) arguments. The map contained:

csv: "Text",  // LibreOffice Writer filter

"Text" is a valid input filter for reading delimiter-separated files inside LibreOffice Writer, but it is not accepted as an output filter for the .csv extension — Writer simply has no CSV export filter. LibreOffice therefore aborts with the "no export filter found" error every time a Writer-category document (pdf, docx, odt, etc.) is converted to CSV.

Fix

1. Separate input and output filter maps

Replaced the single filters object with inputFilters and outputFilters. csv appears in inputFilters.text (Writer can open CSVs as plain text) but is absent from outputFilters.text (Writer cannot export CSV). getFilters() now looks up the right map for each side.

2. Remove csv from properties.to.text

The UI/router no longer offers any Writer-category to CSV path, since it is unsupported.

3. Add LibreOffice Calc category

filters.calc was present in the code but completely empty. This PR fills it with correct LibreOffice Calc filter names and adds from.calc / to.calc format lists, enabling spreadsheet conversions that were previously impossible:

From	To	Filter used
xlsx	csv	Calc MS Excel 2007 XML → Text - txt - csv (StarCalc)
csv	xlsx	Text - txt - csv (StarCalc) → Calc MS Excel 2007 XML
ods	xlsx	calc8 → Calc MS Excel 2007 XML
xls	ods	MS Excel 97 → calc8

All existing tests continue to pass. Four new tests cover the Calc path and the regression.

Summary by cubic

Fixes CSV export crashes by separating input/output filters and removing the unsupported Writer→CSV path. Adds a Calc category with correct filters for spreadsheet conversions (xlsx↔csv, ods↔xlsx, xls↔ods) and corrects the SYLK (.slk) extension mapping.

• Bug Fixes

  • Split filter map into inputFilters and outputFilters; getFilters() picks the right one.
  • Removed csv from properties.to.text to stop offering Writer→CSV.
  • Corrected SYLK extension to .slk so SLK files match and use the SYLK infilter.
  • Added tests for Calc paths and blocking Writer→CSV (e.g., pdf→csv).

• Refactors

  • Applied Prettier formatting.

Pull request overview

This PR fixes LibreOffice CSV conversion failures by separating input vs output filter selection (preventing Writer→CSV export attempts) and adds a new LibreOffice Calc category to enable spreadsheet conversions with correct filters.

Changes:

• Split the LibreOffice filter map into inputFilters and outputFilters, and updated getFilters() to select appropriately.
• Removed unsupported Writer-category CSV output (csv) from properties.to.text so the UI/router no longer advertises invalid conversions.
• Added Calc format lists + filter mappings and introduced new tests covering spreadsheet paths and the CSV regression.

• getFilters() uses the in operator to test membership in plain objects. Since fileType/convertTo ultimately come from user-controlled file extensions and request params, values like __proto__ will match via the prototype chain and can produce incorrect filter lookups (or [object Object] in CLI args). Use an own-property check instead of in.
