+`handlePersist` — the `onPersist` callback passed to PdfViewerWrapper (per D-01). Before saving, merge `textFillData` values into `field.hint` for text fields (per Research Pitfall 6). IMPORTANT: The schema type value is `'text'` (from `SignatureFieldType`), NOT `'client-text'`. Use `f.type === 'text'` exactly:
 ```typescript
 const handlePersist = useCallback(async (rawFields: SignatureFieldData[]) => {
   const fieldsWithHints = rawFields.map(f =>
-    f.type === 'client-text' && textFillData[f.id]

-Note: the `type` check uses `'client-text'` — however the actual schema type value for text fields is just `'text'`. Read the FieldPlacer palette token IDs to confirm the exact string. The existing codebase uses `type: 'text'` in SignatureFieldType. So the check should be:

-f.type === 'text' && textFillData[f.id]
