feat(perf): implement HTTP connection pooling with httpx.AsyncClient singleton and Keep-Alive

- get_http_client: singleton AsyncClient with limits(max_keepalive=10, max_connections=20, keepalive_expiry=60s)
- close_http_client: clean socket pool teardown in FastAPI lifespan shutdown
- refactor dictionary fetchers to reuse pooled client and avoid 5x TLS handshakes per word lookup
- add test_http_connection_pooling (22/22 pytest passed)

-### 8. 🔌 Пул соединений HTTP (`httpx.AsyncClient` с Keep-Alive)
-- [ ] В [`app/dictionary.py`](file:///home/ai-projects/services/study.qpid.pro/app/dictionary.py) создать синглтон-клиент `get_http_client()` с пулом соединений:
+### 7.1. 🖼️ Извлечение и отображение схем, топологий и диаграмм из PDF / EPUB (Planned)
+- [ ] **Извлечение бинарных изображений на диск**:
+  - При парсинге PDF/EPUB извлекать графические объекты (`page.images` / архивы изображений) на файловую систему в изолированную директорию книги: `data/books/{book_id}/images/{img_name}`.
+  - Избегать раздувания базы данных SQLite: база хранит только текст и метаданные, бинарная графика хранится на диске.
+- [ ] **Кэширующий медиа-эндпоинт**:
+  - Создать эндпоинт `GET /api/books/{book_id}/images/{image_name}` с заголовками кэширования (`Cache-Control: public, max-age=31536000, immutable`).
+- [ ] **Встраивание в текст читалки**:
+  - Привязывать иллюстрации к соответствующей странице/главе через Markdown-теги: `![Схема топологии](/api/books/{book_id}/images/{img_name})`.
+  - Интерактивный просмотр и зум схем по клику в читалке.

   ```
-- [ ] Заменить вызовы `async with httpx.AsyncClient()` в парсерах на переиспользуемый клиент.
-- [ ] Устранить 5 повторных TCP/TLS хэндшейков на каждое слово, сократив пинг внешних запросов на 300–600 мс.
+- [x] Заменить вызовы `async with httpx.AsyncClient()` в парсерах на переиспользуемый клиент.
+- [x] Устранить 5 повторных TCP/TLS хэндшейков на каждое слово, сократив задержку внешних запросов на 300–600 мс.
+- [x] Добавить вызов `close_http_client()` в `lifespan` FastAPI при остановке приложения для чистого закрытия открытых сокетов.
+- [x] Добавить юнит-тесты `test_http_connection_pooling` в `tests/test_api.py` (22/22 passed).
