Upload a plain-text survey report

Reads `.rpt` and `.txt` files, detects UTF-8, UTF-16, or Windows-1252 text, and extracts clearly labelled warning, error, misclosure, residual, and sigma summary lines. It does not parse raw `.fld` files or certify the report.

Original uploaded files stay unchanged. This summary is indicative only and requires surveyor review.

Safety & scope

SurveyMarkup does not certify survey accuracy, cadastral compliance, legal boundaries, or coordinate correctness. It helps prepare and review working information, but original data and final outputs must be checked by a qualified user before use.

Assistance only - professional review remains required.
