Step 5i: Remove blue bullet/artifact and overlapping duplicate word_boxes

Dictionary pages have small blue square bullets before entries that OCR
reads as text artifacts. Three detection rules:
a) Tiny blue symbols (area < 150, conf < 85): catches ©, e, * etc.
b) X-overlapping word_boxes (>40%): remove lower confidence one
c) Duplicate blue text with gap < 6px: remove one copy
