cleanup: remove sheet-specific code, reduce logging, document constants

Genericity audit findings:
- Remove German prefixes from _GRAMMAR_BRACKET_WORDS (only English field
  is processed, German prefixes were unreachable dead code)
- Move _IPA_CHARS and _MIN_WORD_CONF to module-level constants
- Document _NARROW_COL_THRESHOLD_PCT with empirical rationale
- Document _PAD=3 with DPI context
- Document _PHONETIC_BRACKET_RE intentional mixed-bracket matching
- Reduce all diagnostic logger.info() to logger.debug() in:
  _ocr_cell_crop, _replace_phonetics_in_text, _fix_phonetic_brackets
- Keep only summary-level info logging
