When OCR merges adjacent words from different columns into one word box
(e.g. "sichzie" spanning Col 1+2, "dasZimmer" crossing boundary), the
grid builder assigned the entire merged word to one column.
New _split_cross_column_words() function splits these at column
boundaries using case transitions and spellchecker validation to
avoid false positives on real words like "oder", "Kabel", "Zeitung".
Regression: 12/12 GT sessions pass with diff=+0.

pyphen is a pattern-based hyphenator that accepts nonsense strings
like "Zeplpelin". Switch to spellchecker (frequency-based word list)
which correctly rejects garbled words and can suggest corrections.

- autocorrect_pipe_artifacts(): strips OCR pipe artifacts from printed
syllable dividers, validates with pyphen, tries char-deletion near
pipe positions for garbled words (e.g. "Ze|plpe|lin" → "Zeppelin")
- Rule (a2): filters isolated non-alphanumeric word boxes (≤2 chars,
no letters/digits) — catches small icons OCR'd as ">", "<" etc.
- Both fixes are generic: pyphen-validated, no session-specific logic

When OCR merge expands a prefix word box (e.g. "zer" w=42 → w=104),
it heavily overlaps (>75%) with the next fragment ("brech"). The grid
builder's overlap filter previously removed the prefix as a duplicate.
Fix: when overlap > 75% but both boxes are alphabetic with different
text and one is ≤ 4 chars, merge instead of removing. Also enable
chain merging via merge_parent tracking so "zer" + "brech" + "lich"
→ "zerbrechlich" in a single pass.

- Add du/dich/dir/mich/mir/uns/euch/ihm/ihn to _STOP_WORDS to prevent
false merges like "du" + "zerlegst" → "duzerlegst"
- Reduce max_short threshold from 6 to 5 to prevent merging multi-word
phrases like "ziehen lassen" → "ziehenlassen"

1. Syllable "Original" (auto) mode: only normalize cells that already
have | from OCR — don't add new syllable marks via pyphen to words
without printed dividers on the original scan.
2. Syllable "Aus" (none) mode: strip residual | chars from OCR text
so cells display clean (e.g. "Zel|le" → "Zelle").
3. Heading detection: add text length guard in single-cell heuristic —
words > 4 alpha chars starting lowercase (like "zentral") are regular
vocabulary, not section headings.
4. Word-gap merge: new merge_word_gaps_in_zones() step with relaxed
threshold (6 chars) fixes OCR splits like "zerknit tert" → "zerknittert".

Phase 1 of the clean architecture refactor: Replaces the 751-line ocr-overlay
monolith with a modular pipeline. Each step gets its own component file.
Frontend: /ai/ocr-kombi route with 11 steps (Upload, Orientation, PageSplit,
Deskew, Dewarp, ContentCrop, OCR, Structure, GridBuild, GridReview, GroundTruth).
Session list supports document grouping for multi-page uploads.
Backend: New ocr_kombi/ module with multi-page PDF upload (splits PDF into N
sessions with shared document_group_id). DB migration adds document_group_id
and page_number columns.
Old /ai/ocr-overlay remains fully functional for A/B testing.

_filter_footer_words now returns page number info (text, y_pct, number)
instead of just removing footer words. The page number is included in
the grid result as `page_number` and displayed in the frontend summary
bar as "S. 233".
This preserves page numbers for later page concatenation in the
customer frontend while still removing them from the grid content.

1. Add per-cell artifact filter (4b2): removes single-word cells with
≤2 chars and confidence <65 (e.g. "as" from stray OCR marks)
2. Add narrow connector column normalization (4d2): when ≥60% of cells
in a column share the same short text (e.g. "oder"), normalize
near-match outliers like "oderb" → "oder"
3. Fix footer detection: require short text (≤20 chars) and no commas.
Comma-separated lists like "Uhrzeit, Vergangenheit, Zukunft" are
content continuations, not page numbers.

The _IPA_RE check in _syllabify_text() skipped entire cells containing
any IPA character. After German IPA insertion adds [bɪltʃøn], the check
blocked syllabification entirely. Now strips bracket content before
checking, so programmatically inserted IPA doesn't prevent syllable
divider insertion on the surrounding text.

Hybrid approach mirroring English IPA:
- Primary: wiki-pronunciation-dict (636k entries, CC-BY-SA, Wiktionary)
- Fallback: epitran rule-based G2P (MIT license)
IPA modes now use language-appropriate dictionaries:
- auto/en: English IPA (Britfone + eng_to_ipa)
- de: German IPA (wiki-pronunciation-dict + epitran)
- all: EN column gets English IPA, other columns get German IPA
- none: disabled
Frontend shows CC-BY-SA attribution when German IPA is active.

The zone merging function used PageZone but the import was only
in grid_editor_api.py. Caused NameError on sessions that trigger

Our IPA system only has English dictionaries (Britfone MIT, eng_to_ipa
MIT). The "IPA: nur DE" option was useless at best and misleading.
Removed from dropdown, type definition, and API validation.
Syllable DE mode stays — pyphen has a German hyphenation dictionary.

1. Header detection: Add 25% cap to single-cell heading heuristic.
On German synonym dicts where most rows naturally have only 1
content cell, the old logic marked 60%+ of rows as headers.
2. IPA de/all mode: Use "column_text" (light processing) for non-
English columns instead of "column_en" (full processing). The
full path runs _insert_missing_ipa() which splits on whitespace,
matches English prefixes ("bildschön" → "bild"), and truncates
the rest — destroying German comma-separated synonym lists.

When no IPA signals exist (e.g. German-only dicts), the fallback
that guesses en_col_type was incorrectly triggered for en/de modes,
causing false IPA and syllable insertions. Now only fires for 'all'
mode. Syllable en mode also returns empty set when no EN column found.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Extend ipa_mode and syllable_mode toggles with language options:
- auto: smart detection (default)
- en: only English headword column
- de: only German definition columns
- all: all content columns
- none: skip entirely
Also improve English column auto-detection: use garbled IPA patterns
(apostrophes, colons) in addition to bracket patterns. This correctly
identifies English dictionary pages where OCR produces garbled ASCII
instead of bracket IPA.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Backend: Remove en_col_type fallback heuristic (longest avg text) that
incorrectly identified German columns as English. IPA now only applied
when OCR bracket patterns are actually found. Add ipa_mode (auto/all/none)
and syllable_mode (auto/all/none) query params to build-grid API.
Frontend: Add IPA and Silben dropdown selects to GridToolbar. Modes
are passed as query params on rebuild. Auto = current smart detection,
All = force for all words, Aus = skip entirely.

Step 5i was overwriting IPA-corrected text from Step 5c when
reconstructing cells from word_boxes. Added _ipa_corrected flag
to preserve corrections. Also tightened merged-token prefix matching
(min prefix 4 chars, min suffix 3 chars) to prevent false positives
like "sis" being extracted from "si:said".

- Fix Step 5h: restrict slash-IPA conversion to English headword column
only — prevents converting "der/die/das" to "der [dər]das" in German
columns (confirmed working)
- Fix _text_has_garbled_ipa: detect embedded apostrophes in merged
tokens like "Scotland'skotland" where OCR reads ˈ as '
- Fix _insert_missing_ipa: detect dictionary word prefix in merged
trailing tokens like "fictionsalans'fIkfn" → extract "fiction" with IPA
- Move en_col_type to wider scope for Step 5h access
Note: Fixes 1+2 confirmed working in unit tests but not yet applying
in the full build-grid pipeline — needs further debugging.

Real dictionary pages have only ~3% OCR-detected pipes because the thin
syllable divider lines are hard for OCR to read. The primary false-positive
guard (article_col_index check) already blocks synonym dictionaries.

Rewrite cv_syllable_detect.py with pyphen-first approach:
- Remove unreliable CV gate (morphological pipe detection)
- Strip existing pipes and re-syllabify via pyphen (DE then EN)
- Merge pipe-gap spaces where OCR split words at divider positions
- Guard merges with function word blacklist and punctuation checks
Add false-positive prevention:
- Pre-check: skip if <5% of cells have existing | from OCR
- Call-site check: require article_col_index (der/die/das column)
- Prevents syllabification of synonym dictionaries and word lists

Page-split now creates independent sessions (no parent_session_id),
parent marked as status='split' and hidden from list. Navigation uses
useSearchParams for URL-based step tracking (browser back/forward works).
page.tsx reduced from 684 to 443 lines via usePipelineNavigation hook.
Box sub-sessions (column detection) remain unchanged.

After refactoring grid_editor_api.py into helpers, the function
_text_has_garbled_ipa was used in _detect_heading_rows_by_single_cell
but never imported from cv_ocr_engines. This caused HTTP 500 on
build-grid for sessions that trigger single-cell heading detection.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
1. Extracted 1367 lines of helper functions from grid_editor_api.py
(3051→1620 lines) into grid_editor_helpers.py (filters, detectors,
zone grid building).
2. Created cv_syllable_detect.py with generic CV+pyphen logic:
- Checks EVERY word_box for vertical pipe lines (not just first word)
- No article-column dependency — works with any dictionary layout
- CV morphological detection gates pyphen insertion
3. Grid editor scroll: calc(100vh-200px) for reliable scrolling.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
1. Syllable dividers now require CV validation: morphological vertical
line detection checks if word_box image actually shows thin isolated
pipe lines before applying pyphen. Only first word per cell gets
pipes (matching dictionary print layout).
2. Grid editor scroll: changed maxHeight from 80vh to calc(100vh-200px)
so editor remains scrollable after edits.

OCR engines don't detect | pipe chars used as syllable dividers in
dictionaries. After dictionary detection (is_dict=True), use pyphen
(MIT) to insert syllable breaks into headword cells. Tries DE first,
then EN. Skips IPA content, short words, and cells already containing |.
Also adds pyphen>=0.16.0 to requirements.txt.

Column_1 data showed avg_len=1.0 with 13 single-char cells (alphabet
letters from sidebar). Old fill_ratio check (76% > 35%) missed it.
New criteria: avg_len ≤ 1.5 AND ≥ 70% single chars → removes column.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
1. Pipe divider fix: Changed OCR char-confusion regex so | between
letters (Ka|me|rad) is NOT converted to I. Only standalone/
word-boundary pipes are converted (|ch → Ich, | want → I want).
2. Alphabet sidebar detection improvements:
- _filter_decorative_margin() now considers 2-char words (OCR reads
"Aa", "Bb" from sidebars), lowered min strip from 8→6
- _filter_border_strip_words() lowered decorative threshold from 50%→45%
- New step 4f: grid-level thin-edge-column filter as safety net —
removes edge columns with <35% fill rate and >60% short text

- build-grid now saves the automatic OCR result as ground_truth.auto_grid_snapshot

After orientation detection, the frontend now automatically calls the
page-split endpoint. When a double-page book spread is detected, two
sub-sessions are created and each goes through the full pipeline
(deskew/dewarp/crop) independently — essential because each page of a
spread tilts differently due to the spine.
Frontend changes:
- StepOrientation: calls POST /page-split after orientation, shows
split info ("Doppelseite erkannt"), notifies parent of sub-sessions
- page.tsx: distinguishes page-split sub-sessions (current_step < 5)
from crop-based sub-sessions (current_step >= 5). Page-split subs
only skip orientation, not deskew/dewarp/crop.
- page.tsx: handleOrientationComplete opens first sub-session when
page-split was detected
Backend changes (orientation_crop_api.py):
- page-split endpoint falls back to original image when orientation
rotated a landscape spread to portrait
- start_step parameter: 1 if split from original, 2 if from oriented
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Each page of a double-page scan tilts differently due to the book spine.
The new POST /page-split endpoint detects spreads after orientation and
creates sub-sessions that go through the full pipeline (deskew, dewarp,
crop, etc.) individually, so each page gets its own deskew correction.
Also fixes border-strip filter incorrectly removing German translation
words by adding a decorative-strip validation check.

1. page_crop: Score all dark runs by center-proximity × darkness ×
narrowness instead of picking the widest. Fixes ad810209 where a
wide dark area at 35% was chosen over the actual spine at 50%.
2. cv_words_first: Replace x-center-only word→column assignment with
overlap-based three-pass strategy (overlap → midpoint-range → nearest).
Fixes truncated German translations like "Schal" instead of
"Schal - die Schals" in session 079cd0d9.

Run detect_graphic_elements() in the grid pipeline after image loading
and remove ALL words whose centroids fall inside detected graphic regions,
regardless of confidence. Previously only low-confidence words (conf < 50)
were removed, letting artifacts like "Tr", "Su" survive.
Changes:
- grid_editor_api.py: Import and call detect_graphic_elements() at Step 3a,
passing only significant words (len >= 3) to avoid short artifacts fooling
the text-vs-graphic heuristic. Hard-filter all words in graphic regions.
- cv_graphic_detect.py: Lower density threshold from 20% to 5% for large
regions (>100x80px) — photos/illustrations have low color saturation.
Raise page-spanning limit from 50% to 60% width/height.
Tested: 5 ground-truth sessions pass regression (079cd0d9, d8533a2c,
2838c7a7, 4233d7e3, 5997b635). Session 5997 now detects 2 graphic regions
and removes 29 artifact words including "Tr" and "Su".

OCR splits words at syllable marks into overlapping word_boxes (e.g.
"zu" + "tiefst" with 52% x-overlap). Step 5i previously removed the
lower-confidence box, losing the prefix. Now: when both boxes are
alphabetic text with 20-75% overlap, MERGE them into one word_box
("zutiefst") instead of removing.
Also relaxed artifact cell filter: 2-char alphabetic text like "Zw"
(dictionary guide word) is no longer removed. Only non-alphabetic
short text like "a=" is filtered.
Results for session 5997: "tiefst"→"zutiefst", "zu"→"zuständig",
"Zu die Zuschüsse"→"Zuschuss, die Zuschüsse", "Zw" restored.

Three fixes for dictionary page session 5997:
1. Heading detection: column_1 cells with article words (die/der/das)
now count as content cells, preventing "die Zuschrift, die Zuschriften"
from being falsely merged into a spanning heading cell.
2. Step 5j-pre: new artifact cell filter removes short garbled text from
OCR on image areas (e.g. "7 EN", "Tr", "\\", "PEE", "a="). Cells
survive earlier filters because their rows have real content in other
columns. Also cleans up empty rows after removal.
3. Footer "PEE" auto-fixed: artifact filter removes the noise cell,
empty row gets cleaned up, footer detection no longer sees it.

Dictionary pages have 2 dictionary columns, each with article + headword
sub-columns. The right article column (die/der at x≈626) had only 14.3%
row coverage — below the 20% secondary threshold. Lowered to 12% so
dictionary article columns qualify. Also strip pipe characters from
individual word_box text (not just cell text) to remove OCR syllable
separation marks (e.g. "zu|trau|en" → "zutrauen").

The border strip filter (Step 4e) used the LARGEST x-gap which incorrectly
removed base words along with edge artifacts. Now uses a two-stage approach:
1. _filter_border_strip_words() pre-filters raw words BEFORE column detection,
scanning from the page edge inward to find the FIRST significant gap (>30px)
2. Step 4e runs as fallback only when pre-filter didn't apply
Session 4233 now correctly detects 3 columns (base word | oder | synonyms)
instead of 2. Threshold raised from 15% to 20% to handle pages with many
edge artifacts. All 4 ground-truth sessions pass regression.

Step 5i rule (a) only caught blue tiny symbols. Graphic fragments from
page illustrations (e.g. orange quote mark from man illustration) were

Content word_boxes in test used x-spacing (i%3)*100 which created
internal gaps larger than the border-to-content gap. Changed to
(i%2)*51 so content words overlap and the border gap remains dominant.

Textbooks with decorative alphabet strips along page edges produce
OCR artifacts (scattered colored letters at x<150 while real content
starts at x>=179). Step 4e detects a significant x-gap (>30px) between
a small cluster (<15% of total word_boxes) near the page edge and the
main content, then removes the border-strip word_boxes.

The frontend renders colored cells from the word_boxes array order,
not from cell.text. After post-processing steps (5i bullet removal etc),
word_boxes could remain in their original insertion order instead of
left-to-right reading order. Step 5j now explicitly sorts word_boxes
using _group_words_into_lines before the result is built.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Cell text was rebuilt using naive (top, left) sorting after removing
word_boxes in Steps 4c/4d/5i. This produced wrong word order when
words on the same visual line had slightly different top values (1-6px).
Now uses _words_to_reading_order_text() which groups words into visual
lines by y-tolerance before sorting by x within each line, matching
the initial cell text construction in _build_cells.

Step 5i: For word_boxes with >90% x-overlap and different text, use IPA
dictionary to decide which to keep (e.g. "tightly" in dict, "fighily" not).
Red threshold raised from 80 to 90 to catch remaining scanner artifacts
like "tight" and "5" that were still misclassified as red.

Scanner artifacts on black text produce slight warm tint (hue ~0, sat ~60)
that was misclassified as red. Now requires median_sat >= 80 specifically
