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.

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.

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

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.

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
- mark-ground-truth includes a correction_diff comparing auto vs corrected

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.

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
missed. Now filters any non-black colored word_box with area < 200 and
confidence < 85.

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.

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.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
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.

Pages with two side-by-side vocabulary columns separated by a vertical
black line are now split into independent sub-zones before row/column
detection. Each sub-zone gets its own rows, preventing misalignment from
different heading rhythms.
- _detect_vertical_dividers(): finds pipe word_boxes at consistent x
positions spanning >50% of zone height
- _split_zone_at_vertical_dividers(): creates left/right PageZone objects
with layout_hint and vsplit_group metadata
- Column union skips vsplit zones (independent column sets)
- Frontend renders vsplit zones side by side via flex layout
- PageZone gets layout_hint + vsplit_group fields

Dictionary-style pages print IPA between slashes (e.g. tiger /'taiga/).
Step 5h detects these patterns, looks up the headword in the IPA dictionary

Three fixes:
1. fix_ipa_continuation_cell: when headword has inline IPA like
"beat [bˈiːt] , beat, beaten", only generate IPA for uncovered
words (beaten), not words already shown (beat). When bracket is
at end like "the Highlands [ˈhaɪləndz]", return inline IPA directly.
2. Step 5d: recover garbled IPA from word_boxes when Step 5c emptied
the cell text (e.g. "[n, nn]" → "").
3. Added 2 tests for inline IPA behavior (35 total).

Step 5g now extracts column_1 cells individually as page_refs (instead of
requiring the whole row to be column_1-only), and footer detection skips

- Step 5f: Remove dictionary IPA from headings detected after IPA
correction (e.g. "Theme [θˈiːm]" → "Theme")
- Step 5g: Extract page_ref rows (column_1 only, e.g. "p.70") and
footer rows (last single-cell row, e.g. page number "212") from
the vocabulary table into zone-level metadata (page_refs, footer)
so the frontend can render them separately

Step 5d now also processes IPA continuations without brackets (e.g.
"ska:f – ska:vz", "'sekandarr sku:l") when the row has only 1 content
cell and the text is pure-ASCII garbled IPA (no real IPA Unicode symbols).

The previous heuristic picked the column with the longest average text as
the English headword column. In layouts with long example sentences, this
picked the wrong column (examples instead of headwords). Now counts cells
with bracket patterns per column — the column with the most brackets is
the headword column where IPA needs fixing.
Fixes garbled OCR-IPA like "change [tfeind3]" → "change [tʃˈeɪndʒ]".

Two fixes:
1. Step 5d now only treats cells as continuation when text is entirely
inside brackets (e.g. "[n, nn]"). Cells with headwords outside brackets
(e.g. "employee [im'ploi:]") are no longer overwritten.
2. fix_ipa_continuation_cell no longer skips grammar words like "down" —
they are part of the headword in phrasal verbs like "close sth. down".
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The en_col_type heuristic (longest avg text) picks the example column,

1. Skip ghost filtering for boxes with border_thickness=0 (images/graphics
