# Change: Dual-track Document Processing with Structure-Preserving Translation

## Why

The current system processes all documents through PaddleOCR, causing unnecessary overhead for editable PDFs that already contain extractable text. Additionally, we're only using ~20% of PP-StructureV3's capabilities, missing out on comprehensive document structure extraction. The system needs to support structure-preserving document translation as a future goal.

## What Changes

- **ADDED** Dual-track processing architecture with intelligent routing
  - OCR track for scanned documents, images, and Office files using PaddleOCR
  - Direct extraction track for editable PDFs using PyMuPDF
- **ADDED** UnifiedDocument model as common output format for both tracks
- **ADDED** DocumentTypeDetector service for automatic track selection
- **MODIFIED** OCR service to use PP-StructureV3's parsing_res_list instead of markdown
  - Now extracts all 23 element types with bbox coordinates
  - Preserves reading order and hierarchical structure
- **MODIFIED** PDF generator to handle UnifiedDocument format
  - Enhanced overlap detection to prevent text/image/table collisions
  - Improved coordinate transformation for accurate layout
- **ADDED** Foundation for structure-preserving translation system
- **BREAKING** JSON output structure will include new fields (backward compatible with defaults)

## Impact

- **Affected specs**:
  - `document-processing` (new capability)
  - `result-export` (enhanced with track metadata and structure data)
  - `task-management` (tracks processing route and history)
- **Affected code**:
  - `backend/app/services/ocr_service.py` - Major refactoring for dual-track
  - `backend/app/services/pdf_generator_service.py` - UnifiedDocument support
  - `backend/app/api/v2/tasks.py` - New endpoints for track detection
  - `frontend/src/pages/TaskDetailPage.tsx` - Display processing track info
- **Performance**: 5-10x faster for editable PDFs, same speed for scanned documents
- **Dependencies**: Adds PyMuPDF, pdfplumber, python-magic-bin
