egg 24253ac15e feat: unify Direct Track PDF rendering and simplify export options
Backend changes:
- Apply background image + invisible text layer to all Direct Track PDFs
- Add CHART to regions_to_avoid for text extraction
- Improve visual fidelity for native PDFs and Office documents

Frontend changes:
- Remove JSON, UnifiedDocument, Markdown download buttons
- Simplify to 2-column layout with only Layout PDF and Reflow PDF
- Remove translation JSON download and Layout PDF option
- Keep only Reflow PDF for translated document downloads
- Clean up unused imports (FileJson, Database, FileOutput)

Archives two OpenSpec proposals:
- unify-direct-track-pdf-rendering

# document-processing Specification
## Purpose
TBD - created by archiving change dual-track-document-processing. Update Purpose after archive.
## Requirements
### Requirement: Dual-track Processing
The system SHALL support two distinct processing tracks for documents: OCR track for scanned/image documents and Direct extraction track for editable PDFs.
#### Scenario: Process scanned PDF through OCR track
- **WHEN** a scanned PDF is uploaded
- **THEN** the system SHALL detect it requires OCR
- **AND** route it through PaddleOCR PP-StructureV3 pipeline
- **AND** return results in UnifiedDocument format
#### Scenario: Process editable PDF through direct extraction
- **WHEN** an editable PDF with extractable text is uploaded
- **THEN** the system SHALL detect it can be directly extracted
- **AND** route it through PyMuPDF extraction pipeline
- **AND** return results in UnifiedDocument format without OCR
#### Scenario: Auto-detect processing track
- **WHEN** a document is uploaded without explicit track specification
- **THEN** the system SHALL analyze the document type and content
- **AND** automatically select the optimal processing track
- **AND** include the selected track in processing metadata
### Requirement: Document Type Detection
The system SHALL provide intelligent document type detection to determine the optimal processing track.
#### Scenario: Detect editable PDF
- **WHEN** analyzing a PDF document
- **THEN** the system SHALL check for extractable text content
- **AND** return confidence score for editability
- **AND** recommend "direct" track if text coverage > 90%
#### Scenario: Detect scanned document
- **WHEN** analyzing an image or scanned PDF
- **THEN** the system SHALL identify lack of extractable text
- **AND** recommend "ocr" track for processing
- **AND** configure appropriate OCR models
#### Scenario: Detect Office documents
- **WHEN** analyzing .docx, .xlsx, .pptx files
- **THEN** the system SHALL identify Office format
- **AND** route to OCR track for initial implementation
- **AND** preserve option for future direct Office extraction
### Requirement: Unified Document Model
The system SHALL use a standardized UnifiedDocument model as the common output format for both processing tracks.
#### Scenario: Generate UnifiedDocument from OCR
- **WHEN** OCR processing completes
- **THEN** the system SHALL convert PP-StructureV3 results to UnifiedDocument
- **AND** preserve all element types, coordinates, and confidence scores
- **AND** maintain reading order and hierarchical structure
#### Scenario: Generate UnifiedDocument from direct extraction
- **WHEN** direct extraction completes
- **THEN** the system SHALL convert PyMuPDF results to UnifiedDocument
- **AND** preserve text styling, fonts, and exact positioning
- **AND** extract tables with cell boundaries and content
#### Scenario: Consistent output regardless of track
- **WHEN** processing completes through either track
- **THEN** the output SHALL conform to UnifiedDocument schema
- **AND** include processing_track metadata field
- **AND** support identical downstream operations (PDF generation, translation)
### Requirement: Enhanced OCR with Full PP-StructureV3
The system SHALL utilize the full capabilities of PP-StructureV3, extracting all 23 element types from parsing_res_list, with proper handling of visual elements and table coordinates.
#### Scenario: Extract comprehensive document structure
- **WHEN** processing through OCR track
- **THEN** the system SHALL use page_result.json['parsing_res_list']
- **AND** extract all element types including headers, lists, tables, figures
- **AND** preserve layout_bbox coordinates for each element
#### Scenario: Maintain reading order
- **WHEN** extracting elements from PP-StructureV3
- **THEN** the system SHALL preserve the reading order from parsing_res_list
- **AND** assign sequential indices to elements
- **AND** support reordering for complex layouts
#### Scenario: Extract table structure
- **WHEN** PP-StructureV3 identifies a table
- **THEN** the system SHALL extract cell content and boundaries
- **AND** validate cell_boxes coordinates against page boundaries
- **AND** apply fallback detection for invalid coordinates
- **AND** preserve table HTML for structure
- **AND** extract plain text for translation
#### Scenario: Extract visual elements with paths
- **WHEN** PP-StructureV3 identifies visual elements (IMAGE, FIGURE, CHART, DIAGRAM)
- **THEN** the system SHALL preserve saved_path for each element
- **AND** include image dimensions and format
- **AND** enable image embedding in output PDF
### Requirement: Structure-Preserving Translation Foundation
The system SHALL maintain document structure and layout information to support future translation features.
#### Scenario: Preserve coordinates for translation
- **WHEN** processing any document
- **THEN** the system SHALL retain bbox coordinates for all text elements
- **AND** calculate space requirements for text expansion/contraction
- **AND** maintain element relationships and groupings
#### Scenario: Extract translatable content
- **WHEN** processing tables and lists
- **THEN** the system SHALL extract plain text content
- **AND** maintain mapping to original structure
- **AND** preserve formatting markers for reconstruction
#### Scenario: Support layout adjustment
- **WHEN** preparing for translation
- **THEN** the system SHALL identify flexible vs fixed layout regions
- **AND** calculate maximum text expansion ratios
- **AND** preserve non-translatable elements (logos, signatures)
### Requirement: Generate UnifiedDocument from direct extraction
The system SHALL convert PyMuPDF results to UnifiedDocument with correct table cell merging.
#### Scenario: Extract tables with cell merging
- **WHEN** direct extraction encounters a table
- **THEN** the system SHALL use PyMuPDF find_tables() API
- **AND** extract cell content with correct rowspan/colspan
- **AND** preserve merged cell boundaries
- **AND** skip placeholder cells covered by merges
#### Scenario: Filter decoration images

- **AND** extract tables with cell boundaries, content, and merge info
- **AND** include only meaningful images in output
### Requirement: Direct Track Background Image Rendering
The system SHALL render Direct Track PDF output using a full-page background image with an invisible text overlay to preserve visual fidelity while maintaining text extractability.
#### Scenario: Render Direct Track PDF with background image
