When a document has manually drawn annotation boxes, the user can now
enable "Nur annotierte Bereiche" in the OCR trigger panel. The engine
skips layout detection entirely and runs recognition only within the
pre-drawn bounding boxes, preserving manual transcription blocks.
- Python: adds OcrRegion model, extend OcrRequest/OcrBlock; guided
branch in /ocr/stream groups by page and crops each region
- Engines: add extract_region_text() to both Kraken and Surya
- Java: adds OcrBlockResult.annotationId, OcrClient.OcrRegion,
TriggerOcrDTO.useExistingAnnotations; OcrAsyncRunner dispatches to
upsertGuidedBlock when annotationId is present; OcrService threads
the flag through to runSingleDocument
- TranscriptionService: adds upsertGuidedBlock (creates, updates OCR,
or preserves MANUAL blocks)
- Frontend: guided OCR toggle in OcrTrigger shown when blocks exist;
skips destructive-replace confirmation in guided mode

Pydantic v2 Field(alias=...) doesn't work with FastAPI as expected.
The Java client sends camelCase (pdfUrl, scriptType, pageNumber).
Use camelCase field names directly instead of aliases.

Python microservice (ocr-service/):
- FastAPI app with /ocr and /health endpoints
- Surya engine: transformer-based OCR for typewritten/modern handwriting
- Kraken engine: historical HTR for Kurrent/Suetterlin with
pure-Python polygon-to-quad approximation (gift wrapping + rotating calipers)
- Eager model loading at startup via lifespan context manager
- PDF download via httpx, page rendering via pypdfium2 at 300 DPI
Java RestClientOcrClient:
- Implements OcrClient + OcrHealthClient interfaces
- Calls Python service via Spring RestClient
- Health check with graceful fallback
Docker Compose:
- New ocr-service container (mem_limit 6g, no host ports)
- Health check with start_period 60s for model loading
- ocr_models volume for Kraken model files
- Backend depends on ocr-service health
