# OCR Service

→ See [ocr-service/README.md](./README.md) for tech stack, architecture, endpoints, environment variables, local development, testing, and training.

**LLM reminder:** the OCR service is a **single-node container** — training reloads the model in-process, so multiple replicas cause model-state divergence (see ADR-001). All job tracking and business logic stay in Spring Boot; the Python service is stateless OCR only.

**LLM reminder:** `ALLOWED_PDF_HOSTS` must never be set to `*` — that opens SSRF. The default (`minio,localhost,127.0.0.1`) is correct for dev.
