"""
Zone-based OCR extraction engine.
After a document is consumed, this module checks if the document's type has
an active OCR template. If so, it renders the relevant pages as images,
crops each zone, runs Tesseract OCR on the crop, applies transforms,
and writes the results to the mapped custom fields.
