Address 8 issues found in spec audit (post PR #2): 1. §refs label: distinguish design vs report sections in p3-1 / p3-2 / p4-2 / p9-1 / p9-5 contract_sections (e.g., "report §11.2 Ollama" not "§11.2"). 2. mock feature gate: gate MockEmbedder (p3-1) and MockLanguageModel (p4-1) behind `mock` cargo feature, default OFF; add CI symbol-scan as DoD item. 3. Warning type unification: p1-2 frontmatter now emits `kb_parse_types::Warning` (matches p1-3 / p1-4); drops crate-internal type. 4. p4-3 streaming thread: explicitly single-threaded inside RagPipeline::ask; collection + sink.send share the calling thread, no race. UI concurrency is callers responsibility (TUI worker thread pattern in p9-3). 5. p6-2 tesseract version: noted that `tesseract` 0.13 has no stable Rust `version()` accessor; use TessVersion FFI or shell-out + cache approach. 6. p9-* App struct extensions: introduce `kb_tui::{Library,Search,Ask,Inspect}State` slots in p9-1 forward-decl form; p9-2/3/4 fill bodies in their own crate without editing `App`. Parallel-safety contract added. 7. p3-3 cosine score: shift `(sim+1)/2` instead of clamp; preserve ranking signal between unrelated and opposite vectors. Clamp reserved for NaN. 8. fixtures/ root: p0-1 DoD now creates all fixture subdirs with .gitkeep so downstream tasks have a stable target path.

# p6-2 — OCR adapter
|
||
|
||
## Goal
|
||
|
||
Define `OcrEngine` trait + a Tesseract-backed default implementation. Populate `ImageRefBlock.ocr` with `OcrText { joined, regions, engine, engine_version }`. Provide an `apple-vision` feature gate that switches to a sidecar binary on macOS.
|
||
|
||
## Why now / why this size
|
||
|
||
Strict separation of OCR (observed text) from caption (model-generated). Confining engine choice to a single trait + adapter lets us swap to Apple Vision or PaddleOCR without touching the extractor or chunker.
|
||
|
||
## Allowed dependencies
|
||
|
||
- `kb-core`
|
||
- `kb-config`
|
||
- `kb-parse-image` (consumes its types)
|
||
- `tesseract = "0.13"` (feature `tesseract`, default ON)
|
||
- For feature `apple-vision`: `std::process::Command` only (sidecar binary, not a Rust dep)
|
||
- `serde`, `serde_json`
|
||
- `image`
|
||
- `tracing`
|
||
- `thiserror`

## Inputs
|
||

|
||
|
||
## Public surface (signatures only — no new types)
|
||
|
||
```rust
|
||
pub trait OcrEngine: Send + Sync {
|
||
fn engine_name(&self) -> &'static str;
|
||
fn engine_version(&self) -> String;
|
||
fn recognize(&self, image_bytes: &[u8], lang_hint: Option<&kb_core::Lang>) -> anyhow::Result<kb_core::OcrText>;
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
pub struct TesseractOcr { /* internal: lazy api handle */ }
|
||
impl TesseractOcr { pub fn new(config: &kb_config::Config) -> anyhow::Result<Self>; }
|
||
impl OcrEngine for TesseractOcr { /* per trait */ }
|
||
|
||
#[cfg(feature = "apple-vision")]
|
||
pub struct AppleVisionOcr { /* sidecar path */ }
|
||
#[cfg(feature = "apple-vision")]
|
||
impl OcrEngine for AppleVisionOcr { /* per trait */ }
|
||
|
||
pub fn apply_ocr(
|
||
engine: &dyn OcrEngine,
|
||
image_bytes: &[u8],
|
||
block: &mut kb_core::ImageRefBlock,
|
||
lang_hint: Option<&kb_core::Lang>,
|
||
) -> anyhow::Result<()>;
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Behavior contract
|
||
|
||
- Tesseract:
|
||
- Languages from `config.ocr.languages` (default `["eng", "kor"]`).
|
||
- Recognition produces `OcrRegion { bbox: (x, y, w, h), text, confidence }` for each "word" or "line" (configurable; default "line").
|
||
- Drop regions with `confidence < config.ocr.min_confidence` (default 60.0). If all dropped, return `OcrText { joined: "", regions: vec![], engine, engine_version }`.
|
||
- `joined` = `regions.iter().map(|r| r.text).join(" ")` (no smart layout reconstruction in v1).
|
||
- `engine = "tesseract"`, `engine_version = <tesseract version string>`. The `tesseract` crate (0.13+) does NOT expose a stable Rust `version()` accessor. Use one of: (a) call libtesseract's `TessVersion()` via the bundled FFI surface, OR (b) at adapter construction, shell-out `tesseract --version` once and cache the parsed `"5.3.4"`-style string. Both are deterministic for a fixed install. Pin the chosen approach in the implementation PR.
|
||
- Apple Vision sidecar (feature `apple-vision`):
|
||
- Spawn a small Swift binary `kb-vision-ocr` (path from `config.ocr.apple_vision_binary`) feeding the image via stdin and reading JSON `{ regions: [{x,y,w,h,text,confidence}, ...] }` from stdout.
|
||
- Same threshold and `joined` rules as Tesseract. `engine = "apple-vision"`, `engine_version = sidecar's --version`.
|
||
- This subagent task does NOT write the Swift sidecar; it only wires the Rust side. Document the expected sidecar interface in `docs/spec/sidecar-vision.md` (separate doc spec stub, optional).
|
||
- `apply_ocr` calls `engine.recognize`, sets `block.ocr = Some(text)`, and appends a `Provenance::OcrApplied` event in the caller's CanonicalDocument (caller responsibility — this task exposes a helper).
|
||
- Streaming / large images: cap decoded image size at 8192×8192 before passing to OCR; downscale with `image::imageops::resize` if larger.
|
||
- Trust: `OcrText` is **observed text** (high trust). Captions (`ModelCaption`) are NOT generated here.
|
||
- Determinism: Tesseract is deterministic for a fixed input + fixed page-segmentation mode; apply_ocr asserts this by calling twice in dev tests. Apple Vision is also deterministic in practice but may vary across macOS versions; document this and accept.
|
||
|
||
## Storage / wire effects
|
||
|
||
- None.
|
||
|
||
## Test plan
|
||
|
||
| kind | description | fixture / data |
|
||
|------|-------------|----------------|
|
||
| unit | Tesseract recognizes English on `fixtures/image/hello-world.png` (joined contains "hello world") | fixture |
|
||
| unit | confidence threshold drops noise regions | fixture with low-quality text |
|
||
| unit | Korean text recognized when `kor` language enabled | `fixtures/image/안녕.png` |
|
||
| unit | empty result returns `OcrText { joined: "", regions: [], .. }` not error | `fixtures/image/no-text.png` |
|
||
| unit | `apply_ocr` mutates block.ocr from None → Some | inline |
|
||
| determinism | two runs of recognize on same input → identical OcrText | fixture |
|
||
| `#[cfg(feature = "apple-vision")]` smoke | sidecar invocation captured (mock binary echoes fixed JSON) | inline mock |
|
||
|
||
All tests under `cargo test -p kb-parse-image ocr`. Tesseract install required on CI host.
|
||
|
||
## Definition of Done
|
||
|
||
- [ ] `cargo check -p kb-parse-image --features tesseract` passes
|
||
- [ ] `cargo test -p kb-parse-image ocr` passes
|
||
- [ ] `apple-vision` feature compiles on macOS and gracefully no-ops on Linux
|
||
- [ ] No imports outside Allowed dependencies
|
||
- [ ] PR links design §3.4, §3.7a, §9.1
|
||
|
||
## Out of scope
|
||
|
||
- Caption (p6-3).
|
||
- Visual embedding (P+).
|
||
- Layout-aware reading order (P+).
|
||
- PaddleOCR / EasyOCR adapters.
|
||
|
||
## Risks / notes
|
||
|
||
- Tesseract performance varies wildly with image quality; document `min_confidence` and default page-segmentation mode.
|
||
- Apple Vision sidecar requires code signing for distribution; for v1 dev builds, accept unsigned binary from `~/.local/bin/kb-vision-ocr`.
|
||
- Large image downscale loses small-text recognition; expose `config.ocr.max_pixels` so power users can tune.
