-- **Unified Document Ingestion (`POST /api/ingest/file`):** Direct multipart ingestion powered by compiled Rust `anydoc` supporting PDF, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, CSV, EPUB, and Markdown with offloaded threadpool parsing and 50 MB payload ceilings.
+- **Unified Document Ingestion (`POST /api/ingest/file`):** Direct multipart ingestion powered by compiled Rust `anydoc` with automated `pdf-inspector` fallback for resilient extraction across PDF, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, CSV, EPUB, and Markdown with offloaded threadpool parsing and 75 MB payload ceilings.
 - **Compiled Rust Acceleration (`depth_engine`):** Sub-millisecond PyO3 native module providing SIMD-vectorized Reciprocal Rank Fusion (RRF), regex DFA query intent routing (<1 µs), CRAG confidence gating, and Lost-in-the-Middle U-shaped prompt ordering.
 - **Mosaic Negative Query Algebra:** Automatically parses negation syntax (`NOT term`, `-term`, `without term`) and applies Mosaic soft penalties ($\lambda = 0.5$) via `fuse_rrf` to suppress contaminated candidates rather than boosting them.

+## Document Ingestion & OCR Guidelines
+
+DepthAPI uses a two-tier extraction pipeline:
+
+1. **Native AnyDoc Engine:** Sub-millisecond zero-copy parsing of standard digital PDF, Office documents, spreadsheets, and Markdown via compiled Rust.
+2. **PDF-Inspector Fallback:** Integrated fallback using Firecrawl's `pdf-inspector` whenever AnyDoc yields extraction confidence $< 0.8$ or encounters complex unparsed layout streams.
+
+### Handling Scanned PDFs & Garbled Encodings (OCR / VLM)
+
+DepthAPI intentionally **does not bundle heavy OCR engines or Vision-Language Models (VLMs)** inside the core service. Packaging tools like Tesseract or local VLMs (e.g. Florence-2, Qwen2-VL) balloons container images from ~500 MB to 5+ GB and causes multi-hour CPU stalls during large batch ingestions.
+
+Instead, `pdf-inspector` acts as a triage gatekeeper:
+- When a document contains no digital text streams, `pdf-inspector` classifies it as `pdf_type='scanned'` (`reasons=['scanned']`).
+- When a document contains corrupted font CMaps (e.g., Caesar-shifted ASCII glyphs), `pdf-inspector` flags `suspected_garbled_text`.
+
+**Recommended Workflow for Scanned or Image-Only Documents:**
+- Pre-process scanned PDFs with an OCR utility before ingestion:
+  ```bash
+  ocrmypdf input_scanned.pdf input_ocr.pdf
+  ```
+- Alternatively, recommend using Tesseract for CPU-only environments or any vision/OCR model of your choice, and ingest the resulting clean text or Markdown via `POST /api/ingest`.
