claudeandClaude Opus 4.8 1d3e52a5ed feat(scrape): vision OCR of image-only doc pages (support matrices)
Some HPE pages carry information only inside an image. The Morpheus
release schedule / support-lifecycle matrix (sf000111242en_us) is the
case that surfaced this: the entire "which version ships when, when a
stream hits Maintenance/EOL" table is a JPEG, so html_to_md dropped
every value and retrieval could never answer "when does 8.x.x reach
end of life".

New scrape/vision.py (opt-in via VISION_OCR) transcribes qualifying
images with a local Ollama vision model and appends a labeled markdown
block to the page so the text is chunked, embedded and retrieved.

Model/prompt chosen against ground truth on the matrix (14x4 cells):
- qwen2.5vl:7b + a bare "transcribe the table" prompt: 55-56/56, ~18s,
  GPU-resident, and prompt-ROBUST (accurate without hand-tuning).
- gemma3:12b needs an exact "read row by row, keep cells aligned"
  prompt or it shifts a column by one row; qwen2.5vl:32b is no more
  accurate and 5x slower (CPU spill). Both documented in the code.
- Note: self-consistency (2 samples must agree) only catches RANDOM
  flakiness — a wrong read is stable across seeds — so every block also
  ships a "verify against the source image" caveat.

Reliability/cost:
- content-hash cache in corpus/.vision-cache/ (committed) — each unique
  image OCR'd once ever, shared across version bundles.
- VISION_MAX_NEW bounds NEW OCRs per run so the first pass can't balloon
  into hours; the cache fills incrementally. Deferred count is logged.
- every failure path degrades to the pre-vision behavior; never blocks
  the scrape.

Also:
- add the morpheus_release_schedule bundle (sf single-doc) + 2 eval
  golden queries for it.
- fetch_single_doc: title falls back to the bundle title (not docId)
  when a page has no <h1> (sf solution articles).
- Pillow in requirements-vision.txt (scrape-only; kept out of the
  server image), installed + VISION_* wired into refresh.yml.

Verified locally: matrix transcribes to the exact 14-row table; second
run is a cache hit (ocr=0).

"""Local-Ollama vision OCR for corpus images (opt-in, off by default).
Some HPE doc pages carry information *only* inside an image. The Morpheus
release schedule / support matrix (sf000111242en_us) is the canonical case:
the entire lifecycle table — which version ships when, when a stream hits
Maintenance/EOL — is a JPEG, so html_to_md would drop every value and
retrieval could never answer "when does Morpheus 8.x.x reach end of life".
When VISION_OCR=1, `transcribe()` sends qualifying images to a local vision
model (qwen2.5vl:7b on the host Ollama by default) and returns a labeled
markdown block that html_to_md appends to the page, so the text gets chunked,
embedded and retrieved.
Model choice (measured on the release-schedule matrix, known ground truth):
qwen2.5vl:7b scored 55/56 cells with a bare prompt, ~18s/image, fully on GPU,
and — unlike gemma3:12b — needs no hand-tuned prompt (gemma is accurate only
with an exact "read row by row, keep cells aligned" instruction). qwen2.5vl:32b
was no more accurate (same single miss) and 5x slower (CPU spill). See the
_PROMPT comment for the per-model wording lore.
Reliability (the whole point of this module):
- temperature 0 + a model/prompt pairing chosen against ground truth.
- Two samples with different seeds must AGREE after normalization
(self-consistency). On disagreement we take a third sample and keep the
majority, flagged `certain=False` so the reader knows to double-check.
Self-consistency catches RANDOM flakiness only — a model that reads a
table wrong does so identically every run — so every transcription also
ships with a "verify against the source image" caveat.
Cost control (a full --force re-scrape re-touches every page weekly):
- Content-hash cache in corpus/.vision-cache/ — each unique image is
OCR'd once, ever, and the result is committed so CI reuses it. The same
diagram shared across version bundles collapses to one OCR.
- VISION_MAX_NEW bounds NEW OCRs per run so the first run can't balloon
into hours; the cache fills incrementally over subsequent refreshes.
Deferred images are logged (never silently dropped).
Every failure path degrades to None — a down endpoint, a timeout, a decode
error — so the scrape never blocks on vision. Defaults target the git.jpaul.io
Ollama host; override via env for other deployments.
Config (env):
VISION_OCR "1" to enable (default off)
VISION_URL Ollama base URL (default http://192.168.0.2:11434)
VISION_MODEL vision model tag (default qwen2.5vl:7b)
VISION_PROMPT override the OCR prompt (default is tuned for qwen2.5vl)
VISION_MIN_W/H min image dims to OCR (default 600 x 300 — skips icons)
VISION_MAX_NEW new OCRs per run (budget) (default 60)
VISION_NUM_CTX Ollama context window (default 8192)
VISION_TIMEOUT per-call seconds (default 300)

# - qwen2.5vl:7b (default): a bare "transcribe the table" instruction scores
# 55/56 cells; adding ANY extra clause (a non-table fallback, "preserve
# blank cells") regressed it to 51/56. So keep it minimal. qwen also reads
# it correctly WITHOUT hand-tuning — the prompt-robustness we want.
# - gemma3:12b: the opposite — the bare prompt shifts a column by one row;
# it needs an explicit "read row by row, keep cells aligned to their
# column" instruction to hit 55/56.
# The single cell every local model (incl. qwen2.5vl:32b) misses is the merged
# "9.1.2 - 9.3.2" range row. Set VISION_PROMPT to override for other models.
