fix(visible): guard extract_mask against degenerate ROIs (Windows CI crash)

The always-align removal scores each placement with a residual detect(),
which on an extremely wide/short image (2048x1, test_wide_short_does_not_raise)
fed cv2 GaussianBlur a ~1-px-tall ROI and faulted natively on Windows py3.12
(access violation, non-deterministic -- one CI cell went red, a re-run passed).
The old at-native path never ran detect() on degenerate sizes. Skip the cv2
pipeline and return an empty mask when bh < 16 or bw < 16; real images always
clear the guard (the WM_* box floors are max(16,..) / max(40,..)). Same fix in
both Doubao and Jimeng. Also sync the stale Doubao module docstring.
