Typography-heavy images can opt into the experimental verified-text post-pass.
It accepts manually reviewed strings and line boxes or an operator-verified
geometry-only manifest; it never treats raw OCR output as ground truth or runs
automatically:
```bash
uv tool install --force "remove-ai-watermarks[text-restoration]"
