Add DOCUMENT_OCR_MODE=sync|batch (default sync). In batch mode the tier-3 OCR
processor submits documents to the embedding gateway's async Batch OCR routes
(POST /v1/ocr/batch + GET /v1/ocr/batch/{job_id}, astrolabe-cloud-website#372)
for ~50% cheaper large-corpus backfill. The direct Mistral OCR path is left
untouched. Tracked on Deck #332.
Batch jobs run minutes-hours, so the OCR tier cannot block (the procrastinate
worker reclaims jobs in `doing` after INGEST_STALLED_JOB_SECONDS). Instead it
submits, records the gateway job id in a new per-tenant `batch_ocr_jobs` table
(procrastinate args are immutable across retries), and raises a BatchPending
signal that TieredEscalationStrategy turns into a same-queue deferred re-poll —
releasing the worker slot between polls. On completion the per-page markdown is
indexed like the sync path; a failure or a job past
DOCUMENT_OCR_BATCH_MAX_WAIT_SECONDS marks the document parse-failed.
Batch is opt-in and gateway-only: with the direct mistral backend, no gateway
URL, or the inline/memory pipeline (which can't defer), it falls back to sync.
One batch job per document (coalescing N docs/job is a follow-up).
- embedding/gateway_batch_client.py: submit/poll client (reuses GatewayTokenProvider).
- vector/batch_ocr_store.py + migration 008: job tracking (portable SQLite+PG).
- document_processors/escalation.py: BatchPending control-flow signal.
- document_processors/ocr.py: batch state machine + sync fallback.
- vector/processor.py: thread doc identity to the OCR tier; raise BatchPending
from the pending sentinel; propagate it as control flow (not a failure).
- vector/queue/procrastinate.py: BatchPending -> same-queue retry_in, exempt
from the transient cap (bounded by the processor's deadline).
- config + docs; tests across client/store/processor/strategy/parse-tier.
1653 unit tests pass; ruff + ty green.

- escalation: EscalationDecision.reason is now Literal["empty_text",
"low_confidence"] (parity with kind; ty catches a bad label at call sites).
- processor: nest the decision handling so the hop branch is reached via an
explicit else under `if decision is not None` — exhaustive over the Literal
kind, no None-attribute risk.
- tests: add the "OCR processor unregistered (not just disabled) → None"
quadrant, locking in absent != suppressed.

- escalation: EscalationDecision.kind is now Literal["hop","suppressed"] so ty
catches a bad kind statically (and the processor branch is exhaustive).
- processor: simplify the suppressed-escalation log line (no longer repeats
to_tier / tier).
- registry: clarify _tier_available's ignore_enabled drops the OCR-enabled gate
specifically (a future per-tier gate would extend the condition).

OCR is the paid, opt-in tier (DOCUMENT_OCR_ENABLED, default off). The per-tier
escalation gate already declines to hop to OCR when it's disabled (the pre-OCR
tier is terminal — no surprise cost), but that left operators blind to how much
OCR demand exists.
evaluate_escalation now returns a structured EscalationDecision:
- "hop" — a higher tier can run; the caller raises EscalateError (queue-hop).
- "suppressed" — the ideal next tier (e.g. ocr) exists but is DISABLED; the caller
indexes the current tier's output as terminal and records the
would-be hop on the new astrolabe_document_escalation_suppressed_total
{from_tier,to_tier,reason} counter instead of hopping.
- None — index as-is (good text, or no such tier at all).
So with OCR off, escalation_suppressed_total{to_tier="ocr"} is the latent OCR
demand an operator weighs before enabling OCR; enabling it converts these into
real document_escalation_total{to_tier="ocr"} hops. next_available_tier gains an
ignore_enabled flag to compute the *ideal* (enabled-gate-ignored) target.
Tests: registry suppressed vs hop vs terminal (incl. structured-hop-not-suppressed
when OCR off but structured available); _parse_pdf_tier records suppressed +
indexes without raising.

- metrics: update_ingest_queue_depth now pre-zeroes every managed ingest queue
before applying live counts, so a queue that drains to empty (and drops out of
procrastinate's list_queues_async) reads 0 instead of sticking at its last
non-zero value (ghost backlog in Grafana/alerts). Adds a regression test.
- procrastinate: comment that _is_transient_infra_error treats all qdrant errors
as transient deliberately (bounded same-tier retry; over-broad is acceptable).
- escalation: note next_tier is the building block; production routing uses
ProcessorRegistry.next_available_tier.
- tests: add evaluate_escalation fast+ocr-only low-confidence -> ocr case.
Deck #323.

- Register the periodic stalled-job reclaim on a dedicated ingest-maintenance
queue that every worker drains (any --tier), so reclaim still fires when the
fast fleet is scaled to zero and only ocr workers run. procrastinate's
periodic-defer dedup keeps it single-run across drainers.
- escalation: mark `unsupported`/`forced` reason labels as reserved (not raised).
- processor: note that options/progress_callback are intentionally not threaded
through _parse_pdf_tier yet (symmetric with the inline path).
- tests: assert TieredEscalationStrategy backoff progression (4/8/16/…/300s);
cover get_ingest_pending per-queue aggregation + the legacy job_counts
fallback; add an external-path zero-page no-escalation case; use the canonical
INGEST_QUEUE_FAST instead of the back-compat alias.

Split external (procrastinate) document processing into per-tier queues so a
document is attempted at most once per tier and requeued to the next tier's
queue on a low-quality parse, using procrastinate's native retry.
- escalation.py: TIER_LADDER (fast->structured->ocr) + EscalateError signal
- registry: process_tier (one tier) + evaluate_escalation post-parse gate
(reuses classify_from_text) + next_available_tier; shared _classify_result
and _oversize_result with the inline pipeline
- processor: process_document(tier=...) runs one tier and raises EscalateError
before embed (junk text never indexed); inline memory path unchanged
- queue/procrastinate: ingest-fast|structured|ocr queues; TieredEscalationStrategy
(queue-hop on EscalateError, bounded same-tier transient retry); queue-aware
task; producer defers to ingest-fast; per-queue counts + all-queue reclaim
- cli: worker --tier {fast,structured,ocr}
- billing: pages_ocr usage event + pipeline_tier metadata (paid OCR billed apart)
- observability: astrolabe_ingest_queue_depth{queue,status} gauge + per-queue
counts in nc_get_vector_sync_status / management status endpoint
- config: INGEST_ESCALATION_ENABLED (default true), INGEST_TRANSIENT_MAX_ATTEMPTS
INGEST_ESCALATION_ENABLED=false and INGEST_QUEUE=memory preserve prior behaviour.
