The fast (pypdfium2) extractor can leak raw glyph codes on subset fonts with a
broken /ToUnicode CMap. The result scores high on the existing text-quality
heuristic -- a uniform glyph/Caesar offset preserves whitespace and token
lengths -- yet is unsearchable. The structured (pymupdf) tier extracts the same
pages correctly.
Add a language-agnostic C0-control-character-ratio signal to the tier-0
classifier that detects this corruption and routes the document to a new
`structured` recommended_tier. Wire the fast->structured hop on the inline path
and generalise it so a low-quality-but-non-empty layer also tries structured
before OCR -- the inline and external ingest modes now follow the full
fast->structured->ocr ladder identically. A scanned / no-text-layer document
(total_chars == 0) still shortcuts straight to OCR, since a text extractor
cannot recover a pure raster.
New per-tenant tunable DOCUMENT_GLYPH_CORRUPTION_RATIO (default 0.02); escalation
metrics gain a `corrupt_glyphs` reason label.
