Modules

Module or class	Responsibility
Pipeline	Runs configured stages and exposes Page snapshots and execution timings.
Stack	Composes processors, accumulates detector regions and optionally runs independent detectors in parallel.
data	Defines elements, parent-child links, validation, COCO serialization and text output.
detectors	Produces configured regions and optional detailed detection results.
layouts	Groups, reparents and orders existing regions.
recognizers	Recognizes selected text regions and combines independent predictions.
correctors	Updates recognized text, including CharLM character substitutions.
models	Resolves remote catalogs and manages local model artifacts.
utils	Provides image input, geometry, grouping, transformations and visualization.
api	Defines stage protocols, base classes and shared artifact-loading behavior.
