rcli ocr + SDK 0.20.36 pin — DO NOT MERGE YET#56Conversation
SDK 0.20.36 makes OCR a first-class modality (`MODEL_CATEGORY_OCR`,
`SDK_COMPONENT_OCR`, `ocr.proto`, the lifecycle component). This is the CLI verb
for it, plus the catalog row and the pin.
src/commands/cmd_ocr.cpp rcli ocr <page.ppm> --model <ref> [--json]
src/app.cpp, commands.h registration
src/catalog/catalog.cpp nemotron_ocr_v1_full_ane / "ocr-ane"
cmake/sdk-pin.cmake 0.20.36, IDL 1.2.0, three kit SHA-256s
`read_page`, not `recognize`. Full-page OCR is two models, and for this family the
recognizer's input is a grid-sampled crop of the DETECTOR's feature map rather than
a line image — so `recognize` returns NOT_SUPPORTED and there is no line-level verb
to expose. PPM (P6) for the same reason cmd_segment uses it: the dependency-free
format the CLI can decode without linking a codec.
The JSON output carries the QUAD, not just the text. Geometry is half of what OCR
produces; dropping it would make the JSON strictly less useful than the C API it
wraps, and it is what a caller needs to crop, sort into reading order, or draw a box.
PIN. The kit checksums are the REAL v0.20.36 ones, taken from the release's own
.sha256 sidecars (ed2ddeb6 / 9014f0c7 / 4a877ab7). An earlier draft of this change
carried the 0.20.35 values because it was written before 0.20.36 was cut — exactly
the staleness class that failed `publish` on three consecutive SDK releases. IDL
moves 1.1.1 -> 1.2.0 for MODEL_CATEGORY_OCR.
VERIFIED: builds clean against a local 0.20.36 kit + the private NeuRT overlay, and
`rcli-cxx backends --json` reports neurt serving nine primitives including `ocr`,
which is a ROUTABLE registration and not a file-on-disk check. `rcli ocr` runs end
to end on the Neural Engine and returns regions with geometry.
NOT MERGEABLE YET, and the catalog row is why: it points at
`nemotron-ocr-v1-full_ANE`, and **v1 cannot read a page**. The identical pipeline
with v2 weights reads the vendor's own example document:
v2 @1024: 'RECONCILIATION' 'OUTSTANDING' '£14,389.43' '£19,227.44'
v1 @ any: '5555…' 'RRRRRRRRRRRRRR' 'OOOO' 'P'
Every SDK component was verified faithful against torch first. v1 was converted on
per-tensor gates measured against seeded synthetic crops — export fidelity, not page
accuracy. Repoint this row at a v2 bundle before merging; the verb and the plumbing
are done.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift
Remove or replace the known-broken OCR model.
ocr-ane resolves to nemotron_ocr_v1_full_ane. The PR objective states that this bundle does not correctly read pages. Users can therefore complete rcli ocr successfully but receive incorrect OCR output.
Do not register this entry until a verified v2 bundle is available. Alternatively, repoint this row to that bundle before merge.

export fidelity, not page accuracy.
To unblock: convert v2 (detector already converts; recognizer blocked on an exporter bug —
see neurun#92), publish a
nemotron-ocr-v2-full_ANEbundle, repoint this row, and use the pageas the acceptance test rather than a cosine.
