+# Implementation Prompt: Persistent OCR Worker + Engine Selection + Job Queue
+
+## Context
+
+Ești într-un git worktree separat (`feature/ocr-persistent-worker-queue`) pentru implementarea sistemului OCR îmbunătățit.
+
+**Branch**: `feature/ocr-persistent-worker-queue`
+**Bază**: `main` (commit 77d74a9)
+
+## Task Principal
+
+Implementează sistemul OCR cu:
+1. **Worker Persistent** - PaddleOCR încărcat O DATĂ la startup (nu 30s per request)
+2. **Engine Selection** - Parametru API pentru `paddleocr`, `tesseract`, sau `auto`
+3. **Tesseract Optimizat** - Fix inversare imagine + OEM 1 + multi-PSM
+4. **Windows IIS Compatible** - Funcționează cu NSSM service management
+5. **SQLite Job Queue** - Procesare secvențială cu poziție în coadă și estimare timp
+
+## Planul Detaliat
+
+Citește planul complet în:
+```
+/home/marius/.claude/plans/serene-growing-newell.md
+```
+
+## Fișiere de Creat (Noi)
+
+1. `backend/modules/data_entry/services/ocr/__init__.py`
+2. `backend/modules/data_entry/services/ocr/ocr_worker_pool.py` - Manager ProcessPoolExecutor
+3. `backend/modules/data_entry/services/ocr/ocr_worker_process.py` - Cod pentru worker process
+4. `backend/modules/data_entry/services/ocr/tesseract_engine.py` - Tesseract optimizat
+5. `backend/modules/data_entry/services/ocr/job_queue.py` - SQLite Job Queue Manager
+6. `backend/modules/data_entry/services/ocr/job_worker.py` - Background worker pentru coadă
+7. `data/ocr_queue/` - Director pentru fișiere în coadă
+
+## Fișiere de Modificat
+
+1. `backend/modules/data_entry/schemas/ocr.py` - Noi scheme OCRJobResponse
+2. `backend/modules/data_entry/routers/ocr.py` - Endpoint-uri job queue + engine param
+3. `backend/modules/data_entry/services/ocr_service.py` - Folosire worker pool
+4. `backend/modules/data_entry/services/image_preprocessor.py` - Fix inversare Tesseract
+5. `backend/main.py` - Startup/shutdown hooks pentru worker pool + job worker
+
+## Ordine Implementare (Faze)
+
+### Faza 1: Infrastructură Worker
+1. Creare `services/ocr/__init__.py`
+2. Creare `ocr_worker_pool.py`
+3. Creare `ocr_worker_process.py`
+4. Creare `tesseract_engine.py`
+
+### Faza 2: SQLite Job Queue
+5. Creare `job_queue.py` cu schema SQLite
+6. Creare `job_worker.py` background task
+7. Creare director `data/ocr_queue/`
+
+### Faza 3: API Integration
+8. Update `schemas/ocr.py` - adăugare OCRJobResponse, OCRJobStatus
+9. Update `routers/ocr.py` - modificare /extract, adăugare /jobs/{id}
+10. Update `main.py` - startup job worker
+
+### Faza 4: Tesseract Fix
+11. Fix inversare în `image_preprocessor.py`
+
+### Faza 5: Frontend (opțional)
+12. Update componenta OCR pentru polling
+13. Afișare poziție coadă și estimare timp
+
+## Criterii Succes
+
+- [ ] Prima cerere OCR după restart: <5s (nu 30s)
+- [ ] 10 cereri consecutive fără memory leak
+- [ ] `?engine=tesseract` produce text lizibil
+- [ ] `?engine=paddleocr` funcționează independent
+- [ ] POST /extract returnează instant (<100ms) cu job_id
+- [ ] GET /jobs/{id} returnează poziție corectă în coadă
+- [ ] Estimare timp ±30% din realitate
+- [ ] Jobs expiră și se șterg după 24h
+- [ ] Windows: stop service → no orphan python.exe
+
+## Comenzi Utile
+
+```bash
+# Start backend (development)
+cd /mnt/e/proiecte/ab-worktrees/ocr-persistent-worker-queue
+./start-test.sh
+
+# Verificare OCR
+curl -X POST "http://localhost:8001/api/data-entry/ocr/extract?engine=auto" \
+ -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
+ -F "file=@test-receipt.jpg"
+
+# Poll job status

+ -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN"
+
+# Queue status
+curl "http://localhost:8001/api/data-entry/ocr/queue/status" \
+ -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN"
+```
+
+## Notă Importantă
+
+Acest worktree este izolat de main. După finalizare, SI DOAR DUPA TOATE TESTELE, OFERA POSIBILITATEA UTILIZATORULUI (NU FACE TU AUTOMAT):
+1. Commit toate schimbările
+2. Push branch-ul: `git push -u origin feature/ocr-persistent-worker-queue`
+3. Creează PR către main
+
+## Start
+
+Începe cu Faza 1 - creează directorul `services/ocr/` și primul fișier `__init__.py`.

+Optimized Tesseract Engine for OCR - SPEED + QUALITY OPTIMIZED

+- Single PSM mode (PSM 4) instead of multi-PSM (4 modes × 2 calls = 8x faster)
+- Single Tesseract call per image (skip image_to_data for speed)
+- Lighter preprocessing (no over-binarization)
+- --dpi 300 flag for proper scaling
+- OEM 3 (default LSTM+Legacy) for balanced speed/accuracy
+
+Quality optimizations for Romanian receipts:
+- PSM 4: Single column layout (optimal for receipts)
+- Polarity correction: ensures black text on white background
+- Language: Romanian only (-l ron) for faster recognition
+- Fallback to PSM 6 if PSM 4 produces poor results
+
+Previous issues fixed:
+- Was 8x slower than PaddleOCR due to multi-PSM + dual calls
+- Produced gibberish on clear PDFs due to over-binarization
