Gives receipt capture the same treatment policy OCR just got: a doc that
records what is in the code, separate from the spec that records what was
designed. RECEIPT_CAPTURE_SPEC.md §2 had accumulated three BUILT notes
totalling ~120 lines of findings, which is the right place for the
evidence but the wrong place to look up how the matcher picks a column.
docs/STATEMENT_OCR.md covers the pipeline, the OCR seam and its
text-layer-first rule, all eight parsers and the ordering constraints
between them, the matcher's two governing rules and the scopedRefField
table, confirm-through-BillingService, the learning write-back, and the
API surface.
Weight goes to the things that are load-bearing and invisible from the
code shape: brand detection must run to completion before layout because
Tijuana bills predial and zona federal off the same treasury header;
scopedRefField is exported because three call sites must agree or a
reference gets learned into a column nothing searches; FEDERAL_ZONE's
accountNumber holds a peso amount, so it fails the null-guards as well
as the lookup; a misread `$` is the dangerous failure, not a missing one.
Also records that CFE/CESPT/Telnor have no unit suite — they predate the
gas/predial extension and were only verified end to end.

Policy OCR shipped 2026-08-01 (5e9cb12) and was documented nowhere. It is
not in INSURANCE_FEATURES_SPEC.md because it did not come from that
meeting — it came out of building the utility statement OCR pipeline in
RECEIPT_CAPTURE_SPEC.md §2 and noticing the same shape fits carrier
policy PDFs. A reader had no way to find that lineage.
New docs/POLICY_OCR.md covers it end to end, with weight on the three
things that are not obvious from the statement side:
- **One PDF = one policy.** Statements arrive bundled one customer per
page, so there a page is a document. A GMX certificate is one policy
across two pages, so the pages are concatenated and the parser runs
once per file — which is why `pageNumber` is a file ordinal and
`storageKey` is the source PDF, not a page image.
- **The GMX certificate carries no premium at all** — it lives on a
separate recibo PDF. Hence the null-preserving confirm and the
double-gated ledger write.
- **OcrModule was extracted out of StatementsModule to make this
possible**, and that was blocking rather than cosmetic.

API it partly overlaps), PLAN.md step 11, README and RESUME.md.
