//! TableFormer: table-structure recovery via docling-ibm-models, exported to
//! ONNX by `scripts/install/export_tableformer.py`. The image encoder + tag-transformer
//! encoder run once to a memory tensor; the decoder is then stepped
//! autoregressively to emit an OTSL structure-token sequence (the same model
//! docling runs). See docs/PDF_CONFORMANCE.md.
