What happens after capture
Original image → Google Drive (drive.file, folder Penlo) → downscaled copy → Gemini Vision OCR → text + summary saved to Postgres (tsvector GIN) → searchable at /search. Low-confidence pages show “OCR pending” until Gemini finishes; Drive link appears when configured. Re-OCR from page detail → Edit when you add it.
Tip: the checklist on / tracks these 3 steps via localStorage and auto-completes when notebooks exist. Dismiss it when you are done.
