Marc-André Bombeck b06d7dbd92 fix(documents): recognise a lab report printed outside English and German
The gate that decides whether a transcribed document is worth an extraction
call scored four classes of evidence and needed two. Three of them — the
reference-range label, the analyte names, the report header — were written in
English and German, so a French, Spanish, Italian or Polish report scored at
most one: the units, which are the same everywhere. Auto-staging never fired
for it. The document was lost from the flow silently, because the manual
extract button stays available and nothing reads as broken.

The text is folded once — lower case, accents dropped — and every pattern is
matched against that, which on its own recovers a good deal: "Cholestérol",
"Créatinine" and "Emoglobina" reach the existing stems as soon as the accents
are out of the way. The reference-range labels and report headers of the four
locales are added by hand, because they are prose a lab printed and the app
owns no string for them.

The analyte names ARE derived, from `labs.catalog.<slug>` across every shipped
bundle: those are names the app itself displays, and a new locale should not
need an edit here to be recognised. Names under four folded characters are
dropped — "ALT" is German for "old", and a three-letter alternative in a gate
this cheap would make every German letter a lab report. The acronyms worth
having are in the hand-written half, where each was considered on its own.

Which way this errs, stated at the code: a false negative loses a whole
document from auto-staging, while a false positive costs one extraction call
and stages facts a person then declines — nothing commits either way. So the
vocabulary is widened, and the two-distinct-class rule holds the other side.
The derived names extend the analyte class rather than forming a fifth one, so
a document naming one analyte in two languages still scores one. Tests pin
each addition on a case that fails the gate without it, and pin the prose that
must keep failing it.
