teamchong 4774aeb14c feat(eval): in-image instruction variant (reflow-inimage) — +1.04pp vs baseline
Co-render the OCR instruction into the same PNG as the content,
delimited by '===…===' bands, with the API system field dropped.

L1 OCR fidelity, Opus 4.7, 20 production blocks, 7×10 cell:
- baseline (text-only):       97.91% mean / 96.25% min
- reflow (separate system):   91.99% mean / 82.59% min  (-5.93pp)
- reflow-inimage:             98.95% mean / 96.42% min  (+1.04pp)

reflow-inimage wins on all 20/20 blocks vs reflow, and beats the
text-only baseline on 17/20 blocks. Three blocks hit 100%. The
-5.93pp reflow regression that the cell-pitch sweep partially
recovered disappears entirely when the instruction is co-rendered.

Mechanism: when system carries the instruction and the image
carries the content, the model does cross-modal binding to figure
out what the image is for. Co-rendering reduces it to a
single-modal task with an unambiguous parse rule.
