🔄 Migration Path

If you have existing code using the old API:

Old Endpoint (Linux-only)

POST /api/ocr
{
  file: PDF,
  language: "eng",
  force: true,
  deskew: true
}

New Endpoint (Cross-platform)

POST /api/simple-ocr
{
  file: PDF,
  language: "eng",
  deskew: true,
  enhanceContrast: true,
  removeNoise: true
}

See MIGRATION_GUIDE.md for complete migration instructions.

📝 CI/CD Pipeline

The new GitHub Actions workflow automatically:

On Every Push/PR:

  1. ✅ Runs ESLint and type checking
  2. ✅ Runs test suite with coverage
  3. ✅ Builds the application
  4. ✅ Uploads build artifacts

On Push to Main:

  1. ✅ Deploys to Vercel production
  2. ✅ Runs health checks
  3. ✅ Comments deployment URL

On Pull Requests:

  1. ✅ Deploys preview to Vercel
  2. ✅ Comments preview URL

Result: Fully automated quality checks and deployment!
