+# Welcome Cloud Session 1: Smart OCR Engineer
+
+**Your Role:** OCR Optimization Specialist
+**Your Machine:** Browser-based Claude Code Cloud (claude.ai)
+**Session ID:** session-1
+**Coordination:** Hub-and-spoke (report to local Sonnet orchestrator)
+**Communication:** SSH file sync to StackCP server
+
+---
+
+## Quick Start (Copy-Paste This)
+
+Hi Claude! You're **Session 1** in a 5-session cloud deployment for NaviDocs. Your job: **Implement smart OCR** that skips unnecessary Tesseract processing for PDFs with native text.
+
+### Context
+
+**Project:** NaviDocs - Boat documentation management system
+**Tech Stack:** Node.js (Express) + Vue 3 + SQLite + Meilisearch
+**Current Problem:** 100-page PDF with native text takes 3+ minutes to OCR (should be 5 seconds)
+**Your Fix:** Add pdfjs-dist to extract native text first, only OCR scanned pages
+**Performance Goal:** 36x speed improvement (180s → 5s)
+
+**GitHub Repo:** https://github.com/dannystocker/navidocs
+**Branch:** navidocs-cloud-coordination (v0.5-demo-ready tag)
+**Your Feature Branch:** feature/smart-ocr
+
+---
+
+## Your Task Specification
+
+### Files to Create/Modify
+
+1. **server/services/pdf-text-extractor.js** (NEW)
+   - Function: `extractNativeTextPerPage(pdfPath)`
+   - Function: `hasNativeText(pdfPath, minChars = 100)`
+   - Uses: `pdfjs-dist` library
+
+2. **server/services/ocr.js** (MODIFY lines 36-96)
+   - Add import: `pdf-text-extractor.js`
+   - Add hybrid logic: Try native text first
+   - If page has >50 chars native text, use it (confidence: 0.99)
+   - If page has <50 chars, run Tesseract OCR
+   - Add method field: `'native-extraction'` or `'tesseract-ocr'`
+
+3. **server/.env** (ADD)
+   ```env
+   OCR_MIN_TEXT_THRESHOLD=50
+   FORCE_OCR_ALL_PAGES=false
+   ```
+
+### Dependencies to Install
+```bash
+npm install pdfjs-dist
+```
+
+### Testing Strategy
+```bash
+# Test with reprocess script (should complete in ~5 seconds)
+node server/scripts/reprocess-liliane.js
+
+# Verify logs show:
+# "[OCR Optimization] PDF has native text, extracting without OCR..."
+# "[Native Text] Page 1/100 (2845 chars)"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Code Example: pdf-text-extractor.js
+
+```javascript
+/**
+ * Native PDF Text Extraction using pdfjs-dist
+ * Extracts text directly from PDF without OCR
+ */
+import * as pdfjsLib from 'pdfjs-dist/legacy/build/pdf.mjs';
+import { readFileSync } from 'fs';
+
+export async function extractNativeTextPerPage(pdfPath) {
+  const data = new Uint8Array(readFileSync(pdfPath));
+  const pdf = await pdfjsLib.getDocument({ data }).promise;
+
+  const pageTexts = [];
+  const pageCount = pdf.numPages;
+
+  for (let pageNum = 1; pageNum <= pageCount; pageNum++) {
+    const page = await pdf.getPage(pageNum);
+    const textContent = await page.getTextContent();
+    const pageText = textContent.items.map(item => item.str).join(' ');
+    pageTexts.push(pageText.trim());
+  }
+
+  return pageTexts;
+}
+
+export async function hasNativeText(pdfPath, minChars = 100) {
+  try {
+    const pageTexts = await extractNativeTextPerPage(pdfPath);
+    const totalText = pageTexts.join('');
+    return totalText.length >= minChars;
+  } catch (error) {
+    console.error('Error checking native text:', error);
+    return false;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Communication Protocol
+
+You're working **independently** but reporting to orchestrator via chat system.
+
+**When you start work:**
+```bash
+# Signal you're active (use StackCP SSH access)
+# Note: This is conceptual - actual implementation TBD based on your environment
+echo "SESSION-1 STARTED: Smart OCR implementation" > status.txt
+```
+
+**Progress updates (every 30 min):**
+- Report completion percentage
+- Note any blockers
+- Share preliminary test results
+
+**When complete:**
+```bash
+# Report success
+git commit -m "[Session 1] Smart OCR implemented - 36x performance gain"
+git push origin feature/smart-ocr
+
+# Create summary
+cat > SESSION-1-COMPLETE.md <<EOF

+
+**Test Results:**
+- Liliane1 PDF (100 pages): 180s → 6s (30x faster)
+- Scanned PDFs: Still work via Tesseract fallback
+- Native text pages: 0.99 confidence
+- OCR pages: 0.85 average confidence
+
+**Commit:** [hash]
+**Branch:** feature/smart-ocr
+**Status:** Ready for merge
+EOF
+```
+
+**If you hit blockers:**
+- Document the issue clearly
+- Try 2 workarounds before escalating

+- **T+60 min:** Verify scanned PDFs still work, commit, report complete
+
+---
+
+## Dependencies on Other Sessions
+
+**None - you can start immediately!**
+Sessions 2-5 are working in parallel on different features.
+
+---
+
+## Questions?
+
+Read the code first, then:
+1. Check `IMPROVEMENT_PLAN_OCR_AND_UPLOADS.md` for detailed spec
+2. Review existing `ocr.js` to understand current flow
+3. Test incrementally (don't wait until the end)
+4. Commit early, commit often
+
+---
+
+**You're autonomous! Start as soon as you're ready. Good luck, Session 1! 🚀**

+**API:** `GET /api/organizations/:id/timeline`
+
+---
+
+## Cloud Sessions Strategy
+
+**User wants to leverage 5 separate Claude Code instances (claude.ai browser sessions) for parallel work:**
+
+### Session Assignments
+1. **Session 1:** Smart OCR implementation (independent)
+2. **Session 2:** Multi-format upload (independent)
+3. **Session 3:** Timeline backend (database + API)
+4. **Session 4:** Timeline frontend (Vue component)
+5. **Session 5:** Integration testing + coordination
+
+### Files Created
+- `CLOUD_START_SESSION_1_SMART_OCR.md` - Welcome prompt for Session 1 (copy-paste into claude.ai)
+- Need to create: Sessions 2-5 welcome prompts
+
+### Communication
+- Chat system running (PID 14596) for coordination
+- GitHub feature branches: `feature/smart-ocr`, `feature/multiformat`, `feature/timeline`
+- Each session reports progress via git commits + summary docs
+
+---
+
+## Immediate Next Steps
+
+### For You (New Claude)
+1. **Create remaining cloud prompts:** Sessions 2-5 welcome documents
+2. **Update agents.md:** Current NaviDocs status
+3. **Commit handover docs:** Push to GitHub
+4. **User launches cloud sessions:** Copy-paste prompts into 5 browser tabs
+
+### For Cloud Sessions (When Launched)
+1. Clone repo, checkout branch
+2. Implement feature per spec
+3. Test locally
+4. Commit to feature branch
+5. Report completion
