+-- 78. exam_questions.command_word + preamble — richer recognition carried by the analyse contract v2 (WS-2)
+--==========================================================================================
+-- The extraction service (docling-exam-spike analyse.py v2, scripts/ANALYSE-CONTRACT.md) now carries two
+-- fields the thin v1 bridge dropped:
+--   * command_word — the primary command verb per part (calculate / explain / suggest / describe …), from
+--     structure.command_words / part_info.primary. Drives the question-tree command pill + future filtering.
+--   * preamble    — the stem prose that introduces a question/part (structure.preamble_by_label), as a
+--     jsonb sidecar {n, text:[…lines], nontext:[{kind,cls,page}], bands:[{page,y0,y1}]}. Kept as jsonb (not
+--     a column per line) so the tree/doc view can show the stem and the canvas can locate its band. The
+--     preamble band is ALSO emitted as a drawable context region (context_type='preamble'); this column is
+--     the authoritative text for the outline view.
+-- Both nullable; containers/parts without a detected command/preamble stay null. Additive + idempotent.
