+-- 76. exam_templates.extraction_meta — trust signal + provenance from the extraction service (P3)
+--==========================================================================================
+-- Records, per template, how the recognition was produced and whether it reconciled: the audit
+-- cover-total gate (cover_total vs detected_total, status, anomaly), the engine + slug used, and
+-- region counts. Lets the setup UI show "extraction: cover 100 = detected 100 ✓" (or flag an under-read),
+-- and lets the digital-text view resolve the paper's replica by slug. Nullable, defaults to {}.
+alter table public.exam_templates add column if not exists extraction_meta jsonb not null default '{}'::jsonb;
