-//! Post-processing pipeline orchestration.

-//! This module orchestrates the post-processing pipeline, executing validators,
-//! quality processing, chunking, and custom hooks in the correct order.

-/// Run the post-processing pipeline on an extraction result.
-///
-/// Executes post-processing in the following order:
-/// 1. Post-Processors - Execute by stage (Early, Middle, Late) to modify/enhance the result
-/// 2. Quality Processing - Text cleaning and quality scoring
-/// 3. Chunking - Text splitting if enabled
-/// 4. Validators - Run validation hooks on the processed result (can fail fast)
-///
-/// # Arguments
-///
-/// * `result` - The extraction result to process
-/// * `config` - Extraction configuration
-///
-/// # Returns
-///
-/// The processed extraction result.
-///
-/// # Errors
-///
-/// - Validator errors bubble up immediately
-/// - Post-processor errors are caught and recorded in metadata
-/// - System errors (IO, RuntimeError equivalents) always bubble up
