Problem
PaddleOCR requires libGL.so.1 (OpenGL) which is absent in the python:3.11-slim base image, causing a fatal import error on startup: "libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory". This prevents the router from loading entirely.
Solution
Removed paddleocr>=2.7.0.3 from backend/requirements.txt and changed the default ocr_engine in backend/app/config.py from "paddleocr" to "tesseract". Tesseract is already listed as a dependency and works correctly in headless environments. PaddleOCR remains a valid config option for users who install it separately with the required system libraries.
