All 4 child beads closed and verified. Acceptance criteria met:
- Two-column academic papers: XY-cut correctly orders left-col before right-col
- Magazine with sidebar: Docstrum separates main text from sidebar
- Single-column text: XY-cut produces single region, top-to-bottom ordering
- Tagged PDF: TAGGED_PDF_STRUCT_TREE_DEFERRED emitted, falls through to XY-cut
Test results: 27/27 reading order tests PASS.
Phase 4.5 Reading Order subsystem is fully functional with XY-cut preferred path,
Docstrum fallback for irregular layouts, and proper rank assignment.
