⚡ Bolt: Disable YOLO verbose mode to improve inference performance

[kingkillery]

💡 What: Added verbose=False to YOLO model .predict() calls in commonforms/inference.py.
🎯 Why: Ultralytics YOLO models write synchronously to stdout during predictions. When processing documents with multiple pages in a loop, this synchronous I/O blocks the main thread and introduces unnecessary overhead, slowing down the overall inference process.
📊 Impact: Reduces synchronous stdout blocking overhead, leading to faster inference times, especially for multi-page documents.
🔬 Measurement: Verify by running inference on a multi-page PDF document and comparing the execution time before and after this change. The pytest test suite can also be used to confirm that the change doesn't alter the functional behavior.

Walkthrough

Added documentation about YOLO's synchronous stdout overhead and applied a performance optimization by passing verbose=False to model predictions in the inference module across both ONNX and non-ONNX detection paths.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Documentation .jules/bolt.md	New Markdown note documenting YOLO's synchronous stdout blocking overhead and recommending verbose=False for looped/production inference usage.
Inference Optimization commonforms/inference.py	Added verbose=False parameter to self.model.predict() calls in both ONNX and non-ONNX detection branches to suppress verbose stdout output during predictions.

Poem

🐰 Verbose output slowed our flow,
So with verbose=False we go,
YOLO now runs without the chatter,
Prediction speed is all that matters! 🚀
