Subject: [PATCH] perf: pass verbose=False to YOLO predictions to reduce stdout
 overhead

Ultralytics YOLO models log predictions to stdout on every call by default.
In a loop processing multiple pages, this synchronous logging blocks the main thread
and introduces significant unnecessary performance overhead.

This commit explicitly sets verbose=False for all model.predict() calls in inference.py.

+## 2026-04-18 - Ultralytics YOLO verbose Output Overhead
+**Learning:** By default, Ultralytics YOLO models log predictions to stdout on every call. In a loop processing multiple pages, synchronous logging blocks the main thread, introducing significant unneeded performance overhead.
+**Action:** Always pass `verbose=False` to `model.predict()` when running inference in loops or batch processes unless active debugging is needed.
