🎯 Key Features Implemented

1. Complete JavaScript API

const scipix = await createScipix();
const result = await scipix.recognize(imageData);
console.log(result.text, result.latex);

2. Multiple Input Formats

• Raw bytes (Uint8Array)
• HTMLCanvasElement
• Base64 strings
• ImageData objects

3. Web Worker Support

const worker = createWorker();
const result = await worker.recognize(imageData);
worker.terminate();

4. Batch Processing

const results = await scipix.recognizeBatch(images);

5. Configuration

scipix.setFormat('both');  // text, latex, or both
scipix.setConfidenceThreshold(0.5);

6. Memory Management

• Efficient buffer allocation
• Memory pooling
• Automatic cleanup
• SharedImageBuffer for large images

7. TypeScript Support

Full type definitions included for excellent IDE support.

📊 Bundle Size Optimization

Target: <2MB compressed

Optimizations applied:

• opt-level = "z" - Optimize for size
• lto = true - Link-time optimization
• codegen-units = 1 - Better optimization
• strip = true - Remove debug symbols
• panic = "abort" - Smaller panic handler
• wee_alloc - Custom allocator for WASM
