The gateway fix worked — the OCR request reached the pod, which booted, took it,
and answered 'OCR subsystem is disabled (enable it in Settings → OCR)'. That is
the right default for a fresh install and the wrong one for a machine that
exists for the next four minutes and was rented specifically to do OCR.

An ocr-capability pod now gets CODERAI_OCR_ENABLED, the engine it was asked for,
and — when that engine is surya, or this deployment has already accepted it —
the licence acknowledgement, because surya is GPL-gated and a pod cannot make
that decision for itself. Asking for surya by name is the decision.

Env only, never written to config.json: like the seed list, this describes one
disposable instance, not a deployment. A test asserts it cannot leak to disk.
