Each section shows one table with flagged decisions: the table as printed, the extraction output with the flagged cells highlighted — red where the page contradicts the output (defect), gold where the output could not be verified against the page (unverified), green where the extraction added a conventional label the page does not print (total_label_added / header_label_added) — and the reasoning recorded for each. Printed text that reached no output cell is listed as 'header_text_dropped'.
