Field detection read only vector data: text-layer words and drawn
rectangles and lines. A scanned form is a single picture, so it found
nothing there.
A page that an image covers at least half of, and whose content draws
no lines, is now rendered at 144 dpi and its shapes are read from the
pixels (pdfcraft_forms::detect::raster): ink against a local mean,
long thin runs as lines, enclosed rectangular patches of paper as
boxes, the empty band of a box with a small printed label as its
writing area, and the open-ended horizontal lines as rules. Labels come
from the text layer, else from OCR when the models are installed;
without either the fields get default names. Detection works in the
displayed frame, so a scan stored sideways reads like any other, and
fields on a turned page get /MK /R so typing reads upright.

The app, crates, binaries, bundle id, packaging, icons, screenshots and docs are now
PdfCraft / pdfcraft (repo storytold/pdfcraft). On first launch the desktop app moves the
PrintCraft settings and crash-recovery folders to the new name, and both apps read settings
saved under the old storage key, so upgrades keep recent files, preferences and unsaved work.
The signing test fixtures keep their PrintCraft subject names (they are binary).
