Summary:
Create a new tool separate from Illuminator (or part of it) to attempt automatic table correction.
The tool would aim to fix merged cells, broken headers, or otherwise malformed tables post-conversion based on a standard table structure.

Initial Exploration Topics:

• Investigate using GPT or Claude for intelligent table fixes.

• Explore Docling MCP, JSON editing tools, or VLMs for automatic repair.

• Define a "good table standard" (e.g., no merged headers, clear one-to-one cell mappings).

Acceptance Criteria:

• Write a design document describing possible architectural approaches.

• Identify preferred approach with pros/cons.

• Create an initial prototype that can fix simple merged cell problems.
