+-- Intake router (plans/intake-router-slice-plan.md §11 C1, smarthome repo).
+--
+-- One upload point for receipts — a screenshot, a PDF export, a pasted body —
+-- that reads what it was given and does every step that applies: fill the
+-- empty `line_items` on the order the email pipeline already booked, hand a
+-- grocery receipt to pantry, or ask when it cannot tell.
+--
+-- Every batch is persisted BEFORE anything is extracted, for two reasons:
+--   1. The Slack card it produces carries buttons ("Use this", "Create",
+--      "Groceries or a meal?") that are pressed minutes later in a fresh
+--      request with nothing but the batch id to go on.
+--   2. A re-share of an already-handled order — a second crop, the PDF after
+--      the screenshot — must be recognised, and the only durable evidence of
+--      the first share is this row (`file_sha256` overlap, or the same
+--      (platform, merchant, date, total) header already resolved).
+--
+-- `id` is the uuid n8n mints per webhook call, so a retried delivery is the
+-- same batch rather than a second one. `header` holds the extracted
+-- (merchant, order_date, total, platform, ...) and `items` the verbatim item
+-- list, so a later tap can enrich or create without re-reading the files.
+--
+-- Idempotent: safe to re-run.
