          Text extraction throws away layout, tables, figures, and styling —
          the very signals that make a page legible. PixelRAG embeds a{" "}
          <span className="text-foreground">screenshot of the page</span> instead,
          so a single vision model retrieves across text and visual content
          alike. No OCR, no parsing, no lossy chunking.
