Add a new .monospace CaptureOutputPreset that uses OCR block boundingBox positions to produce monospace-aligned text: - y-clustering groups blocks into lines - x-sorting orders blocks within each line - x-differences convert to spaces to preserve horizontal position - y-differences convert to blank lines using median line height Interface changes: - CaptureOutputFormatter.format() / clipboardPayload() accept optional OCRResult parameter - CaptureOutputWriter.copyCapturedText accepts optional OCRResult - CaptureCoordinator protocol and implementations pass OCRResult through - Main capture flow and watch mode pass the actual OCRResult - History repaste / menu bar / table review pass nil (no block data) UI: - Monospace appears automatically in output preset menus (allCases) - Menu bar icon: textformat - Localized titles in Turkish and English Tests: - OCRResultTests: 8 new tests covering horizontal alignment, multi-line, blank line insertion, empty/single block, x-sorting, explicit columns - CaptureOutputFormatterTests: 2 new tests for monospace preset with and without OCRResult
Replace the standalone .monospace output preset with a toggle-based feature. When enabled, the capture pipeline uses OCR block boundingBox positions to produce monospace-aligned text that preserves horizontal and vertical layout. Algorithm (ported from ocr-layout.swift): - Fixed-column horizontal alignment: col = Int(x * columns), pad to col - y-clustering into rows (threshold 0.02) - Median row height for blank line estimation - Vertical gaps convert to blank lines (capped at 6) Changes: - AppModels: MonospaceLayoutSettings struct + UserDefaults store (isEnabled Bool, columns Int default 120, clamped 20-300) - AppState: @published monospaceLayoutSettings, setters, persist - OCRResult: monospaceAlignedText(columns:) using fixed-column algorithm - CaptureCoordinator: resolvedRawText(for:) applies monospace when toggle ON; works for both normal capture and watch mode - Settings UI: Toggle + column slider (40-200) in General tab, under Output Format section - Tests: 9 new OCRResultTests covering horizontal position, multi-line, blank lines, empty/single block, x-sorting, explicit columns, clamping No changes to CaptureOutputFormatter/CaptureOutputWriter interfaces — the toggle is applied at the coordinator level before text reaches the formatter, so it composes with any existing output preset.

Summary
Adds a Monospace Layout toggle that preserves the exact horizontal and vertical positions of OCR text blocks using space padding. When enabled, captured text is rendered as monospace-aligned output — ideal for terminal screenshots, table layouts, and any UI where spatial alignment matters.
This is implemented as a toggle (Settings → General → Monospace Layout), not a separate output preset, so it composes with any existing output format.
How it works
The algorithm uses each OCR block's normalized boundingBox:
col = Int(x * columns)), with space padding to reach that columnDefault column count is 120, adjustable via a slider (40–200).

col = Int(x * columns)) produces more predictable alignment than estimating per-character width from block sizes. The column count is user-adjustable.Testing
