Sparrow OCR Table Query with Field Filtering

Sparrow now supports field filtering in table mode: instead of extracting every column, you query only the fields you need and Sparrow maps and type-coerces just those from the OCR'd table. In this video I run it on a financial table, using dots.ocr for table detection and a schema that pulls only instrument name, quantity, and valuation out of an eight-column table.

Testing Qwen3.8-27B on a Hard Pivot Table (No Column-Shift Errors)

Testing Qwen3.8-27B on a hard document extraction case: an insurance pivot table with row/column headers and aggregated values instead of a flat list. Same table from two prior tests, same generic "*" query, no schema. Result: no column-shift errors, every value landed in its correct column.
