Subject: [PATCH] fix: require digit after Table/Figure prefix in caption
 detection
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Caption detection was incorrectly classifying "Table of Contents" as a
caption because it starts with "Table ". Now "Table" and "Figure"
prefixes require a digit, parenthesis, or hash after them — matching
actual captions like "Table 1", "Figure 3.2" but not titles.

Also removes debug logging left from previous iteration.

Benchmark improvement: MHS 0.52→0.54, overall 0.757→0.761.
