Claude Vision via ai-gateway's claude-code OAuth provider runs ~140s per
rendered page (a 3-page report measured at 417s), which blows past any safe
synchronous HTTP timeout — the EspoCRM controller's 240s curl gave up with
"0 bytes received" while ai-gateway kept working.
parse-pdf-report now accepts ?mode=async: it returns {jobId, status:"pending"}
immediately and runs the parse in the background, persisting the result/error
to a file-based job store under /opt/data (survives multi-worker + restarts).
Poll GET /parse-pdf-report/jobs/{jobId}. Default sync mode is unchanged so
n8n and other server-side callers keep working.
