Text PDFs already get it from pdftotext; photos and scans have no text,
so 4 of 5 undated POs were photos that do print a PO Creation Date.
- n8n PO reader (stored patch): asked for order_date = 'PO Creation
Date' (day/month/year), never Required By or Printed; the callback
passes it on.
- process-batch accepts extracted.order_date (YYYY-MM-DD); the PDF text
wins when both exist.
- create_purchase_order / update_purchase_order / move_to_purchase_orders
take order_date, so agents record it too.
