Benchmarked fast-alpr's four fast-plate-ocr models via the full pipeline on real AL plates (AA558EE, AA687KE), CPU. All four read both correctly; the default cct-xs-v2-global-model wins on confidence (0.999/1.000) AND speed (33-39ms) and returns region=Albania. The "European 40+country" model is WORSE here (~0.77 confidence, one synthetic misread) — overturning the "EU model better for AL" assumption from the prior research. Decision: no config change. Resolves the AL-accuracy-benchmark open item (results table + finding added to opencv-anpr-service); weight-provenance remains the one open recognizer item. Re-benchmark on real on-site captures once cameras installed. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Xcm6ikLgGoCxxHrxtjkk5V
