    than the standard ``OCR_COLUMN_GUTTER_MIN_FRACTION`` β€” so narrow sub-column gutters
    (e.g. a 1.9 % gap on a two-page spread) are detected in addition to the wide
    macro-column gutter that triggered column mode.

    Each returned pair is ``(split_x, y_min)`` where *split_x* is placed in the
    narrowest actual gap between the two columns (see below) and *y_min* is the topmost
    row in the qualifying cluster.  Callers **must** apply each split only to boxes
    whose ``top >= y_min``; this prevents a narrow sub-column gutter from mis-splitting
    full-width content that sits above the two-column section.

    Algorithm
    ---------
    1. Scan every text row for horizontal gaps β‰₯ subgutter_min.  Record all
       ``(row_top, right_edge, next_left_edge)`` triples (one per gap per row).
    2. Cluster by per-row midpoint ``(right + next_left) / 2`` (tolerance 6 % of page
       width) so that entries from the same physical column boundary are grouped together.
    3. Within each x-cluster, find the longest run of consecutive row-top values
       (gap ≀ ``max_consecutive_gutter_gap * page_height``).  If the run is long enough
       (β‰₯ ``min_gutter_rows``) and starts above the footer zone, compute
       ``split_x = (max_right_in_run + min_next_left_in_run) / 2``.  This "stable
       midpoint" sits in the narrowest guaranteed gap between the two columns, so it is
       correct for both word-level boxes (where per-row midpoints are consistent) and
       line-level boxes (where a short left-column line gives a very different midpoint
       than a long one, but the right-column left edge stays constant).
    4. Return all qualifying pairs sorted by split_x (left-to-right).
