Closes #315
This PR adds a privacy-scrubbing step to the PDF generation pipeline. It ensures that hidden information from the original template (like the Author's name or the software used to create the form) is removed before the final report is saved.
Why is this needed?
Emergency incident reports are legal documents. Leaving a developer's name or "Google Docs Renderer" in the internal metadata is unprofessional and can be a privacy risk. This change makes every output PDF anonymous and standardized.
