Description
Serve keeps `"text": ""` on formula items (`do_formula_enrichment=false`). The Java `DoclingDocument` still has text as `""`, but serialization drops it:
```java
DoclingDocument doc = response.getDocument().getJsonContent();
// doc still has text == ""
byte[] bytes = jsonMapper.writeValueAsBytes(doc); // "text" omitted in JSON
```
`Include.ALWAYS` on the mapper does not help — class-level `@JsonInclude(NON_EMPTY)` wins. No raw `json_content` accessor either.
Wanted: lossless serialize, or `raw json_content` `bytes`/`JsonNode`.
