+### Background mode (flat vs complex)

+The `/remove-background` `background_mode` form field selects the pipeline:
+
+- `flat` (**default**, also when omitted): the colour-keyed pipeline for a solid
+  flat background — unchanged behaviour.
+- `complex`: non-flat / scene background. No colour key: segmentation alone drives
+  the trimap and the colour-keyed stages (background auto-detect, hue split, chroma
+  suppression, despill) are bypassed. `screen_color` is ignored; expect flat
+  backgrounds to stay stronger on hair-level detail.
+
+No extra weights: `complex` reuses the already-provisioned BiRefNet segmenter +
+ViTMatte. The cross-check veto still works in `complex` (via a hue-free gate) but
+**defaults off** there — pass `cross_check=on` to enable it. The response echoes the
+mode used in the `X-BGFilter-Background-Mode: flat|complex` header. Full field/header
+reference is in `README.md` → *HTTP service*.
