Make the standalone exe work with OCR out of the box — no separate
Tesseract install, no tesserocr DLL hell. Verified end-to-end: built the
exe, ran it frozen with the system Tesseract blinded, confirmed it
resolves the bundled binary and reads text ("CHAM RUNE").
- ocr.py: resolve an _APP_BASE (exe dir when frozen, else cwd) and prefer
a bundled <exe_dir>/tesseract/tesseract.exe over PATH / Program Files.
Resolve assets/tessdata to an absolute path so OCR no longer depends on
the current working dir. Applies to both the tesserocr and pytesseract
paths.
- build.py: copy a portable Tesseract (exe + DLLs) from TESSERACT_DIR
(default C:\Program Files\Tesseract-OCR) into <release>/tesseract/. Our
trained models in assets/tessdata are used via --tessdata-dir, so their
tessdata is skipped. Warns (non-fatal) if Tesseract isn't present.
- ci.yml: choco install tesseract before the build so the bundle is
reproducible on the runner; verify it landed in the release dir.
- test/conftest.py: apply the SSL cert-store workaround so pytest can be
collected on Windows boxes with a corrupted cert store (no-op on CI).
