Security Notes
On macOS and Windows, the server uses 'os/exec' to invoke the external Tesseract CLI for OCR. While Go's 'exec.Command' passes arguments directly to the executable (mitigating shell injection), there's a dependency on a correctly installed and non-vulnerable Tesseract. Maliciously crafted image paths or language codes *could* potentially exploit vulnerabilities within Tesseract itself, though direct command injection is unlikely. Docker deployments use read-only volume mounts, which is a good practice for limiting write access to the host. Linux builds integrate Tesseract natively (CGO), which is safer.
