Removes the single-command Python packaging method (build/make_release.py + build/build_portable_zip.py + build/macos/build_zip.sh) and the portable .zip artifacts it produced. Release builds go back to the original GitHub Actions process: the CI matrix builds one installer per platform (.dmg / .exe / .AppImage) on tag push and attaches them to a GitHub Release. Tesseract OCR bundling is preserved: the fetch helpers the workflow depends on (fetch_tessdata, fetch_tesseract_for_platform) are extracted into a standalone build/tesseract.py, which build.yml now imports. Docs (README, build/README, DEVELOPER, TECHNICAL, USER-GUIDE, vendor README, es translations) updated to drop the portable-zip flavor and point at the new module.
