v1.15.2 - bundle the spell-line table into the .exe

Download

EQLCompanion.exe — one file, ~42 MB, nothing to install. A .sha256 is published beside it.

Windows will warn you it does not recognise the publisher (the file is unsigned): More info → Run anyway. Install guide.

If you took v1.15.1, please replace it — the buff-stacking check it advertised was silently inactive in that .exe. Your data folder is untouched.

Fixes v1.15.1's headline feature in the build most people actually download.

• The spell-line table was never bundled into the .exe. PyInstaller's
  --collect-submodules gathers Python modules; a .json sitting beside
  them is not code and has to be declared. So backend/spell_lines.json was
  missing from the packaged build, and because a missing data file fails
  soft by design, the buff-slot stacking gate silently did nothing there.
  Source installs were unaffected. Now declared in both build_exe.bat and
  the release workflow.
• The release build now asserts its own data arrived. The smoke test
  already proved the exe boots; it now also checks the spell-line count is
  non-zero, so a bundled file that goes missing fails the build instead of
  shipping a feature that quietly does nothing. GET /api/settings reports
  the counts under data.
• Corrected the download size in the docs: a clean-runner build is ~42 MB,
  not the ~59 MB a developer machine produced.
