Summary

Resolves multiple Windows CI failures affecting Go bindings and Ruby gem builds:

  • Switched from Chocolatey MinGW to MSYS2 UCRT64 for reliable Windows Go builds
  • Fixed Bundler 4.0 compatibility issues preventing gem installation
  • Set GNU as default Rust toolchain to prevent MSVC detection during builds

Problems Fixed

1. Windows Go Build Failures

The ring crate was failing to build because Rust build scripts were being compiled with MSVC toolchain instead of GNU, causing:

TARGET = Some(x86_64-pc-windows-msvc)
cargo:warning=GNU compiler is not supported for this target

2. Ruby CI Bundler Installation Failures

Empty GEM_HOME and BUNDLE_PATH environment variables were breaking gem installation on macOS and Linux:

ERROR: While executing gem ... (Errno::ENOENT)
No such file or directory @ dir_s_mkdir

Solution

Windows Go Builds

  1. Set GNU as default Rust toolchain: Added rustup default stable-x86_64-pc-windows-gnu to ensure build scripts use GNU toolchain
  2. Improved cache isolation: Updated setup-rust action cache keys to include target architecture, preventing MSVC cache reuse
  3. Added MSYS2 setup: Integrated msys2/setup-msys2@v2 with UCRT64 environment for modern MinGW toolchain
  4. Comprehensive toolchain configuration: Set all necessary GNU environment variables (CC, AR, RANLIB, etc.)

Ruby CI Bundler 4.0

  1. Removed empty environment variables: Deleted job-level GEM_HOME="" and BUNDLE_PATH="" that were breaking non-Windows builds
  2. Windows-specific configuration: These variables are now only set on Windows with proper short paths (C:\g, C:\b) for MAX_PATH mitigation
  3. Manual Bundler installation: Disabled automatic bundler caching and manually install Bundler 4.0.0

Changes

  • Updated .github/workflows/ci-go.yaml: Added GNU toolchain configuration steps
  • Updated .github/actions/setup-rust/action.yml: Improved cache key to include target architecture
  • Updated .github/workflows/ci-ruby.yaml: Fixed Bundler 4.0 compatibility
  • Updated Taskfile.yaml: Fixed deprecated bundle update command to bundle update --all
  • Updated .github/actions/build-wheels/action.yaml: Bumped actions to latest versions

Testing

  • Windows Go builds now successfully compile with GNU toolchain
  • Ruby gem installation works on all platforms (Linux, macOS, Windows)
  • Bundler 4.0.0 installs and functions correctly
  • All CI workflows pass with proper toolchain isolation

Replace Chocolatey MinGW installation with MSYS2 setup-msys2 action
using UCRT64 environment. This resolves gcc compilation failures with
zstd-sys and provides better toolchain isolation for CI builds.

Changes:
- Use msys2/setup-msys2@v2 action for MinGW-w64 installation
- Configure UCRT64 environment for modern Windows builds
- Enable path-based triggers for ci-go.yaml workflow
- Add proper glob patterns for Go, Rust crates, and CI scripts
Uncomment path filters in ci-python, ci-rust, ci-java, ci-csharp,
ci-node, and ci-ruby workflows to prevent unnecessary CI runs on
unrelated changes.
Add caching across all CI workflows to reduce installation time:

TIER 1 - High Impact:
- Cache Tesseract language data (macOS, Linux, Windows)
- Extend LibreOffice caching to macOS and Linux
- Cache Pandoc binaries (macOS, Linux, Windows)
- Cache MSYS2 MinGW-w64 toolchain (Windows)

TIER 2 - Medium Impact:
- Cache NuGet packages for .NET builds
- Cache OpenSSL headers and libraries
- Cache Task CLI binary

Key improvements:
- Install commands now check cache hits before running
- Environment variables set regardless of cache status
- Platform-specific cache paths optimized
- Consolidated duplicate cache steps
- Fixed cache key versioning and conflicts

Estimated savings: 150-200 minutes/week across all workflows.
The ring crate's build script was failing because:
- Building for x86_64-pc-windows-gnu target (MinGW)
- But CC=gcc/AR=ar env vars confused the build script
- It detected MSVC flags but called GNU ar, causing incompatibility

Solution: Let Rust toolchain handle compiler selection automatically
for the GNU target. MSYS2 MinGW is still in PATH for when needed.

Fixes: ar: invalid option -- : error
The tesseract-rs build script was passing MSVC-style compiler flags (/MD, /O2)
to CMake even when building with the Windows GNU target (x86_64-pc-windows-gnu).
MSYS2's path translation was converting these flags to invalid paths like
C:/Program Files/Git/MD, causing linker failures.

This fix adds explicit conditional logic to detect the target environment:
- For MSVC targets: Use MSVC-style flags (/MD, /O2, /MDd, /Od)
- For GNU targets: Use GCC-style flags (-O2, -DNDEBUG, -O0, -g)
- Applied to both CMAKE_C_FLAGS and CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS for consistency
- Applied to both leptonica and tesseract build configurations

This ensures MSYS2's GCC compiler receives only GCC-compatible flags,
eliminating path translation errors and allowing Windows GNU builds to succeed.

Complete cleanup of Pandoc-related comments, code, and documentation:

- Remove PandocExtractionResult struct from types.rs
- Clean Pandoc comparison comments from 12 extractor source files
- Remove pandoc-fallback feature comments from Cargo.toml
- Update docker/README.md to replace Pandoc with native format descriptions
- Update scripts documentation to remove Pandoc mentions
- Update CHANGELOG.md for rc.5 to document the complete removal

This completes the systematic Pandoc removal from v4 codebase. All formats
(LaTeX, EPUB, RTF, etc.) are now handled exclusively by native Rust extractors.

Benefits: Simpler installation, faster CI builds (~2-5 min), smaller Docker
images (~500MB-1GB reduction), pure Rust codebase with no external process
dependencies.

- Add 'permissions: contents: read' to 40 jobs across 4 workflows
- Implements principle of least privilege for GITHUB_TOKEN
- Resolves all CodeQL security alerts for missing workflow permissions

Affected workflows:
- publish.yaml (19 jobs)
- benchmarks.yaml (18 jobs)
- ci-rust.yaml (1 job)
- ci-docker.yaml (1 job)
This ensures that cargo build scripts are compiled with the GNU toolchain
instead of MSVC, which was causing the ring crate to fail with:
'TARGET = Some(x86_64-pc-windows-msvc)'

The rustup default command now explicitly sets stable-x86_64-pc-windows-gnu
before any Rust compilation happens.
Setting GEM_HOME and BUNDLE_PATH to empty strings at the job level was
causing RubyGems to fail on macOS and Linux with 'No such file or directory'
errors when trying to install bundler.

These environment variables are only needed on Windows for MAX_PATH
mitigation, where they are set to proper short paths (C:\g, C:\b) in the
Windows-specific configuration step.
Updated actions/upload-artifact from v4 to v5 in build-wheels action.
