Descripción

### Describe the feature

### Feature

Add a local, privacy-preserving Optical Character Recognition (OCR) feature that allows users to extract text from photos and copy it directly to their clipboard.


### Proposed Implementation & Architecture
#### 1. Backend (On-Device Inference via ONNX)
- **Model**: Integrate a lightweight, offline ONNX OCR model .
- Register the model under a new or optional feature tier so users can manage/download it locally.
- Implement a dedicated model class extending `ONNXSessionBase` for thread-safe inference.
- Index extracted text in SQLite so users can search their photo library by text found inside images.

#### 2. Frontend (Viewer & UX)
- **Viewer Action**: Add a "Scan Text" icon button .
- **Extraction Flow**:
- Triggering the action shows a subtle loading state while inference runs.
- A modal dialog displays the recognized text with line formatting preserved.
- A primary **"Copy to Clipboard"** button with immediate feedback (e.g. "Copied!").
- Handles cases where no text was found.
- Prompts the user to download/enable the OCR model from Settings if not yet installed.

Línea de trabajo

Start by locating the viewer action, ONNXSessionBase, model registration and feature-tier settings, and SQLite indexing paths. Review how the viewer should handle loading, modal text display, no-text results, clipboard feedback, and an unavailable model. Done means offline OCR extracts selectable text, supports copying, and indexes it for photo-library search.
