Bug Fixes

Windows zero-dependency fix — On a fresh Windows PC, tcl86t.dll failed to load because its dependency zlib1.dll (bundled in windows/bin/) wasn't in PATH. The bundled directory is now added to PATH before FFI loads, mirroring how Linux (LD_LIBRARY_PATH) and macOS (DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH) were already handled.

Widgets whose create() was never called — Frame, Entry, Combobox, and Menubutton were missing __construct, so their Tcl
widgets were silently never created.

Entry getValue/setValue didn't work — Was missing -textvariable, so get/set operated on an unlinked Tcl variable instead of the
widget.

Combobox failed on Windows — package require ttk fails on Tcl 8.5+ because ttk is built into Tk. Removed the redundant call.

Menu::destroy() was a no-op — Menu creates at .{$id} but inherited destroy tried .{$parent}.{$id}. Added a proper override.

Testing

• tests/TestRunner.php — New assertion framework. Tests now exit code 1 on failure so CI catches regressions.
• CanvasTest.php — New: covers all drawing methods
• CheckbuttonTest.php — New: covers state management and callbacks
• All 10 existing tests rewritten with real assertions + winfo exists Tcl verification
• TopLevelWidgetTest rewritten without interactive dialogs (CI-safe)
• CI runs all 13 tests on Linux, macOS, and Windows

113 assertions passing across 13 test files on all three platforms.
