Subject: [PATCH] ci: let tesseract binarise the normalised OCR image

In run 38711351160 the normalised image had no rings and showed the button labels, grey and dark text all dark on white, but the fixed 80% threshold turned every pixel with over 20% contrast black, so letters merged into blobs ("Be free" read as "Be tires"). With the background now uniformly white, tesseract's own threshold separates the text, so the image goes to it in grayscale.
