"""
hook_path.py — PyInstaller runtime hook for Website Checker.

Executed by the PyInstaller bootloader before any Python code runs.
Prepends the bundle's _internal/ directory (where python3xx.dll lives)
to the Windows PATH so that LoadLibrary() can find the VC++ runtime DLLs
(vcruntime140.dll, msvcp140.dll, etc.) that python3xx.dll depends on.

This resolves the error:
  "Failed to load Python DLL ... python3xx.dll.
   LoadLibrary: The specified module could not be found."

Without this hook the DLL is present in the bundle but Windows cannot
satisfy its own import chain because the VC++ DLLs are not on PATH.
