mth5.utils.build_standalone_validator

Builds a lightweight executable (~20-30 MB) that only depends on h5py.

Much smaller and simpler than the full mth5-based validator because: - No scipy/numpy/obspy dependencies - No matplotlib/pandas dependencies - No mth5 I/O stack - Just h5py + standard library

Usage:

python build_standalone_validator.py

Output:

dist/mth5-validator.exe (Windows) - ~20-30 MB dist/mth5-validator (Linux/Mac)
