Each release ships five archives, for Linux on Intel and ARM, macOS on Apple silicon and Intel, and Windows, plus a <code>SHA256SUMS</code> file. A release workflow builds them in a matrix of jobs and a final job uploads everything.</p> <p>One day a refactor of the workflow moves the build output into a shared folder. The Linux ARM job now packs whatever <code>tidy</code> binary is in that folder, and on the runner where it lands, that&rsquo;s the Intel build. Meanwhile the Intel Mac job hits a cache from the previous release and doesn&rsquo;t rebuild. Every job is green. The archives have the right names and plausible sizes.</p>
