How It Works

1. postinstall — detects your platform (darwin, linux, win32) and arch (x64, arm64)
2. Builds the correct GitHub release URL and downloads the binary into vendor/bin/
3. The lovelang bin script forwards CLI args to the downloaded binary
4. If the binary is missing at runtime, it is fetched automatically before executing

Supported Platforms

| Platform | Arch | |---|---| | macOS | arm64, x64 | | Linux | arm64, x64 | | Windows | arm64, x64 |

Binary names follow the pattern: lovelang-<platform>-<arch>[.exe]
