Based on SOC occupation classification
Prepare a new version of the liboqs package for publication to pub.dev. Use when user wants to release, publish, or tag a new version of the package.
Update liboqs native library version. Use when checking for updates, upgrading liboqs, bumping version, or updating native dependencies.
Add new cryptographic API to liboqs_dart. Use when implementing new KEM algorithms, signature schemes, adding new cryptographic features, or extending the library API.
Dart FFI patterns and best practices for this project. Use when writing FFI code, working with native memory, creating wrappers, or implementing new native bindings.
Review Dart FFI code for security issues in cryptographic contexts. Use when reviewing code changes, checking for memory leaks, verifying secure memory handling, or auditing cryptographic code.

Help with building liboqs native libraries for all supported platforms.
ALWAYS use Makefile commands. Never call scripts directly.
# CORRECT
make build ARGS="macos"
# WRONG - never do this
fvm dart run scripts/build.dart macos
