description	Build Go binaries for local development or release. Use when you need to compile the project, troubleshoot build failures, or understand the build pipeline.

Building Go Binaries

All commands run from the Go module root (installer/).

Local Development Build

task build

Builds a snapshot binary for the current platform via GoReleaser. Output goes to ./bin/. This is the only command you need for local builds.

How It Works

• Task wraps GoReleaser in snapshot mode (no git tag required, single target)
• GoReleaser config: .goreleaser.yaml
• Task runner config: Taskfile.yml
• Version info is injected via ldflags at build time (see main.go for the variables)

When Builds Fail

1. Check that go mod tidy has been run (GoReleaser runs it as a pre-hook in release mode)
2. Check for compilation errors in the go build output
3. For GoReleaser-specific issues, read .goreleaser.yaml for the current configuration
