description	Build and install asylum for the host platform from the current source tree. Use when the user wants to test local changes.
disable-model-invocation	true

Build asylum from the current source and install it to the host's ~/.asylum/bin/.

Steps

1. Detect the host platform

   Detect the host OS and architecture:

   • Check /proc/version for "linuxkit" — if present, host is darwin, otherwise linux
   • Run uname -m — map aarch64/arm64 to arm64, x86_64/amd64 to amd64

2. Get the current commit

   Run git rev-parse --short HEAD to get the commit hash.

3. Build the binary

   Cross-compile for the host platform:

   GOOS=<os> GOARCH=<arch> go build -ldflags "-X main.version=local -X main.commit=<commit>" -o build/asylum ./cmd/asylum
   

4. Install

   Copy the binary to ~/.asylum/bin/asylum:

   cp build/asylum ~/.asylum/bin/asylum
   

   The host's install script already set up the symlink from /usr/local/bin/asylum to ~/.asylum/bin/asylum, so no symlink management needed.

5. Verify

   Run ~/.asylum/bin/asylum --version to confirm the build.

6. Report

   Show the version string and confirm installation.
