 The standard build target is x86_64 MSVC. The optional gnullvm build uses LLVM-MinGW UCRT and currently needs `libunwind.dll` alongside both executables. Packaging is a separate operation on already-built inputs; it neither builds nor launches applications and does not confer release acceptance.

+For feature checks after extracting the integrated preview, use the
+[human testing checklist](preview-human-checks.md) alongside the release's exact
+validation record and known limitations.

 Run from a Git checkout with Windows PowerShell 5.1 or PowerShell 7 and Python 3.11+ (standard library only). Build and test first using the [README](../README.md). Select the actual output directory explicitly; a native-host Cargo build normally uses `target/release`, while an explicit `--target` uses `target/<target>/release`. `-Python <executable>` selects Python when it is not named `python` on PATH; it collects/checks the package-local documentation closure without running binaries.

 Packaging also needs the build's matching `cargo` and `rustc` on the packaging process PATH, the locked dependency sources/archive cache, and installed Rust target libraries and copyright reports. The script invokes only read-only `cargo metadata --locked --offline --filter-platform <target>` and Rust version/sysroot queries. It does not download dependencies or build. These tools are packaging prerequisites; the extracted application does not require them.
