README.md incorrectly listed darwin amd64 as Tier 2 supported while marking darwin arm64 as unsupported. This is backwards—Apple Silicon (arm64) is now the standard Mac architecture.

Changes

  • Mark arm64 Darwin as Tier 2 (supported)
  • Mark amd64 Darwin as Not supported

This reflects Apple's transition away from Intel processors. The platform support table now accurately documents current hardware reality.

<issue_title>bug: darwin support should be for arm64, not amd64</issue_title>
<issue_description>The README.md says we support darwin on amd64. This platform is mostly deprecated in favor of arm for darwin. I think the README.md is just out of date.</issue_description>

<agent_instructions>Review the entire repository and see if there is anything else darwin amd64 in any other documentation.</agent_instructions>
