docs: document direct-download native binaries in README#111
Merged
Conversation
Each GitHub release ships unsigned NativeAOT binaries for osx-arm64, linux-x64, and win-x64, but the README only covered brew / winget / dotnet tool. Add an Install subsection with per-platform download snippets (curl/tar, Invoke-WebRequest), call out the missing code signing and the Gatekeeper/SmartScreen workarounds, and cross-link from the existing "Do I need .NET installed?" FAQ. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Move the detailed native binary install instructions out of the Install section to reduce clutter, keeping a short note with an anchor link. Document that libonigwrap is optional (syntax highlighting only) and fix the binary size from ~8 MB to ~20 MB. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
