Windows — Full-featured WinForms GUI (.NET 9.0) — stable; bug fixes only
Cross-platform — Avalonia GUI (Linux, macOS, Windows) — broad WinForms parity (~93%), still maturing — preview; receives all new GUI features
CLI — Command-line tools for all platforms

GUI strategy: the WinForms GUI is stable (bug fixes only); all new GUI features ship to the cross-platform Avalonia GUI. See GUI Strategy.
