Build Tiers

Tier	Targets	Schedule
tier1	Core targets (win32, win64, linux, darwin)	Every build
tier2	Common targets (android, ios, freebsd, wasm)	Daily
tier3	Extended targets (m68k, avr, z80, etc.)	Weekly

Configuration

• fpc-config/versions.json - FPC versions to build
• fpc-config/targets.json - Cross-compiler targets by tier

Releases

Each FPC version gets one release (e.g., v3.2.3-latest) containing:

• Host compilers for Windows, Linux, macOS
• Cross-compilers for all built targets
• manifest.json for external discovery
