+# Downloads the prebuilt aiken-jna-wrapper native libraries for each supported
+# platform from the matching GitHub release into native/<platform>/. The native/
+# tree is packaged as resources, and JNA loads the right library per platform at
+# runtime, so adding a platform here is all that's needed on the Java side.
+#
+# Targets aiken-jna-wrapper v0.7.1 — the patch release that ships the
+# maintenance/cleanup work and the new aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu target
+# (bloxbean/aiken-jna-wrapper#33). The exported FFI functions are unchanged, so
+# no Java interface changes are required.
