+# Allow code_assets 2.x in the Dart package and stop re-running its build hook
+
+The `livekit_uniffi` Dart package capped `code_assets` below 2.0.0, which has since
+shipped. Its only breaking change (equality on `OS` and `Architecture`) does not
+affect the hook, and the cap would make the package unresolvable next to any
+dependency that already requires 2.x. The constraint now allows it, and the hook
+was verified against `code_assets 2.0.0` / `hooks 2.2.0`.
+
+The hook also registered the downloaded library as a dependency. Dependencies are
+inputs, so the hooks runner saw a file modified during the build and re-ran the
+hook, and the download, once on every fresh build. The registration is removed.
+
+The hook also wrote every target's library to the same shared path. A universal
+macOS build runs the hook once per architecture and then merges the results with
+`lipo`, which failed because the second download had overwritten the first. Each
+target now gets its own subdirectory.
