name: Release VM Kernel

# Build custom libkrunfw (kernel firmware) + libkrun (VMM) for all
# supported openshell-driver-vm platforms. Artifacts are uploaded to the
# rolling "vm-runtime" GitHub Release and consumed by normal dev/tag release
# workflows when building the openshell-driver-vm binary.
#
# The Linux kernel is compiled once on aarch64 Linux.  The resulting kernel.c
# (a C source file containing the kernel as a byte array) is shared with the
# macOS job, which only needs to compile it into a .dylib — no krunvm, no
# Fedora VM, no kernel rebuild.  This cuts macOS CI from ~45 min to ~5 min.
#
# This workflow runs on demand when kernel config or pins change. It is
# intentionally decoupled from the per-commit VM binary build because the
# kernel rarely changes and takes 15-45 minutes to compile.

            Build of the OpenShell VM runtime artifacts used by `openshell-driver-vm`.

            > **NOTE**: This is a development build.

            ### Kernel Runtime Artifacts

            Pre-built kernel runtime (libkrunfw + libkrun + umoci) for embedding
            into the `openshell-driver-vm` binary. These are rebuilt on demand when the
            kernel config or pinned dependency versions change.

            | Platform | Artifact |
            |----------|----------|
            | Linux ARM64 | `vm-runtime-linux-aarch64.tar.zst` |
            | Linux x86_64 | `vm-runtime-linux-x86_64.tar.zst` |
            | macOS ARM64 | `vm-runtime-darwin-aarch64.tar.zst` |

            ### Verify
