# Native engine archives
The crate links one target-specific archive containing both guest backends and
the activation constructor. No native executable is stored or extracted at
runtime. The archives were built from engine commit
`a2f1c4443fab65d4c61c8c779f42d52ea62760dc`.
| `aarch64-apple-darwin` | `build/package/macos-aarch64/libhl-engine.a` | `de7c72c34d8310164a978b41e270c4fe29cae1c5ca706acd0e56dcb044c9cfe8` |
| `aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu` | `build/package/linux-aarch64/libhl-engine.a` | `d35f4ae23c1f7c0ec3707c5e3645d5310d0b0714c14b0af971e8df4419e99f28` |
Cargo links the selected archive with whole-archive semantics so the private
pre-main activation constructor is retained in downstream executables. A
macOS application using the engine must be signed with the repository's JIT
entitlements before distribution.
# Alpine test fixture
