+The Homebrew tap and matching release archives are the supported install paths

+architectures remain preview or contributor build-from-source targets until
+they have published artifacts and the same end-to-end release gates.
 
 For eventual `homebrew/core` inclusion, we should plan for a source-building formula and a clean `brew audit --new --formula amber_cli` story. The current tap keeps release onboarding fast, while the source-build path is the more likely route for upstream Homebrew acceptance.
