-Packaged executables share native `bds-core` and `bds-server` dynamic libraries. macOS and Linux link ONNX Runtime statically into `bds-core`; Windows archives carry the matching ONNX Runtime DLL plus Microsoft's DirectML redistributable and license for GPU-accelerated local embeddings. The **Install CLI** action replaces `~/.local/bin/bds-cli` with a symbolic link to the packaged CLI, so the command executes beside the same runtime libraries and always follows the package selected by the latest installation.
