Known Issues
Cross-compilation limitations: The
build_container.shscript may encounter issues when cross-compiling from AMD64 to ARM architectures. For ARM-based deployments, we recommend building directly on the target ARM platform or using ARM-compatible build environments. A fix for this issue is being developed and will be included in the next patch release.
