One day a refactor of the workflow moves the build output into a shared folder. The Linux ARM job now packs whatever tidy binary is in that folder, and on the runner where it lands, that’s the Intel build. Meanwhile the Intel Mac job hits a cache from the previous release and doesn’t rebuild. Every job is green. The archives have the right names and plausible sizes.
