+// npm distribution of backpropagate is deprecated as of v1.3.
 //
-// PyTorch's libtorch_cpu.so is ~1.5 GB on x86_64 Linux. A PyInstaller
-// --onefile binary lands at 4.16 GB — 2x GitHub's release asset limit.
-// macOS/Windows don't hit this because Accelerate is system-provided and
-// Windows torch is smaller.
+// History: v1.0–v1.2 shipped PyInstaller binaries from a GitHub Release,
+// pulled via @mcptoolshop/npm-launcher. Linux bootstrapped a managed venv
+// instead because libtorch_cpu.so blew past GitHub's 2GB release-asset cap.
+// The binary build pipeline failed three consecutive times in v1.2.0 and the
+// release tag has zero attached assets — the launcher would 404 on download.
 //
-// Instead of shipping a broken giant binary, we bootstrap a managed venv
-// on first run and exec the pip-installed CLI from there.
