 A CLI tool (`sonar`) that integrates SonarQube Server and Cloud into developer workflows.
 
 Release builds publish standalone executables for `linux-x86-64`, `linux-arm64`, `macos-arm64`, and `windows-x86-64`. binaries.sonarsource.com artifacts use the `.bin` suffix on Linux/macOS and `.exe` on Windows (e.g. `sonarqube-cli-{version}-linux-x86-64.bin`); versions published before that convention remain `.exe` on the CDN. Dependency binaries (sonar-secrets, sca-scanner-cli) still use `.exe` in download URLs. The stable installers (`user-scripts/install.sh`, `user-scripts/install.ps1`) resolve the real release version from `Distribution/sonarqube-cli/stable.version`; the shell installers select the Linux artifact using `uname -m` (`aarch64` / `arm64` → `linux-arm64`, `x86_64` / `amd64` → `linux-x86-64`) and try `.bin` then `.exe` when downloading. They also keep a literal compatibility version marker for older `sonar self-update` clients, and `full-release.yml` updates that marker to the latest released version during the post-release bump PR.
+Compiled binaries are produced via `build-scripts/build-binary.ts`, which injects `SONARQUBE_CLI_DISTRIBUTION` at compile time. The only supported value is `standalone`, and standalone-only flows such as `self-update` key off that distribution marker.
