Description

It used to work fine before approximately version 1.0.43 and now it prints "Unsupported platform: freebsd/x64" on FreeBSD.

Could you please fix this and not fail on FreeBSD?

Research direction

Reproduce the failure on FreeBSD and compare behavior with versions before and after approximately 1.0.43. Trace the platform-detection path that emits "Unsupported platform: freebsd/x64"; done means the CLI starts and operates on FreeBSD without that error.
