Description

We currently support extensions from any URL, which are cached in the global cache and downloaded once.

If we extended this concept to arbitrary binaries for tasks, which could be cached and then executed (assuming they have no dynamic linkage requirements), then that would be a nice way around pathing issues for CLI things.

The concept would be to have an architecture matrix that downloads the right URL then associates it with an environment variable in the global cache to reference in a task. This could be pretty cool.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. First clarify the architecture matrix, global-cache behavior, environment-variable association, download selection, and execution constraints for dynamically linked binaries. Done should define the supported binary model and its behavior across architectures.
