Research direction

Start by examining the repository's existing build entry points for makemsix and any current packaging checks, then review GitHub Actions workflow conventions. Add validation on stock macOS, Windows, and Linux runners that builds makemsix and uses the resulting binary to generate basic packages; done means the workflow catches compilation or packaging failures on all three platforms.
