Description

Current situation

If you build locally ( or on a builder ) you will need to specify your building platform if it is linux/arm64 as linux/amd64 is a default.

Defaulting happens silently and can lead to longer debugging sessions.

Ideal Situation

Boil should be able to autodetect the platform. Using --target-platform should be a override to the autodetection.

Research direction

Start by locating Boil's handling of the --target-platform option and the current default platform selection. Trace how local and builder builds determine their platform, then verify that autodetection is used while an explicit --target-platform value still overrides it.
