+  # macOS has no glibc, so the darwin binaries are built natively on the runner
+  # for each architecture: arm64 on Apple-silicon macos-14, x86_64 on Intel
+  # macos-13. Bazelisk's darwin assets use the `amd64` arch token for x86_64
+  # (matching the linux convention), so we download per `bazelisk_arch` while the
+  # published asset name keeps Bazelisk's `<os>-<arch>` form (`darwin-x86_64`).
+  #
+  # NOTE: macos-13 is GitHub's last Intel-based hosted runner and is on a
+  # deprecation track. It works today, but once GitHub retires it the
+  # darwin-x86_64 leg will have to cross-compile from an Apple-silicon runner
+  # (e.g. macos-14 with `--cpu=darwin_x86_64` / `--macos_cpus=x86_64`) instead of
+  # building natively.
