Add riscv64 (linux_riscv64) wheel to PyPI releases

Add linux_riscv64 wheel to PyPI releases

Summary

pip install tree-sitter-bash on riscv64 Linux currently requires building from source (~1 min on a 1.6 GHz RISC-V SoC). Adding linux_riscv64 to the wheel build matrix would give riscv64 users a prebuilt wheel.

Evidence

Tested wheel	tree_sitter_bash-0.25.1-cp310-abi3-linux_riscv64.whl
Hardware	BananaPi F3 (SpacemiT K1, rv64imafdcv, 8 cores @ 1.6 GHz, 16 GB RAM)
Python	3.13 (CPython)
Build system	cibuildwheel (via tree-sitter/workflows reusable workflow)
Build time	~1 min (native, on hardware)

The wheel imports and passes basic smoke tests on riscv64 Linux.

Suggested CI change

Workflow: tree-sitter/workflows/.github/workflows/package-pypi.yml (reusable)

The fix must go to the shared reusable workflow in tree-sitter/workflows, not this repo:

In tree-sitter/workflows/.github/workflows/package-pypi.yml:

# Change CIBW_ARCHS: native to include riscv64 via QEMU
# Or add a separate emulated job for riscv64

This would fix riscv64 for ALL tree-sitter grammar packages at once.

Ecosystem context

• manylinux_2_28_riscv64 images are available on quay.io/pypa/ (landed in pypa/manylinux, 2025)
• cibuildwheel 3.x supports riscv64 via QEMU emulation
• auditwheel supports riscv64 platform tags
• maturin-action supports riscv64gc-unknown-linux-gnu cross-compilation
• Packages already shipping riscv64 wheels on PyPI: aiohttp, yarl, regex, markupsafe, charset-normalizer, rpds-py, multidict, propcache, watchfiles, rignore, setproctitle
• RISC-V hardware is shipping: SiFive HiFive, SpacemiT K1/K3, Sophgo SG2044 (64-core)

Our temporary index

While upstream support is pending, we maintain a PEP 503 index with 50+ riscv64 wheels for the Python ML/AI stack, built natively on RISC-V hardware.
