omnipkg 3.3.0

Runtime Hypervisor. Run infinite Python package & interpreter versions concurrently in one environment in milliseconds.

omnipkg – Python Runtime Hypervisor

Run infinite Python package & interpreter versions concurrently in one environment in milliseconds.

---

omnipkg is not just another package manager. It's an intelligent, self-healing runtime orchestrator that breaks the fundamental laws of Python environments. For 30 years, developers accepted that you couldn't run multiple Python versions in one script, or safely switch C-extensions like NumPy mid-execution. Omnipkg proves this is no longer true.

Born from a real-world nightmare—a forced downgrade that wrecked a production environment—omnipkg was built to solve what others couldn't: achieving perfect dependency isolation and runtime adaptability without the overhead of containers or multiple venvs.

⚖️ Multi-Version Support

Multi-version installation tests run every 3 hours. Live results here.

---

💡 Why This Matters

The Multi-Version Nightmare is Over: Modern projects are messy. You need tensorflow==2.10 for a legacy model but tensorflow==2.15 for new training. A critical library requires numpy==1.21 while your latest feature needs numpy==2.0. Traditional solutions like Docker or virtual environments force you into a painful choice: duplicate entire environments, endure slow context switching, or face crippling dependency conflicts.

The Multi-Interpreter Wall is Gone: Legacy codebases often require older Python versions (e.g., Django on 3.8) while modern ML demands the latest (Python 3.11+). This forces developers to constantly manage and switch between separate, isolated environments, killing productivity.

The omnipkg Solution: One Environment, Infinite Python Versions & Packages, Zero Conflicts, Downtime, or Setup. Faster than UV.

omnipkg doesn't just solve these problems—it makes them irrelevant.

• Run Concurrently: Execute tests for Python 3.9, 3.10, and 3.11 at the same time, from one command, test is done in under 500ms. No more sequential CI jobs.
• Switch Mid-Script: Seamlessly use torch==2.0.0 and torch==2.7.1 in the same script without restarting.
• Instant Healing: Recover from environment damage in microseconds, not hours.
• Speak Your Language: All of this, in your native tongue.

This is the new reality: one environment, one script, everything just works.

🧠 Revolutionary Core Features

1. Multiverse Orchestration & Python Hot-Swapping

The "Quantum Multiverse Warp": 3 Pythons, 1 Script, Sub-3ms Execution

Our "Quantum Multiverse Warp" demo, validated live in CI across multiple platforms, executes a single script across three different Python interpreters and three package versions concurrently in the same environment. The hot worker performance isn't just fast; it redefines what's possible for high-performance Python automation.

Production Benchmark Results (macOS CI)

Task (Same Script, Same Environment)	Hot Worker Execution
🧵 Thread 1: Python 3.9 + Rich 13.4.2	✅ 2.2ms
🧵 Thread 2: Python 3.10 + Rich 13.6.0	✅ 2.3ms
🧵 Thread 3: Python 3.11 + Rich 13.7.1	✅ 2.3ms
🏆 Total Concurrent Runtime	2.3ms
⏱️ Total Test Duration (with setup)	2.14s

Platform-Specific Performance:

Platform	Hot Worker Benchmark	Total w/ Setup	CI Link
🐧 Linux	3.8ms avg (3.2-4.5ms range)	~580ms	View CI
🍎 macOS	2.3ms avg (2.2-2.3ms range)	2.14s	View CI

What This Actually Means

The numbers that matter are the hot worker benchmarks (sub-5ms). This is the actual execution time for running code across three concurrent Python interpreters with three different package versions. The "Total w/ Setup" includes one-time initialization:

• Worker pool spawning
• Package installation (if not cached)
• Environment validation

Why This Is Revolutionary:

• Traditional approach: Docker containers or separate venvs would take 30-90 seconds minimum to achieve the same multi-version testing
• omnipkg approach: After initial setup, switching between Python versions and package combinations happens in microseconds, not seconds

This isn't just a speedup; it's a paradigm shift. What traditionally takes minutes with Docker or complex venv scripting, omnipkg accomplishes in milliseconds. This isn't a simulation; it's a live, production-ready capability for high-performance Python automation.

Benchmark Methodology

Our production benchmark follows industry-standard practices:

1. 📥 Setup Phase: Verify Python interpreters are available and daemon is running (one-time cost)
2. 🔥 Warmup Phase: Spawn workers and install packages - timing discarded (matches real-world "first run" scenario)
3. ⚡ Benchmark Phase: Execute with hot workers - THIS IS THE METRIC (pure execution performance)
4. 🔍 Verification Phase: Prove correctness with version checks (not timed)

Key Achievement: The hot worker performance (2-4ms) represents the actual overhead of omnipkg's multiverse orchestration. Once warmed up, switching between Python interpreters and package versions is faster than most function calls.

Don't believe it? See the live proof, then run Demo 8 to experience it yourself:

• After: Concurrent testing with omnipkg = < 3 seconds (including setup)
• Improvement: 60-100x faster CI/CD workflows

For Development:

• Before: Switch Python versions → wait 30-90s for new venv/container
• After: Switch with omnipkg → < 5ms overhead
• Improvement: Instant iteration, zero context-switching penalty

This is the new reality: one environment, one script, everything just works — and it's blazing fast.

🔄 Reproducible State Sync & Environment Reconstruction

Omnipkg treats your environment as a State Engine — a deterministic, rebuildable artifact rather than a collection of installed files. Two commands drive this:

---

8pkg export — Snapshot your environment

8pkg export

Scans all registered interpreters and writes two files:

• Local lock — <venv>/.omnipkg/omnipkg.lock — full environment inventory including interpreter registry, active packages, and bubble state per Python version
• Canonical state — ~/.config/omnipkg/locks/states/sha256_<hash>.toml — a privacy-scrubbed, path-free cryptographic fingerprint of your environment (safe to commit or share)

If the environment has changed since the last export, the SHA transitions automatically:

🔄 Environment changed — updating lock file
   sha256:aaaaaa... → sha256:bbbbbb...

If nothing changed, it's a no-op.

---

8pkg sync — Rebuild or verify from a lock file

8pkg sync

Runs an interactive flow. Auto-selects the most recent lock file for the current environment, shows a full sync plan across all registered interpreters, then computes a live SHA and compares it against the lock.

If the environment already matches:

✅ Environment already matches lock file (sha256:bbbbbb...).

   What would you like to do?
   [1] Exit — nothing to do  (default)
   [2] Rebuild anyway
   [3] Sync from a different lock file
   [4] Manage lock files (delete old ones)

If the environment has drifted:

⚠️  This will DESTROY and rebuild the listed python environments.
Proceed? (y/N):

The destructive rebuild warning is explicit — sync is not a partial patch, it fully reconstructs all listed interpreter environments to match the lock exactly.

---

Switching lock files (--pick)

If you have multiple environments or historical snapshots:

8pkg sync --pick

Presents a numbered list of every lock file Omnipkg knows about, grouped by environment:

  ── my_env ──
    1) <venv>/.omnipkg/omnipkg.lock
       python: 3.11  9 interpreter(s)  918 active packages  ◀ most recent

  ── ? ──
    2) sha256_bbbbbb...toml   9 interpreters  918 pkgs  2026-04-16
    3) sha256_aaaaaa...toml   9 interpreters  826 pkgs  2026-04-14

  ── used by: other_env ──
    4) sha256_cccccc...toml   3 interpreters  152 pkgs  2026-04-06

Select by number, or [m] to manage/delete old states.

---

How the SHA split works

Layer	Location	Contains	Shareable?
Local lock	<venv>/.omnipkg/omnipkg.lock	Paths, env kind, distro, venv origin	No
Canonical state	~/.config/omnipkg/locks/states/	Package hashes, ABI tags, arch, Python version	Yes — zero PII

The canonical SHA is deterministic: same packages + same arch + same Python patch version always produces the same hash, regardless of machine or user. Two machines can confirm environment parity by comparing SHAs without exchanging any local path data.

---

CI/CD

CI flags and --yes / -y are not yet implemented — sync is currently interactive only. For unattended use, pipe input directly:

echo "y" | 8pkg sync

Non-interactive flag support is planned for a future release.

### 2. Intelligent Script Runner (`omnipkg run`) [![⚡ Auto-Healing: 12.94x Faster than UV](https://img.shields.io/badge/⚡_Auto--Healing-12.94x_Faster_than_UV-gold?logo=lightning&logoColor=white)](https://github.com/1minds3t/omnipkg/actions/workflows/old_rich_test.yml)
`omnipkg run` is an intelligent script and CLI executor that **automatically detects and fixes** dependency errors using bubble versions—without modifying your main environment.

## What is `omnipkg run`?
Think of it as a "smart wrapper" around Python scripts and CLI commands that:
1. **Tries to execute** your script or command
2. **Detects errors** (ImportError, ModuleNotFoundError, version conflicts)
3. **Finds the right version** from existing bubbles or creates new ones
4. **Re-runs successfully** in milliseconds—all automatically

**The magic:** Your broken main environment stays broken, but everything works anyway.

## Two Modes of Operation

### Mode 1: Script Execution (`omnipkg run script.py`)
Automatically heals Python scripts with dependency conflicts:

```bash
$ python broken_script.py
AssertionError: Incorrect rich version! Expected 13.4.2, got 13.7.1

$ omnipkg run broken_script.py
🔍 Runtime version assertion failed. Auto-healing...
   - Conflict identified for: rich==13.4.2
🛠️  Installing bubble for rich==13.4.2...
   ⚡ HEALED in 16,223.1 μs (16.2ms)
✅ Script completed successfully!

Performance vs UV:

UV Failed Run      : 210.007ms (fails, no recovery)
omnipkg Activation :  16.223ms (succeeds automatically)
🎯 omnipkg is 12.94x FASTER than UV!

Mode 2: CLI Command Execution (omnipkg run <command>)

Automatically heals broken command-line tools:

# Regular execution fails
$ http --version
ImportError: cannot import name 'SKIP_HEADER' from 'urllib3.util'

# omnipkg run heals and executes
$ omnipkg run http --version
⚠️  Command failed (exit code 1). Starting Auto-Healer...
🔍 Import error detected. Auto-healing with bubbles...
♻️  Loading: ['urllib3==2.6.3']
   ⚡ HEALED in 12,371.6 μs (12.4ms)
3.2.4
✅ Success!

What happened: The main environment still has urllib3 1.25.11 (broken), but omnipkg run used urllib3 2.6.3 from a bubble to make the command work.

How It Works

Step 1: Detect the Error

omnipkg run recognizes multiple error patterns:

# Import errors
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'missing_package'
ImportError: cannot import name 'SKIP_HEADER'

# Version conflicts  
AssertionError: Incorrect rich version! Expected 13.4.2, got 13.7.1
requires numpy==1.26.4, but you have numpy==2.0.0

# C-extension failures
A module compiled using NumPy 1.x cannot run in NumPy 2.0

Step 2: Build a Healing Plan

Analyzes the error and identifies what's needed:

🔍 Comprehensive Healing Plan Compiled (Attempt 1): ['rich==13.4.2']

For CLI commands, it includes the owning package:

🔍 Analyzing error: ImportError from urllib3
♻️  Loading: ['urllib3==2.6.3']

Step 3: Find or Create Bubbles

Checks if the needed version exists:

# Bubble exists - instant activation
🚀 INSTANT HIT: Found existing bubble urllib3==2.6.3 in KB
   ⚡ HEALED in 12.4ms

# Bubble doesn't exist - create it
🛠️  Installing bubble for rich==13.4.2...
   📊 Bubble: 4 packages, 0 conflicts
   ⚡ HEALED in 16.2ms

Step 4: Execute with Bubbles

Re-runs the script/command with the correct versions activated:

🌀 omnipkg auto-heal: Wrapping with loaders for ['rich==13.4.2']...
🚀 Fast-activating rich==13.4.2 ...
   📊 Bubble: 4 packages, 0 conflicts
   🧹 Purging 4 module(s) from memory...
🔗 Linked 20 compatible dependencies to bubble
   ✅ Bubble activated

🚀 Running target script inside the bubble...
✅ Successfully imported rich version: 13.4.2

Step 5: Clean Restoration

After execution, environment is restored to original state:

🌀 omnipkg loader: Deactivating rich==13.4.2...
   ✅ Environment restored.
   ⏱️  Swap Time: 35,319.103 μs (35.3ms)

Real-World Examples

Example 1: Version Conflict Resolution

Scenario: Script needs rich==13.4.2 but main environment has rich==13.7.1

$ omnipkg run test_rich.py
🔍 Runtime version assertion failed. Auto-healing...
   - Conflict identified for: rich==13.4.2

🛠️  Installing bubble for rich==13.4.2...
   - 🧪 Running SMART import verification...
   ✅ markdown-it-py: OK
   ✅ rich: OK
   ✅ mdurl: OK
   ✅ Pygments: OK
   
   ⚡ HEALED in 16.2ms
✅ Script completed successfully inside omnipkg bubble.

Main environment after execution:

$ python -c "import rich; print(rich.__version__)"
13.7.1  # Still the original version - untouched!

Example 2: Broken CLI Tool

Scenario: httpie broken by urllib3 downgrade to 1.25.11

# Shows the error first
$ http --version
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/http", line 13, in <module>
    from urllib3.util import SKIP_HEADER
ImportError: cannot import name 'SKIP_HEADER' from 'urllib3.util'

# Heals and executes
$ omnipkg run http --version
⚠️  Command 'http' failed. Starting Auto-Healer...
🔍 Analyzing error: ImportError from module
   - Installing missing package: urllib3

🔍 Resolving latest version for 'urllib3'...
   🚀 INSTANT HIT: Found existing bubble urllib3==2.6.3
   
🐍 [omnipkg loader] Running in Python 3.11 context
🚀 Fast-activating urllib3==2.6.3 ...
   📊 Bubble: 1 packages, 0 conflicts
   🧹 Purging 31 modules for 'urllib3'
   ⚡ HEALED in 12.4ms

🚀 Re-launching '/usr/bin/http' in healed environment...
3.2.4
✅ Success!

Main environment after execution:

$ python -c "import urllib3; print(urllib3.__version__)"
1.25.11  # Still broken - but who cares? omnipkg run works!

The Future: Package Manager Interception

This healing capability is the foundation for our vision of transparent package management:

# Coming soon: omnipkg intercepts all package managers
$ pip install broken-package==old-version
⚠️  This would break 3 packages in your environment
🛡️  omnipkg: Creating bubble instead to protect environment
✅ Installed to bubble - use 'omnipkg run' to access

# Everything just works
$ omnipkg run my-script-using-old-version.py
✅ Success (using bubbled version)

$ python my-script-using-new-version.py  
✅ Success (using main environment)

The endgame: Infinite package coexistence, zero conflicts, microsecond switching—all invisible to the user.

---

---

---

3. Dynamic Package Switching & Process Isolation

omnipkg allows you to switch package versions mid-script and run conflicting dependencies simultaneously. It offers two distinct modes depending on the severity of the dependency conflict:

1. In-Process Overlay: For "safe" packages (NumPy, SciPy, Pandas) — Zero latency.
2. Daemon Worker Pool: For "heavy" frameworks (TensorFlow, PyTorch) — True isolation.

---

🛑 The Hard Truth: Why You Need Daemons

Traditional Python wisdom says you cannot switch frameworks like PyTorch or TensorFlow without restarting the interpreter. This is true. Their C++ backends (_C symbols) bind to memory and refuse to let go.

What happens if you try to force-switch PyTorch in-process?

# ❌ THIS CRASHES IN STANDARD PYTHON
import torch  # Loads version 2.0.1
# ... try to unload and reload 2.1.0 ...
import torch
# NameError: name '_C' is not defined

The C++ backend remains resident, causing symbol conflicts and segfaults.

🟢 The Solution: omnipkg Daemon Workers

Instead of fighting the C++ backend, omnipkg accepts it. We spawn persistent, lightweight worker processes for each framework version.

• Workers persist across script runs: Cold start once, hot-swap forever.
• Zero-Copy Communication: Data moves between workers via shared memory (no pickling overhead).
• Sub-millisecond switching: Switching contexts takes ~0.37ms.

---

🚀 The Impossible Made Real: Benchmark Results

We ran omnipkg demo (Scenario 11: Chaos Theory) to prove capabilities that should be impossible.

1. Framework Battle Royale (Concurrent Execution)

The Challenge: Run TensorFlow, PyTorch, and NumPy (different versions) at the exact same time.

🥊 ROUND 1: Truly Concurrent Execution
   ⚡ NumPy Legacy    →  (0.71ms)
   ⚡ NumPy Modern    →  (0.71ms)
   ⚡ PyTorch         →  (0.80ms)
   ⚡ TensorFlow      →  (1.15ms)

📊 RESULT: 4 Frameworks executed in 1.69ms total wall-clock time.

2. The TensorFlow Resurrection Test

The Challenge: Kill and respawn a TensorFlow environment 5 times.

• Standard Method (Cold Spawn): ~2885ms per reload.
• omnipkg Daemon (Warm Worker): ~716ms first run, 3ms subsequent runs.
• Result: 4.0x Speedup (and nearly instant after warm-up).

3. Rapid Circular Switching

The Challenge: Toggle between PyTorch 2.0.1 (CUDA 11.8) and 2.1.0 (CUDA 12.1) doing heavy tensor math.

ROUND  | WORKER          | VERSION         | TIME       
-------------------------------------------------------
 #1    | torch-2.0.1     | 2.0.1+cu118     | 0.63ms     
 #2    | torch-2.1.0     | 2.1.0+cu121     | 1570ms (Cold)
 #3    | torch-2.0.1     | 2.0.1+cu118     | 0.66ms (Hot)
 #4    | torch-2.1.0     | 2.1.0+cu121     | 0.44ms (Hot)
 ...
 #10   | torch-2.1.0     | 2.1.0+cu121     | 0.37ms (Hot)

💻 Usage

Mode A: In-Process Loader (NumPy, SciPy, Tools)

Best for nested dependencies and libraries that clean up after themselves.

from omnipkg.loader import omnipkgLoader

# Layer 1: NumPy 1.24
with omnipkgLoader("numpy==1.24.3"):
    import numpy as np
    print(f"Outer: {np.__version__}") # 1.24.3
    
    # Layer 2: SciPy 1.10 (Nested)
    with omnipkgLoader("scipy==1.10.1"):
        import scipy
        # Works perfectly, sharing the NumPy 1.24 context
        print(f"Inner: {scipy.__version__}")

Mode B: Daemon Client (TensorFlow, PyTorch)

Best for heavy ML frameworks and conflicting C++ backends.

from omnipkg.isolation.worker_daemon import DaemonClient

client = DaemonClient()

# Execute code in PyTorch 2.0.1
client.execute_smart("torch==2.0.1+cu118", """
import torch
print(f"Running on {torch.cuda.get_device_name(0)} with Torch {torch.__version__}")
""")

# Instantly switch to PyTorch 2.1.0 (Different process, shared memory)
client.execute_smart("torch==2.1.0", "import torch; print(torch.__version__)")

4. 🌍 Global Intelligence & AI-Driven Localization

omnipkg eliminates language barriers with advanced AI localization supporting 24+ languages, making package management accessible to developers worldwide in their native language.

Key Features: Auto-detection from system locale, competitive AI translation models, context-aware technical term handling, and continuous self-improvement from user feedback.

# Set language permanently
omnipkg config set language zh_CN
# ✅ Language permanently set to: 中文 (简体)

# Temporary language override
omnipkg --lang es install requests

# View current configuration
cat ~/.config/omnipkg/config.json

Zero setup required—works in your language from first run with graceful fallbacks and clear beta transparency.

---

5. Downgrade Protection & Conflict Resolution

omnipkg automatically reorders installations and isolates conflicts, preventing environment-breaking downgrades.

Example: Conflicting torch versions:

omnipkg install torch==2.0.0 torch==2.7.1

What happens? omnipkg reorders installs to trigger the bubble creation, installs torch==2.7.1 in the main environment, and isolates torch==2.0.0 in a lightweight "bubble," sharing compatible dependencies to save space. No virtual environments or containers needed.

🔄 Reordered: torch==2.7.1, torch==2.0.0
📦 Installing torch==2.7.1... ✅ Done
🛡️ Downgrade detected for torch==2.0.0
🫧 Creating bubble for torch==2.0.0... ✅ Done
🔄 Restoring torch==2.7.1... ✅ Environment secure

6. Deep Package Intelligence with Import Validation

omnipkg goes beyond simple version tracking, building a deep knowledge base (in Redis or SQLite) for every package. In v1.5.0, this now includes live import validation during bubble creation.

• The Problem: A package can be "installed" but still be broken due to missing C-extensions or incorrect sys.path entries.
• The Solution: When creating a bubble, omnipkg now runs an isolated import test for every single dependency. It detects failures (e.g., absl-py: No module named 'absl_py') and even attempts to automatically repair them, ensuring bubbles are not just created, but are guaranteed to be functional.

Example Insight:

omnipkg info uv
📋 KEY DATA for 'uv':
🎯 Active Version: 0.8.11
🫧 Bubbled Versions: 0.8.10

---[ Health & Security ]---
🔒 Security Issues : 0  
🛡️ Audit Status  : checked_in_bulk
✅ Importable      : True

Intelligence Includes	Redis/SQLite Superpowers
• Binary Analysis (ELF validation, file sizes)	• 0.2ms metadata lookups
• CLI Command Mapping (all subcommands/flags)	• Compressed storage for large data
• Security Audits (vulnerability scans)	• Atomic transaction safety
• Dependency Graphs (conflict detection)	• Intelligent caching of expensive operations
• Import Validation (runtime testing)	• Enables future C-extension symlinking

7. Instant Environment Recovery

If an external tool (like pip or uv) causes damage, omnipkg revert restores your environment to a "last known good" state in seconds.

Key CI Output Excerpt:

Initial uv version (omnipkg-installed):uv 0.8.11
$ uv pip install uv==0.7.13
 - uv==0.8.11
 + uv==0.7.13
uv self-downgraded successfully.
Current uv version (after uv's operation): uv 0.7.13

⚖️  Comparing current environment to the last known good snapshot...
📝 The following actions will be taken to restore the environment:
  - Fix Version: uv==0.8.11
🚀 Starting revert operation...
✅ Environment successfully reverted to the last known good state.

--- Verifying UV version after omnipkg revert ---
uv 0.8.11

UV is saved, along with any deps!

🛠️ Get Started in 30 Seconds

No Prerequisites Required!

omnipkg works out of the box with automatic SQLite fallback when Redis isn't available. Redis is optional for enhanced performance.

⚡ Native C-dispatcher

Typing 8pkg no longer spawns a Python process. A compiled C binary handles routing in under 1ms, compiling itself automatically on first run (MSVC on Windows, gcc/clang on Linux/macOS). For edge cases it can't handle natively, it hands off to the Python dispatcher transparently.

Force Python dispatch if you need to debug:

OMNIPKG_FORCE_PYTHON_DISPATCH=1 8pkg install numpy

Ready to end dependency hell?

uv pip install omnipkg && omnipkg demo

See the magic in under 30 seconds.

📝 Special Installation Notes

Ubuntu 24.04+ / Debian 12+ (PEP 668)

Modern Debian/Ubuntu enforce PEP 668 to protect system packages:

# Use --break-system-packages flag
python3 -m pip install --break-system-packages omnipkg

# Or use a virtual environment (recommended for development)
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install omnipkg

Rocky/Alma Linux 8 (Python 3.6 → 3.9)

EL8 ships with Python 3.6, which is too old for modern pyproject.toml:

# Install Python 3.9 first
sudo dnf install -y python39 python39-pip

# Make python3 point to 3.9
sudo ln -sf /usr/bin/python3.9 /usr/bin/python3
sudo ln -sf /usr/bin/pip3.9 /usr/bin/pip3

# Now install omnipkg
python3 -m pip install omnipkg

Alpine Linux (Build Dependencies)

Alpine requires build tools for dependencies like psutil:

# Install build tools first
apk add --no-cache gcc python3-dev musl-dev linux-headers

# Then install omnipkg
python3 -m pip install --break-system-packages omnipkg

Arch Linux

# Arch uses --break-system-packages for global installs
python -m pip install --break-system-packages omnipkg

# Or use pacman if available in AUR (future)
yay -S python-omnipkg

🐍 Python Version Support

Supported: Python 3.7 - 3.15 (including beta/rc releases)

Architecture: noarch (pure Python, no compiled extensions)

This means omnipkg runs on any architecture where Python is available:

• ✅ x86_64 (Intel/AMD) - verified in CI
• ✅ ARM32 (armv6/v7) - verified on piwheels
• ✅ ARM64 (aarch64) - Python native support
• ✅ RISC-V, POWER, s390x - anywhere Python runs!

✅ ARM64 Support Verified (QEMU)

omnipkg is fully verified on ARM64. This was achieved without needing expensive native hardware by using a powerful QEMU emulation setup on a self-hosted x86_64 runner. This process proves that the package installs and functions correctly on the following ARM64 Linux distributions:

Platform	Architecture	Status	Notes
Debian 12 (Bookworm)	ARM64 (aarch64)	✅	QEMU Emulation
Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble)	ARM64 (aarch64)	✅	QEMU Emulation
Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy)	ARM64 (aarch64)	✅	QEMU Emulation
Fedora 39	ARM64 (aarch64)	✅	QEMU Emulation
Rocky Linux 9	ARM64 (aarch64)	✅	QEMU Emulation
Alpine Linux	ARM64 (aarch64)	✅	QEMU Emulation

This verification acts as a critical pre-release gate, ensuring that any version published to PyPI is confirmed to work for ARM64 users before it's released.
