+# This is the regression gate that `cargo build --workspace` cannot provide:
+# --workspace (even with --all-targets) silently SKIPS any [[bin]] that declares
+# `required-features` unless those features are explicitly enabled. So a
+# required-features binary can stop compiling and never trip fmt / clippy / test
+# / build CI — the break only surfaces when the app is packaged.
+#
+# Two real regressions slipped through exactly this gap and were caught only at
+# packaging time:
+#   - train_grad_full  E0063  (missing GDN gradient fields under train-backward)
+#   - generate_lora    E0599  (generate_streaming method not in scope)
+#
+# Keep this binary list in sync with apps/macos/scripts/package-app.sh.
