 - Kotlin: `2.3.0`, JVM target: `11` (compile/target compatibility in both `composeApp/build.gradle.kts` and `plugin_interfaces/build.gradle.kts`).
 - **compose-webview (desktop) dispatcher hijack:** `dev.nucleusframework:composewebview` transitively pulls `nucleus.decorated-window-tao`, which registers a `TaoMainDispatcherFactory` (`loadPriority = 100`) via `META-INF/services` that hijacks `Dispatchers.Main` away from the Swing EDT. This breaks lifecycle's `enforceMainThreadIfNeeded` (window fails with "Method addObserver must be called on the main thread"). The app overrides it with `SwingMainDispatcherFactory` (`composeApp/src/jvmMain/.../core/coroutines/`, `loadPriority = Int.MAX_VALUE`) which pins `Dispatchers.Main` back to the Swing EDT. Keep that factory + its `META-INF/services/kotlinx.coroutines.internal.MainDispatcherFactory` resource; the long-term fix is in the webview (make the Tao dispatcher opt-in or lower its priority).
 
+## GraalVM native image (desktop)
+- Enabled via `graalvm { }` inside `nucleus.application` in `composeApp/build.gradle.kts`. Nucleus downloads GraalVM CE itself (or uses `$GRAALVM_HOME`). Linux needs `gcc` + `patchelf`.
+- Build: `:composeApp:createGraalvmNativeDistributable` (output `composeApp/build/compose/binaries/main/graalvm-app/`), installers via `packageGraalvm{Deb,Rpm,AppImage,Dmg,Msi,Exe}`. A build takes ~10 min and uses all cores and ~15 GB RAM.
+- Hand-maintained + agent-recorded metadata lives in `composeApp/graalvm/reachability-metadata.json`. After adding features that use reflection/JNI/JNA (vlcj, Zipline, plugins), run `:composeApp:runWithNativeAgent`, exercise the feature, then close the window normally (the merge only happens on a clean exit).
+- `uk.co.caprica.vlcj.binding.lib.LibVlc` must stay registered (`allDeclaredMethods` + `jniAccessible`): JNA direct mapping finds its `native` methods by reflection.
+- The `*UberJarForCurrentOS` task excludes other OSes'/CPUs' native libs and stale CEF binaries, because native-image embeds every registered resource into the binary. On Linux, `copyGraalvmJvmSo` is disabled and `copyGraalvmAwtSoLibs` prefers native-image's own libs (10 KB `libjvm.so`/`libjava.so` shims instead of the JDK's 28 MB `libjvm.so`).
+- `isProductionBuild` (top of `composeApp/build.gradle.kts`) is true for `package*`/`create*`/`notarize*`/`nativeImageCompile` tasks, or with `-Pproduction=true|false`. It gates the Rust release profile (Gobley `jvmVariant`) so `:composeApp:run` keeps fast debug Rust builds. Put new slow, ship-only optimizations behind it.
+- Full user-facing build docs are in `README.md` ("Building from source").

+- Build jobs per platform (Android, Linux, Windows, macOS), all `needs: prepare-deps`. Desktop jobs ship GraalVM native installers (`packageGraalvm{Deb,Rpm,Exe,Dmg}`, output in `composeApp/build/compose/binaries/main/graalvm-<format>/`), not jpackage/JVM ones.
 - **Stable**: reads `versionName` from `composeApp/build.gradle.kts`, tag = `v{version}`, draft release.
 - **Nightly**: builds with `-PversionName=nightly`, tag = `nightly` (updates existing), prerelease.
 - **Android signing**: decodes `secrets.KEYSTORE` (base64) → `composeApp/upload-keystore.jks`, writes signing config into `local.properties` from secrets.

-You can compile Spotube's source code by [following these instructions](CONTRIBUTION.md#your-first-code-contribution).
+Spotube is a Kotlin Multiplatform + Compose Multiplatform app. The desktop app is built with the [Nucleus](https://nucleusframework.dev) Gradle plugin and released as a **GraalVM native image**: an ahead-of-time compiled binary that needs no JVM installed.
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- **JDK 21** to run Gradle. The Gradle daemon JDK and the GraalVM toolchain are provisioned automatically.
+- **Rust** (`rustup` + `cargo`). The `composeApp` Rust library is built through [Gobley](https://gobley.dev).
+- **Android SDK**, only for Android builds.
+- **Unpublished dependencies.** Three dependencies aren't on Maven Central yet. Clone each one and run `./gradlew publishToMavenLocal` in it:
+  - [kdroidFilter/ComposeNativeWebview](https://github.com/kdroidFilter/ComposeNativeWebview), at the commit pinned in [`spotube-release-binary.yml`](.github/workflows/spotube-release-binary.yml) (`COMPOSE_WEBVIEW_COMMIT`)
+  - [team-spotube/gradle-plugin](https://github.com/team-spotube/gradle-plugin)
+  - [team-spotube/vlcj-bundler-gradle-plugin](https://github.com/team-spotube/vlcj-bundler-gradle-plugin)
+- **Linux runtime:** `webkit2gtk-4.1` for the embedded webview.
+
+Always use the Gradle wrapper (`./gradlew`, or `gradlew.bat` on Windows).
+
+### Development
+
+```bash
+./gradlew :composeApp:run                    # desktop (JVM), fastest edit/run loop
+./gradlew :composeApp:assembleStableDebug    # Android debug APK (or assembleNightlyDebug)
+```
+
+Development builds stay fast. The release-only optimizations (the Rust release profile with LTO and symbol stripping, the native image, native-library pruning) are only applied when you build something to ship. See [Production vs development builds](#production-vs-development-builds).
+
+### Building the desktop app (GraalVM native image)
+
+#### Native toolchain
+
+[Nucleus downloads and caches GraalVM CE](https://nucleusframework.dev/en/docs/performance/graalvm/) under `~/.gradle/nucleus/graalvm` on the first native build. Set `GRAALVM_HOME` to use your own GraalVM instead. Each OS also needs a native C toolchain:
+
+| OS | Requirements |
+|---|---|
+| Linux | `gcc`, `zlib` headers, `patchelf`; plus `rpm` for `.rpm` packages. Debian/Ubuntu: `sudo apt-get install build-essential zlib1g-dev patchelf rpm`. Fedora: `sudo dnf install gcc zlib-devel patchelf rpm-build` |
+| macOS | Xcode Command Line Tools (`xcode-select --install`) |
+| Windows | Visual Studio Build Tools with the "Desktop development with C++" workload. Build from an "x64 Native Tools" prompt if `native-image` can't find MSVC. |
+
+A native build is a whole-program compile. It takes **about 10 minutes**, uses **every CPU core**, and peaks at roughly **15 GB of RAM** (it gets slower, not broken, with less). That only happens for the native tasks below, never for `run`.
+
+#### Build and run
+
+```bash
+# App folder: binary + its native libs, in composeApp/build/compose/binaries/main/graalvm-app/
+./gradlew :composeApp:createGraalvmNativeDistributable
+
+# Run that folder's binary directly
+./composeApp/build/compose/binaries/main/graalvm-app/org.spotube.spotube/spotube
+
+# Or build and launch in one step
+./gradlew :composeApp:runGraalvmNativeDistributable
+```
+
+Keep the `spotube` binary next to the `.so`/`.dll`/`lib/` files it was built with; it loads them from its own folder.
+
+#### Installers
+
+Each OS can only build its own installers:
+
+| OS | Command | Output |
+|---|---|---|
+| Linux | `./gradlew :composeApp:packageGraalvmDeb :composeApp:packageGraalvmRpm` (also `packageGraalvmAppImage`) | `composeApp/build/compose/binaries/main/graalvm-{deb,rpm}/` |
+| Windows | `./gradlew :composeApp:packageGraalvmExe` (or `packageGraalvmMsi`) | `composeApp/build/compose/binaries/main/graalvm-exe/` |
+| macOS | `./gradlew :composeApp:packageGraalvmDmg` | `composeApp/build/compose/binaries/main/graalvm-dmg/` |
+
+Add `-Pnightly=true` for the nightly channel (separate icons and name).
+
+#### Reflection metadata (when a feature breaks only in the native build)
+
+A native image is a closed world: anything the app reaches through reflection, JNI or JNA (vlcj, the Zipline/QuickJS plugin engine, NewPipe, ktor, datastore, …) must be declared at build time. Nucleus generates most of this automatically. The rest is in [`composeApp/graalvm/reachability-metadata.json`](composeApp/graalvm/reachability-metadata.json).
+
+If something works in `:composeApp:run` but throws `ClassNotFoundException`, `NoSuchMethodException`, `MissingReflectionRegistrationError` or similar in the native binary, record what's missing:
+
+```bash
+./gradlew :composeApp:runWithNativeAgent
+```
+
+The app starts on the JVM with GraalVM's tracing agent attached. Use the broken feature (and anything near it), then **close the window normally**: the recorded entries are merged into `composeApp/graalvm/` only on a clean exit, not with Ctrl+C. Commit the updated JSON and rebuild the native image.
+
+`./gradlew :composeApp:runGraalvmNative` gives a faster debugging loop: a quick-build (`-Ob`) native image that reports exactly which registration is missing.
+
+Keep the hand-written `uk.co.caprica.vlcj.binding.lib.LibVlc` entry. JNA's direct mapping looks up its `native` methods through reflection, and without the entry, playback fails to initialize.
+
+### Production vs development builds
+
+Production mode is switched on automatically when you ask Gradle for a shippable artifact: any `package*`, `create*`, `notarize*` or `nativeImageCompile` task. You can force it either way with `-Pproduction=true` or `-Pproduction=false`.
+
+| | Development (`run`, debug builds) | Production (installers, native image) |
+|---|---|---|
+| Rust library (desktop) | `debug` profile, fast incremental compile | `release` profile with LTO, single codegen unit, stripped (31 MB → 1.8 MB) |
+| Desktop app | JVM, hot-reloadable | GraalVM native image, `-Os` (size-optimized) |
+| Native libraries | everything on the classpath | only the host OS/CPU's natives; other OSes' and CPUs' libraries are pruned from the uber JAR the image is compiled from |
+| Skia (Skiko) | extracted from the JAR | loaded from `lib/` next to the binary, not embedded a second time |
+| JDK runtime libs (Linux) | n/a | native-image's ~10 KB `libjvm.so`/`libjava.so` shims instead of the JDK's (28 MB `libjvm.so`) |
+
+Android picks the Rust profile from its build type (`debug` or `release`) on its own.
+
+### Releases
+
+Releases are built by [`spotube-release-binary.yml`](.github/workflows/spotube-release-binary.yml), run manually (`workflow_dispatch`) as `stable` or `nightly`. Each desktop platform (Linux x86_64 and aarch64, Windows, macOS) builds its native installers on its own runner. Android builds a signed APK.
