…nted last For local development: build retro-core-runner for the host OS and hand it to a port or app as an explicit runner (--runner, RETRO_CORE_RUNNER). Release by default (--debug), copied with LICENSE into out/local/<platform>/, stamped "version dev" with the git commit (+ -dirty for modified tracked files). - SDL3 optional, found as CMakeLists.txt finds it; --sdl3-prefix names one, --no-sdl goes without. The output says whether --gl is available. A shared SDL3 from outside the system library directories is copied beside the runner, found through RUNPATH $ORIGIN (Linux) / @loader_path (macOS), set by installing through CMAKE_INSTALL_RPATH. Windows copies SDL3.dll. - Kept from package-release.sh: static libstdc++/libgcc on Linux, /MT on Windows. Not kept: its gates, the pinned SDL3, 7z, a required version. - The copy's --version must run and say game_package 1 (and version dev, the expected commit) before RETRO_CORE_RUNNER=<abs path> is printed as the last stdout line. Build output goes to stderr. - A build dir reconfigured with other SDL/generator choices starts afresh. - .ps1: enters Visual Studio's dev shell via vswhere when cl.exe is missing; Ninja if on PATH, else the VS generator. Verified on Linux x86_64 only. The macOS path of build-local.sh and all of build-local.ps1 are unrun (the .ps1 parses under pwsh 7.4 and refuses non-Windows hosts).

… 1.1) and #2 (build-local) runner_main.cpp: keep main's pkg_sha (declared outside the package block, for the state keeper) and --describe's exemption from the package requirement. build-local.sh --test: 18/18; --describe on n64lle's generic core with the Pokemon Stadium package prints 76 options and 16 inputs.
