* **Disk images** — optional `[archive]` packs FAT12/16/32 images after build
* **Cross-compilation** — short names and full triples
* **Profiles** — debug / release with field overrides
* **Workspaces** — multi-package projects with topological sort
* **Registry + Git + Path** — three dependency mechanisms
* **IDE generation** — VS Code, CLion, compile_commands.json, JSON metadata
* **pkg-config** — automatic system library discovery
