Resolved Kotlin/Native debugging requirement for LLDB binaries and addressed several Gradle plugin issues, including shadowed Gson detection, dependency‑locking failures, and Android lint warnings in multiplatform projects.
Updated packaging checksums and added new native binary distributions for Linux, macOS (x86_64 and aarch64), and Windows.
