Problem

The published auto-review-0.8.0-linux-x86_64 artifact contains an auto-review shell wrapper instead of a self-contained runnable binary. After extraction, executing it fails because the wrapper points at Nix store paths that are not present on the target machine.

Observed behavior

$ ls
auto-review

$ ./auto-review
./auto-review: line 4: /nix/store/dh2swi6zfl7fzxpa9s4wpjdmlkmfak8x-ar-cli-0.8.0/bin/auto-review: No such file or directory

$ cat auto-review
#! /nix/store/i27rhb3nr65rkrwz36bchkwmav6ggsmn-bash-5.3p9/bin/bash -e
export AR_GATEWAY_EMBEDDED_OCI_BUNDLE_PATH=${AR_GATEWAY_EMBEDDED_OCI_BUNDLE_PATH-'/nix/store/s98gp341najwlwggpmmc3kw7ki5zgfzq-embedded-gateway-oci-rootfs'}
export AR_GATEWAY_EMBEDDED_OCI_RUNTIME_PATH=${AR_GATEWAY_EMBEDDED_OCI_RUNTIME_PATH-'/nix/store/yznzmpld1sbpc9cajf9s9azl9y44b5z8-youki-0.6.0/bin/youki'}
exec "/nix/store/dh2swi6zfl7fzxpa9s4wpjdmlkmfak8x-ar-cli-0.8.0/bin/auto-review"  "$@"

Expected behavior

The Linux x86_64 binary release archive should contain runnable binaries or a complete runtime closure that works after download/extraction on a supported host.

Notes

This likely needs release packaging validation that executes the extracted artifact outside the build-time Nix store assumptions.
