Apologies for taking so long to get back to this. LGTM, and we're happy to merge this. Note, however, that we've been working on container-based architecture and don't plan to invest further in our debian-based deploy system.

Removes forced amd64 cross-compilation. Builds now run natively for the host architecture.
This is a focused subset of #8389, extracting only the changes needed for native ARM builds without CI workflow modifications.
The upstream CI currently runs on amd64 only. A future PR can add parallel arm64 runners to produce multi-platform binaries and container images.
Changes
tools/container-build.sh: Detect host architecture instead of forcing amd64 on ARM.Containerfile: AddTARGETPLATFORMarg for correct Go binary download.tools/make-deb.sh: AcceptARCHfrom caller for deb packaging.ARCHenv var is now required.amd64/arm64(previouslyx86_64)..from tar command..githubto.dockerignoreand build artifact patterns to.gitignore.Testing
Native builds work on both architectures:
Cross-compilation via QEMU is not supported (Go assembler segfaults under emulation). For multi-platform binaries, use native runners for each architecture.
