Main Dockerfile moves to ubuntu:24.04 (Noble LTS); skiplang/Dockerfile moves to debian:trixie-20260518-slim. The trixie jump raises the minimum glibc for libskipruntime.so binary releases from 2.36 to 2.41, dropping support for Bookworm-era systems (Debian 12, Ubuntu 22.04, RHEL 8/9). Also update LLVM apt repo codenames (jammy → noble in apt-install.sh, bookworm → trixie in skiplang/Dockerfile), and add --break-system-packages to the pip install in apt-install.sh since Ubuntu 24.04 enforces PEP 668.

libskipruntime.so is now built on Debian Trixie (glibc 2.41). Detect the host glibc via ldd and refuse to install on older systems with a message pointing to @skipruntime/wasm, rather than letting the user discover the incompatibility at dlopen time via an opaque "GLIBC_2.41 not found" error.

Add a Requirements section to the addon README pointing users on older hosts at @skipruntime/wasm, and update the release procedure to require release notes state the glibc floor and to verify it via objdump. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Add os/cpu/libc to package.json so npm refuses installation on Windows/macOS, ia32/non-amd64-arm64, and musl-based hosts that cannot load libskipruntime.so. When this package is installed via the @skiplabs/skip meta-package as an optionalDependency, npm will then silently skip it on incompatible hosts and the consumer falls back to @skipruntime/wasm.

README, INSTALL, and the getting-started doc all describe the native vs wasm runtime trade-off but said nothing about platform support. Note the Linux amd64/arm64 + glibc >= 2.41 floor so users on Windows, macOS, or older Linux distros are steered to @skipruntime/wasm up front rather than hitting it at npm install / dlopen time.
