release metadata does not support target

Error message

{label} release metadata does not support target '{target}'

What it means

The requested target triple is not part of the expected target set for this release extension kind. verify_release_extension checks membership in expected_targets before parsing the extension metadata, so unsupported platform requests fail fast.

Solutions

1. Use a target triple listed in the extension's expected_targets
2. Check whether the correct extension kind (musl vs windows) applies to your platform
3. Fix the release metadata so it declares support for the target
4. Choose a different release/channel that supports the target

if !expected_targets.contains(&target) {
    eprintln!("{label} does not support {target}; allowed: {expected_targets:?}");
}

fn extension_supports(expected: &[&str], target: &str) -> bool {
    expected.contains(&target)
}

if let Err(e) = verify_release_extension(&bytes, &pointer, target, kind, expected, label) {
    eprintln!("unsupported target for this extension: {e}");
}

When it happens

Trigger: verify_musl_extension or verify_windows_extension (via resolve_target_blake3) called with a target triple not present in expected_targets — e.g. requesting a musl extension for a non-musl triple, or a target the release metadata never declared.

Common situations: Requesting a windows extension for a linux triple; a target added to the channel but not to the extension's allowed list; misconfigured release metadata from the publisher.

Understand the failure class

Background: UnsupportedOperationException and "is not supported" errors: when a library deliberately refuses a call — this error's family across 30 libraries.
