Feature: Optimize Makefile to Build for Current OS/Arch by Default

[ani1609]

🔖 Feature description

Currently, the Makefile builds binaries for all supported OS and architecture combinations (Windows, Linux, macOS — amd64, arm64, etc.) when running make build. This results in unnecessary builds during local development, especially when the developer only needs the binary for their current platform.

🎤 Pitch

In my use case, as a developer working on macOS, I don't need .exe or Linux binaries when building and testing locally. However, the current setup builds all of them every time, which slows down development and adds clutter in the bin/ directory.

This feature would significantly improve developer experience by:

• Reducing local build time
• Avoiding unnecessary artifacts
• Making the build process more relevant and efficient during development

At the same time, it still allows full cross-compilation in CI pipelines where it's actually required.

✌️ Solution

I want this feature to:

• Default the Makefile to build only for the developer’s current OS and architecture
• Support optional GOOS and GOARCH environment variables to allow cross-compilation when needed (e.g., in CI)
