The previous approach downloaded standalone binaries from GitHub Releases, which don't include NAPI native dependencies like `@altimateai/altimate-core`. This caused v0.5.10 to silently fail (graceful degradation to regex-only mode). Switch to `npm install -g altimate-code` which is the officially supported install method. npm correctly resolves all dependencies including the platform-specific NAPI binaries via the wrapper package. Benefits: - Matches the documented install method in the README - Automatically gets `@altimateai/altimate-core` and platform binaries - No more architecture/OS detection shell logic - No more GitHub API calls for version resolution - Simpler action.yml (removed ~40 lines of download/extract/cache logic) Trade-off: npm install takes ~10s vs cached binary lookup (~0s on cache hit). The cache step was removed since npm has its own caching and the install is fast enough for CI. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
