Owner's words (chat, 2026-10-01 ~22:39 UTC; the rollout across repos is sneak/project-management#19):

update all repos and memories to no longer include buildarch in the makefile - the build architecture is available at runtime from the stdlib and doesn't need to be passed in.

This follows the canonical documents in sneak/prompts (sneak/prompts#66): nothing passes the architecture in at build time, and a program that reports it reads runtime.GOARCH at run time, logged by Identify as "arch", runtime.GOARCH.

Docs only. What to change, on a branch cut from next, PR to next:

CONVENTIONS.md (this repo's copy of the HTTP server conventions): remove Buildarch from the main example near the top, from the globals package example (variable block, struct, New), from "Setting Globals in Main", and the BUILDARCH line and -X main.Buildarch from the Makefile in "Build-Time Variable Injection" (only -X main.Version stays). The logger's Identify example logs "arch", runtime.GOARCH, as pixa's own internal/logger already does. Match the wording sneak/prompts lands for the same passages.

Definition of done:

git grep -i buildarch over the whole branch finds nothing.
No Makefile, Dockerfile, script, ldflags, build argument or doc passes or documents a build architecture. Where the program reports its architecture, it reads runtime.GOARCH at run time. A Buildarch variable or field is removed, not left empty.
make check passes; nothing outside this change is touched.

Model: opus-5-5
