The changes span Darling and 30 of its components, including Metal/Indium, AppKit, QuartzCore, CoreAudio, the kernel shim and darlingserver, with build, install and launch tooling. It is an experimental rehosting layer; playability and frame-rate results are author-reported.",

    "Requires x86-64 Linux 5.14+, X11 or Xwayland, and a hardware Vulkan/OpenGL driver. Only AMD RADV has been exercised; NVIDIA support is unverified. Building needs Git LFS, CMake, Clang/LLD with LLVM development files, Python 3.12+, Darling build dependencies, and at least 50 GB of disk. The experimental Nix flake builds the runtime locally.",
    "Applies patches to Darling and 30 pinned components. Riot and League clients launch and manually played ARAM matches have run; installation through Riot’s interface can stall. The README calls this a development snapshot.",
    "Users supply the League client through Riot’s installer and sign in there. Game files, Riot installers, account data, Apple SDK binaries, and compiled runtimes are excluded from the repository. TESTING.md excludes debuggers, client API calls, hooks, and input automation.",
    "Original tooling is GPL-3.0; patches retain their target files’ licenses, including GPL, LGPL, APSL, BSD, and Apache terms. The README warns that play in this environment can cause suspensions or permanent bans and advises against using it currently."

    "项目为 Darling 及其 30 个固定版本组件应用补丁。Riot 和 League 客户端可以启动，作者曾手动进行 ARAM 对局；通过 Riot 界面安装可能停滞。README 将其称为开发快照。",
    "使用者需通过 Riot 安装程序取得 League 客户端并登录。仓库排除游戏文件、Riot 安装程序、账户数据、Apple SDK 二进制和已编译的运行时。TESTING.md 排除调试器、客户端 API 调用、钩子和输入自动化。",
    "原创工具采用 GPL-3.0；补丁沿用目标文件的许可，包括 GPL、LGPL、APSL、BSD 和 Apache 条款。README 警告在此环境中游玩可能导致暂时或永久封号，目前建议不要使用。"
