The top-level Makefile is a thin wrapper over cargo. Nix provides the toolchain and every system dependency; inside a Nix shell you do not need a system Rust install.

Quick reference

nix develop                 # enter dev shell (installs pre-commit hooks)
make                        # debug build of the full workspace
make release                # release build
make test                   # cargo nextest — all crates
make lint                   # clippy -D warnings
make bench                  # criterion benches
make clap                   # bundle the CLAP plugin
make au                     # AU via clap-wrappers (macOS only)
make vst3                   # VST3 via clap-wrappers
make ffi                    # cdylib + generated C header
make wasm                   # WASM target for uify-ffi
make docs-check             # validate docs frontmatter + rebuild index
make header                 # regenerate include/uify.h
make clean                  # cargo clean + remove result*

Without Nix

rustup toolchain install 1.83
make                        # picks up rust-toolchain.toml

You will need to install system dependencies manually (ONNX Runtime, platform camera headers). See platform.
