Platform & CUDA

JetPack, CUDA, DDS, and container-toolchain entries — flashing, version pins, and the platform ceiling that drove the JP6.2 rebuild.

📄️Containerize the wheel, don't fight it — a decision, not a fix

Most entries on this site follow Symptom → Root Cause → Fix, because most problems here are genuinely that shape: something broke, here's why, here's the exact command. This one isn't that. Nothing was broken. This is a record of a decision made before anything broke — the kind of judgment call that doesn't show up in a bug report, but shapes everything downstream of it.
