Profiles and builds

Every runtime selection has a profile and a build. They solve different problems.

Profiles

Profile	Includes	Use it for
standard	Complete runtime CLI and plugin experience	Normal development and deployment
minimal	Run-only surface	Small, fixed execution environments

Builds

Build	Compiler	Tradeoff
normal	Standard Go	Fastest runtime choice
tiny	TinyGo	Smaller binary

“Minimal” chooses what the runtime includes. “Tiny” chooses how Wago compiles it. You can combine either profile with either build.

Install a variant

wago version install --canary \
  --profile standard \
  --build normal \
  --use

For a small run-only tool:

wago version install --nightly \
  --profile minimal \
  --build tiny \
  --use

Switch variants

wago version switch canary --profile standard --build normal

wago version current reports all three parts: version, profile, and build.
