ARM support was only mentioned in a parenthesis in the "Physical and Virtual Hosts" section of the compatibility page, and nowhere in the install guides — so it read as if it were a host-only detail.

Changes

  • quick-start/compatibility — new "Supported CPU Architectures" section covering host and container attacks: x86-64 and 64-bit ARM, Graviton / Azure / GCP ARM machine types, Apple Silicon, multi-arch images, packages for both architectures, and mixed-architecture clusters. Container section intro and host section intro now point at it; Windows stays x86-64 only.
  • install-on-linux-hosts — packages published for amd64/x86_64 and arm64/aarch64; same install command on both.
  • install-on-kubernetes — multi-arch images, ARM node groups, mixed clusters, no extra Helm values.
  • install-as-docker-container — multi-arch images (Graviton, Apple Silicon).

Verified against the actual artifacts before writing: ghcr.io/steadybit/{agent,extension-host,extension-container,extension-http,extension-kubernetes} all publish linux/amd64 + linux/arm64, the apt repo advertises Architectures: all amd64 arm64, and the yum repo carries x86_64 and aarch64 RPMs for every package.

python3 .github/scripts/docs_lint.py --base origin/main passes with 0 errors.

ARM support was only mentioned in a parenthesis in the host section of the
compatibility page and nowhere in the install guides, so it was easy to miss.

- add a "Supported CPU Architectures" section to the compatibility page
  covering both container and host attacks, multi-arch images, packages for
  both architectures, and mixed clusters
- note the x86-64/ARM packages on the Linux install page
- note the multi-architecture images on the Kubernetes and Docker Compose
  install pages
- keep Windows marked as x86-64 only
