Research direction

Start at multitool/private/lockfile.bzl#L41 and inspect how the supported x86_64 and arm64 platforms are selected. Trace the related platform and tool-resolution logic to determine what i386 support would require. Done means documenting the reason for the current limitation and identifying the complete change and validation scope.

Description

Is there a reason not to support it?

This seems to suggest that only x86_64 and arm64 are supported: https://github.com/bazel-contrib/rules_multitool/blob/main/multitool/private/lockfile.bzl#L41
