Research direction
This issue requests official binary releases for the Rust project 'sonic'. To implement, research how to set up automated builds and release pipelines in GitHub Actions for Rust projects. Look at existing patterns like cargo dist or manual build scripts. Check if the repository has any CI configuration (e.g., .github/workflows) to understand the current setup. Also, review the comments for any discussion on release criteria or preferred platforms.
