+"""
+Build backend for gpt-oss that supports two modes:
+
+1) Default (pure wheel for PyPI)
+   - Delegates to setuptools.build_meta.
+   - Produces a py3-none-any wheel so PyPI accepts it (no linux_x86_64 tag).
+
+2) Optional Metal/C extension build (local only)
+   - If the environment variable GPTOSS_BUILD_METAL is set to a truthy value
+     (1/true/on/yes), delegates to scikit_build_core.build.
+   - Dynamically injects build requirements (scikit-build-core, cmake, ninja,
+     pybind11) only for this mode.
+
+Why this is needed
+- PyPI rejects Linux wheels tagged linux_x86_64; manylinux/musllinux is required
+  for binary wheels. We ship a pure wheel by default, but still allow developers
+  to build/install the native Metal backend locally when needed.
+
+Typical usage
+- Publish pure wheel: `python -m build` (do not set GPTOSS_BUILD_METAL).
+- Local Metal dev: `GPTOSS_BUILD_METAL=1 pip install -e ".[metal]"`.
+- CI: keep GPTOSS_BUILD_METAL unset for releases; set it in internal jobs that
+  exercise the extension.
+
+Notes
+- The base package remains importable without the extension. The Metal backend
+  is only used when `gpt_oss.metal` is explicitly imported.
+- This file is discovered via `backend-path = ["_build"]` and
+  `build-backend = "gpt_oss_build_backend.backend"` in pyproject.toml.
