Self-Review Checklist: - [x] I've reviewed my own diff for quality, security, and reliability - [ ] Unsafe blocks (if any) have justifying comments (N/A — docs only) - [x] The content is consistent with the [UI/UX checklist](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#uiux-checklist) - [ ] Tests cover the new/changed behavior (N/A — docs only) - [x] Performance impact has been considered and is acceptable Documents the `llvm-objcopy --strip-debug` step that `script/bundle-linux` runs after `cargo build`. Without it, self-built `remote_server` binaries are ~462 MB instead of ~62 MB and behave differently from the prebuilt downloads. Two contributors converged on the same fix in the issue thread; this PR is a docs-only version of their suggestion, plus the musl/static variant that `script/bundle-linux` actually uses for the official Linux release. Closes #56939 Release Notes: - N/A AI was used for assistance. Co-authored-by: Matt Van Horn <455140+mvanhorn@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Lukas Wirth <lukas@zed.dev>
