+# openfut-hook is a Windows-only version.dll proxy injected into the FIFA client.
+# It MUST build with its own [profile.release] (panic="abort" — unwinding across
+# the DllMain/FFI boundary into the game process is UB — plus strip + opt-level="s").
+# Cargo ignores a non-root member's profile and forbids per-package `panic` overrides,
+# so the hook is deliberately EXCLUDED from this workspace to build as its own root
+# (this also lands its artifact in openfut-hook/target/, matching the launcher's
+# config.rs default hook_dll_path). Build: cargo build --release --target x86_64-pc-windows-gnu.
