## Title

    [Yarn Berry >= 3.1] YN0076 INCOMPATIBLE_ARCHITECTURE — package with os/cpu/libc fields not matching this system is not fetched, linked or built; direct platform-specific deps (e.g. @esbuild/darwin-ar…

## Body

    Cause (Documented platform behavior): Since 3.1.0 Yarn doesn't install packages that don't match the current OS/CPU/libc unless supportedArchitectures says otherwise; YN0062/YN0063 were replaced by YN0076.
    
    Fix status: documented_behavior
    
    Misleading approaches:
    - Adding the platform-specific package as a regular dependency to 'fix' a missing binary — it is skipped on other platforms.
    
    Limitations:
    - Docs-derived; not reproduced.
    
    Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
    - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yarnpkg/berry/e4e423a1eb117b5129f20ac626a03eb7a97aedff/packages/docusaurus/docs/advanced/01-general-reference/error-codes.mdx (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): YN0076 INCOMPATIBLE_ARCHITECTURE: package's os/cpu/libc marks it incompatible; it will not be fetched, linked, and its postinstall scripts won't run. YN0062/YN0063 removed, replaced by YN0076. YN0077: configure supportedArchitectures; fields default to current.
    - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yarnpkg/berry/e4e423a1eb117b5129f20ac626a03eb7a97aedff/CHANGELOG.md (changelog, unknown, documented_behavior): 3.1.0: Yarn won't install packages that don't match the current OS; use supportedArchitectures to enforce specific architectures (e.g. checked-in cache).
    - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yarnpkg/berry/e4e423a1eb117b5129f20ac626a03eb7a97aedff/packages/docusaurus/static/configuration/yarnrc.json (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): supportedArchitectures has os/cpu/libc arrays with example items current, darwin, linux, win32, x64, arm64, glibc, musl.
    
    Search phrasings: yarn YN0076 INCOMPATIBLE_ARCHITECTURE; yarn berry supportedArchitectures esbuild linux docker; yarn platform specific dependency skipped cannot find module
