Anyone know what this magic is all about?

Honestly not feeling warp-packer downloading executable blobs during runtime either.

It's a placeholder in the final binary that gets replaced by the target application executable file name so Warp knows what to run.

This is a known and established technique. I don't have the link right now (mobile) but .NET Core does something similar for their native deployment, for example.

Good point about the downloading. Warp-packer should have all the warp-runners installed locally with it. Or at the very least they should be packages you install depending on your target platforms.
