One of the really nice things about having your own developer platform is that we can configure the compiled binary to talk back directly to the server it was downloaded from. To accomplish this, we "statically" pass the executable name, the backend url, and the platform description as arguments to the compilation. That way we can use them not only to generate help and binary info for diagnostic purposes, but we will obviously need the url to connect to the backstage server.
