April 2025 – bytedance-iaas/dynamo: Dynamo Run Documentation and Build Instructions Update. Updated run documentation for clarity, specified the correct binary for built backends, reformatted the document structure for easier maintenance, and added the missing CMake library for Ubuntu to ensure smooth instructions for running Dynamo. These changes reduce onboarding time, minimize run-time configuration issues, and improve developer productivity across platforms. Demonstrates strong documentation practices, cross-platform build awareness (Ubuntu), and disciplined version-control usage.
