I found the docs on precise-builds and it seems like it probably will result in smaller builds based on this description. But the docs on github-custom-runners don't seem to show options for runner and host, but maybe they just aren't documented well?

# Extra CI steps injected into the build job before `dist build`.
# sift_cli's build.rs invokes `mdbook build`, so mdbook must be on PATH.
github-build-setup = "includes/build-setup.yml"

# Build the Intel macOS binary on an arm64 runner. The M-series runners are
# much faster than the Intel `macos-*-intel` pool, and Rosetta 2 runs any
# x86_64 build-time helper binaries.

runner = "macos-15"
host = "aarch64-apple-darwin"
