Why
Azazel had enough implementation depth for serious use, but the repository still contained production blockers: the root CLI reimplemented an older subset of the build language,
export.cuesilently dropped supported module fields, the determinism check no longer forced regeneration after codegen memoization was added, package metadata omitted the canonical CLI, the public docs described an obsolete schema, and the shared-cache documentation made a stronger correctness claim than its current key can justify.What this changes
gen_build_spec.shthe single CUE -> Zig generator;azazelnow orchestrates that canonical path rather than reimplementing it.export.cuesooption_valuesandgen_importssurvive into the resolved build model.azazel checkvalidate the full exported module contract, source roots, dependency references, and cycles.AZAZEL_EXPERIMENTAL_CACHE=1, removes the unsupported stale-hit impossibility claim, and includes the Azazel engine/config files in the experimental key.build.zig.zonto ship the canonical CLI and production policy files, and aligns its minimum Zig version with the supported 0.14.1 floor.Production boundary after this PR
Supported: CUE validation -> resolved model -> generated typed spec -> Zig executor, through the canonical CLI/direct generator path on the declared stable Zig lanes.
Experimental: shared remote cache, corpus automation, IDE prototypes, and Danzig as dogfood/integration workload.
Follow-up production work
Existing large-project roadmap issues #16, #18, #20, and #22 remain relevant to full build-graph replacement.
