Partitions and what they own:
- `:Toolchain` resolves the compiler once per process (`GetToolchain`): clang++, clang, llvm-ar, libclang, libc++'s std module source and the default sysroots, from `CRAFTER_BUILD_LLVM_DIR`, else a toolchain installed beside crafter-build, else PATH. It also holds the version baked in at build time.
- `:Clang` holds `Configuration`, `Build()`, `VariantId()`, `ApplyStandardArgs`, `HostTarget`, the CLI entry point `Crafter::Run`, and the lint and test data types.
- `:Platform` runs commands, implements `LoadProject` (compile and load `project.cpp`), the host PCM cache, `#pragma crafter dependency`, and all OS-specific code.
- `:Interface` and `:Implementation` model module units, their staleness checks and their compiles.

## Dev environment
Prerequisites on Linux: `clang` (with `libclang`, which the AST lint rules load at runtime), `lld`, `libc++` with `/usr/share/libc++/v1/std.cppm`, `cmake`, `git`. Network access to `forgejo.catcrafts.net` and `github.com` is needed: loading `project.cpp` fetches Crafter.Math, Crafter.Asset and Crafter.LintRules into `~/.cache/crafter.build/external/`, and the bootstrap clones glslang. Those sources are unpinned, so every invocation runs `git pull` on them.
