Crafter.LintRules declares a test that links crafter-build, fetched
with GitProject. crafter-build's own project.cpp loads Crafter.LintRules
as a `#pragma crafter dependency`, so the chain was: crafter-build loads
LintRules, LintRules' test wiring loads crafter-build's project.cpp from
the external cache, which loads LintRules again, and the cycle guard
threw. Every command that loads project.cpp in this repository has
failed since that test was added, including the last CI run on master.
A project file had no way to tell whether it was the one the user
pointed crafter-build at or a dependency being loaded for somebody
else, so it could not skip wiring that only its own build needs.
IsTopLevelProject() answers that from the loading-frame stack
ProjectDependency() already reads: one frame is the top-level project
file, a second is only ever pushed for a dependency. Outside any project
file it is true as well, which is what a test harness constructing
Configurations expects.
The ProjectDependency test records the answer from both the app and the
greeter project files and checks each.

Brings in `#pragma crafter dependency`, the switch to Crafter.LintRules
for the house style, and the contributor guide in AGENTS.md.
The branch predates the musl host work on master, and both rewrote the
command that compiles project.so, so the merge reconciles them by hand:
- LoadProject compiles project.so for hostConfig.target (HostTarget(),
from master) with the pre-dependency module path and archives from
the branch. -fuse-ld=lld appears once, with both reasons in the
comment.
- ForceHostTooling added -fPIC only for the literal x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
triple. hostConfig now comes from HostTarget(), so on Alpine the host
is x86_64-alpine-linux-musl and the dependency archive would not have
been position-independent. It now matches any *-linux-gnu or
*-linux-musl host, as project.cpp and the cmake flags do since the
musl change, and its comment no longer argues against HostTarget().
- The ProjectDependency test compared the dependency's target against
the glibc triple, which the musl CI job would fail; it compares
against HostTarget().
- README keeps master's paragraph on the bootstrap triple. AGENTS.md
describes the test block as `if (linuxTarget)`, which is what
project.cpp has now.

A project.cpp could only import std and Crafter.Build, so anything shared
between build descriptions had to be a header every consumer copies. Now
#pragma crafter dependency "<source>" [branch "<b>" | commit "<sha>"] [project "<file>"]
names a sibling crafter-build project that project.cpp itself imports a
module from. LoadProject scans for the directive, resolves it through
GitProject (a URL) or LocalProject (a path relative to the project file),
forces the result into host-tooling mode (the host triple LoadProject's
own cache is keyed on, native march, no debug, -fPIC so the archive links
into a shared object), builds it, and puts its BMIs and archive on the
project.so command line. The dependency's own project.cpp goes through
the same loader, so its directives resolve recursively; a cycle between
project files is an error instead of unbounded recursion.
The dependency is built on every load, fresh or not: clang crashes rather
than erroring when it imports a BMI whose own imported PCM was rebuilt
underneath it, and the module depfile — which Module::Check already reads —
is what notices the host PCM cache was regenerated. Its artifact mtime is
an input to project.so's staleness check, so editing the dependency
recompiles project.cpp without touching it. The Linux link gains
-fuse-ld=lld because release archives hold ThinLTO bitcode.
ProjectDependency(name) hands the same Configuration* back from inside
CrafterBuildProject, by configuration name or exported module name, so a
test that links the module needn't spell the source twice. It reads a
thread_local frame stack that an RAII guard keeps for the whole of
LoadProject, which also provides the cycle check.
ExpectedOutput() is the link gate's artifact-path lambda hoisted into the
:Clang partition, so the staleness check and the -r runner share the one
rule. Windows branches are wired identically but unverified.
