One goal of the builder protocol is to not be too tied to the Nix implementation
itself, allowing it to be used for other builds/workloads in the future.
This means the builder protocol is versatile enough to express the environment a
Nix build expects, while not being aware of "what any of this means".
For example, it is not aware of how certain environment variables are set in a
nix build, but allows specifying environment variables that should be set.
It's also not aware of what nix store paths are. Instead, it allows:
- specifying a list of paths expected to be produced during the build
- specifying a list of castore root nodes to be present in a specified
`inputs_dir`.
- specifying which paths are write-able during build.
In case all specified paths are produced, and the command specified in
`command_args` succeeds, the build is considered to be successful.
This happens to be sufficient to *also* express how Nix builds works.
Check `build/protos/build.proto` for a detailed description of the individual
fields, and the tests in `glue/src/tvix_build.rs` for some examples.
