A module's runtime image was assembled by a script copying the sdk and the tool
runtime out of neighbouring checkouts, so it could only be built on a workstation
that had them. That is why no module declared what it was made of and why
forty-seven point at a placeholder.
The tool runtime becomes an image a module's runtime is built FROM, published like
any other artifact. The module then builds from its own directory and that base —
one clone, which is what the builder can actually be asked for (novox/hq ADR 0069).
The dependency stops being a property of somebody's machine and becomes a build
edge, pinned to a digest the mesh's registry assigned.
The compiler is invoked by its real path rather than through node_modules/.bin:
those are symlinks to a launcher that requires its library relatively, and
resolving them while building the base leaves a launcher pointing at nothing.
