Integrating with ease: Leveraging BuildStream interaction with Bazel build
summary
Demonstrates a working integration where BuildStream constructs reproducible toolchains and invokes Bazel via a Bazel build element plugin, sharing cache through the RE API and CAS, and using cquery output to capture all inputs. Shows BuildStream building Bazel itself, producing a bootable VM image from a free-desktop-SDK-derived toolchain, and running a Bazel-built app; demo completes successfully. Notes scale from ~500 components to hundreds of thousands and strict sandboxing that enforces network-free, input-identity based artifacts.
