Six Bazel patches from an AI software factory, plus a remote-cache security bug
Bazel models software as a graph of declared work, makes caching and remote execution first-class concepts, and treats reproducibility as part of correctness. Those are the same problems Incredibuild has spent two decades solving from a different layer of the stack. (If you want the full background, start with Bazel, Inside and Out.) It’s also a demanding target. Bazel’s Remote Build Execution (RBE) model is powerful, but adopting it is a real engineering project: hermetic actions, rule coverage, toolchains, platforms, and REAPI infrastructure all have to line up.

Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand
Bazel models software as a graph of declared work, makes caching and remote execution first-class concepts, and treats reproducibility as part of correctness. Those are the same problems Incredibuild has spent two decades solving from a different layer of the stack. (If you want the full background, start with Bazel, Inside and Out.) It’s also a demanding target. Bazel’s Remote Build Execution (RBE) model is powerful, but adopting it is a real engineering project: hermetic actions, rule coverage, toolchains, platforms, and REAPI infrastructure all have to line up. And real repositories rarely live entirely inside a clean action graph. They contain nested Make or Ninja builds, custom compilers, test harnesses, scripts, packaging, code generation, and proprietary tools.
