Description

Most of the time Bazel users generate a ruleset outside of the project the ruleset is for. Exceptions include a) things like GRPC that are natively maintained using Bazel, and b) developer orientated products where the user interface is one of their concerns.

Pavex seems to fall into (b) - and because you've got a big focus on the developer experience, extending that out into users of Bazel, nix, pants2, buck2 and other related build systems will likely be relevant/important.

Because pavex is doing code generation, it -is- going to interact with those systems, as sqlx does (e.g. https://github.com/launchbadge/sqlx/pull/2927 ), and anything outside OSS sphere is IME increasingly likely to use such a system.

Research direction

Start by reviewing Pavex's code-generation workflow and how it would interact with Bazel, Nix, Pants2, Buck2, or similar build systems. The issue does not name files, tests, or a single target; done would first require narrowing this broad proposal to a specific supported system and defined integration scope.
