Description
# 🐞 bug report
## Affected Rule
The issue is caused by the bzlmod module extension pip in the pip.default / pip.parse tag handling in:
- python/private/pypi/extension.bzl (`build_config()`)
- python/private/pypi/parse_requirements.bzl (MacOS, `_package_srcs()`)
- python/private/pypi/hub_builder.bzl (Ubuntu, `_evaluate_markers()`)
### Is this a regression?
No.
### Description
When pip.default() is called from a non-root Bazel module (a dependency module), it is ignored while building the pip extension config. At the same time, pip.parse() in that dependency module is still processed and can create a hub repo that the consumer can use transitively.
This makes it impossible (or very confusing) for a dependency module to ship a reusable pip.parse() hub that relies on custom platforms defined by that same module’s pip.default().
#### Expected behavior
pip.default() platform definitions from a dependency module are applied at least for that module’s own pip.parse() tags.
#### Actual behavior
- pip.default() from dependency modules is ignored.
- pip.parse() from dependency modules is processed.
- If pip.parse() needs a custom platform, evaluation will fail with an error.
- Workaround today: the root module must re-declare the same platforms in its own pip.default().
