Research direction

Start by running `bazel build //main:hello-world --verbose_failures` in `examples/cpp-tutorial/stage1` on macOS 15.1, then inspect `main/BUILD` and `main/hello-world.cc` alongside the reported absolute SDK include paths. Done means the tutorial target builds without absolute path inclusion errors.
