Research direction

Start by running `cargo build` in a fresh checkout and inspect `oxidized-importer/src/lib.rs`, especially its call to `pyembed::PyInit_oxidized_importer()`. Trace where the `PyInit_oxidized_importer` symbol is defined or generated in `pyembed`; done means the fresh checkout builds without the missing-function error.
