CMake Error at cmake/Findllvm.cmake:30 (message):
expected LLVM 21.x but found 20.1.8 using /usr/lib/llvm/20/bin/llvm-config
Call Stack (most recent call first):
CMakeLists.txt:136 (find_package)
```
We revert the update for now and we keep 0.16.0 as `zig-bin`

Research direction

Start with cmake/Findllvm.cmake and CMakeLists.txt:136, using the reported dev-lang/zig-0.16.0 build log. Check how the package handles the LLVM 21.x requirement when LLVM 20.1.8 is installed. Done means resolving that requirement or confirming why 0.16.0 must remain available only as zig-bin.
