Research direction

Start with docs/library-distribution.md and the library definitions in the Bazel and CMake builds, using PR #1420's review context. Record the delivered libraries and expected dependency DAG, then compare both build systems against it. Done means the documentation is complete and Bazel and CMake deliver the same libraries and dependencies.
