refactor: split build_files.zig into focused sub-modules (behavior-preserving) - #549
Conversation
…eserving) Pure extraction, mirrors #539/#541. `build_files.zig` was a single ~1165-line module; it is now a 35-line barrel re-exporting the public surface from two cohesive sub-modules under `build_files/`: - build_files/build_zig.zig — build.zig generation (sanitizeExeName, BuildZigOptions, generateBuildZig, emit* helpers, desktopUsesGenericV2, ...) - build_files/build_zig_zon.zig — build.zig.zon generation (BuildZigZonOptions, generateBuildZigZon, deps-link/fallback path, deps_linker re-export, v2BackendDepName, relativePath) Split along the natural build.zig-vs-build.zig.zon seam; no private helper crosses the boundary. Public surface (root.zig call sites) unchanged; every symbol keeps its name and identity. Sub-files are path-@import'd (no build.zig change). `zig build` + `zig build test` green; golden suite zero diff; `zig fmt --check` clean.

Code Review
This pull request refactors src/build_files.zig by splitting the large module into a thin barrel file that re-exports two new sub-modules: src/build_files/build_zig.zig for build.zig generation and src/build_files/build_zig_zon.zig for build.zig.zon generation. The review feedback identifies a potential memory leak in both sub-modules where converting the allocating writer's buffer to an ArrayList could leak memory if a subsequent toOwnedSlice call fails with an out-of-memory error. Adding an errdefer to deinit the ArrayList in both files is recommended to prevent this leak.
Important
The consumer version of Gemini Code Assist on GitHub is being sunset. Starting June 18, 2026, new organization installations will be blocked, and all code review activity will officially cease on July 17, 2026.

When moving the allocating writer's buffer to an ArrayList via toArrayList(), the writer is reset to empty. To prevent memory leaks if the subsequent toOwnedSlice fails with OutOfMemory, an errdefer should be added to deinit the ArrayList.
var arr_list = alloc_writer.toArrayList();
errdefer arr_list.deinit(allocator);
return arr_list.toOwnedSlice(allocator);

Rebuilt onto the six parallel split-refactors (#539-#549): identical semantics, new homes — scanPack verb-copy in root/pack_scan.zig, surface+depends_on emission in build_files/build_zig.zig, the .all diagnostic in plugin_manifest/pack.zig. pack_root/pack_validate/ pack_refs/tests/docs carried verbatim (untouched by the splits). Includes the review fixes from the first head: @"…" escaping on exposed verb idents both sides, token-sequence .exposes = .all detection (exposesAllShorthand), docs aligned with header-only + targeted-diagnostic behavior.
