All Recipe Types

must supports 41 recipe types across 17 languages plus 20 bridge tools. Each recipe type knows how to invoke the right toolchain, compute cache keys, and handle errors.

Common fields

All recipes support:

[recipe.<name>]
type    = "..."          # required
deps    = ["dep1"]       # optional dependencies
env     = { KEY = "val" }  # optional env vars
phony   = false           # optional: always re-run
