[bazel] Improve runfiles handling (#10098)
we can't use runfiles directory on Windows due to path lengths, so swap
to manifest strategy. Parsing the manifest is a bit complex and the
format is changing in Bazel upstream, so pull in the official Rust
library (via a small hack to make it importable...) and cleanup all the
associated logic to work cleanly in both bazel and cargo without extra
confusion

codex-utils-cargo-bin runfiles strategy

We disable the directory-based runfiles strategy and rely on the manifest strategy across all platforms. This avoids Windows path length issues and keeps behavior consistent in local and remote builds on all platforms. Bazel sets RUNFILES_MANIFEST_FILE, and the codex-utils-cargo-bin helpers use the runfiles crate to resolve runfiles via that manifest.

Function behavior:

  • cargo_bin: reads CARGO_BIN_EXE_* environment variables (set by Cargo or Bazel) and resolves them via the runfiles manifest when RUNFILES_MANIFEST_FILE is present. When not under runfiles, it only accepts absolute paths from CARGO_BIN_EXE_* and returns an error otherwise.
  • find_resource!: used by tests to locate fixtures. It chooses the Bazel runfiles resolution path when RUNFILES_MANIFEST_FILE is set, otherwise it falls back to a CARGO_MANIFEST_DIR-relative path for Cargo runs.

Background:
