chore(build): finish the .fbuild ratchet — baseline reaches zero

[zackees]

Closes #1349.

Seventh and final ratchet batch. Allowlist 15 → 3, and all three that
remain are sanctioned definition sites.

fbuild-build's twelve files — compile_many plus eleven integration suites —
assembled <root>/.fbuild/build/<env>/<profile> by hand. They now build it
from FBUILD_DIR_NAME / BUILD_DIR_NAME.

A deliberate compromise

The more principled fixture here is BuildLayout::resolve() — the actual
production resolver, which would make these tests track the real layout
including the <env> collapse and the FBUILD_BUILD_DIR override.

I did not use it. These are #[ignore]d toolchain-downloading suites that
cannot run on this machine, and switching them to resolve() changes what
they compute, not just how it is spelled. Making an unverifiable behavioral
change to tests I cannot execute is not a trade worth taking for elegance. The
literal is gone either way; moving them onto the real resolver is a separate
change for someone who can run them.

The acceptance criteria

• dylints/ban_raw_fbuild_path lint crate exists, wired into the dylint CI gate
• Baseline allowlist checked in; count recorded
• Allowlist reaches zero (or only fbuild-paths definition sites remain)

48 → 0. Every legacy site is gone. What remains, each with its rationale
inline in the file:

file	why it cannot be removed
fbuild-paths/src/lib.rs	the source of truth
fbuild-core/src/path.rs	where the const is declared — fbuild-paths depends on fbuild-core, not the reverse, and compile_cwd_from_output / response_file need the segment
fbuild-cli/src/cli/args.rs	clap stringifies /// help into literals attributed to the #[derive]; no expression edit can clear it, only deleting help a user reads

The baseline section is kept rather than deleted, so the next person to reach
for it sees it was closed on purpose rather than never opened.

What the ratchet actually found

Worth recording, because "replace a literal with a const" undersells it. Across
seven batches the sweep surfaced real defects, not just spellings:

• Five deploy tool resolvers disagreed with fbuild-paths on what dev mode
  is (var_os(..).is_some() vs == "1"), so FBUILD_DEV_MODE=0 sent managed
  tools to the dev tree while everything else stayed in prod (chore(paths): route fbuild-deploy tool paths through fbuild-paths #1383).
• response_file resolved the home directory itself, preferring HOME over
  USERPROFILE — under Git Bash that is an MSYS path native GCC cannot open,
  which is the exact failure windows_temp_dir exists to prevent (chore(paths): settle where .fbuild is declared, and ratchet five more sites #1385).
• Two daemon diagnostics pointed at paths that do not exist — one dropped
  the dev/prod segment entirely (chore(daemon): make daemon diagnostics name real paths, ratchet six sites #1387).
• The dev-mode notice hardcoded port 8865, which has not been the port
  since daemon: endpoint isolation follow-up to #940 — key the default endpoint by cache-identity/checkout + deterministic version arbitration #1009 made it version-derived (chore(cli): route fbuild-cli through fbuild-paths; document the clap exception #1393).
• The libraries install-state note described a layout BuildLayout may
  collapse or FBUILD_BUILD_DIR may replace outright (chore(daemon): make daemon diagnostics name real paths, ratchet six sites #1387, via review).

Every one of those compiled fine and would have stayed wrong indefinitely.

Verification

• dylint --lib ban_raw_fbuild_path -- --workspace --all-targets: 0
  findings, re-run after rebasing onto merged chore(build-engine): build test fixtures from the canonical path segments #1394
• soldr cargo test -p fbuild-build --lib: 16 passed
• workspace clippy -D warnings: clean
• Lint crate 0.1.6 → 0.1.7

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The changes replace hardcoded .fbuild/build path segments in build tests with shared fbuild_paths constants. The raw-path lint package version increases, and its allowlist records that the legacy baseline is empty.

Changes

Canonical path migration

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Build test path construction crates/fbuild-build/src/compile_many.rs, crates/fbuild-build/tests/*	Build, firmware, fingerprint, log, compile database, archive, and incremental-build paths now use shared fbuild directory-name constants.
Raw-path lint baseline update dylints/ban_raw_fbuild_path/Cargo.toml, dylints/ban_raw_fbuild_path/src/allowlist.txt	The lint crate version changes to 0.1.7. The allowlist removes legacy entries and documents an empty baseline.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 6ca8a

The PR replaces hand-built build paths with shared constants across the build tests. One test still hardcodes the final "build" segment, creating a small consistency risk if that constant changes; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains.
