/// A BuildRequest describes the request of something to be run on the builder.
/// It is distinct from an actual \[Build\] that has already happened, or might be
/// currently ongoing.
///
/// A BuildRequest can be seen as a more normalized version of a Derivation
/// (parsed from A-Term), "writing out" some of the Nix-internal details about
/// how e.g. environment variables in the build are set.
///
/// Nix has some impurities when building a Derivation, for example the --cores option
/// ends up as an environment variable in the build, that's not part of the ATerm.
///
/// As of now, we serialize this into the BuildRequest, so builders can stay dumb.
/// This might change in the future.
///
/// There's also a big difference when it comes to how inputs are modelled:
///
/// * Nix only uses store path (strings) to describe the inputs.
///   As store paths can be input-addressed, a certain store path can contain
///   different contents (as not all store paths are binary reproducible).
///   This requires that for every input-addressed input, the builder has access
///   to either the input's deriver (and needs to build it) or else a trusted
///   source for the built input.
///   to upload input-addressed paths, requiring the trusted users concept.
/// * tvix-build records a list of tvix.castore.v1.Node as inputs.
///   These map from the store path base name to their contents, relieving the
///   builder from having to "trust" any input-addressed paths, contrary to Nix.
///
/// While this approach gives a better hermeticity, it has one downside:
/// A BuildRequest can only be sent once the contents of all its inputs are known.
///
/// As of now, we're okay to accept this, but it prevents uploading an
/// entirely-non-IFD subgraph of BuildRequests eagerly.
