// (in `metadata.json#interface_dependencies`) decoupled from any concrete
// module. The definition file is either a `.lidl` or a pure-C++ `.h` (the
// module's own language). The generator emits a BOUND wrapper class — the
// target module name is a runtime ctor argument, not baked in — so one
// interface can be bound to any module that satisfies it.

// A single interface to generate a bound wrapper for. `path` is already
// resolved (nix resolves local `${src}/file` and remote `${input}/file`
// store paths and passes them via --interface; the generator never touches
// flake inputs). `implClass` is required for `.h` files, empty for `.lidl`.

// occurrences. Names and store paths contain no '=', so splitting on the
// first two '=' is unambiguous. Used for both `--interface` (runtime-bound
