+//! Cargo path-dependency source tracking for content-hash caching.
+//!
+//! The recipe dep-hash cache (`DepHashes`) covers recipe-level PKGAR
+//! dependencies, and `SourceContentHash` covers the recipe's own source
+//! tree. Neither sees Cargo `path =` dependencies inside a crate — the
+//! exact pattern the local fork model mandates (`redox_syscall`,
+//! `libredox`, `redox-driver-*`, `pcid_interface` are all consumed this
+//! way). Without this module, editing a path-dep's source leaves the
+//! dependent recipe cached and stale (observed: `cook driver-manager -
+//! cached` while `redox-driver-core` sources had changed).
+//!
+//! The resolver below walks each recipe source's `Cargo.toml`
+//! (dependencies, dev/build dependencies, target-specific deps,
+//! `[patch.*]` tables, and workspace members) recursively, and hashes
+//! every resolved path-dep source tree into the stored dep-hash record.
+//! A content change anywhere in a path-dep tree invalidates the recipe.
