Overview

Command bufa is the "Build for Adults" build-system CLI.

bufa [<dir>...]               # shorthand for "bufa build [<dir>...]"
bufa (build | b) [<dir>...]   # build directories in isolation
bufa (dirty | d) [<dir>...]   # build in place in the source tree
bufa gc [<dir>]            # garbage-collect the build store
bufa check [<dir>]         # verify build store and global artifact cache integrity
bufa hash <path>           # print the content hash of a file or directory
bufa nuke [<dir>]          # stop the watcher daemon and delete the entire build dir
bufa daemon stop [<dir>]   # stop the watcher daemon and the global name server
bufa daemon reset [<dir>]  # restart the watcher daemon and name server with empty caches

The internal watcher-serve mode stays outside the main kong grammar: Daemon.Connect self-spawns "bufa --daemon <sockPath> <srcDir> [<idle>] [--log-level LEVEL]", dispatched on the raw args to the parallel daemonCLI grammar, so it never appears in help.
