PipeCraft: CMake/Ninja Build Orchestrator

Developers find it hard to enforce one‑directional communication between build stages when using CMake alongside Ninja, limiting pipeline control and optimization. PipeCraft solves this by embedding CMake as a library within a unified orchestration layer that manages Ninja tasks, enabling clean, unidirectional pipelines and dynamic build optimizations.

Comment on: Faster Than Ninja

> I want the build stages to communicate in one direction for sanityThat's easy to do if you control the whole pipeline and can integrate all the features together, not so much with the CMake model unfortunately. I think it would be nice if CMake had Ninja integrated as a library, it could lead to some nice optimizations later.
