/**
 * Main logic for experimental config-stripped execution paths:
 * https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/6526.
 *
 * <p>The actions executors run look like: {@code tool_pkg/mytool src/source.file
 * bazel-out/x86-opt/pkg/gen.file -o bazel-out/x86-opt/pkg/myout}.
 *
 * <p>The "x86-opt" part is a path's "configuration prefix": information describing the build
 * configuration of the action creating the artifact. This example shows artifacts created with
 * {@code --cpu=x86 --compilation_mode=opt}.
 *
 * <p>Executors cache actions based on their a) command line, b) input and output paths, c) input
 * digests. Configuration prefixes harm caching because even if an action behaves exactly the same
 * for different CPU architectures, {@code <cpu>-opt} guarantees the paths will differ.
 *
 * <p>Config-stripping is an experimental feature that strips the configuration prefix from
 * qualifying actions before running them, thus improving caching. "Qualifying" actions are actions
 * known not to depend on the names of their input and output paths. Non-qualifying actions include
 * manifest generators and compilers that store debug symbol source paths.
 *
 * <p>As an experimental feature, most logic is centralized here to provide easy hooks into executor
 * code and avoid complicating large swaths of the code base. "Qualifying" actions are determined by
 * {@code --experimental_path_agnostic_action}. As this feature stabilizes, rule definitions can
 * more directly own their integration, particularly declaring which of their actions qualify and
 * where paths appear in their command lines.
