Michael Bolin cd2760fc08 ci: cross-compile Windows Bazel clippy (#20701)
## Why

#20585 moved the Windows Bazel test job to the cross-compile path, but
the Windows Bazel clippy and verify-release-build jobs were still using
the native Windows/MSVC-host fallback. Those two jobs became the slowest
Windows PR legs, even though both are build-only signal and do not need
to execute the resulting binaries.

## What Changed

- Switches the Windows Bazel clippy job from
`--windows-msvc-host-platform` to `--windows-cross-compile`, so clippy
build actions use Linux RBE while still targeting
`x86_64-pc-windows-gnullvm`.
- Switches the Windows Bazel verify-release-build job to
`--windows-cross-compile` as well. This job only compiles
`cfg(not(debug_assertions))` Rust code under `fastbuild`, so it does not
need a native Windows build host.
- Keeps the old `--skip_incompatible_explicit_targets` behavior only for
fork/community PRs without `BUILDBUDDY_API_KEY`, where `run-bazel-ci.sh`
falls back to the local Windows MSVC-host shape.
- Adds `--windows-cross-compile` support to
`.github/scripts/run-bazel-query-ci.sh`, so target-discovery queries
select the same `ci-windows-cross` config as the subsequent build.
- Threads that option through `scripts/list-bazel-clippy-targets.sh` so
the Windows clippy job discovers targets under the same platform shape
as the subsequent clippy build.

## Verification

Local checks:

```shell
bash -n .github/scripts/run-bazel-query-ci.sh
bash -n scripts/list-bazel-clippy-targets.sh
ruby -e 'require "yaml"; YAML.load_file(".github/workflows/bazel.yml"); puts "ok"'
RUNNER_OS=Linux ./scripts/list-bazel-clippy-targets.sh | grep -c -- '-windows-cross-bin$'
RUNNER_OS=Windows ./scripts/list-bazel-clippy-targets.sh --windows-cross-compile | grep -c -- '-windows-cross-bin$'
```

The Linux target-list check reported `0` Windows-cross internal test
binaries, while the Windows cross target-list check reported `47`,
preserving the test-code clippy coverage shape from the existing Windows
job.

Workflow Strategy

The workflows in this directory are split so that pull requests get fast, review-friendly signal while main still gets the full cross-platform verification pass.

Pull Requests

  • bazel.yml is the main pre-merge verification path for Rust code. It runs Bazel test and Bazel clippy on the supported Bazel targets, including the generated Rust test binaries needed to lint inline #[cfg(test)] code.
  • rust-ci.yml keeps the Cargo-native PR checks intentionally small:
    • cargo fmt --check
    • cargo shear
    • argument-comment-lint on Linux, macOS, and Windows
    • tools/argument-comment-lint package tests when the lint or its workflow wiring changes

Post-Merge On main

  • bazel.yml also runs on pushes to main. This re-verifies the merged Bazel path and helps keep the BuildBuddy caches warm.
  • rust-ci-full.yml is the full Cargo-native verification workflow. It keeps the heavier checks off the PR path while still validating them after merge:
    • the full Cargo clippy matrix
    • the full Cargo nextest matrix
    • release-profile Cargo builds
    • cross-platform argument-comment-lint
    • Linux remote-env tests

Rule Of Thumb

  • If a build/test/clippy check can be expressed in Bazel, prefer putting the PR-time version in bazel.yml.
  • Keep rust-ci.yml fast enough that it usually does not dominate PR latency.
  • Reserve rust-ci-full.yml for heavyweight Cargo-native coverage that Bazel does not replace yet.
