Zig 0.15 removed the option shape build.zig was using:
error: no field named 'root_source_file' in struct
'Build.ExecutableOptions'
Target and optimize now live on a module created with b.createModule,
which is passed as .root_module. addStaticLibrary and addSharedLibrary
are folded into addLibrary with an explicit .linkage.
This turned out to be forward-compatible rather than a cutover: 0.14.1
already accepts the newer API, and only 0.15 removed the older one. So
build.zig now works on both, verified at 13/13 build steps and 56/56
tests on each. CI runs a matrix over both versions so that stays true
rather than being assumed.
No source changes were needed. 0.15's std.Io rework does not reach
azazel, whose suites are pure computation.

Worth stating clearly, because it changes how the rest of the migration should be approached: 0.14.1 already accepts the newer API. Only 0.15 removed the older one. So
build.zignow works on both.CI runs a matrix over both so that compatibility stays verified rather than assumed.

std.Iorework ("writergate") does not reach azazel. Its suites are pure computation with no IO surface. danzig and zaza may differ, and will be handled separately.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
