Rust finalizes the rootfs and invokes its native deterministic tar writer to archive it, excluding Hasher's internal `.host` and `.fakedata` directories. The archive records normalized numeric ownership and timestamps; ACLs and xattrs are not represented by the portable initial format. Hasher is intentionally the only external build dependency in this slice. It supplies ALT package resolution and isolation; the image/profile orchestration belongs to this project. -- cgit v1.2.3
