Documents four features across both legacy (site/en/) and modern (docs/) documentation, keeping .md and .mdx files in sync.

Changes

  • .bazelrc import depth limit (run/bazelrc): Documents the 512-level recursive import cap, the "Maximum import depth exceeded parsing config file" error, and the BAZEL_UNLIMITED_IMPORT_DEPTH env var escape hatch.

  • Bzlmod patch/overlay integrity enforcement (external/registry): Clarifies that integrity checksum values for patches and overlay entries in source.json must be non-empty strings.

  • Remote cache CDC chunking (remote/caching): Adds a new "Chunked uploads and downloads (CDC)" section documenting --experimental_remote_cache_chunking for large blob transfers, noting the server-side support requirement.

  • BEP parent-child ordering (remote/bep): Replaces the old caveat ("not all parent events must be posted before child events") with the updated guarantee that BEP events are written respecting parent-child ordering constraints.

Description

Four behavioral changes landed without corresponding documentation updates. This PR adds the missing documentation for each, with surgical edits (≤5 lines changed per file) to both format variants.

Motivation

Keeps end-user-facing docs accurate for the .bazelrc import depth limit, Bzlmod integrity enforcement, remote cache CDC support, and fixed BEP event ordering.

Build API Changes

No

Checklist

  • I have added tests for the new use cases (if any).
  • I have updated the documentation (if applicable).
