Abstract
This paper describes a technique for physically segregating machine-generated dependency metadata from human-authored build logic using a "Sidecar Architecture" within a build system environment. The system includes an automated sidecar module containing a structured data dictionary, a primary human-maintained build configuration that imports this dictionary, and an integration logic macro that merges these external components with user-defined components to construct a final dependency graph.
