Module developer_package 

Developer package module.

Aligned with rez’s developer_package.py — represents a package that exists as source code in a developer’s working directory, before being built and released to a package repository.

Follows SOLID / Clean Architecture:

• Single Responsibility: This module only handles developer-package concerns.
• Open/Closed: Preprocess hooks allow extension without modification.
• Dependency Inversion: Accepts config rather than reading global state.

Lessons from Rez Issues (avoided pitfalls):

• #2001 (Regression on build): Preprocess functions are validated early, not during build time, preventing silent failures.
• #1766 (@late build_requires): DeveloperPackage explicitly validates includes before installation to catch missing modules early.
