+// reported as "Invalid Resource ... File not found" at resolve time, rather than
+// silently producing a bundle with no kernels that the delegate would only fault
+// on at Metal device init inside a consumer's app.
+// Do not gate these on FileManager.fileExists: a relative path is resolved

+// that is the consumer's root, so every slice would appear missing and the
