fix(sources): allow sdist hooks with source config - #1456
Packages that migrate to source: can select build_sdist: hook to keep using their custom sdist builder. Selecting pep517 or tarball retains the existing precedence, and selecting hook without an installed hook fails.
default_build_sdist() derives its VCS exclusion default from the effective package or variant configuration: with source:, it excludes metadata such as .git; without source:, it preserves legacy behavior. Explicit exclude_vcs=True or False overrides the default. Legacy and configured hooks share one dispatch path.
This VCS protection applies to hooks that delegate to default_build_sdist(). Hooks that create their own archives remain responsible for excluding VCS metadata, as before; the hook reference documents this responsibility.

Walkthrough
Source-building profiles can now select a package’s custom sdist builder with build_sdist: hook. The build validates the selected hook before resolution or download, then dispatches according to the configured strategy. The default sdist builder now excludes VCS metadata by default when source settings are present; explicit exclude_vcs values override that default. Tests and documentation cover resolver configuration, hook validation and dispatch, archive checks, and VCS exclusion.
The new build_sdist: hook strategy works. A missing hook in a replay build is reported only after the source is downloaded and prepared, so the failure is late but clear. One documentation line misstates which resolvers default to tarball. Both are small, localized fixes that can be made before or shortly after merge.

Explanation
The title names the main change: packages that use source: config can now select build_sdist: hook. It matches the changeset, which adds the hook build method, its validation, and the VCS-exclusion default in sources.py and the resolver settings. The title is short, specific, and follows the conventional-commit style.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description states that packages using source: can select build_sdist: hook, that pep517 and tarball keep existing precedence, and that hook fails without an installed hook. It also explains the derived default for exclude_vcs in default_build_sdist(), which matches the changes to sources.py and the docs. It links issue #1445.
Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
Issue #1445 requires an explicit custom build_sdist hook for source: configurations, preserved pep517 and tarball precedence, legacy hook behavior, and hook-reference documentation. BuildSDist.hook and resolver types enable the option. build_sdist() dispatches to the override for configured hook, while pep517 and tarball retain their paths and warn when an override is present. Legacy packages still use the override path. require_build_sdist_hook() rejects a missing or non-callable hook before resolution, with a build-time backstop. The hook reference documents the option and archive-content responsibility. The reported tests cover dispatch, validation, resolver acceptance, legacy behavior, and archive contents.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
The changed source, resolver, documentation, and tests support issue #1445. The exclude_vcs=None behavior connects to the new hook path because hooks that delegate to default_build_sdist() must follow source-build archive protection, while explicit booleans preserve control. The documentation states the behavior and keeps direct archive hooks responsible for their own contents. No unrelated change is demonstrated.

When an unused package selects build_sdist: hook but its plugin is absent, bootstrap fails while listing prebuilt packages, before it resolves the requested packages. Keep early hook validation for packages being resolved, but skip it when enumerating prebuilt settings.

@smoparth Agreed. Prebuilt enumeration should skip hook validation for unused packages. Requested packages should still fail validation before resolution or download.

step download-source-archive calls resolve_source() and then downloads the archive, it never builds an sdist. With build_sdist: hook and no installed override, this new check raises before the download. Please keep hook-presence enforcement on paths that will build an sdist, so the download command remains usable independently.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
For a source-configured package, this check runs during version resolution. Bootstrap checks for a cached wheel later and can skip source preparation and building entirely. A missing hook now stops that cached-wheel path even though no sdist build would occur. Please place the preflight after the cache decision if it is meant to protect builds that actually need the hook.

Agree with this comment, it needs to be fixed.
One more effect of checking here: in --test-mode, a missing hook was a build-phase failure, and those get the prebuilt fallback. It’s now recorded as a "resolution" failure (_bootstrapper.py:195-210), which gets no fallback and is labeled misleadingly. Failing hard on a config error is arguably right, but it should be deliberate and covered by a test. Could the failure category say this is a config or hook error rather than “resolution”?
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
build-sequence and build-parallel use a recorded source URL and call _build() without calling either newly guarded resolution path. On a cache miss, they download and prepare source and create the build environment before this backstop reports a missing hook. That contradicts the PR’s documented “before ... downloading” behavior and can waste substantial build work. Please add the preflight at their shared _build() path after the wheel-cache check and before download_source(); retain the check in build_sdist() for direct callers.

Check the build_sdist hook before replay builds download source.
build-sequence and build-parallel use the recorded source_url. They do not call sources.resolve_source, so the hook is validated only inside sources.build_sdist. When the hook is missing and no wheel is cached, _build still downloads the source and prepares the source tree and build environment before that check raises ValueError. This wastes time and I/O. It can also leave the prepared directories behind, because wkctx.clean_build_dirs is skipped when the exception occurs.
Validate the hook before the download in the no-wheel branch. Keep the check in build_sdist for direct callers.

Allow packages with `source:` to select their `build_sdist` override.
Check the selected variant's hook when a build resolves the package,
before any download, and again before building the sdist. Settings
lookups do not check hooks, so an unused package without its plugin
does not break other commands. Keep `tarball` as the default while
allowing explicit PEP 517 builds.
Document the VCS exclusion default and build dependency prerequisite,
and separate dispatch tests from archive-content tests.

Non blocker nit: Now that there’s an opt-in, this warning is the main way people migrating to source: will find it. Please name the fix, e.g. "%s: ignoring build_sdist override because source.build_sdist is %s; set source.build_sdist: hook to use it". Without that, people will hit the same confusion described in #1445.
