External Deps
- Bazel now supports vendoring external dependencies with Bzlmod, see https://bazel.build/external/vendor for details. (#22794)

- The extract method is now available on module_ctx. (#22825)
Performance
- Experimental support for path mapping
CppCompileactions can be enabled via--modify_execution_info=CppCompile=+supports-path-mapping. For more information, refer to the discussion #22658. (#22876) - Actions that become identical when path mapped are now deduplicated during local execution (#21043)
