A custom node's compiled packages are built for the card that runs them

Stable Fast 3D's texture_baker and uv_unwrapper are C++/CUDA packages no
index has; on the PoC they were built and installed into ComfyUI's
environment by hand. nodes[].build names such directories, and the gate
builds each as a wheel with ComfyUI's Python, for the compute capability
torch reports for the replica's own card, keeps it on the node by the
node's commit, the architecture and the directory, and installs it
beside the replica with the node's requirements. A copy in ComfyUI's
environment does not pin it. A node with no CUDA toolkit says so.

comfyui.huggingface_repo shows the replica's weights to a node that
loads them by repository name, in the engines' Hugging Face cache, so a
gated repository needs no token on the node.
