Compiles with BiSheng in MIXED mode, so the object carries the device binary and a host-callable launcher and joins the ordinary link -- no registration file and no device-link step. The floor is the release whose device-source table carries `.asc` and whose `mcpp::link_flag` can emit the `-rpath-link` the toolkit's own shared libraries need |

 | `rules-hip` | `mcpp.rules.hip` | 2026.9.5.2 | `xim:hip-nvidia` plus the CUDA back end it compiles through (`xim:cuda-nvcc`, `xim:cuda-cudart`, `xim:libcurand`, `xim:cuda-cccl`), `[build] accel = "hip, cuda12.9+{sm_89}"`, a constrained glob for `*.hip`. On the NVIDIA platform HIP is a header layer over the CUDA runtime, so the compiler is the project's own clang and there is no ROCm on the machine |
