-.. note:: Windows Spec Syntax Caveats
-   Windows has a few idiosyncrasies when it comes to the Spack spec syntax and the use of certain shells
-   Spack's spec dependency syntax uses the carat (``^``) character, however this is an escape string in CMD
-   so it must be escaped with an additional carat (i.e. ``^^``).
-   CMD also will attempt to interpret strings with ``=`` characters in them. Any spec including this symbol
-   must double quote the string.
-
-   Note: All of these issues are unique to CMD, they can be avoided by using Powershell.
-
-   For more context on these caveats see the related issues: `carat <https://github.com/spack/spack/issues/42833>`_ and `equals <https://github.com/spack/spack/issues/43348>`_

-Splicing
---------
-
-The ``splice`` key covers config attributes for splicing specs in the solver.
-
-"Splicing" is a method for replacing a dependency with another spec
-that provides the same package or virtual. There are two types of
-splices, referring to different behaviors for shared dependencies
-between the root spec and the new spec replacing a dependency:
-"transitive" and "intransitive". A "transitive" splice is one that
-resolves all conflicts by taking the dependency from the new node. An
-"intransitive" splice is one that resolves all conflicts by taking the
-dependency from the original root. From a theory perspective, hybrid
-splices are possible but are not modeled by Spack.
-
-All spliced specs retain a ``build_spec`` attribute that points to the
-original Spec before any splice occurred. The ``build_spec`` for a
-non-spliced spec is itself.
-
-The figure below shows examples of transitive and intransitive splices:
-
-.. figure:: images/splices.png
-   :align: center
-
-The concretizer can be configured to explicitly splice particular
-replacements for a target spec. Splicing will allow the user to make
-use of generically built public binary caches, while swapping in
-highly optimized local builds for performance critical components
-and/or components that interact closely with the specific hardware
-details of the system. The most prominent candidate for splicing is
-MPI providers. MPI packages have relatively well-understood ABI
-characteristics, and most High Performance Computing facilities deploy
-highly optimized MPI packages tailored to their particular
-hardware. The following config block configures Spack to replace
-whatever MPI provider each spec was concretized to use with the
-particular package of ``mpich`` with the hash that begins ``abcdef``.
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-   concretizer:
-     splice:
-       explicit:
-       - target: mpi
-         replacement: mpich/abcdef
-         transitive: false
-
-.. warning::
-
-   When configuring an explicit splice, you as the user take on the
-   responsibility for ensuring ABI compatibility between the specs
-   matched by the target and the replacement you provide. If they are
-   not compatible, Spack will not warn you and your application will
-   fail to run.
-
-The ``target`` field of an explicit splice can be any abstract
-spec. The ``replacement`` field must be a spec that includes the hash
-of a concrete spec, and the replacement must either be the same
-package as the target, provide the virtual that is the target, or
-provide a virtual that the target provides. The ``transitive`` field
-is optional -- by default, splices will be transitive.
-
-.. note::
-
-   With explicit splices configured, it is possible for Spack to
-   concretize to a spec that does not satisfy the input. For example,
-   with the config above ``hdf5 ^mvapich2`` will concretize to user
-   ``mpich/abcdef`` instead of ``mvapich2`` as the MPI provider. Spack
-   will warn the user in this case, but will not fail the
-   concretization.

-Stack Configuration
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-The stack configuration is a spack environment file with two additional sections added.
-Stack configurations should be located in ``share/spack/gitlab/cloud_pipelines/stacks/<stack_name>/spack.yaml``.
-
-The ``ci`` section is generally used to define stack specific mappings such as image or tags.
-For more information on what can go into the ``ci`` section refer to the docs on pipelines.
-
-The ``cdash`` section is used for defining where to upload the results of builds. Spack configures
-most of the details for posting pipeline results to
-`cdash.spack.io <https://cdash.spack.io/index.php?project=Spack+Testing>`_. The only
-requirement in the stack configuration is to define a ``build-group`` that is unique,
-this is usually the long name of the stack.
-
-An example stack that builds ``zlib``.
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-    spack:
-      view: false
-      packages:
-        all:
-          require: ["%gcc", "target=x86_64_v3"]
-      specs:
-      - zlib
-
-      ci:
-        pipeline-gen
-        - build-job:
-            image: my-super-cool-stack-image:0.0.1
-
-      cdash:
-        build-group: My Super Cool Stack
-
-.. note::
-
-    The ``image`` used in the ``*-generate`` job must match exactly the ``image`` used in the ``build-job``.
-    When the images do not match the build job may fail.

-Registering Runners
-"""""""""""""""""""
-
-Contributing computational resources to Spack's CI build farm is one way to help expand the
-capabilities and offerings of the public Spack build caches. Currently, Spack utilizes linux runners
-from AWS, Google, and the University of Oregon (UO).
-
-Runners require three key peices:
-* Runner Registration Token
-* Accurate tags
-* OIDC Authentication script
-* GPG keys
-
-
-Minimum GitLab Runner Version: ``16.1.0``
-`Intallation instructions <https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/install/>`_
-
-Registration Token
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-The first step to contribute new runners is to open an issue in the `spack infrastructure <https://github.com/spack/spack-infrastructure/issues/new?assignees=&labels=runner-registration&projects=&template=runner_registration.yml>`_
-project. This will be reported to the spack infrastructure team who will guide users through the process
-of registering new runners for Spack CI.
-
-The information needed to register a runner is the motivation for the new resources, a semi-detailed description of
-the runner, and finallly the point of contact for maintaining the software on the runner.
-
-The point of contact will then work with the infrastruture team to obtain runner registration token(s) for interacting with
-with Spack's GitLab instance. Once the runner is active, this point of contact will also be responsible for updating the
-GitLab runner software to keep pace with Spack's Gitlab.
-
-Tagging
-~~~~~~~
-
-In the initial stages of runner registration it is important to **exclude** the special tag ``spack``. This will prevent
-the new runner(s) from being picked up for production CI jobs while it is configured and evaluated. Once it is determined
-that the runner is ready for production use the ``spack`` tag will be added.
-
-Because gitlab has no concept of tag exclustion, runners that provide specialized resource also require specialized tags.
-For example, a basic CPU only x86_64 runner may have a tag ``x86_64`` associated with it. However, a runner containing an
-CUDA capable GPU may have the tag ``x86_64-cuda`` to denote that it should only be used for packages that will benefit from
-a CUDA capable resource.
-
-OIDC
-~~~~
-
-Spack runners use OIDC authentication for connecting to the appropriate AWS bucket
-which is used for coordinating the communication of binaries between build jobs. In
-order to configure OIDC authentication, Spack CI runners use a python script with minimal
-dependencies. This script can be configured for runners as seen here using the ``pre_build_script``.
-
-.. code-block:: toml
-
-    [[runners]]
-      pre_build_script = """
-      echo 'Executing Spack pre-build setup script'
-
-      for cmd in "${PY3:-}" python3 python; do
-        if command -v > /dev/null "$cmd"; then
-          export PY3="$(command -v "$cmd")"
-          break
-        fi
-      done
-
-      if [ -z "${PY3:-}" ]; then
-        echo "Unable to find python3 executable"

-      . ./envvars

-      unset GITLAB_OIDC_TOKEN

-
-GPG Keys

-Runners that may be utilized for ``protected`` CI require the registration of an intermediate signing key that
-can be used to sign packages. For more information on package signing read :ref:`key_architecture`.

-

-    * ``StopPhase``: error raised by a build process indicating it's stopping at a

-      raised in the parent.
-
-    * The return value of ``function()``, which can be anything (except an exception).
-      This is returned to the caller.
-
-    Note: ``jsfd1`` and ``jsfd2`` are passed solely to ensure that the child process
-    does not close these file descriptors. Some ``multiprocessing`` backends will close
-    them automatically in the child if they are not passed at process creation time.

-            this as the first argument.
-        kwargs: additional keyword arguments to pass to ``function()``.
-        write_pipe: multiprocessing ``Connection`` to the parent process, to which the
-            child *must* send a result (or an error) back to parent on.
-        input_multiprocess_fd: stdin from the parent (not passed currently on Windows)
