Migration needed for Automatic Exec Groups

[kotlaja]

Migration to Automatic Exec Groups (AEGs) is needed since its incompatible flag (--incompatible_auto_exec_groups) will be enabled for Bazel@Head by default shortly, thus it will be breaking multiple projects.

Please migrate and fix potential errors, in order to unblock your project and users who depend on your project. Potential errors can be triggered by building your project with this incompatible flag. Note that AEGs will not be flipped by default for Bazel 8, but for Bazel at head after Bazel 8 cut.

For more details, please check:

• General Bazel documentation for AEGs

Notes

• Issues related to this matter were already open for multiple modules, but github suspended the account of the colleague who opened them (the issue was probably related to using a similar template for multiple projects which was observed as spam). Hence, I’m opening this single issue and I’m pinging maintainers of relevant failing projects which require this migration.
• In case the migration is not straightforward, please open an additional github issue in your repository in order to closely follow the progress. In this way we’re being respectful towards other maintainers of different projects, who share this issue along with us.
• In case there are some obstacles, please let me know.
• Let me know if I made some mistake or some changes need to be done regarding maintainers - Most of the information I used from Bazel Central Registry.

The following modules are broken with Bazel 7:
