libxce_src listed only gen_srcs[0] (controller.capnp.c) as a source of
the static_library('xce', ...) target, never controller.capnp.h -- which
several library files (utils.c and others) reach only via #include.
Ninja had no build edge forcing the capnp custom_target to finish before
those files compiled, so a from-scratch build could schedule them first,
intermittently failing with "controller.capnp.h: No such file or
directory". This is the same symptom recorded across 5+ prior recurrences
in buglog.json since 2026-07-16, previously worked around by retrying the
build rather than root-caused.
Fix: pass the whole gen_srcs custom_target (not gen_srcs[0]) into
libxce_src -- Meson still compiles only its .c output, but now orders the
entire target's build after both outputs are generated. Verified via two
consecutive from-scratch `xce-build.sh lib debug` builds (no retry
needed), the full lib test suite (313/313), and an incremental controller
asan rebuild (1331/1331, 0 ASAN diagnostics) to confirm no regression.
