Pixi fills in some build variants for you rather than requiring them in [workspace.build-variants]: target_platform, and c_stdlib/c_stdlib_version derived from the target platform's system requirements when building against conda-forge. Only the compiler defaults were documented before.

Add a "Variants Pixi Sets for You" section to the build variants tutorial covering the derivation, its conda-forge gating, the bare-subdir defaults, and the Windows/musl/CUDA limitations, and cross-reference it from the manifest reference.

How Has This Been Tested?

By reading it :-)
