OK, they use to be there, now they are not, so they will be ... in the build/install directory. I mean the same can be said about when we moved things to be ODS generated, many headers ended up not in the source directory anymore.
That's not really a description of the workflow that actually needs these to be in the source.

I want to be able to mount my source directory in a read-only way in a docker container where my cmake build operates in an isolated build directory. This is an invariant of the system that has always existed as far as I know, is there a precedent where this isn't the case?

I also have multiple independent build directory for the same source, and these need to be independent and shouldn't interact with each other under the hood.
