📝 Description
Add
'build'and'build.*'to setuptools exclude list to prevent build artifacts from being recursively copied into themselves during successive builds.This fixes the issue where find_packages() would discover
build.lib.*as valid packages, causing nestedbuild/lib/build/lib/...directories.Issue:

Also updates MANIFEST.in to exclude legacy baked_version files and ensure tests are only included in source distributions, not wheels.
