Research direction

Start with the linked documentation for configuring Python, Cargo, and rustc, then inspect the CargoExtension named in the error to trace how these command properties are exposed and invoked. Confirm the intended current directory for each command and verify that the documented properties can be set without the read-only-property error.

Description

Per documentation at https://github.com/mozilla/rust-android-gradle#specifying-paths-to-sub-commands-python-cargo-and-rustc

I cannot set cargoCommand and rustcCommand. I see this error:

> Cannot set the value of read-only property 'rustcCommand' for extension 'cargo' of type com.nishtahir.CargoExtension.
