Previous versions of Raspberry Pi OS made use of a wpa_supplicant.conf
file which could be placed into the boot folder to configure wireless
network settings. This is no longer possible from Raspberry Pi OS
Bookworm onwards.
I have a headless pi I want to pre-configure to have wireless
networking. I can't ssh in until the wifi works. I can shut it down,
pull the SD card, mount it somewhere else and place files in /etc/.
What file in what directory for wifi? I'm using the 2023-12-11-raspios-bookworm-armhf-lite image. The device has a screen
and keyboard, but the image lacks the drivers for the screen and I need
to apt-get install them. Which is tricky when I can't ssh in or trying
to type blindly the needed commands to add a repo with the video
drivers.
The pre-configured OS for this device is buildroot which has no
compiler or build tools which is going to block me intalling the Perl
modules I need. buildroot.org helpfuly says (paraphrased) "if you want
a compiler, you want a different distro."

can see where they are coming from, but still
Use the RPi Imager to burn your uSD card and set the WiFi there.

That's not an answer to my question, which you left below because you
don't get that top-posting is evil.
I didn't use the imager because the imager wants a newer glibc than I
have installed on the system I'm using. Downloading an image and copying
it an SD card is trivial for someone well-acquainted with Unix tools, so
I didn't worry much. But I realize the imager does a bit more than
papering over the copy process. Unfortunately all of the networking
guides I can find for this system assume you are configuring it from a running system, not in advance on the disk image. "What file, where" is probably all the help I need. I don't want to trace the start-up process
by reading through /etc/ to figure it out from source if I don't have to.
