Description
PSyclone step takes in algorithm `.x90` and transformation script `.py`. These are hashed and that has is applied to the generated PSy layer `.f90`. On future incremental builds in which the prerequisite files have not changed they should produce the same hash and therefore not trigger a rebuild, overwriting the PSy file. However hand edits to the PSy file (which do not change its filename) are being overwritten.

Research direction
Start by tracing the PSyclone build step that consumes the algorithm .x90 file and transformation .py script and generates the .f90 PSy layer. Check how prerequisite hashes are compared with the generated file, then verify that an unchanged incremental build preserves hand edits while still rebuilding when an input changes.
