Description

in order to safe a roundtrip for incremental remote execution builds we should evaluate whether we could make it so that Bazel eagerly uploads files that have changed between builds, including the merkle tree nodes affected.

Research direction

Start by tracing Bazel's incremental remote execution path and how changed inputs and affected Merkle tree nodes are currently handled. Determine whether eager uploads can avoid a round trip; done requires a concrete, agreed implementation approach and validation for incremental builds.
