Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, running the ValueSet conversion in a repo results in phantom updates (where the only thing that has changed is the timestamp).

Describe the solution you'd like
It would be nice if the ValueSet conversion checked the output directly and only update the timestamp in the case of a new file or a change in an existing file.

Research direction

Start by locating the ValueSet conversion entry point and the code that writes output timestamps. Compare generated output directly to existing files, then verify that timestamps change only for new or modified files and that unchanged conversions produce no phantom updates.
