Description
### Is there an existing feature request for this?
- [X] I have searched the existing issues.
### Command
_No response_
### Description
Task is able to reduce running commands multiple times needlessly with [checksum fingerprinting](https://github.com/go-task/task/blob/master/docs/usage.md#by-fingerprinting-locally-generated-files-and-their-sources). This feature is missed in Melos.
### Reasoning
This would allow us to skip unnecessary task running, especially for things like `pub get` or `pub run build_runner build`
### Additional context and comments
_No response_
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by comparing Melos task execution with the checksum fingerprinting behavior described in the linked Task documentation. Define how locally generated files and their sources should be tracked, including cases such as `pub get` and `pub run build_runner build`; done means unnecessary task runs are skipped when inputs have not changed.
