Description

Add support for caching files and detecting which files have been changed since a previous build so that files that it will only rebuild files that need to be rebuilt (similar to snowpack). If there is a git file in the project, this could perhaps be used to accurately track changes (or git-like file tracking could be built into arrowpack).

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by surveying the build pipeline and how it currently identifies input files, then determine how caching and change tracking should integrate with it. Done means unchanged files are skipped while changed files rebuild reliably, with coverage for the chosen tracking approach.
