Description
The WireTask should use FileCollection instead of List<String> as a property so that the relative path of the file can be used instead of the full directory as a string. This would allow for more cache hits. The property should be annotated with RelativePath normalization. This would be the case for the targets property and the inputFiles property.
See the cache miss below.

Research direction
Locate the WireTask entry point and inspect its targets and inputFiles properties, including how their cache inputs are declared. Check the FileCollection and RelativePath normalization APIs before changing the property representation. Done means both properties use the requested normalized file collections and the reported cache miss is addressed.
