idea needs thought

this sort of feature is a staple of this sort of task running system, but adds a lot of user-facing complexity

we'd need some persistent state between runs
tasks would need to specify the files they depend on
we'd need to dirhash those files and put them in the state
we'd need to skip tasks if the hash hadn't changed

I feel like there's more complexity to this, but those steps are the obvious ones off the top of my head

just adding persistent state is a pretty significant change (not, like, difficult, but significant)
