Thanks for the suggestion! After investigating this, I don't think we'll implement this feature due to performance concerns. The problem: To support
Currently, the cache check happens early - before env/toolset setup - which is intentional. If sources are fresh, we skip all that expensive work. Moving usage resolution before the cache check would mean doing env/toolset setup even for cached tasks, defeating the purpose of caching. Recommended alternative: Use environment variables instead of usage args for configurable outputs. Env vars are available during template rendering: [tasks."build:webapp"]
description = "Build Application"
env = { WEBAPP_OUT_DIR = "{{ vars.webapp_out_dir }}" }
run = "vite build"
sources = ["src/**/*.{ts,tsx}", "index.html", "vite.config.ts"]
outputs = ["{{ env.WEBAPP_OUT_DIR }}/**/*"]Then override via dependency env: [tasks."build:all"]
depends = [
{ task = "build:webapp", env = { WEBAPP_OUT_DIR = ".dist/custom" } }
]Or use the hidden base task pattern from your workaround in #7823. This response was generated with assistance from Claude Code |

Summary
Strategy Used: Schema Validation Complexity & Performance Analysis (Strategy 030)
Date: 2026-01-25
Findings: 5 total (0 critical, 7 architectural, 2 moderate)
Status: ✅ EXCELLENT PROGRESS - All 3 critical constraint enforcement issues from previous run (2026-01-22) have been RESOLVED
This analysis validates schema validation infrastructure, analyzes computational complexity, examines performance bottlenecks, and compares schema constraints with runtime enforcement. This run confirms that the validation infrastructure improvements have successfully addressed all critical gaps.

🏆 Conclusion
This analysis confirms EXCELLENT PROGRESS on validation infrastructure:
✅ All 3 critical constraint enforcement gaps RESOLVED
✅ Validation infrastructure working correctly
✅ Schema nesting significantly improved
✅ No performance-critical issues detected
The findings are primarily architectural opportunities (duplicate patterns, missing maxItems) rather than critical bugs. The validation system is healthy, comprehensive, and properly enforcing schema constraints.
Next Steps: Focus on architectural improvements (pattern extraction, maxItems constraints) rather than urgent bug fixes. Consider frontmatter caching as low-hanging performance optimization.
