Description

Added pixi.init_cwd template variable so it can be used in task inputs/outputs for caching.

[tasks.mkdir_test]
cmd = "mkdir -p {{ pixi.init_cwd }}/test"
outputs = ["{{ pixi.init_cwd }}/test"]

Fixes #5475

How Has This Been Tested?

Added unit test test_template_string_renders_init_cwd and ran existing task tests

Appart from the use of std::env in the manifest code, I like this change.

I tested it locally and it doens't seem to work. Please make sure you test your code before sending a review request.

[tasks.mkdir_test]
cmd = "mkdir -p {{ pixi.init_cwd }}/test"
outputs = ["{{ pixi.init_cwd }}/test"]

Also, why don't you check the "I take responsibility for any AI-generated content in my PR.". I forgot to check it on some of your previous PR's but I don't feel like taking ownership of code that an AI has written and the contributor doesn't want to take responsiblity over.
