📝 Walkthrough📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe documentation for caching in Snakemake has been revised to clarify the mechanism for recognizing previously computed results. The term "Merkle tree" has replaced "blockchain" to better reflect the data structure used in caching. The updates also specify that caching must be explicitly activated per rule, provide command line and Python examples, and outline eligibility criteria for caching rules. The note on permissions for cached data and the experimental status of the implementation remains unchanged. Changes

12-12: LGTM! The terminology change improves technical accuracy.The replacement of "blockchain" with "Merkle tree" is more precise and better reflects the actual data structure used in Snakemake's caching mechanism. The added Wikipedia link provides helpful context for readers unfamiliar with the concept.
Consider adding a brief explanation of why Merkle trees are particularly suitable for this use case, such as their efficient verification of data integrity and hierarchical nature that matches Snakemake's workflow structure.

I agree! Just a minor thing, since the word step in the change below does not refer to an item in the hash tree but rather to a step in the workflow.

This is a more correct terminology, IMO.
