Summary

Resolves the long-standing cacheToken TODO in Compilation.finish: the "report dependency errors and warnings" pass walked every module's dependency tree on every rebuild, even for unchanged modules, unless experiments.cacheUnaffected was enabled. Each compilation now renews a cache token for built modules and their (transitive) parents (using the same couldAffectReferencingModule() rules as _computeAffectedModules), and modules known to be clean under their current token are skipped — on a 4100-module benchmark this cuts the phase from ~8.6 ms to ~1.1 ms per rebuild with default development cache, while experiments.cacheUnaffected keeps its existing, more precise invalidation untouched.

What kind of change does this PR introduce?

perf

Did you add tests for your changes?

Yes — test/watchCases/warnings/dependency-warnings-unchanged-modules covers warning persistence for unchanged modules across rebuilds and a new export warning appearing on an unchanged importer when its dependency changes.

Does this PR introduce a breaking change?

No.

If relevant, what needs to be documented once your changes are merged or what have you already documented?

n/a

Use of AI

This change was implemented with Claude (Claude Code) under my direction: it wrote the implementation, the watch test case, and ran before/after CPU/memory benchmarks; I reviewed the approach and results.

The reported lodash rebuild memory regression doesn't reproduce locally. Replicating the exact scenario (watch + append to the entry importing the lodash barrel, 30 rebuilds, two interleaved runs per side):

per rebuild base this PR
allocation churn, median 3572.5 / 3585.7 KB 3577.2 / 3584.5 KB
retained heap growth (30 rebuilds) 3226 / 3240 KB 3252 / 3249 KB

So the measurable delta is ~5–25 KB (the expected token/WeakSet bookkeeping), not +728 KB. The report itself flags that the comparison crossed different runtime environments, and the unexplained ×2 "improvement" on the untouched css-modules initial build points the same way. Rebasing onto current main to re-run the benchmark on a clean comparison.

…n rebuilds

Resolves the cacheToken TODO in Compilation.finish: each compilation
renews a token for built modules and their (transitive) parents, and
modules known to have no dependency errors/warnings under their current
token are skipped. Active only without experiments.cacheUnaffected,
which has its own more precise invalidation.
