Leverage Gulp’s <code>since</code> option to rebuild only changed files, cutting build times while ensuring deterministic output. This architecture note covers requirements, minimal design, trust boundaries, operational checks, failure modes, and when to evolve the build strategy.
Moving a small application that relies on gulp for its build process to a newer gulp release while keeping the development environment available. The migration must preserve existing task definitions, especially those that use gulp.watch for live reloading, and avoid any interruption in the watch‑based workflow. Uncertainty remains about how changes in the g
