Task input-based caching, parameterized tests via Deno.test.each, and cross-lock-file migration (yarn/pnpm/bun to deno.lock) cut boilerplate and shrink CI runtime for polyglot projects.

Summary
Node.js compatibility reaches production-grade (Node-API v10, bare built-in resolution stable, process.version v26.3.0), reducing friction for teams migrating from npm. Test sharding and retry options enable scale—critical for monorepos.

Implementation verdict
Replaces manual task caching logic and npm lock-file conversions. Requires no breaking changes to existing deno.json. Worth adopting now: task caching is immediate wins; test sharding unblocks CI parallelization; Node compat surfaces zero-cost interop with npm packages.
