  "result": "I rewrote the caching in `minibuild.py` so it no longer uses `.cache.json`. Every page is rendered in memory and compared byte-for-byte with its file in `out/`, and it is written only if the bytes differ. The change is in `build()`, plus a small `read_bytes` helper and a `shutil` import.\n\nAcross the scenarios I tested in temporary copies of `site/`, `out/` matched a clean build after every step. The steps were: initial build, no-op rerun, an indirect partial edit, quick successive edits, a `year` change, a `site_title` change, a deleted page, a deleted and a hand-edited output, a stray file in `out/`, and adding a page. Unaffected pages kept their timestamps, and `build()` returned the expected lists (for example `[]` on an unchanged rerun, `['about']` after a `year` change).\n\nWhat this means for your requirements:\n- **Partials and config:** a change to any partial, including indirect ones, or to a config key a page uses changes that page's output, so the page is rewritten. A `year` change rebuilds only `about`, because only that page's output changes.\n- **Same-second edits:** there are no mtime checks anymore, so they can't be missed.\n- **Deleted pages and stray files:** `out/` is pruned to exactly the files a clean build would produce.\n- **Hand-edited or deleted outputs:** a differing or missing output is rewritten; the grader's timestamp reset doesn't matter because the check is by content.\n\nChoices I made that you may want to review:\n- Output is now written as explicit UTF-8 bytes, not via text-mode `open(...).write`. On a UTF-8 locale the output is identical; on other locales the bytes could differ from the old script, but the comparison and the clean build use the same code, so they stay consistent.\n- `.cache.json` is no longer read or written. An existing one in `site/` is ignored and can be deleted.\n- Since the cache is gone, the \"which config keys does a page use\" question is answered by the output comparison itself rather than by dependency tracking.\n\nI didn't run the builder in the real `site/` directory, so it still has no `out/` directory. I didn't commit anything, since this isn't a git repository.",
