# no-remote | Prevents the action or test from being executed remotely or cached remotely.
# | This is equivalent to using both `no-remote-cache` and `no-remote-exec`.
# ----------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# no-remote-cache | Results in the action or test never being cached remotely (but it may
# | be cached locally; it may also be executed remotely). Note: for the purposes
# | of this tag, the disk-cache is considered a local cache, whereas the http
# | and gRPC caches are considered remote. If a combined cache is specified
# | (i.e. a cache with local and remote components), it's treated as a remote
# | cache and disabled entirely unless --incompatible_remote_results_ignore_disk
# | is set in which case the local components will be used.
# ----------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# no-remote-exec | Results in the action or test never being executed remotely (but it may be
# | cached remotely).
# ----------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# no-cache | Results in the action or test never being cached (remotely or locally)
# ----------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# no-sandbox | Results in the action or test never being sandboxed; it can still be cached
# | or run remotely - use no-cache or no-remote to prevent either or both of
# | those.
# ----------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# local | Precludes the action or test from being remotely cached, remotely executed,
# | or run inside the sandbox. For genrules and tests, marking the rule with the
# | local = True attribute has the same effect.

# Copying file & directories is entirely IO-bound and there is no point doing this work
# remotely.
#
# Also, remote-execution does not allow source directory inputs, see
# https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/commit/c64421bc35214f0414e4f4226cc953e8c55fa0d2 So we must
# not attempt to execute remotely in that case.
#
# There is also no point pulling the output file or directory from the remote cache since the
# bytes to copy are already available locally. Conversely, no point in writing to the cache if
# no one has any reason to check it for this action.
#
# Read and writing to disk cache is disabled as well primarily to reduce disk usage on the local
# machine. A disk cache hit of a directory copy could be slghtly faster than a copy since the
# disk cache stores the directory artifact as a single entry, but the slight performance bump
# comes at the cost of heavy disk cache usage, which is an unmanaged directory that grow beyond
# the bounds of the physical disk.
# TODO: run benchmarks to measure the impact on copy_directory
#
# Sandboxing for this action is wasteful as well since there is a 1:1 mapping of input
# file/directory to output file/directory and no room for non-hermetic inputs to sneak in to the
# input.
