Reproduction Steps cd to ./inner Run npx nx run build Open .nx/workspace-data/daemon.log If using an editor without live-updates, open the .nx/workspace-data folder instead. Note the continuously added logs to "hash changed files from watcher", "build-project-configs", and "total execution time for createProjectGraph()". Or note the continuous increase to the daemon.log filesize. Run npx nx reset Add a blank .gitignore to ./inner Run npx nx run build again Note the daemon.log does not continuously grow in size.
