### Issue The build performances are currently not optimal and could be improved. Focusing on build cacheability, running twice the build without any change and cache enabled on a fresh Gradle user home surfaces some performance issues, which can result in up to 26mn of CPU time wasted on a build. ### Experiment I used an automated experiment to run the build twice ([GitHub workflow](https://github.com/gradle/develocity-oss-projects/actions/runs/16201427211/workflow)) The summary of the experiment can be checked [there](https://github.com/gradle/develocity-oss-projects/actions/runs/16201427211) We can in particular notice [the second build](https://ge.solutions-team.gradle.com/s/6hnubh6rve352/timeline?cacheability=cacheable&outcome=success) from experiment 3 suffering from 171 unexpected cache misses, totalling almost 26mn of serial time. <img width="1772" height="1186" alt="Screenshot 2025-07-11 at 3 46 45 PM" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/c79c3c59-1c2b-40b5-aa0b-96fefea33503"; /> ### Fixes Several fixes were applied and are isolated on specific commits for review convenience #### Apply `RelativePath` normalization on task inputs to improve cacheability - `aggregateDataMappingGroovydoc` - `aggregateGroovydoc` - `asciidoctor` - `compileGsonViews` - `compileProfile` #### Ignore `grails.build.info` with runtime classpath normalization - `compileIntegrationTestGroovy` - `compileTestGroovy` - `integrationTest` - `test` #### Fix overlapping outputs on assetCompile task - `assetCompile` #### Improve Javadoc cacheability by using date instead of instant on options.bottom task input - `javadoc` #### Fix AsciiDoc task cache relocatability by using relative paths instead of absolute paths - `asciidoc` #### Fix PublishGuideTask task cache relocatability by using relative paths instead of absolute paths - 'publishGuide' #### Fix GroovyPageForkCompileTask cacheability by defining a task output - `compileGroovyPages` -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
