08/25/2026, 12:39 AMI looked at this issue in the past, and have a branch with an attempt at implementing. But this is not simple because the REAPI does not (and as far as I can tell will not) support anything like this. So as you note, this won't work for remexec.

09/14/2026, 8:02 PMSo I've been running a fork in production for 2-3 weeks now (not what's in this PR) and as far as I can tell its "working beautifully."
Let me see if I can provide the exact branch.

09/14/2026, 8:04 PMThis is what I've been running in prod for 3-ish weeks now: https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/compare/2.33.x...altana-ai:pants:altana/cache-key-excluded-env-vars

09/14/2026, 8:05 PMIt "seems to work" but lots of things in pants fit into that category. I just know we have OCI builds working and cache hits are happening much more now than ever before.

09/14/2026, 8:07 PMI can't wait for someone to review that change and be like, "hey idiot, this totally isn't doing what you think it is."
