Pants

QQ: when we run pants with `--changed-since`, will the changed files dependEEs be checked, or only dependents will be checked?

I _think_ `--changed-since` doesn't include anything about dependees or dependents unless asked

<https://www.pantsbuild.org/docs/advanced-target-selection#running-over-changed-files-with---changed-since>

To see dependencies, you'll run the `dependencies` <https://www.pantsbuild.org/docs/reference-dependencies|goal>

`--changed-since` is just directly changed files, but if you add `--changed-dependees=transitive` it'll do what you expect

(i.e., all files that depend transitively on any changed files)

That is a lovely nuance work blogging about!
