environmentalDependencyCommands

You could support this use case within the existing API by declaring the command as a script that outputs to a file, has no deps and declares its output. The build script could depend on on the other env command script with cascade: false and add the env script's output file as one of its input files.

And git rev-parse HEAD specifically I think you could just depend on the file .git/ORIG_HEAD

ahh, yes, i meant to include that too. here was @aomarks workaround:

{
  "wireit": {
    "generate-git-hash": {
      "command": "git rev-parse HEAD > .head"
    },
    "git-hash": {
      "dependencies": [
        {
          "script": "generate-git-hash",
          "cascade": false
        }
      ],
      "files": [
        ".head"
      ],
      "output": []
    },
    "build": {
      "command": "vite",
      "dependencies": [
        "git-hash"
      ]
    }
  } 
}

thanks for the tip on ORIG_HEAD! looks like HEAD is refs/heads/macbook for me (which is unlikely to change), but ORIG_HEAD is effectively HEAD^, which may be a good, if imperfect, signal that a rebuild is due (especially if it's always a commit).
