yay uses a hash cache, where the cache of each source file is stored (or at least with it's a Git repository). This information is stored using a parseable format in the .SRCINFO file.

Vieter could parse this file as well, using this data to determine whether a build needs to be scheduled or not. This would prevent a lot of unnecessary work, as no containers would need to be spawned, solely to determine that a package is already up to date.
