Research direction

Read the manifest work in issue #435 and the superseded proposal in #310 first. Trace where modules are selected for compilation, then define and verify the timestamp-based decision so unchanged modules are skipped and changed modules are compiled.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Using information from manifest in #435, I think we can tell if we will need to compile modules based on if timestamps changed. This issue replaces #310
