Research direction

Start by tracing how wireit invocations are handled for a package, with attention to the --watch behavior described in the issue. Determine how concurrent non-watch runs can be detected and where a warning should appear; done means overlapping runs in one package warn while watch runs do not count, with coverage for these cases.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

This is often a mistake because each of the wireit invocations will be doing a lot of overlapping work. This is often the case when someone's using another script runner on top of wireit, like workspace/monorepo managers.

A run with --watch probably shouldn't count against this though
