Gradle configuration cache requires task state to be round-trip serializable. As outlined at #987, this is a signficant constraint on plugin developers and it slows down the end-user experience of change-test-change-test on a single JVM daemon. We built a workaround (JvmLocalCache) that complies with Gradle's requirement by making our tasks round-trip serializable without requiring much work from plugin developers or the end user's machine, but it only works within a single JVM.

To work on multiple JVMs, we need to

• make every step round-trip serializable
• remove JvmLocalCache
