perf(monorepo): ⚡️ optimize nx local task caching across workspace

[JimmyPaolini]

🌰 Summary

This PR optimizes Nx local task caching across the entire monorepo workspace. Implements deterministic cache behavior for build, test, lint, and code analysis targets without Nx Cloud, enabling faster iteration loops through intelligent cache invalidation boundaries and precise input/output definitions.

📝 Details

• Refined nx.json caching strategy: Introduced workspaceConfiguration and ciConfiguration named inputs to minimize global invalidation scope; narrowed production and test input exclusions to improve cache hit rates.
• Root project.json improvements: Split measure-code into cached check mode and uncached write mode; added explicit uncached rationale for 13 runtime-dependent targets (security audits, git hooks, infrastructure state).
• Project-level cache alignment: Converted code-analysis targets in caelundas, lexico-ingestion, and synchronization to deterministic cached wrappers.
• Generator template propagation: Updated NestJS command and GraphQL application templates to include cached code-analysis targets so all future generated projects inherit caching defaults.
• Conformance test assertions: Added test coverage for required cache behavior in generated project configurations.
• Cache determinism validated: Verified nx affected --target=<check-target> correctly reuses cache when only non-dependency files change, and invalidates when actual code/config changes.

🧪 Testing

Run the following to verify cache behavior and workspace graph correctness:

# Verify project configs parse correctly
pnpm nx show project monorepo --json | jq .targets | head -n 50

# Check affected graph with and without file changes (cache hit verification)
pnpm nx affected --target=measure-code --base=main --outputStyle=static
touch package.json
pnpm nx affected --target=measure-code --base=main --outputStyle=static
git checkout package.json

# Run analyze-code on affected projects (deterministic caching)
pnpm nx affected --target=analyze-code --configuration=check --base=main

# Confirm no Nx Cloud references in CI
grep -r 'nx.*cloud\|NX_CLOUD' .github/workflows .github/actions || echo 'No Nx Cloud references found'
