Persistent on-disk cache of the most recent successful esbuild metafile, used by --changed / --since to compute the reverse-dependency graph without re-running esbuild. Lives under node_modules/.cache/ (npm convention, gitignored, survives rm -rf tmp/).

The wrapper format records the absolute cwd at write time so the reader can resolve metafile-relative paths the same way esbuild would, regardless of where qunitx is invoked from on the next run.
