I believe you need to mark your tasks as executing `onlyIf` <https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/more_about_tasks.html#sec:using_a_predicate>

Caching will just mean that a task won’t execute new work but it will still run (ike it your build might be cacheable and not rebuild but it will still run dependant tasks afaik)

Interesting, but how can onfyIf block in the 'deploy' task check if the 'shadowJar' task has everything in cache? Some gradle API?
