It would more be

@UntrackedTask

/

doNotTrackState()

. The task can never be up-to-date if you change the file in-place, because if either the input or output changed, the task is out-of-date. If you do this to insert versions and similar things, I usually have a readme template that I transform to the actual readme in the release process. This way placeholders get replaced and at the same time, the readme on GitHub always shows the state for the last released version as in the meantime I only edit the template and have a check task that ensures the readme was not changed, for example by a PR that is not aware of the template.
