<https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/configuration_cache.html#config_cache:not_yet_implemented:java_serialization> I don't think `@Internal` has any effect (so it will be like all other fields, must be transient or serializable)

Wondering what's the use case for marking something as transient... store computations during the task action? But then might as well use a local variable?

Not if the field is used by multiple methods maybe at different times.
Just like any other use-case for declaring something transient.
