Currently, if a pre or post build step fails, the entire build fails, and the process or test will not restart. A step may be written such that an error code is returned improperly (warnings returned as errors, for example). The user should be able to ignore build step errors and allow the build to continue unabated, on a step-by-step basis.

Property (ignore_failure?) could be expressed as a boolean, with a default of false:

"post-build-steps": [{
  "command": "./bin/flakey_script.sh",
  "ignore_failure": true
}]

Some users may want the debounce functionality more or less sensitive. Some IDEs may not auto-save every time that a file looses focus, making the user to save all files at once. This would imply a very low debounce time. Others may save every time that a file looses focus, causing file change chatter. A high debounce may reduce the build tool load.

Debounce could be expressed in milliseconds.

Possible configuration file format:

"build": {
  "debounce": 1500
}

By default, the build operation will use a custom temporary directory to build into, then once the build is complete, copy the result to the target location. Some users may want to simply build in place (reducing file system chatter?).

Build in place would be expressed as a boolean, with a default false value.

"build": {
  "build-in-place": true
}
