/**
 * Interface of an Action that is Skyframe-aware.
 *
 * <p><b>IMPORTANT</b>: actions that implement this interface should override {@code
 * Action.executeUnconditionally} and return true. See below for details.
 *
 * <p>Implementors of this interface can request Skyframe dependencies to perform arbitrary
 * computation or establish desired dependencies before they are executed but after their inputs
 * have been built.
 *
 * <p>The {@link ActionExecutionFunction} will make sure that all requested SkyValues are built and
 * that the {@link #processSkyframeValues} function completed successfully before attempting to
 * execute the action.
 *
 * <p><b>It is crucial to correct action reexecution that implementors override {@code
 * Action.executeUnconditionally} to always return true.</b> Skyframe tracks changes in both the
 * input files and in dependencies established through {@link #processSkyframeValues}, but the
 * action cache only knows about the input files. So if only the extra "skyframe dependencies"
 * change, the action cache will believe the action to be up-to-date and skip actual execution.
 * Therefore it's crucial to bypass action cache checking by marking the action as unconditionally
 * executed.

   * SkyFunction and request the corresponding SkyValue in this method.
   *
   * <p>Because the requested SkyValues may not yet be present in the graph, this method must be
   * safe to call multiple times, and should always leave the action object in a consistent state.
   *
   * <p>This method should not attempt to handle errors or missing dependencies (other than wrapping
   * exceptions); that is the responsibility of the caller. It should return as soon as possible,
   * ready to be called again at a later time if need be.
