Just run make -B test to force a rerun?

  First, the engineer needs to understand how the makefile is written and that it doesn't rerun without changes. Is it not rerunning because of npm? because of jest? If the engineer isn't the one that wrote the makefile: they won't. Next, you're assuming a JS engineer would know what the flag is (or even that such a flag exists) to force reruns. I've literally never used this flag in my (JS) career so I wouldn't expect anyone to know this. Don't send engineers down some debugging rabbit hole just to save a few seconds when no changes happen. If you want this functionality, just use `jest --onlyChanged` in your own workflow and don't screw with everyone else's.

    On non-toy projects it will save minutes if not much more. It also encourage good test discipline l. The engineer will know because it is their job to know. (Yes I'm a huge fan of deterministic tests and running only what's necessary).
