[feature] ```local: false``` still allows task to run outside CI

[artsiommiksiuk]

Describe the bug

I have a docker build process, and have two versions of a tasks - for local build and for ci build. Setting ci version to local: false still allows this task to be launched from local machine.

Steps to reproduce

tasks:
    build:
       script: echo 1
       local: true
    build-ci:
       script: echo 2
       local: false

➜  backend git:(moon-monorepo) ✗ moon node-python-docker:build         
1
▪▪▪▪ node-python-docker:build
▪▪▪▪ node-python-docker:build (3ms)

Tasks: 1 completed
 Time: 6ms

➜  backend git:(moon-monorepo) ✗ moon node-python-docker:build-ci
▪▪▪▪ node-python-docker:build-ci (47dfeeb3)
2
▪▪▪▪ node-python-docker:build-ci (3ms, 47dfeeb3)

Tasks: 1 completed
 Time: 20ms

Expected behavior

local: false marked task (build-ci) is not running locally.

Additional context

Probably something like localOnlyRun, ciOnlyRun options for a task will do better and more explicit.

But the overall feeling is that some advanced tasks filtering capabilities for their execution is missing, like with https://github.com/moonrepo/moon/issues/1538 request.

Would be nice to have more general solution to be able to set of tasks (same name union based) where each tasks is marked with some attributes, and then moon selects which version of a task to run based on the attributes match, like [win, ci], [win, local], [arm, ci], [arm, local] and etc.

Yeah local was never meant to work both ways. I'll change this to a feature request.

[artsiommiksiuk]

Well, this might be problematic. As per documentation local also overrides quite a set of options for task it did work for me e.g. because of conflicting cache and persistent options when referenced later as deps, so I'm not quite using it anymore.

[milesj]

Yeah local is really only meant for dev servers/watchers/other tasks that run forever.

Gonna close this as local is going to be deprecated: https://moonrepo.dev/blog/moon-v1.28#new-task-presets
