The build tree state is managed by the `BuildTreeState` class.
An instance is created at the start of a build execution and discarded at the end of the execution.

The "build state" holds the state for a build within the build definition for a single build execution, and is contained by the build tree state.

The build state is managed by the `BuildState` class.
