Maybe deferred to a separate PR: a config option that can be set to turn off the semantics phase (whatever that phase is, according to the split-phases setting).
One use-case: configuring a task complete with test suite etc., but turning the semantics stuff off during an exam setting (not only hiding the semantics output, but really preventing its possibly costly computation), but being able to simply turn it on after the fact.
