Electric Make has had sandboxing since 2002, no conversion from your familiar make-based builds to a new shiny build tool required, and it can make on-the-fly corrections to execution order if that sandboxing reveals that incomplete dependency specifications caused something to run in the wrong order (relative to a strictly serial build).

"Sandboxing" in a build tool cannot be claimed as Bazel's innovation.

Can you link to the project?

Sorry for the belated response. Electric Make is part of CloudBees Accelerator: https://www.cloudbees.com/cloudbees-accelerator.
