Can we move this to its own css_build.gni now that the logic has been moved to a
separate python script?

+  action(target_name) {
+    script = "//chrome/browser/resources/css_build_gn.py"
+    inputs = [
+      "//third_party/node/node_modules.tar.gz.sha1",
+    ]
+
+    if (is_linux) {
+      inputs += [ "//third_party/node/linux/node-linux-x64.tar.gz.sha1" ]
+    }
+    if (is_win) {
+      inputs += [ "//third_party/node/win/node.exe.sha1" ]
+    }
+    if (is_mac) {
+      inputs += [ "//third_party/node/mac/node-darwin-x64.tar.gz.sha1" ]
+    }

I'm not sure how to share this logic between this and the vulcanize template.

I was thinking of doing a base template("node") with an action but then I'd have
to copy all of the properties out of invoker...

Any ideas?

i think it might be worthwhile to make a "all things node" template and track
all inputs that might affect node.

perhaps a little simpler (for now): is it possible to hoist this logic out of
both rules to the top of this file and just append a common list of inputs to
both vulcanize / css_build?

node_inputs = []
if (is_linux) { node_inputs += [...] }
if (is_win) { node_inputs += [...] }
if (is_mac) { node_inputs += [...] }

template("vulcanize") {
  inputs = node_inputs
  ...
}

i don't know GN super well.  it looks like Python but isn't.

"All thing node" template was implemented at
https://codereview.chromium.org/2533153002. I never landed this (or sent for
review), but I can revive it if you think is useful.

+    foreach(_input, invoker.input_files) {
+      inputs += [ "$target_gen_dir/$_input" ]
+    }
+
+    outputs = []
+    foreach(_output, invoker.output_files) {
+      outputs += [ "$target_gen_dir/$_output" ]
+    }
+    deps = invoker.deps
+
+    args = [
+             "--out_folder",
+             rebase_path(target_gen_dir, root_build_dir),
+             "--input_files",
+           ] + invoker.input_files + [ "--output_files" ] + invoker.output_files
   }
 }
