@nx/dependency-checks - non deterministic behavior

[RobbyRabbitman]

Current Behavior

The eslint rule @nx/dependency-checks does not seem to find dependencies when 1. every (?) project has not been build yet and 2. without running nx reset.

After 1. every (?) project has been build and 2. nx reset has run, @nx/dependency-checks does find the dependencies.

This behavior makes nx affected with eslint not usable in ci.

Expected Behavior

Make @nx/dependency-checks behave deterministic.
