I'd say it's somewhere in between. Sure it's marketed in the CI space, but to me the selling point of Dagger is not so much "write your GitHub workflows/GitLab CI in JavaScript" but "local exec, sandboxing, determinism, and fine-grained (remote) caching for mere mortals". So comparing it to Bazel/Buck2 is reasonable.
