Bazel Remote Cache Serves Stale Artifacts After External Repository Update
Problem Overview Bazel’s remote cache uses content‑addressable storage keyed by the checksum of downloaded artifacts. When the definition of an external repository (e.g., a git_repository or http_archive ) is updated to point at a new commit or URL, Bazel may still reuse a cached artifact if the checksum matches an older version. This can lead to a build tha
