Bazel computes the output directory hash for artifacts under bazel-out when there is a transition. It computes the hash by only looking at the transition build settings which have changed. As a result, the same target built with the same build setting can be placed into different output directories, depending on which target transitioned into it. This makes it impossible to determine where we can expect to find a built artifact.
