It was not clear to me from the docs that stages without an input stage are always rerun, thus invalidating any downstream stages.
I just spent half an hour debugging this, and haven't seen this documented clearly. Instead I found it here in the code:
dud/src/index/run.go
Lines 55 to 58 in 1b99eff
I think it would be good do document it in the
dud run
docstring, as proposed in this PR.
