Description

In our feedstock building test, I am not sure if we should include a step where we re-render the feedstock. I think we should, since if we want to reduce surprises on release day, we should. Re-rendering updates the global pins, so it would help us identify an issue with upstream dependencies.

Research direction

Locate the feedstock building test and inspect how it currently handles rendering and global pins. Decide whether a re-render belongs in that test, then ensure the test reflects the decision and can expose upstream dependency changes before release.
