Description
It's great that Studio Lab finds and builds conda environments using the `environment.yml` file.
It would be great to also support [conda-lock](https://github.com/conda-incubator/conda-lock#conda-lock) files, which have the advantage of 100% reliable reproducibility and speed, since the conda (or mamba) solver does not need to be invoked.
As an example repo that works with Studio Lab (and that has a conda-lock file), check out:
