Research direction

Start by locating the nix-local-build implementation and the handling of custom Setup rebuilds. Reproduce the reported case, then trace why reconfiguration is skipped after the rebuild. Done means the build reconfigures correctly after a custom Setup rebuild, with a regression test if the existing test structure supports it.
