Description

Deleting a clog.sidecar and regenerating from scratch produces different output that incremental generation.

Generated code should reliably produce the same output, and I can't imagine why previous output should feed back into the next output.

The issue names no files or tests. First reproduce generation from a deleted clog.sidecar and compare it with incremental generation; inspect the generator entry points responsible for the differing output. Done means both paths reliably produce the same generated code.
