Description

Summary

Every time I run cargo clippy --fix --allow-dirty --allow-staged, the command builds the packages are checked and built without respecting the cache. If I simply run cargo clippy, then the caching starts to work again.

Reproducer

Try to run cargo clippy --fix --allow-dirty --allow-staged twice in a large project without changing anything.

Research direction

Start by running cargo clippy --fix --allow-dirty --allow-staged twice in a large unchanged project, then compare the second run with two plain cargo clippy runs. Investigate the Clippy and Cargo integration involved in fix mode and cache reuse. Done means repeated fix-mode runs respect the cache without requiring a separate plain Clippy invocation.
