You understand wrong. The cache dir (/var/lib/lago) is bind-mounted
into mock, so it persists across runs.

This is interesting cause I see it constantly downloads some RPMs each run. Maybe repos updated that fast then it makes sense. Will take a look during debug.

You still need an isolated environment to run Lago itself and its
dependencies. Also the test code itself is not running in a VM.

Ok. Makes sense if the tests run outside the lago. And also since we bind mount that should be good enough.
