Pants

Q15: When I run check/test, sometimes it asks me to run `generate-lockfiles` manually. (I configured separate lockfile pahts for pytest and mypy as instructed.) Could I make pants to do it automatically? In what conditions does it ask to do so?

It puts a metadata header on your lockfile, if the metadata doesn't meet the expectation it'll ask.
Generally, that means the dependency or additional plugins don't match pants.toml
