Q6: Where can I inspect the venvs and lock files auto-generated by pants? (Do they exist?)

Both “locks” (or repositories) and environments are managed using the pex tool https://pex.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ And all those files and things normally lives in
~/.cache/pants/…
along with the
pantsd
cache database etc.
There’s also a
./pants export
goal that creates a venv for you with required dependencies and tools etc in your
dist
folder, useful for IDE integration and such.
