This sounds highly broken somehow. Bazel’s raison d'etre is rebuilding only the necessary dependencies. Maybe this is a case of someone trying to force-fit a process that doesn’t look like bazel’s opinions with some custom rules that break it at the core? Pretty much all my bazel/blaze experience has been at google or in other side projects built from the start with bazel, but I have never encountered anything like that. The only complaints I’ve had is that building python slows the scripting loop, and that for side projects without google’s build infrastructure the rebuild-the-world-at-head-from-source method can get very expensive. But this sounds really unfortunate and nothing like the tool I’ve used :/
