In every stage of a `Dockerfile`, `ARG CACHEBUST` comes right after the steps
that install system packages, download Go's modules or run `script/bootstrap` to
install a Python `test` phase's packages from `Pipfile.lock`, or right after
`FROM` in a stage with none of these, and every step that lints, tests or
compiles comes after it. The `script/` builds pass a new `CACHEBUST` value on
every build, which reruns every `RUN` step after that line and leaves the layers
above it and the cache mounts in place; `--no-cache` would build those layers
again and empty the mounts. This repo's own `Dockerfile` declares
`ARG CACHEBUST` right after `FROM` in every stage: each stage installs system
packages and node packages together in one `script/bootstrap` step, and check

In every stage of a `Dockerfile`, every step that lints, tests or compiles comes

- the steps that install system packages

- the step that runs `script/bootstrap` to install a Python `test` phase's

A stage with none of these steps declares `ARG CACHEBUST` right after `FROM`.

`COPY Pipfile Pipfile.lock ./`, then `RUN script/bootstrap`. In that step
`script/bootstrap` installs nothing beyond system packages, pipenv and its
dependencies by hash, and the packages from the lockfile, and no Python, since
the tests use the base image's. `--deploy` installs only what the lockfile
names, checks every package against its hashes, and fails when the lockfile is
out of date with `Pipfile`. A kept layer holds nothing a new install would
refuse, except that a package built from source and the system packages may
differ from a new install. The packages are kept as a layer, not a cache
