I took a step back and realized the fundamental issue was the newly
introduced cache.
Without the cache, everything works fine.
With the cache, things break.
Going a layer deeper, this probably means the bug is only for cache hits, as
cache misses will just recompute.
So the failure scenario is when the cache hits, but the return value is
wrong.
Fundamentally, there are a couple issues with the function definition
```
@lru_cache
def _manifests(io: FileIO, manifest_list: str) -> List[ManifestFile]:
"""Return the manifests from the manifest list."""
file = io.new_input(manifest_list)
return list(read_manifest_list(file))
```
First, the cache key is both io and manifest_list, whereas we just want the
key to be manifest_list
Second, the result is a list, which can be mutated leading to the wrong
result.
Here’s an example to showcase the different cache keys
```
cache = {}
def _manifests(io: FileIO, manifest_list: str, snapshot: Snapshot) ->
List[ManifestFile]:
"""Return the manifests from the manifest list."""
# key = (manifest_list, ) # works
# key = (manifest_list, io) # fails
key = (manifest_list, snapshot) # works
if key in cache:
return cache[key]
cache[key] = list(read_manifest_list(io.new_input(manifest_list)))
return cache[key]
```
Without digging into where it is breaking or why only for M1 Macs, there are
2 potential solutions:
1. Move the manifest cache to the Snapshot instance
2. Use the `cachetools` library to specify `manifest_list` as the only cache
key (see [stack
overflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30730983/make-lru-cache-ignore-some-of-the-function-arguments))
