+### Testing a library
+
+Rust library projects typically [do not put][cargo-faq] `Cargo.lock` under
+version control. It can be generated with the `cargo generate-lockfile` command
+assisted by the registry index cache that is used and possibly updated
+for every workflow run. The same index cache is reused by the test jobs.
