The dnf transaction is essentially the whole cost of a build — emulated rpm scriptlets for 502 packages on minimal, 1929 on workstation. Everything after it is minutes. Getting this laptop to boot will take several attempts at the kernel command line and the dracut driver list, and paying for a reinstall each time is not tenable. Stage the post-dnf tree under <work>/base, keyed on a hash of the package lists, release and variant, and copy it per build with --reflink=auto (a CoW clone on btrfs). Config and overlay edits now reuse it; package list edits invalidate it on their own, so --fresh is only needed to force the issue. Keep downloaded rpms in a cachedir outside the install root, so even --fresh re-runs the scriptlets without re-downloading. keepcache=0 was exactly the wrong setting for a build meant to be run repeatedly. Add --work so CI can put both outside the job workspace, which is wiped between runs, and default the build container to the gongfoo aarch64 build base so the assembly tooling is not installed under emulation every time. That image is a speedup, not a dependency: fall back to stock Fedora when it is unreachable.
