Cargo marks file as "dirty" but no change can be seen

Hi!

I'm working in a team with different people who work in a single workspace.
I have setup a build pipeline in Azure Devops for the workspace.
I've configured caching on /target and ~/.cargo directories.
And this seems to work really nicely except for one single file in the workspace.
It's a lib file which contains a custom macro. So that might be a clue.
But not sure how caching the whole /target would not work on this as well..

Dirty derive_macros v0.1.0 (/home/vsts/work/1/s/common_libraries/ccl/src/foo/bar_macros): the file `common_libraries/ccl/src/foo/bar_macros/src/lib.rs` has changed (1722260363.364154891s, 54m 21s after last build at 1722257102.000000000s)

I even did a desperate check on the file before and after build to see if that changes somehow(which would have messed up the initial cache?)

The nesting of this lib also seems a bit weird.

Are there any factors that are taking into account by cargo to mark a file as dirty? Or am i missing something completely else?
