Which version of conda-lock, mamba and conda and please post the environment.yml you are trying to solve

@maresb you can potentially make use of `vendoring` which is the thing that pip uses. We can't use if for conda since conda can't easily be installed using pip, but...

@maresb I've got a similar one in #256 that uses vendoring to update conda

The other approach would be to make another pip resolver using the one from pip-tools (invocation here https://github.com/jazzband/pip-tools/blob/master/piptools/scripts/compile.py#L488-L499)

> * Can we turn Poetry into an optional dependency? It already IS an optional dependency. https://github.com/conda-incubator/conda-lock/blob/main/setup.cfg#L54-L55

If you want to rework the setup stuff to use `hatch` + `build` that would be fantastic and probably a good first step towards ensuring that we can straighten out...

Given that we already depend on both click and pydantic, all for that. Just not entirely sure if the default subcommand hack that we are using to avoid needing to...

If you're making use of the unified lockfile format it will install for the correct platform, and can install pip packages for you as well. So quite a bit more

Conda-lock should generally be installed in your base conda environment (if installed with conda) or by a tool like pipx

the unified lockfile format is the default, so you probably are making use of it
