+synopsis: "Hash mismatch diagnostics for fixed-output derivations include the URL"
+cls: [1536]
+credits: [jade]
+category: Improvements
+---
+
+Now, when building fixed-output derivations, Lix will guess the URL that was used in the derivation using the `url` or `urls` properties in the derivation environment.
+This is a layering violation but making these diagnostics tractable when there are multiple instances of the `AAAA` hash is too significant of an improvement to pass it up.
