6 months ago IIRC, we use conda-lock to resolve and lock an environment.yml into a conda-lock.yml file. Then conda-lock install takes the lockfile and creates the environment. Naively speaking, "all this needs" (famous last words) is a dropdown to choose the kind of input conda-lock is expecting (environment.yml, conda-lock.yml straight, or something else). Maybe a couple refactors in the database if the "environment.yml is the only input" assumption is too hardcoded.

Feature description
The only(ish) way to guarantee a fully reproduced environment is through lockfiles. We produce them, but that's only truly useful if we can USE them.
I propose that conda-store add the ability to create environments from lockfiles.
Value and/or benefit
Reproducibility!
Anything else?
