Arming ConditionNeedsUpdate

What is the post transaction-hook Arming ConditionNeedsUpdate...?

I see it after installing any package. Whether I install a specific package/app or after updating.

It is a systemd hook that ultimately does this:

touch -c /usr

I guess it just updates the timestamp on /usr if anything in /usr changes.

there’s a ton of jargon in a typical yay update output that’s I’d like to know about as well. good question.
