Could you explain the different use cases for sourcing setup.sh/bash/zsh vs local_setup.sh/bash/zsh?

It looks like the docs are using local_setup.bash now?

The local_setup files set the environment for the current workspace. It doesn't consider other parent workspaces. If there are any you need to source them manually using their files.

The setup files set the environment for all the parent workspaces first (by sourcing their local_setup files in the order they appear in COLCON_PREFIX_PATH when this workspace was built) and then sources the local_setup file of this workspace.
