No, it checks the URLs without consulting Hydra's cache. It does not
check the content itself (the hashes).
From that page, I noticed the issues with Cook and Aegis last year but —
considering the situation, and not knowing that Hydra's cache was not
backed up — I decided to work on other things. The cache would never
have deleted the source code as long as the packages remained in our
tree.
This project is trying to address the problem:

I wonder if Guix can use that archive as a last resort?
