For example, let's say comps is changed to add a package (default/mandatory) to a group - will dnf say "a-ha, I have this group installed, I need to add this package"?I believe it does do that on upgrades when a group is marked as installed, yes.
Interesting. I sometimes stumble upon something like "Installing packages/groups" during updates and I always wondered why. Need to observe this next time.

In the past there was an issue where groups weren't marked as installed when installing from a live image (so e.g. after installing from the Workstation live, the 'gnome-desktop' group wasn't marked installed), but I believe that finally got resolved somewhere along the way, so will only affect older, long-upgraded installs now.
