How to Instruct Hugo Pipe not To Build Caches into public/ Directory?

How to tell/redirect image processing resources from bundling its caches into the output folder?

My image processor partial function:

...
{{- $ret = resources.GetMatch $v.Source -}}
{{- if $ret -}}
        {{- if $v.Resize -}}
                {{- $ret = $original.Resize $data.Dimension -}}
        {{- end -}}
        {{- $ret = resources.Copy $data.Filename $ret -}}
        {{- $data = merge $data (dict "URL" $ret.Permalink) -}}
        ...
{{- end -}}
...

It did build the output favicons image files as intended, shown as follows, along its cache directory called images/, where the cache directory was explicitly instructed to be outside of the destination directory:

(Build command: hugo --cacheDir "..." --cleanDestinationDir --forceSyncStatic --minify --destination "...")

When I attempt to build with --ignore-cache to remove that image/ cache directory off the publication directory, some of the favicon images failed to process at all (0 in size):

(Build command: hugo --cacheDir "..." --ignoreCache --cleanDestinationDir --forceSyncStatic --minify --destination "...")

Try this,

...
{{- $ret = resources.GetMatch $v.Source -}}
{{- if $ret -}}
        {{- if $v.Resize -}}
                {{- $ret = $original.Resize $data.Dimension -}}
        {{- end -}}
        
        {{- $ret_new := $ret.Content | resources.FromString $data.Filename -}}
        {{- $data = merge $data (dict "URL" $ret_new.Permalink) -}}
        ...
{{- end -}}

Thanks! It works flawlessly with build command: hugo --cacheDir "..." --ignoreCache --cleanDestinationDir --forceSyncStatic --minify --destination "..."

UPDATE:

I refactored it as follows, it works as well:

...
{{- $ret = resources.GetMatch $v.Source -}}
{{- if $ret -}}
        {{- if $v.Resize -}}
                {{- $ret = $original.Resize $data.Dimension -}}
        {{- end -}}
        
        {{- $ret = resources.FromString $data.Filename $ret.Content -}}
        {{- $data = merge $data (dict "URL" $ret_new.Permalink) -}}
        ...
{{- end -}}
...
