as per @zkochan feedback here. This PR updates the cache system so:

  • every run saves cache under a unique key, regardless if a cache entry already exists for the current lockfile
  • cache restoration looks for the most recent lockfile match

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved cache restoration and saving to prevent partial or failed installations from being reused incorrectly.
    • Cache saves now use unique run-specific keys while restoring the latest valid cache for the current lockfile.
    • Clarified cache-hit reporting to indicate an exact lockfile match rather than a fallback cache.
  • Documentation

    • Updated documentation describing cache key behavior and lockfile requirements.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The cache flow now uses a lockfile-specific restore prefix and run-unique save keys. cache-hit checks lockfile matching. Cache saving no longer skips based on restored state. Documentation and tests cover the new behavior.

Changes

Cache key and restore flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Save key contract and tests
src/cache-restore/keys.ts, src/cache-restore/keys.test.mjs
getPrimaryCacheKey is replaced by getSaveCacheKey. Save keys include the run ID and resolved runtime versions. Tests cover runtime, run, retry, restore-prefix, and exact-hit behavior.
Lockfile restore and cache-hit flow
src/cache-restore/run.ts
Restore uses a lockfile-specific prefix with a plain-prefix fallback. Finalization creates a run-attempt-specific save key and reports whether the restored key matches the lockfile prefix.
Cache save behavior and documentation
src/cache-save/run.ts, README.md, action.yml
Saving no longer skips work when restored state matches the primary key. Documentation describes run-unique save keys, fallback restoration, and lockfile-based cache-hit semantics.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 641dc

Each run now creates a restorable cache and later runs prefer the freshest matching lockfile cache. If a workflow fails after its cache key is finalized, a partial store could be restored by a later matching run; this is bounded but should remain an explicit owner follow-up.

Each run saves with a key in sight
Partial stores cannot claim the way
Runtime paths remain distinct each day

Confidence Score: 4/5

The PR is not yet safe to merge because equivalent cache-writing jobs in one workflow attempt can still target the same immutable cache key and prevent one job’s final store from being published.

The current key includes workflow run and attempt identity but no job or matrix identity, so concurrent equivalent jobs still compute the same save key and only one resulting snapshot can be retained.

P1 Workflow-wide cache key collisions

If two cache-writing jobs in one workflow run share the same OS, architecture, runtime identity, and lockfile, GITHUB_RUN_ID gives them identical immutable save keys. The second job cannot publish its final store, leaving the first snapshot in place or causing the post action to report a reservation conflict.

// We don't need to download everything again if only one dependency changed.
// We can still re-use a previous store to cache the rest of the unchanged
// dependencies. Saves are keyed by run id (see getSaveCacheKey), so
// lockfileKeyPrefix itself never matches exactly: every restore falls
// through to the prefix search and picks up the most recent matching entry.

P2 Comments replace cache behavior tests

These new comments narrate restore ordering and save control flow, while focused tests do not cover freshest-prefix selection, fallback cache-hit reporting, or missing-primary-key save handling. Refactor the behavior to be self-explanatory and add executable coverage so these contracts cannot silently drift.
