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.

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.
