# This is the dir renovate provides -- if we set our own directory via cacheDir, we can run into permissions issues.
# It is also possible to cache a higher level of the directory, but it has minimal benefit. While renovate execution
# time gets faster, it also takes longer to upload the cache as it grows bigger.

# This third party action allows you to download the cache artifact from different workflow runs
# Note that actions/cache doesn't work well because the cache key would need to be computed from
# a file within the cache, meaning there would never be any data to restore. With other keys, the
# cache wouldn't necessarily upload when it changes. actions/download-artifact also doesn't work
# because it only handles artifacts uploaded in the same run, and we want to restore from the
# previous successful run.
