GHA v1-v2 of actions/cache are closing down

[mareknovotny]

Starting February 1st, 2025, we are closing down v1-v2 of actions/cache (read more about it in this changelog announcement) as well as all previous versions of the @actions/cache package in actions/toolkit. Attempting to use a version of the @actions/cache package or actions/cache after the announced deprecation date will result in a workflow failure. If you are pinned to a specific version or SHA of the cache action, your workflows will also fail after February 1st.

What you need to do:
We strongly encourage you to update your workflows to begin using a supported version of actions/cache, and upgrade your actions or other products that depend on the @actions/cache package to 4.0.0 or above.

Supported versions and tags:

actions/cache:
