This shaves off 2 minutes (20% of previous CI wall time) for each CI run. |

Why do we want the date to be in the cache key?

Adding the date ensure the cache is updated daily to account for any changes in conda package versions. See https://github.com/marketplace/actions/setup-miniconda#caching-environments, which I essentially copied here.

So at this point, we have an empty environment?

Yes, the env always be updated in the last step, whether the cache exists or not.

Do we want to throw the conda version in there too?

I don't think it's necessary. The cache is invalidated every 24 hours, so within that time period, if the conda version changes and somehow the resolved set of packages for our ci-environment.yml changes we can easily invalidate the cache on this page: https://github.com/microsoft/yardl/actions/caches.
