@QuinnDamerell asked whether there are compatibility issues with the Dependabot upgrade of actions/cache from v4.3.0 to v5.0.2.

Analysis

  • v5.0.2 is fully backward compatible - No breaking changes to cache API (path, key, restore-keys work identically)
  • Runner requirements met - v5 requires Node.js 24 and runner v2.327.1+; all workflows use GitHub-hosted ubuntu-latest which exceeds this
  • Tests passing - Lint workflow succeeded on dependabot branch
  • Performance improvement - v5 integrates with GitHub's new cache backend (v2) for improved reliability
  • Timeline - Legacy cache service sunsets February 1st, 2025; upgrade recommended

No action needed beyond merging the Dependabot PR.
