Caching
Cache Hit
A cache hit occurs when a lookup finds stored data that satisfies the requested key and compatibility rules. Exact and partial matches may have different meanings, so a restored archive does not always indicate an exact hit.
Why it matters
A usable match can eliminate work, but partial restores may still require validation.
Practical example
Check the cache action's exact-match output before skipping an installation step.
