Chore: Remove the cache-clearing workflow - #17
Conversation
This repository writes no Actions cache entries, so the cache-clearing workflow offers an operation that can never have anything to act on. An audit of the organisation parsed every workflow and composite action as YAML and classified each step, following `uses:` references through local actions and reusable workflows. Nothing reachable from this repository's workflows uses actions/cache, a caching setup-* action, or a buildx GitHub Actions cache backend. The workflow arrived here from actions-template, which seeded it into every new repository regardless of need. The template no longer carries it. Repositories that do cache now call the reusable workflow in generic-workflows through a thin caller instead. Should this repository ever start caching, adding that caller back is a few lines.
