Summary
When running on PR or push events, prefer cache entries from the base commit (PR base branch) or previous commit (push before SHA) over generic fallbacks. This improves cache hit rates for incremental builds.
Changes
Modified
sources/src/caching/cache-key.tsto add a new restore key that targets the base/previous commit SHA.Restore key hierarchy is now:
Event Support
pull_request/pull_request_target: Usespayload.pull_request.base.shapush: Usespayload.before(skips Git null SHA for new branches)Rationale
For PR workflows, the cache from the base branch is often more relevant than a random previous run. This change prioritizes that cache entry while maintaining backward compatibility with the existing fallback chain.
