The persistent Spyre kernel cache lives under the same path; enable it and persist it across runs with a tightly-keyed actions/cache entry so repeated CI runs can reuse compiled kernels. The cache directory must be stable across runs for restore to find prior artifacts; run_id is intentionally omitted.
