Canary only (not for merge), for promoting zackees/setup-soldr@v0 from 66c33b0 to f9a6e969a1ab02e9b4a39018991c45a8945329db. The only change in that range is zackees/setup-soldr#563: save-cache=auto saves fully when ACT is set. The GitHub-hosted path is unchanged. This PR has the same shape as #1613: every setup-soldr pin is set to the exact candidate SHA. It is labeled ci-full because setup-soldr's update-v0-tag.yml gate requires it.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Chores
    • Automated validation and build workflows now use a fixed setup version, helping keep their results consistent across runs. Existing workflow steps and test commands remain unchanged. The documentation has also been updated to reflect the version used by these workflows.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The soldr setup action now uses commit f9a6e969a1ab02e9b4a39018991c45a8945329db instead of the v0 tag in the listed workflows. The workflow README documents the same binary pin.

💡 Result:

Commit `f9a6e96` changes `save-cache=auto` so cache saves happen on local `act`/`act2` runs—even for `pull_request` events. Explicit `save-cache=true` and `false` still take precedence, and GitHub-run behavior is unchanged. The commit also adds tests for these cases.

source diff implementation f9a6e969a1ab02e9b4a39018991c45a8945329db zackees setup-soldr save-cache auto act GitHub behavior

💡 Result:

## Commit `f9a6e969…`: `save-cache: auto` behavior

This change fixes local **`act`/`act2`** runs—not GitHub-hosted Actions behavior:

- **Under `act`/`act2`:** `save-cache: auto` saves cache layers even when `GITHUB_EVENT_NAME` is `pull_request`. The implementation detects a local runner through a truthy `ACT` environment variable.
- **On GitHub Actions:** `auto` retains the existing policy: it does **not** save on `pull_request`.
- **Explicit settings still take precedence:** `save-cache: true` saves; `save-cache: false` skips, including under `act`.
- **Tests changed** to control `ACT` explicitly and cover these cases, including that every cache layer saves for a local pull-request run.

The commit’s explanation is that local `act` cache servers lack GitHub’s ref-scoping and cache-budget constraints, so skipping PR saves meant local runs kept restoring but never saving—making subsequent local builds cold. That rationale is the commit author’s explanation; the tests establish the intended decision behavior. ([github.com](https://github.com/zackees/setup-soldr/commit/f9a6e969a1ab02e9b4a39018991c45a8945329db))

**Bottom line:** with this change, a local `act` pull-request run using the default `auto` can warm the cache for later local runs, while GitHub’s PR-save policy remains unchanged. ([github.com](https://github.com/zackees/setup-soldr/commit/f9a6e969a1ab02e9b4a39018991c45a8945329db))

Describe the SHA as a temporary setup-action canary, not as the Soldr binary pin.

The version input controls the installed Soldr binary. At this action revision, its default is 0.9.27. The f9a6e... SHA pins the setup-action implementation and enables the local ACT cache behavior; GitHub-hosted behavior remains unchanged.

Treat this action SHA as an explicit exception to the normal @v0 guidance.

Suggested README update
-All `zackees/setup-soldr@f9a6e969a1ab02e9b4a39018991c45a8945329db` steps pin the installed soldr binary version.

-Keep the action reference at `@v0`;

+Keep the action reference at `@v0` for normal release updates. Temporary
