Short Explanation and Infographic
Actions caches speed builds but they expire, hit size limits, and miss after inactivity—pipelines must stay correct cold. They are not immortal registries or forever integrity guarantees.

Full Explanation
GitHub Actions caching accelerates dependency and build artifact reuse within defined scopes, but caches are subject to size quotas and eviction of old or unused entries. Pipelines must remain correct on cold caches. Teams should choose stable cache keys, understand branch access rules for caches, and monitor restore rates. Caches are not an integrity guarantee forever and do not obsolete proper package registries. On GHES, storage backends and capacity planning further affect cache reliability. Administrators educate developers that cache is a performance optimization, not a source of truth for supply-chain provenance.
