Description
Description:
The Node.js version should be included in the cache key. The major version number, (e.g., 22 in 22.12) should be used to avoid unnecessary invalidation when upgrading to patch or minor versions.
This is similar to https://github.com/actions/setup-node/issues/1008.
Justification:
Some dependencies need to be rebuilt for specific Node versions. Reusing the cache for an older version results in dependency installation failures.
