Description

Per reviewer comments of #74

Caching dependencies: We might want to cache our installed gems with actions/cache. This could speed up build times. I'm not sure how often we build or rebuild, so perhaps this doesn't matter. I assume we rebuild when a change is merged and a PR approved.

Research direction

Review the repository's GitHub Actions workflow and the linked official caching documentation first. Add caching for the installed gems so repeated builds can reuse them, then verify that the workflow completes successfully and uses the cache on subsequent runs.
