Description

https://github.com/chainguard-dev/melange/actions/runs/8526927513

has many errors, and pages of error messages..... but lint works, and there are non red-herring issues identified in the end of the run.

I don't know if lint pipeline can be improved to be a "github checker" which does inline code comments on things it identifies.

And separately I don't understand the tar errors, possibly to do with restoring precached runs? which fails and are ignored? maybe turning off attempts to restore cache will make the build faster and have less errors.

Research direction

Start with the linked GitHub Actions run and review the lint logs, separating the tar errors from the valid lint findings. Trace whether cache restoration is involved and determine whether the workflow can report findings more clearly; done means the misleading errors are removed or explained without hiding genuine lint issues.
