Description

Is there any particular reason we're still caching the nightly builds? I don't think there's any reason to want them running fast. It'd be nice to save the compute but if it pollutes the cache so that PR gates aren't cached I think disabling them is a net-positive on compute.

Research direction

Start by locating the nightly test workflow configuration and inspect how caching is enabled for those jobs. Done means nightly builds no longer use caching while PR gate caching continues to work as intended.
