Research direction
Start by reviewing the setup-msys2 workflow and the prior discussion in issue #61 to understand why whole-installation caching was disabled. Identify the current installation and caching entry points, then define the experimental option and test it against the failure described there. Done means the option can be enabled and its behavior is validated.
