Description
GitHub has turned off their v1/v2 cache service and the Docker caching in the edx-platform unit tests CI no longer works.
Example error, from https://github.com/ScribeMD/docker-cache 0.5.0 "Post Cache Docker images" step:
https://github.com/openedx/edx-platform/actions/runs/15022132937/job/42213652674?pr=36718#step:31:12
Post job cleanup.
Warning: Failed to restore: Cache service responded with 422
...
Failed to save: Unable to reserve cache with key docker-Linux-mongo-7.0, another job may be creating this cache. More details: This legacy service is shutting down, effective April 15, 2025. Migrate to the new service ASAP. For more information: https://gh.io/gha-cache-sunset

Research direction
Start with the edx-platform unit tests CI workflow and the failing “Post Cache Docker images” step from ScribeMD/docker-cache 0.5.0. Check the GitHub Actions cache-service migration guidance, update the Docker caching configuration, and confirm the referenced unit-test CI job completes without cache-service errors.
