Description

Github action did have a process to manage tooling: https://github.com/actions/toolkit/tree/main/packages/tool-cache you can find a tool version before download and install. On self hosted runner, if you already have the tool in the cache, it means it is wwwaaayyyyy faster to setup.

Is there plan to support this ?

thank you

Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked @actions/tool-cache package and the action's current pnpm download path. Done means the action can find and reuse a cached pnpm version on self-hosted runners instead of always downloading it; the issue does not name an entry point or test to run.
