Description

Description

We're currently only using cache on the lintcheck.yml workflow. This means that we're downloading and building the same crates a lot. We currently use about 50s on that Build step. About a third of the CI time.

We should use the rust-cache Action for this purpose.

Research direction

Start by inspecting the lintcheck.yml workflow and the other CI workflows that build Rust crates. Review the rust-cache action documentation, identify which build jobs lack caching, and verify that the affected CI jobs use the cache successfully without changing their existing checks.
