Description

The outputs / re-generate github action runs for a long time due to from source builds in the stacks section.
It should use the build cache like last successful run on the main branch: 50d9e65e0ce40a344101b05104eb6f5a2d0f83a4

I've disabled this action for now, here: https://github.com/spack/spack-tutorial/actions/workflows/outputs.yml

Research direction

Start with the disabled outputs workflow at .github/workflows/outputs.yml and compare its stacks section with commit 50d9e65e0ce40a344101b05104eb6f5a2d0f83a4 on main. Confirm the workflow uses the build cache for source builds, then verify that outputs / re-generate completes without the previous long build time before re-enabling it.
