Research direction

Start by tracing the cache renaming performed during taskgraph's d2g translation, then compare how generic worker and docker worker tasks are submitted. Done means caches created by docker worker tasks can be shared with compatible generic worker tasks without breaking existing cache behavior.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

feature

So long as the docker worker task is submitted to a generic worker pool (and being translated via d2g), I think it'd make sense to be able to share these docker worker caches with generic worker tasks as well.

I believe there's some renaming of the cache that happens inside taskgraph that's currently making it so generic worker and docker worker tasks cannot share caches.
