Describe the problem

Hi,

I'm using the action in a pretty basic way

    - name: Install Task
      uses: arduino/setup-task@v1

I can see that task is being downloaded and installed fine. Including putting the binary into the cache /opt/hostedtoolcache

Run arduino/setup-task@v1

Successfully setup Task version v3.27.1

However when I run a job again (with a new commit), I don't see the task binary being found in the cache, nor do I see any task-related caches in the github actions cache UI. Is this desired behaviour?

Thanks

To reproduce

Run the action multiple times (with new commits)

Expected behavior

I would expect the task binary to be cached in my action, and not re-downloaded.

'arduino/setup-task' version

@v1
