ZacharyZhang-NY 13ccab980c ci: warm a main-branch build cache so release tag builds aren't cold
GitHub Actions cache isolation lets a run restore caches only from its own
ref or the default branch. Releases run on tag refs and nothing ever ran
on main, so release.yml's rust-cache never restored anything — every
release compiled all 62 crates cold on five targets (~50 min, gated by
Windows at ~49.5 min).

warm-cache.yml builds the same release-dist profile with the same
rust-cache key on main (dep-affecting pushes — including each release's
version-bump commit — plus a weekly refresh against 7-day eviction and
manual dispatch). Tag builds then restore a warm default-branch cache;
the remaining cost is workspace-crate compilation + the codegen-units=1
thin-LTO link, which is the deliberate release-hardening tradeoff.

name: Warm build cache
# Release builds run on TAG refs, and GitHub Actions cache isolation only
# lets a run restore caches created on its OWN ref or the DEFAULT branch.
# No workflow ran on `main`, so every release compiled the whole workspace
# cold on all five targets (~50 min wall clock, gated by Windows). This
# workflow builds the same `release-dist` profile on `main` so tag builds
# restore a warm default-branch cache.
#
# Triggers: dependency-affecting pushes to main (each release's version-bump
# commit warms the cache for the NEXT release), a weekly refresh so the
# cache never hits GitHub's 7-day unused-eviction, and manual dispatch.
#
# The setup steps mirror release.yml's build job (toolchain, target,
# dotslash/protoc, rust-cache key) — keep them in lockstep, or the cache
# key won't match and releases go back to cold builds.
