I tried to reproduce the problem in a dummy repo and couldn't. Both workflows successfully interact with the (same) cached state. So I have no evidence that what I've done here will help. |

PR summary
Attempting to work around actions/stale#1124. I have no background in typescript (or javascript) but as far as I can make out from the relevant code the action only has one hard-coded cache. This means our (my 馃悜) approach of having the two workflows would not be expected to work because the second one would interfere with the cache saved by the first one. Temporarily pinning the version for the second workflow back to v8 means it will not go looking for the cache at all. Perhaps the linked bug report will ultimately become a feature request to change the way the cache is referenced.
I am still clueless about why neither workflow found the cache at all, so do not know whether this change will help. I figure if nothing else it can provide an extra data point for the bug report.
Also added
workflow_dispatchtriggers so that we can run these on demand rather than waiting days to find out whether the changes helped.Very open to other suggestions, which may include "just wait for feedback on the bug report"!
