Thanks for the contribution! As @twelsh-aw mentioned we'll want this to be opt-in for |
…uilds This commit introduces a new `use-cache` input to the Tailscale GitHub Action. When set to `true`, the action will attempt to restore/install Tailscale binaries from a GitHub Actions cache, rather than always downloading or rebuilding them. If the cache is a hit, the download/build steps are skipped, reducing network flakes and speeding up workflows. The default `false` preserves the original behavior, ensuring full backward compatibility.

This PR adds caching for Tailscale binary downloads to improve workflow performance and reduce bandwidth usage.
Motivation
At our company, we've experienced occasional download failures when our GitHub Actions workflows run on slower network nodes. These intermittent failures disrupt our CI/CD pipelines and require manual intervention. By implementing caching, we can significantly reduce these failures and improve the reliability of our workflows.
Changes:
This change is backward compatible and requires no configuration changes from users.
