+name: Cache Service Probe
+
+# Temporary diagnostic for #178, to be deleted once it has answered its
+# question. actions/cache refuses to run here, printing its GHES warning, on
+# both v3 and v4. Two explanations remain and they need different fixes:
+#
+#   1. Cache is off in act_runner's config, so no ACTIONS_CACHE_URL is exported
+#      and the runner has nothing to point a patched bundle at. Fix is
+#      cache.enabled in config.yaml.
+#   2. Cache is served, but the runner's bundle patcher does not recognise
+#      these bundles and so leaves the GHES gate shut. That is a runner bug
+#      worth reporting upstream.
+#
+# An exported cache URL tells the two apart.
