🌐 Web query:
actions/checkout v5 action.yml persist-credentials default true local git config
💡 Result:
In the actions/checkout action version 5 (v5), the persist-credentials input defaults to true [1][2][3]. When this option is enabled, the action configures the GitHub authentication token or SSH key directly into the local git configuration [1][2][4][5]. This allows subsequent git commands executed within the workflow job to run using the same authenticated credentials [1][4]. These credentials are automatically removed during the post-job cleanup process [1][4]. If you wish to disable this behavior, you can explicitly set persist-credentials to false in your workflow step configuration [1][4]. Note that this behavior was updated in later versions (starting from v6), where credentials began to be stored in the runner's temporary directory instead of the local git config [6].

Disable persisted checkout credentials.
actions/checkout@v5 persists the token in the local Git configuration by default. Later steps can read this token from the workspace. This job only needs local repository history, so set persist-credentials: false.

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Restrict Rust cache saves to trusted invocations.
The workflow runs on pull_request, and both Swatinem/rust-cache@v2 steps default to save-if: true. Set save-if explicitly so pull requests restore caches but cannot publish them. Preserve cache saving only for the validated Release Control dispatch path.

Summary
mainto populate Rust caches while pull requests remain restore-onlyWhy
Rust jobs were restoring caches but still rebuilding expensive artifacts, while the primary pull request workflows were configured not to publish updated cache entries. Some workspaces built by the Harness test lanes were also absent from the cache configuration. These changes improve cache reuse and add timing artifacts so remaining compile cost can be measured directly.
Impact
Pull requests should avoid the unconditional integration-engine rebuild when the binary cache matches. Trusted
mainruns refresh reusable caches, and maintainers gain Cargo timing reports plus dependency-audit coverage.Validation
