Description

By default Reclient caches failed executions. It would be nice to be able to filter these so they don't get persisted. For example, the GrpcStore concurrency issue caused many builds to fail and now they won't re-try because they have failures in the action cache.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Explore the action cache implementation in the codebase, specifically how failures are cached and how a filter could be added to exclude failed executions. Look for existing configuration mechanisms and the storage layer (e.g., GrpcStore).
