Research direction

Start by locating the documentation that describes the cache and its intended use. Update it to warn that the cache is not long-term storage and that cache-directory compatibility can break across minor versions such as 1.4.X to 1.5.X; the documentation should clearly communicate this limitation.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

documentation

The cache is not intended for long term storage, this means during minor version changes e.g., from 1.4.X to 1.5.X the backwards compatibility of the cache directory was broken.
