Disable julia-actions/cache for self-hosted runners as they persist between runs, which causes the cache action to fail when the depot already exists. This change: - Adds conditional logic to detect self-hosted runners via USE_SELF_HOSTED repository variable - Passes self-hosted=true when USE_SELF_HOSTED is set - Disables cache when running on self-hosted runners To use self-hosted runners, set the USE_SELF_HOSTED repository variable to 'true'.

Summary
USE_SELF_HOSTEDrepository variable to detect when using self-hosted runnersProblem
As discussed in Slack, the caching fails on self-hosted runners because they don't clean slate between runs, so the depot already exists when the cache action tries to restore it.
