[kentcdodds]

Add cache priming steps to the semantic content reindex workflow to ensure consistent cache availability.

Note

Low Risk
Workflow-only change that affects CI performance/consistency, with minimal risk beyond potential cache key/path misconfiguration causing stale or missing cache.

Overview
Updates the Index Semantic Search (content) GitHub Actions workflow to prime and cache other/cache.db before running the semantic indexing script.

The workflow now copies .env.example earlier, restores/saves a site-cache via actions/cache, and conditionally runs npm run build + npm run prime-cache:mocks only on cache misses to ensure the index step has consistent cache data.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The workflow configuration is reorganized to establish environment variables and site cache earlier in the job execution. Environment setup steps are moved before indexing operations, cache initialization is added, and conditional cache generation logic is introduced to optimize workflow runs.

🐰 Hop, hop! The workflows now flow so sweet,
With env files and caches, the setup's complete,
No duplication, just steps in their place,
The rabbit commits with efficient grace! ✨
