Redesigns the caching section of the Job Summary into a single,
consistent layout across every cache provider and state, and integrates
the provider message into the report rather than appending it
disconnected at the bottom.
## Motivation
The caching report was produced by three divergent code paths (NoOp /
basic / enhanced), each rendering its own markdown:
- **Explicitly disabled** → a one-line message, no expand, no provider
note.
- **Enhanced** (incl. skipped-due-to-existing-home) → a full `<details>`
block.
- **Basic** → a one-line message with **no** expandable details at all.
The Enhanced/Basic provider note floated at the very bottom,
disconnected from the report.
## What changed
`save()` now returns structured `CacheReport` data instead of
pre-rendered HTML, and a single renderer (`caching-report.ts`) produces
one unified layout for all variants:
- **Section heading**: `#### <icon> Gradle Caching — <Provider>
(<status>)`
- **Status line** explaining what the cache did
- **Integrated provider note** woven in under the heading — now shown
**unconditionally** (no longer gated on license acceptance)
- **Expandable cache-entry details** when there are entries — basic
caching now gets this too
The two disabled variants (explicitly disabled, and skipped due to a
pre-existing Gradle User Home) render as **compact callouts with no
expandable section**.
### Main repo
- `caching-report.ts` (new): central renderer + all framing copy + entry
table/`<pre>` helpers.
- `cache-service.ts`: `CacheReport` / `CacheEntryReport` / status types;
`save()` returns `CacheReport`.
- `cache-service-loader.ts`: `NoOp` returns a report;
`LicenseWarningCacheService` removed; new `getProviderNote()`.
- `cache-service-basic.ts`: builds a `CacheReport`.
- `job-summary.ts` / `setup-gradle.ts`: thread `CacheReport` +
`ProviderNote`.
- `configuration.ts`: remove now-unused `isCacheLicenseAccepted()`.
### Vendored library
The structured contract requires **gradle-actions-caching v0.7.0**
(gradle/actions-caching#74). This PR updates the vendored library to
that release — the official `Update gradle-actions-caching library to
v0.7.0` vendor commit is included here, so merging this PR ships the
redesign together with the library it depends on.
## Testing
- Both repos build; prettier + eslint clean.
- `gradle/actions`: 363/363 Jest tests pass, including new
`caching-report.test.ts` covering every variant.
- `gradle-actions-caching`: 74/74 pass under JDK 17.
- Rendered markdown verified for all five variants (enhanced/basic
enabled & read-only, disabled, skipped).

## Summary
- **New `basic` cache provider**: Adds an open-source (MIT-licensed)
caching implementation built on `@actions/cache` as an alternative to
the proprietary Enhanced Caching. Users can opt in with `cache-provider:
basic` on both `setup-gradle` and `dependency-submission` actions.
- **Revamped licensing & distribution docs**: Replaces the verbose
licensing notice block (previously shown in README, docs, and logs) with
a friendlier callout and a new dedicated
[DISTRIBUTION.md](./DISTRIBUTION.md) covering component licensing, usage
tiers, data privacy ("Safe Harbor"), and opt-out instructions.
- **Improved messaging**: Enhanced Caching and Basic Caching each
display concise, informative log messages and job summary notes instead
of the previous wall-of-text license warning.
- **New integration tests**: Adds `integ-test-basic-cache-provider.yml`
workflow that seeds and verifies the basic cache provider across
platforms, plus unit tests for `BasicCacheService` and `getCacheService`
selection logic.
- **CI workflow reorganization**: Dependency-submission integration
tests extracted into their own reusable suite
(`suite-integ-test-dependency-submission.yml`); sample project tests
moved into the caching suite.

With licensing changes in v6, a license warning was added to the logs
and job summary. Now, accepting the Build Scan Terms of Use or providing
a Develocity Access Key will mute this warning.
With this change, the caching functionality of `setup-gradle` and
`dependency-submission` is now provided by `gradle-actions-caching`, a
closed-source library distributed under our [Terms of
Use](https://gradle.com/legal/terms-of-use/). The rest of the action
implementation remains open source.
Using `setup-gradle` or `dependency-submission` with caching enabled
involves loading and using the `gradle-actions-caching` component,
requiring acceptance of the [Terms of
Use](https://gradle.com/legal/terms-of-use/). There are no functional
changes to caching provided by these actions: all workflows will
continue to function as before.
The non-caching aspects of action implementation remain open source. By
running these actions with caching disabled they can be used without
ever loading `gradle-actions-caching` or accepting the license terms.
Supporting the caching infrastructure in this project requires a
substantial engineering investment by Gradle Technologies, which we can
sustain thanks to Develocity, our commercial offering. Caching
technologies are a core part of the Develocity offering, and the caching
in `setup-gradle` fits squarely in that space.
This licensing change lets us continue to build advanced capabilities
that go beyond what we would offer as open source. Proper
production-ready Configuration Cache support will be the first
capability. Improving build performance for self-hosted runners will
follow.
We may introduce functionality restrictions in future updates. However,
caching functionality will remain free for public repositories.
We have a long-standing commitment to open source, as maintainers of
Gradle Build Tool, and by [sponsoring the open source
community](https://gradle.com/oss-sponsored-by-develocity/) with free
Develocity licenses. Public repositories are primarily used by open
source projects, and we remain committed to supporting them.
- Implementation of caching logic to save and restore Gradle User Home
content has been removed, replaced by the `gradle-actions-caching`
component.
- The `@actions/caching` library is still used to cache Gradle
distributions that are downloaded and provisioned by `setup-gradle`.
This PR updates to the latest version of `@actions/caching`, and removes
the patch that is no longer required.
- License notices are now displayed in documentation, logs and the
generated Job Summary.
