lukka/get-cmake@latest re-fetched and re-extracted CMake + Ninja on every single Windows CI run. Its own cache (routed through this act_runner's built-in cache server) reported "Cloud cache miss" on every run, even one immediately after a run that logged a successful save under the exact same key -- an incompatibility between its bundled cache client and this act_runner's cache-server implementation, not a config gap. Separately and more importantly: the archive extraction step alone measured ~7.5 minutes for a 45MB zip on this VM, consistent with Defender real-time scanning rather than raw disk I/O. Together this was the dominant cost of every Windows CI run. CMake 4.4.2 and Ninja 1.12.1 are now installed once, directly on the winvm-builder VM's system PATH (C:\BuildTools\cmake, C:\BuildTools\ ninja), sidestepping the third-party action's cache entirely rather than debugging its internals further. Both Windows jobs now just verify cmake/ninja are present and fail loudly if not, instead of silently falling back to a slow reinstall. Full detail, including how to redo this if the VM is ever rebuilt, is in README's new "Windows runner: persistent build tools" section -- this is VM state, not something git reproduces.
