[CI] Use a Stable Cache Key to prevent warnings in gh-actions

[ParagEkbote]

Description

In some of the gh-action test runs, I have observed the following warnings for the model and dataset cache not being saved correctly:

Warning: Failed to restore: The specified blob does not exist.
RequestId:b413aa80-601e-00a4-0531-699e57000000
Time:2025-12-09T17:30:01.1909781Z
Cache not found for input keys: hf-datasets-Linux-1bbd1d207191e929474a58aa111fdace73dbdc6ecb8d25a54146afc370d5d037, hf-datasets-Linux-

The issue stems from setting the cache key in an uncertain manner. When tests get updated or modified, a new key will be assigned and the previous cache will get invalidated.

In the updated key, we use a stable prefix hf-cache-${{ runner.os }}-, which cleanly separates caches by operating system. The addition of ${{ hashFiles('pyproject.toml') }} ensures the cache is only invalidated when your dependency configuration changes. This approach also enables partial key matching through restore keys, allowing gh-actions to fall back to compatible caches when an exact match can't be found.
