-description: >
-  Resolve the pinned Arduino core and xtensa toolchain versions and cache the
-  native ESP8266 install (~110 MB framework + toolchain; no ccache store, the
-  seed job saves before any compile runs). Exports
-  ESPHOME_ARDUINO8266_PREFIX to the job so every later step installs into
-  the cached path; the Python venv must already be restored. Mirrors
-  cache-esp-idf: only dev-branch pushes write the shared cache, everything
-  else restores.
