+name: Cache Arduino ESP8266
+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.

+        of strings is `PROGMEM` char arrays behind a `PROGMEM` pointer table read with `progmem_read_ptr()`;
+        `LOG_STR()` cannot fill a static table, since it expands to code that runs at first use.
+        On other platforms they are a plain `memcpy` and dereference, so no `#ifdef` is needed. Declare log tags with
