Act version

act version 0.2.82

Feature description

Would be great if it was possible to use repo's existing caches when running action with act.
Some caches can take hours to build, so switching to act to debug those workflows has a high time cost.
In those cases currently it's simpler to rerun action 50 times on github, so it would reuse cache.
