I wanted to address this in https://github.com/nektos/act/pull/1913 and followups. To make downloading actions thread safe.

One big problem is getting things merged step by step and getting reviews. Nothing I can do as a single maintainer, my PR's require two approvals from other maintainers however most maintainer disappeared recently and only cplee (owner) can merge anything.

Please confirm if the next act release fixes the issue using the feature flag --use-new-action-cache

Note this flag enables a complete rewrite how actions are cloned

I need feedback to know when it's time to make it the new default.

act -W workflow.yml -P -self-hosted=-self-hosted -b --detect-event --use-new-action-cache
