Note

Low Risk
CI-only dependency bump with no application or runtime code changes; risk is limited to possible workflow cache behavior differences between action versions.

Overview
Updates the Cache test blocks and plots step in the nightly and main test-suite workflows to use actions/cache@v6 instead of v5.

Cache paths, keys, and the rest of each workflow are unchanged; only the action major version is bumped (v6 includes ESM migration and updated @actions/cache dependencies per upstream release notes).
