Subject: [PATCH] Speed up PR CI: use RunTests target, add NuGet cache, upgrade
 actions to v4
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- Change build-windows from '-t All' to '-t RunTests': skips doc generation
  and pack steps that aren't needed for PR validation (~4-5 min saved)
- Remove redundant 'Build (Debug)' step from both jobs (~2 min combined)
- Add NuGet package caching via actions/cache@v4 (~30-40s saved on cache hits)
- Upgrade actions/checkout v1 → v4 and actions/setup-dotnet v1 → v4

These changes should reduce total PR CI time from ~12 min to ~6-7 min.

Closes #1649
