Outputs

Output	Description
`cache-hit`	`true` if the primary IVPM-cache key matched exactly (no save needed).
`ivpm-version`	The resolved installed IVPM version. Probed via `importlib.metadata.version("ivpm")` (IVPM’s CLI has no `--version` flag).
`cache-dir`	The absolute path exported as `IVPM_CACHE` (useful for later steps).

Consuming outputs

- uses: fvutils/ivpm-setup@v1
  id: ivpm
- run: |
    echo "Installed IVPM ${{ steps.ivpm.outputs.ivpm-version }}"
    echo "Cache hit: ${{ steps.ivpm.outputs.cache-hit }}"
    echo "Cache dir: ${{ steps.ivpm.outputs.cache-dir }}"

Environment exported for later steps

The action also writes to $GITHUB_ENV so subsequent steps inherit:

IVPM_CACHE — the resolved cache directory.
IVPM_GIT_AUTH_ORDER=gh,https — set when a token is provided.

This is what makes setup-only mode useful: after ivpm-setup with run-update: false, a later run: ivpm update … step inherits the cache and auth configuration automatically.
