Summary

• Matrix builds (matrix cookbook (and .mise.toml) #418): document the MISE_<TOOL>_VERSION override, which keeps the rest of mise.toml (I checked: MISE_UV_VERSION=0.9.0 resolves uv to 0.9.0 with source environment while other tools are untouched), plus a per-matrix cache_key using {{default}}, and why mise_toml is a poor fit.
• .mise.toml footgun (matrix cookbook (and .mise.toml) #418): mise loads .mise.toml ahead of mise.toml in the same directory (verified), so a repo .mise.toml silently beat the mise.toml the mise_toml input writes. The action now warns when .mise.toml exists.
• Other cache actions (Instruction to cache while not using Github native cache #260): document which directory to cache (~/.local/share/mise, following MISE_DATA_DIR/XDG_DATA_HOME/mise_dir) and an example with cache: false.

Typecheck, lint, tests and build pass; dist/ rebuilt. The examples are not run in CI.

Fixes #418
Fixes #260

Note

Low Risk
Mostly documentation plus a non-breaking warning; no changes to install, cache restore/save, or auth paths.

Overview
Expands README with two workflow guides and a small runtime guard for a config footgun.

External caching: Documents disabling built-in GitHub cache (cache: false) and caching mise’s data directory with a compatible action (example: runs-on/cache), including how mise_dir / MISE_DATA_DIR / XDG_DATA_HOME determine the path and how to build invalidation keys from config files.

Matrix builds: Recommends job-level MISE_<TOOL>_VERSION overrides on top of repo config, per-matrix cache_key suffixes (e.g. {{default}}-ruby…), and notes that mise_toml is a poor fit because it replaces repo tools and can lose to .mise.toml.

Behavior change: When the mise_toml input is used and a .mise.toml already exists in the working directory, the action now warns that mise loads .mise.toml ahead of the written mise.toml, so the input may have no effect. dist/ is rebuilt to ship this change.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Documentation
  • Added guidance for using a compatible cache action, configuring cache keys, and setting tool versions in matrix builds.
  • Clarified when repository configuration takes precedence over the mise_toml input, and how to override a tool version for a single command.
• Bug Fixes
  • The action now warns when an existing .mise.toml takes precedence over the configuration provided through mise_toml.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The README adds guidance for external mise caching and matrix builds. The action now warns when an existing .mise.toml takes precedence over the mise_toml input.

Changes

External cache guidance

Layer / File(s)	Summary
External cache setup README.md	The README explains how to disable the built-in cache, select the mise data directory, and build cache keys from mise configuration files and other inputs.

Matrix configuration

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Matrix versions and configuration precedence README.md, src/index.ts	The README documents job-level matrix version settings, matrix-specific cache keys, and mise x for a single-command override. setMiseToml warns when .mise.toml exists before writing the mise_toml input to mise.toml.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Other · Severity of issue fixed: Low

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to e2b0e

Some external-cache setups may miss the action’s actual mise data directory and lose cache benefits, but the action can still run. This is a bounded documentation fix rather than a merge blocker.

Architecture Summary

Architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to e2b0e

The change affects 2 systems.

Changed systems: src, README.md

• observed — README.md (service) was modified; 1 changed file maps to changed impact.

Before / after behavior

• observed — Modified behavior in README.md: Adds guidance for caching mise data with another cache action: disable the built-in cache, use the same configured mise data directory, and build a key from the repository’s mise configuration files plus other cache-invalidating inputs.
• observed — Modified behavior in README.md: Adds a matrix-build example using job-level MISE_RUBY_VERSION and a matrix-specific cache key. Explains that the job-level override preserves other repository tools and that action-step-only environment settings do not carry to later steps.
• observed — Modified behavior in README.md: Documents mise x for a single-command matrix override and warns that mise_toml may replace repository tools or be superseded by .mise.toml, causing the matrix value to be ignored; the action warns when it detects this.
• observed — Modified behavior in src/index.ts: setMiseToml now checks for .mise.toml before writing the input to mise.toml and warns that the existing file takes precedence, advising the user to rename or remove it for the input to take effect.

[#418] The README documents job-level MISE_<TOOL>_VERSION overrides and per-matrix cache keys. The action warns when .mise.toml exists alongside mise_toml, addressing the configuration-precedence problem. [#260] The summary confirms guidance on the mise data directory and an external cache example. It does not establish whether the example documents the requested save and restore keys.

Confidence Score: 5/5

[Low risk] Documentation updates and a warning message for a config edge case.

The PR appears safe to merge; no new actionable issues were established.

What we checked:

• Warning checks the wrong folder: Both paths are relative to the action’s current directory, so the check covers the folder receiving the file.
• Published action misses the warning: The checked-in JavaScript includes the file check and warning.

Summary

Adds guides for matrix builds and external caching. The action now warns when .mise.toml may hide the config supplied through mise_toml.

• The matrix example sets its version override at job level and gives each version a separate cache key.
• The external cache guide lists more config names and explains how to choose the cache path.
• Both earlier, unnumbered review comments are addressed. The warning is also present in dist/index.js.
