Function TestTsgoRevInCacheKey

cache_key_test.go:21–48

TestTsgoRevInCacheKey verifies that the Tailscale Go toolchain's git revision (from go.toolchain.rev) is blended into Go build cache keys. Without this, bumping the toolchain to a new commit that doesn't change the Go version number would silently reuse stale cached build artifacts. See https://git
