# This workflow relies on actions/cache to store the hak dependency artifacts as they take a long time to build
# Due to this extra care must be taken to only ever run all build_* scripts against the same branch to ensure
# the correct cache scoping, and additional care must be taken to not run untrusted actions on the develop branch.

                    The name of the prepare artifact to use, defaults to 'webapp'.
                    The artifact must contain the following:
                    + webapp.asar - the asar archive of the webapp to embed in the desktop app
                    + electronVersion - the version of electron to use for cache keying
                    + hakHash - the hash of the .hak directory to use for cache keying
                    + variant.json - the variant configuration to use for the build

                    The artifact can also contain any additional files which will be applied as overrides to the checkout root before building,
                    for example icons in the `build/` directory to override the app icons.
