Splits each channel's sequential unit_tests job into parallel jobs: core (format/analyze/VM), Chrome, Firefox, oidc_web Chrome, Flutter, and (main pushes) jose_plus Chrome/Firefox × 4 shards plus oidc_web_core browser coverage. jose_plus files are partitioned deterministically, and a shard with 0 files or a partition that doesn't sum to the total fails. A new unit_tests_coverage job restores each package's coverage/lcov.info layout and re-emits the same package-coverage artifact, so upload-coverage is unchanged.

Also disables subosito/flutter-action's built-in pub cache, whose unscoped hashFiles('**/pubspec.lock') timed out on iOS and fragmented keys, and replaces it with a scoped actions/cache step in flutter_base. Pub caches now hit on macOS and Windows.

Measured: unit tests incl. coverage merge ~41.5 → ~18.8 min; whole workflow 44 → 26.5 min (run 37469499200 vs main 37423292012); jose_plus Chrome 235 tests before and after. The Flutter SDK cache still misses (pre-existing flutter-action save bug, not addressed here).

… caching

unit_tests was one job per sdk channel running every step sequentially
(format -> analyze -> VM -> Chrome -> Firefox -> jose Chrome -> jose
Firefox -> oidc_web_core coverage -> oidc_web Chrome -> Flutter ->
coverage combine), making it the critical path of the whole workflow on
main pushes (~41m stable / ~35m beta on run 37423292012). Split into
unit_core/unit_chrome/unit_firefox/unit_jose_chrome/unit_jose_firefox
(sharded 4 ways)/unit_webcore_coverage/unit_oidc_web_chrome/unit_flutter/
unit_tests_coverage so the independent suites run concurrently on the
same ubuntu-latest pool instead of back-to-back. Coverage from the
split jobs is flattened and re-merged by unit_tests_coverage into the
same "package-coverage" artifact the old job produced, so
upload-coverage needed no changes to its own steps (only its needs/if
to account for the new job graph, tolerating the PR-skipped jobs).

Also fixes a real CI failure mode: subosito/flutter-action's `cache:
true` silently also enables its own internal pub-cache step, whose key
unconditionally runs an unscoped `hashFiles('**/pubspec.lock')` -
observed failing outright ("couldn't finish within 120 seconds") on a
macOS leg, and degrading silently to an empty hash segment on Linux
(visible as dead `flutter-linux-stable-x64-<hash>-` cache entries).
Disable that internal step everywhere it's enabled (flutter_base -
shared by every tests.yaml job via integration_test_base - plus
dart_package.yaml/flutter_package.yaml/deploy_firebase.yaml/
firebase_preview.yaml/pana.yaml) and replace it in flutter_base with an
explicit, narrowly-scoped pub-cache step (packages/**/pubspec.yaml,
not an unscoped repo-root **) covering both ~/.pub-cache and the
Windows pub-cache path. Deleted the two dead-format cache entries to
free headroom under the repo's 10GB cache cap.

Run 37464828887 caught a real bug: unit_tests_coverage's "Assert Flutter
package coverage survived" guard failed because combine_coverage,
given the flattened coverage/flat-merged/<pkg>.info files directly,
resolves each file's SF: entries relative to the directory the file is
found in whenever those entries are already package-relative (not
absolute) - which is exactly how `flutter test --coverage` writes them
("SF:lib/facade.dart", no "packages/<pkg>/" prefix), unlike the VM/
format_coverage-generated files, whose SF: entries are absolute and
therefore survived the flattening. Flat, the four Flutter packages'
guard matched 0 records each.

Fix: rebuild packages/<pkg>/coverage/lcov.info from the flattened
artifacts before running combine_coverage, so it sees the same
directory layout the old single job always had.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Flutter action and workflows change how pub dependencies are cached. The test workflow replaces a single unit-test job with separate VM, browser, and Flutter jobs, then combines coverage artifacts.

Changes

Pub dependency caching

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shared pub-cache implementation
.github/actions/flutter_base/action.yaml
The shared Flutter action disables flutter-action’s internal pub-cache step and adds caching for Linux, macOS, and Windows pub-cache paths. Its key uses the runner OS, Flutter channel, and pubspec hashes.
Workflow cache configuration
.github/workflows/dart_package.yaml, .github/workflows/deploy_firebase.yaml, .github/workflows/firebase_preview.yaml, .github/workflows/flutter_package.yaml, .github/workflows/pana.yaml
The Flutter setup steps disable the internal pub-cache step. The cache keys no longer include pubspec.lock hashes where those hashes were present.

Test workflow split and coverage

Layer / File(s) Summary
VM and standard browser test jobs
.github/workflows/tests.yaml
Workflow-level environment variables apply to all jobs. Separate jobs run VM, Chrome, Firefox, and oidc_web Chrome tests. VM coverage is flattened and uploaded as an artifact.
Specialized browser test jobs
.github/workflows/tests.yaml
Main-event runs add four-shard jose_plus Chrome and Firefox jobs with partition checks. A stable main-event oidc_web_core job uploads browser coverage.
Flutter tests and coverage aggregation
.github/workflows/tests.yaml
Flutter package and example tests produce coverage artifacts. A coverage job restores package paths and combines artifacts. Coverage checks and the final upload job use the updated job conditions and dependencies.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Fix the cache key so it also tracks the Dart/Flutter SDK version.

The key uses only inputs.channel, the OS, and pubspec hashes. The stable and beta channels move to new SDK versions over time. The pub cache holds hosted packages and pub-global activations (compiled snapshots). An old snapshot can then restore under an unchanged key and fail with a Dart SDK mismatch. restore-keys widens the fallback to the same OS and channel. A pubspec change is the only thing that invalidates the exact key.

Also, the action adds inputs.flutter-version to the cache key. Add it. Add the resolved Dart version if you want to track channel updates.

Also, hashFiles('pubspec.yaml', 'pubspec.lock', ...) hashes only the root pubspec.lock. The cache key does not cover lockfiles inside packages/. This is acceptable if pub get resolves from pubspec.yaml. Confirm that this is the intended behavior.

Proposed change
-        key: pub-${{ runner.os }}-${{ inputs.channel }}-${{ hashFiles('pubspec.yaml', 'pubspec.lock', 'packages/**/pubspec.yaml') }}

…tom SF

Independent review on PR #494 (run 37476666335) caught a real bug: the
"Restore package-relative coverage layout" step copied
coverage/flat-merged/<pkg>.info to packages/<pkg>/coverage/lcov.info
but left the original flat files in place, so combine_coverage's
recursive scan ingested both. The flat copies resolve to bogus
"/coverage/<relative-path>" phantom SF: entries once they're no longer
sitting in a per-package directory. That run's package-coverage
artifact had 254 SF: lines for 139 unique files (115 duplicates) and
11 phantom /coverage/... paths, against a clean 132/132 on the
baseline main run (37423292012).

Fix: `mv` instead of `cp`, plus an explicit `rm -rf coverage/flat-merged`
after the loop, so the stale flat files can never be re-scanned.

Also adds a structural guard ("[Coverage] Assert no duplicate or
phantom SF entries") right after the combine step: fails the job if
any SF: path appears more than once, or if any SF: path doesn't
correspond to a real file in the checkout. This catches this failure
mode (and anything similar) directly, instead of relying only on the
package-specific guards, which passed on the buggy run because the
correct entries were also present alongside the duplicates.
