Code Review

This pull request removes the 'Setup Gradle' step from the environment setup action. A review comment suggests also removing the 'disable-cache' input from the action's definition, as it was primarily used by the removed step and is now obsolete.

[gemini-code-assist]

The disable-cache input appears to have been primarily used by the Setup Gradle step. Since this step is being removed, the input should also be removed from the inputs section of this composite action to avoid maintaining unused parameters and to keep the action interface clean.
