The committed firehose-apps.json seed is an empty array. When CI restores the GHA data cache it writes the file with a fresh mtime, causing fetch-firehose.js to skip the fetch (cache appears < 6h old). The result is an empty changelogs page on the live site.

Two fixes:

  • scripts/fetch-firehose.js: read FIREHOSE_CACHE_HOURS env var (default 6h); also skip the cache when the apps array is empty, regardless of mtime.
  • .github/workflows/pages.yml: set FIREHOSE_CACHE_HOURS=0 so CI always fetches fresh data, matching the DRIVER_VERSIONS_CACHE_HOURS=0 pattern already in use.

Code Review

This pull request updates the fetch-firehose.js script to support a configurable cache duration via the FIREHOSE_CACHE_HOURS environment variable. Additionally, it implements a check to force a fresh data fetch if the local cache file is empty or contains invalid JSON, ensuring data integrity. The logic for cache bypass and logging has been refactored to accommodate these changes. I have no feedback to provide.
