03/08/2024, 6:25 PMSorry if this is answered on the docs, I wasn't able to find an answer there. Is there a way to attach build metadata that gets shared with remote caching providers? I'm looking to differentiate Pants cache usage across multiple repos. And I'd like to do something like Bazel's

Thanks as per usual for being so responsive here 🙏
