Set the repository's artifact retention period to 30 days in Settings.

Set the `retention-days` input on the `actions/cache` step to 30.

Add a `cleanup` job that runs `rm -rf` on the cache directory after each build.

Use the GitHub REST API to list and delete caches older than 30 days in a scheduled workflow.
