Previously if the `cache: false` (the default for this Action), the Action's "post run" step would still be executed. Whilst this step was fast (since it returned early if the cache was disabled), it still causes unnecessary noise in the job's steps list. For example as seen in: https://github.com/pypa/get-pip/actions/runs/8679713478/job/23798960684 Now, the post run step is skipped if the cache is disabled, thanks to the `post-if` syntax supporting the `github.events.inputs.*` context.
