fix(ci): drop invalid --reload=file: from deno cache step

[guitavano]

Problem

The Setup deno job fails on every run (main and PRs) with:

Run deno cache --lock=deno.lock --frozen=false --reload=file: ./mod.ts
error: invalid reload URL: 'file:'
Error: Process completed with exit code 1.

CI installs deno-version: v2.x, which now resolves to a Deno that rejects a bare file: as a --reload specifier (older versions accepted it — runs from ~Aug 21 passed, runs after the Deno bump fail). Not tied to any source change; it broke on the toolchain upgrade.

Fix

Drop --reload=file: from the "fetch any uncached dependencies" step. It's redundant: the preceding Build Deno Module step already runs deno run -A --reload mod.ts, so every dependency is cached by the time this step runs. Plain deno cache ./mod.ts fetches anything still missing — exactly what the step name says — and works on all Deno versions.

Summary by cubic

Fixes the CI "Setup deno" job that fails on every run when Deno v2.x rejects a bare file: as a --reload specifier (invalid reload URL: 'file:'). Drops the --reload=file: flag from the deno cache step since the preceding build step already runs deno run --reload mod.ts, and plain deno cache ./mod.ts still fetches anything missing.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The CI workflow no longer force-refreshes file dependencies during the Deno cache step. The command uses cached versions while preserving the lockfile and frozen-mode options.
