I don't understand the point of this comeback. If you have the artifact cached it means that you compiled for that target, while the rest of the stdlibs remain in source form (also Zig deduplicates header files which is why everything fits in a 40mb tarball), and you didn't have to download anything manually. What else would you want exactly?
