+## Sharing the cache with CI
+
+To keep local runs fast, CI maintains a shared copy of the verifier's SMT
+query cache in the GitHub Actions cache under keys of the form
+`isle-veri-cache-v1-<hash>`, where `<hash>` is derived from the ISLE sources
+and toolchain. Runs in the merge queue save entries in the default branch's
+cache scope, so every subsequent PR restores the most recent entry and
+verifies incrementally on top of it.
+
+The current cache is also published as the `isle-veri-cache.tar.gz` asset on
+the rolling
+[`dev` release](https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime/releases/tag/dev)
+for local use: the "ISLE verifier full check" job in the CI workflow
+([`.github/workflows/main.yml`](../../.github/workflows/main.yml)) uploads the
+rebuilt cache as a run artifact, and the
+[`publish-artifacts.yml`](../../.github/workflows/publish-artifacts.yml)
+workflow publishes it to the `dev` release when the run lands on `main`. The
+job runs on full CI and, on pull requests, when the PR touches the ISLE
+sources (`cranelift/codegen/**/*.isle`) or the ISLE toolchain
+(`cranelift/isle`), or a commit message contains `prtest:full`.
+
+To start a local session from the cache CI is currently using, run:
+
+```
+./cranelift/isle/veri/setup/download-cache.sh
+```
+
+This downloads the latest asset from the `dev` release and installs it as
+`cranelift/isle/veri/cache`. You can then verify incrementally on top of it
+with `./cranelift/isle/veri/verify.sh` (and check full cache coverage with
+`verify.sh cache-only`).
