Turns out there is indeed a fix worthy of a patch release before v0.12.0: https://github.com/dagger/dagger/commit/6708971d052bad4d9ea3c3f19077e7ed81a43939
Super nasty bug since it means that engines will only prune local cache when the engine container starts up, so worth jumping through some extra hoops to release ASAP imo.
There have been a commit on main since v0.11.8 that are breaking (https://github.com/dagger/dagger/commit/87a0f1a74a763c2bdf6c2a2ab99fc39cda96917a), so I think we'll need to go with the separate branch approach @jed mentioned here #1254757484057464975 message
Next step for me is to do a dry run of RELEASING.md in my head to verify there won't be any gotchas. Since we rely on git tags I don't expect any, but worth a double check.
Provided that's all good to go I'm happy to run this release today, but also realize that I can't get feedback from others in different time zones right now, so if there's any preferences to just wait until my tomorrow I can defer until then and just get the branch setup in the meantime. Let me know
