I have a giant nix build step with a 5h timeout. When the build fails early for some reason, I can see the caching action store successfully built paths. But when it hits the timeout, I see this error:

Post job cleanup.

don't know how to build these paths:
  /nix/store/xlz372iydqc1llh6ji6bmmqmzqfrpbqn-system-eager-future2.drv.chroot
error: path '/nix/store/xlz372iydqc1llh6ji6bmmqmzqfrpbqn-system-eager-future2.drv.chroot' is required, but there is no substituter that can build it

I have simultaneously enabled the cachix action, and that action's post job cleanup does in fact upload built paths to cachix.

Does anyone recognize this .drv.chroot path? I couldn't find it in the magic cache source. Is there a builder for this which might die after hours of runtime, or be killed on timeout?
