The first SHA hash in the path (i.e. the DA3B96DAB7BC165C334BF96F9941B4C9DBA4BAE7 vs. B956FE95EA2D10BBA53021A509C172354487B37C) is the compiler's id, i.e. your tests used different rakudo versions (any change in rakudo's or nqp's sources...

I'd have no idea where the hostname would enter the compiler id and my local build artefacts also don't contain my hostname. What definitely does enter the compiler id is...
