Simplifies cache fallback + add timed invalidation

README.md

@@ -45,6 +45,8 @@ The action has a built-in functionality for caching and restoring dependencies.
 
 The action defaults to search for the dependency file (`package-lock.json` or `yarn.lock`) in the repository root, and uses its hash as a part of the cache key. Use `cache-dependency-path` for cases when multiple dependency files are used, or they are located in different subdirectories.
 
+Use `cache-invalidate-after-days` to change the default fallback cache invalidation of every 120 days. Set to 0 to deactivate.

 See the examples of using cache for `yarn` / `pnpm` and  `cache-dependency-path` input in the [Advanced usage](docs/advanced-usage.md#caching-packages-dependencies) guide.
