docs: consolidate three open documentation PRs into one - #592
Conversation
Unifies #589, #590 and #591 so the documentation change can be reviewed and merged as a single unit instead of three PRs that overlap on the license-return page. - #589: build memory limits and container env var behaviour (troubleshooting) + the missing `dockerShmSize` reference entry. - #590: document the `game-ci activate` / `game-ci return-license` commands, the `unity-activate` no-auto-return caveat, and add both to the CLI command table. - #591: clarify license-return warnings - a `License return failed` message is not proof of a leaked seat, and cache clearing cannot affect Unity's server-side licensing state. The one conflict was `docs/03-github/05-returning-a-license.mdx`, which #590 and #591 both rewrote. Resolved as the union: #590's structure (auto-return for builder/test-runner, the `unity-activate` caveat, the CLI `return-license` reference, the legacy action section) combined with #591's newer guidance that Unity's documented Personal-seat recovery is signing out of Unity Hub, and its warning against a second return step on hosted runners.

Preserve the activated license across later builds.
Builds and tests return their licenses automatically. For this long-lived-container workflow, specify --skip-activation on each later build or test command. Otherwise, each command still runs its automatic return step and does not preserve the license for reuse. The CLI defines this option to skip both activation and return. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Align Personal-seat recovery guidance across the docs.
This section says return-license can return a Personal seat, following the earlier description of manual recovery. However, docs/03-github/05-returning-a-license.mdx, Lines 40-42, says not to rely on command-line cleanup for Personal-seat recovery and directs readers to sign out of Unity Hub. Qualify this command's recovery limits here and use the same Personal-seat guidance. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Hash the project directory used by path.
If a reader uses the shown path/to/your/project/Library path and keeps the other project directories there, hashFiles('Assets/**', 'Packages/**', 'ProjectSettings/**') matches no files. It returns an empty string. Project changes then retain the same exact cache key, so this example cannot save an updated Library. Prefix the hash patterns with the project path, or show a root-level Library path consistently. (docs.github.com)

Scope the short example’s fallback to the target platform.
When a workflow uses this example for multiple platforms and an exact key misses, Library-MyProjectName- can match another platform’s cache. The target-platform text in the primary key does not prevent that fallback. Put the same platform value in the restore prefix, as the complete example does at Lines 864–866. (docs.github.com)

Exclude Personal seats from the return-command recommendation.
If unity-activate activates a Personal seat, this sentence recommends two return steps that readers cannot rely on for that seat. The v2 action runs its return command only when UNITY_SERIAL is set. The later Personal-seat warning also rules out relying on command-line recovery. Direct Personal users to Unity Hub sign-out or the applicable Unity ID recovery route here; reserve these return steps for supported license types. (github.com)

Require matching activation and return identities on self-hosted runners.
If activation runs on the self-hosted machine and the workflow then uses game-ci/unity-return-license@v2, the return runs in a separate Docker container. A persistent runner alone does not establish the same machine identity. Qualify the “safe” claim with a matching license and machine identity, or specify a host-side return procedure for host-side activation. Otherwise, the documented recovery can leave the serial seat occupied. (github.com)

Correct the description of reserved-name collisions.
Line 581 says reserved names "are rejected". Line 582 then says the user gets a warning. The builder reference (docs/03-github/04-builder.mdx lines 580-581) also describes this case only as a warning that names the collision. Neither page says whether the entry is dropped or applied. If the user reads "rejected", they can expect the build to fail. Use the same wording as the builder reference.

The resolution here keeps #590's page structure (auto-return for builder/test-runner, theunity-activatecaveat, the CLI command reference, the legacy action section) with #591's newer guidance on the Personal case. That is the one place the two originals contradicted each other and so is the part most worth a close read.Checklist
