#' Path to (package) cache directory
#'
#' `cacheDir()` returns Require's own scratch directory (SHA database,
#' available.packages snapshots, mirrors.csv, pkgDep cache); `cachePkgDir()`
#' returns the package binary tarball cache.
#'
#' @section What goes where:
#'
#' | Function          | What it holds                                                    | Default location                              | Knob                            |
#' |-------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------|---------------------------------|
#' | `cacheDir()`      | Require-internal bookkeeping (SHA DB, mirrors.csv, pkgDep cache) | `tools::R_user_dir("Require", "cache")`       | `R_REQUIRE_CACHE`               |
#' | `cachePkgDir()`   | Package binary tarballs                                          | pak's `cache_summary()$cachepath` (pak mode)  | `R_USER_CACHE_DIR` (via pak)    |
#' | `cachePkgDir()`   | Package binary tarballs                                          | `<cacheDir>/packages/<Rver>` (legacy)         | `R_REQUIRE_CACHE`               |
#'
#' Both defaults flow from `tools::R_user_dir()`, so setting
#' `R_USER_CACHE_DIR=/some/path` in `.Renviron` redirects **both** caches
#' to sibling subdirectories of `/some/path/R/` -- pak's cache lands in
#' `pkgcache/pkg/`, Require's in `Require/`. That's the one-knob way to
#' set up a shared cache across machines or R versions.
#'
#' @section How `cachePkgDir()` changes with `usePak`:
#'
#' \describe{
#'   \item{`getOption("Require.usePak", TRUE)` (default)}{Thin wrapper over
#'     `pak::cache_summary()$cachepath`. The directory is owned by pak/pkgcache;
#'     location is controlled by `R_USER_CACHE_DIR` (read at pak's subprocess
#'     spawn time). Default: `tools::R_user_dir("pkgcache", "cache")/pkg`.}
#'   \item{`usePak = FALSE` (legacy)}{Returns `<cacheDir>/packages/<Rver>`,
#'     controlled by `R_REQUIRE_CACHE`.}
#' }
#'
#' Require-internal bookkeeping files always live next to the legacy path
#' (`<cacheDir>/packages/<Rver>`) regardless of `usePak` -- pak doesn't know
#' about them and would treat them as stray files.
#'
#' @section Deprecations:
#'
#' The following Require-specific knobs and helpers were folded into the
#' pair above. Each is still functional for one release cycle and emits a
#' deprecation warning when used.
#'
#' | Deprecated                          | Use instead                          |
#' |-------------------------------------|--------------------------------------|
#' | `cacheGetOptionCachePkgDir()`       | `cachePkgDir()`                      |
#' | `rpackageFolder()` (internal)       | (inlined into `checkLibPaths()`)     |
#' | `purgeCache()`                      | `cachePurge()`                       |
#' | `clearRequirePackageCache()`        | `cacheClearPackages()`               |
#' | `options("Require.cachePkgDir")`    | `R_USER_CACHE_DIR` env var           |
#' | `Sys.getenv("R_REQUIRE_PKG_CACHE")` | `R_USER_CACHE_DIR` env var           |
#'
#' @return
#'   A path string. When `create = TRUE`, the directory is created (with
#'   a `README` placed in `cacheDir()`'s root if absent); otherwise the
#'   function just returns what the path would be.

#' getter for the package-tarball cache and wraps
#' `pak::cache_summary()$cachepath` under `usePak = TRUE` (the default).
#'
#' This function is kept for one release cycle as a functional shim. It
#' still resolves a user-supplied path from `options("Require.cachePkgDir")`
#' or the `R_REQUIRE_PKG_CACHE` environment variable when set, but those
#' two knobs are themselves deprecated and ignored under `usePak = TRUE`.
#' To redirect pak's package cache to a shared location, set
#' `R_USER_CACHE_DIR` in `.Renviron` (pak's standard env var). See
#' [cacheDir()] for the full migration table.
#'
#' Resolution order (legacy path):
#' 1. If `R_REQUIRE_PKG_CACHE` is set, return it.

#' 3. Else if the option is `TRUE`, return `cachePkgDir(FALSE)`.
