The cache is supposed to take note of the `POLLEN` environment variable, but due to the spurious `string-downcase` here, was instead looking at `pollen`, which is a different key on case-sensitive systems. Windows environment variables are not case-sensitive, but it seems Racket’s `getenv` function will handle the case conversion as needed.

The compile cache tracks the modification date of the source file, the current setting of @secref["The_POLLEN_environment_variable"], and the modification dates of the template and @filepath{pollen.rkt} (if they exist). For @tt{poly} source files, it also tracks the @racket[current-poly-target]. It also tracks any files you've listed in the optional setup value @racket[setup:cache-watchlist].

It does not, however, track every possible dependency. So in a complex project, it's possible to create deep dependencies that aren't noticed by the cache. In particular, Pollen does not track pagetree files as dependencies of other source files. Thus, if you change a pagetree, you'll ordinarily need to use @exec{raco pollen reset} to clear the caches.
