• I'd be willing to implement a fix

Describe the bug

https://yarnpkg.com/configuration/yarnrc#globalFolder

It's using ${HOME}\AppData\Local\Yarn\Berry\cache as globalFolder on GitHub Actions at least

Related codes:

berry/packages/yarnpkg-core/sources/folderUtils.ts

Lines 5 to 8 in 7553478

	if (process.platform === `win32`) {
	const base = npath.toPortablePath(process.env.LOCALAPPDATA || npath.join(homedir(), `AppData`, `Local`));
	return ppath.resolve(base, `Yarn/Berry`);
	}

The settings docs does not show default values but rather an example value

Otherwise some settings like httpProxy and npmPublishRegistry would be undocumentable

Can we document this? I was always thinking they are listed as the default values.
