Spark can reuse shuffle stages in the same job (action), not cross jobs.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] spark re-use shuffle files not happening
ATTENTION: This email originated from outside of GM.
i have seen many jobs where spark re-uses shuffle files (and skips a stage of a
job), which is an awesome feature given how expensive shuffles are, and i
generally now assume this will happen.
however i feel like i am going a little crazy today. i did the simplest test in
spark 3.3.0, basically i run 2 jobs within same spark shell, so using same
spark session, and broadcast join is disabled so we get shuffles:
1) job1 joins dataframe1 with dataframe0 and writes results out.
2) job2 joins dataframe2 with dataframe0 and writes results out.
i would expect job2 to skip the stage where dataframe0 is getting shuffled, but
its not skipping it! what am i missing?
is shuffle re-use only enabled within same job/action? that goes against what i
remember...
code:
$ spark-shell --conf spark.sql.autoBroadcastJoinThreshold=-1
scala> val data0 = spark.read.format("csv").option("header",
true).load("data0.csv")
scala> val data1 = spark.read.format("csv").option("header",
true).load("data1.csv")
scala> val data2 = spark.read.format("csv").option("header",
true).load("data2.csv")
scala> data1.join(data0, "key").write.format("parquet").save("out1")
scala> data2.join(data0, "key").write.format("parquet").save("out2") // should
skip stage that scans csv for data0 and writes shuffle files... but it doesn't
