TestsNo job sets `timeout-minutes`, so a hung step can run to GitHub's 6-hour default. Add `timeout-minutes` to each job.

runs-on: ubuntu-latest
timeout-minutes: 15TestsmacOS bills ~10x and Windows ~2x a Linux minute. The cost estimate above assumes Linux, so your real spend is higher. Move any job that doesn't need them to `ubuntu-latest`.
jobs:
build:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest # ~10x cheaper than macos-latestTestsSystem packages install from the network on every run with no cache. Cache them (cache-apt-pkgs-action) or check whether the runner image already has the tool.
