Waste detected

Biggest wins first, each with the exact config fix.

No concurrency control · Investigate Test Failure

~9 min/mo

Add a `concurrency:` block keyed on branch to cancel superseded runs when devs push twice quickly.

concurrency:
  group: ${{ github.workflow }}-${{ github.ref }}
  cancel-in-progress: true

Also found: 2 more config fixes with negligible recoverable minutes: timeouts, retention, path filters

Artifacts at default retention · Investigate Test Failure

~0 min/mo

`upload-artifact` has no `retention-days`, so artifacts keep up to 90 days (storage cost). Set e.g. `retention-days: 7`.

- uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4
  with:
    name: build
    path: dist/
    retention-days: 7

Third-party actions pinned to a mutable ref · Investigate Test Failure

~0 min/mo

1 third-party action pinned to a branch or other mutable ref, which can change under you (supply-chain risk, non-reproducible builds). Pin to a full commit SHA instead.

Each snippet is representative. Merge into the named workflow files rather than pasting wholesale.
