Waste detected

Biggest wins first, each with the exact config fix.

Premium runners (macOS / Windows) · CodeQL Advanced

~0 min/mo

macOS 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-latest

Scheduled workflow runs in forks · CodeQL Advanced

~0 min/mo

The schedule has no repository guard, so forks that enable Actions inherit the cron and burn their own minutes. Gate the job with `if: github.repository == 'owner/repo'`.

jobs:
  nightly:
    if: github.repository == 'owner/repo'
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

System packages reinstalled every run · Nightly

~0 min/mo

System 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.

Artifacts at default retention · PR

~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
