Missing dependency cache · Test
Set `cache: 'npm'` (or `'pip'`, `'yarn'`, etc.) on your setup-* action, or add `actions/cache@v4` for the install dir.

Pushing to a branch and opening a PR triggers two runs. Pick one (usually `pull_request`) and exclude branch pushes for non-default branches.
on:
push:
branches: [main]
pull_request:No concurrency control · Lint pull request title
Add a `concurrency:` block keyed on branch to cancel superseded runs when devs push twice quickly.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: trueNo path filters on triggers · Cleanup branch caches
Runs on every push/PR with no `paths:` filter, so docs-only changes still trigger full CI. Add a `paths:` filter if that's common.
on:
pull_request:
paths:
- 'src/**'
- 'package.json'Artifacts at default retention · Release
`upload-artifact` has no `retention-days`, so artifacts keep up to 90 days (storage cost). Set e.g. `retention-days: 7`.

macOS bills ~10× and Windows ~2× 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`.

No job sets `timeout-minutes`, so a hung step can run to GitHub's 6-hour default. Add `timeout-minutes` to each job.
