Continues the work merged in #341 with two focused commits.
## Baseline vs result (real numbers from runs on this PR)
| Job | Before (last run on #341) | After | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| build-assets | 70s (gates 3 jobs) | 74s | unchanged |
| tests | 215s | 243s | now starts at t=0 (no gate) |
| performance-tests | 72s | 64s | now starts at t=0 (no gate) |
| browser-tests longest shard | 341s | 323s | -18s |
| linter | 61s | 63s | same |
| static-analysis | 29s | 23s | -6s |
| **Wall (critical path)** | **~7m** | **~6.6m** | **-25s on the
critical path** |
The critical path is still `build-assets → browser-tests-matrix`. Real
wall-time wins for that path require either smarter shard balancing or a
Playwright Docker container — both deliberately deferred (see below).
## Tier 1 — wall-time wins (commit 1)
- **Pest:** `withoutVite()` is now applied globally in the `Feature` and
`Performance` suites via `pest()->beforeEach(...)->in(...)`. Those
suites never assert on the JS bundle, so they no longer need a compiled
Vite manifest.
- **Drop `needs: build-assets`** from `tests` and `performance-tests`.
Both now start at t=0 instead of waiting ~70s for the artifact. Browser
tests still gate on it (real Playwright session needs the manifest).
- **Playwright:** install only `chromium` (no firefox/webkit) since
that's all pest-plugin-browser uses. Saves ~15s of system-dep install
per shard.
- **Drop `actions/setup-node`** from browser-tests-matrix;
`oven-sh/setup-bun` already provides node for `npx playwright`.
I also tried bumping browser shards 4 → 6 but reverted (commit 3):
pest-plugin-browser's `--shard=N/M` distributes very unevenly at M=6 in
this codebase — shard 6 ended up running the entire 106-test suite
(13m26s) while other shards ran 23 tests each. Reverted to 4 shards for
predictable balance. Better balancing needs a test-time-aware split
(follow-up).
## Tier 2 — caching + setup dedup (commit 2)
- New composite actions:
- `.github/actions/setup-php-deps`: PHP + composer cache + `vendor/`
cache. On a `vendor/` cache hit, `composer install` is skipped entirely.
- `.github/actions/setup-bun-deps`: Bun + bun cache + `node_modules/`
cache. On a hit, `bun install` is skipped entirely.
- All 6 jobs refactored to use the composite actions. Removes ~150 lines
of duplicated YAML.
- **Bug fix: Pint cache key** dropped `${{ github.sha }}` from the
primary key so it actually reuses across runs (was effectively 0%
reuse).
## Deliberately not included
- **Pest `--parallel`**: paratest's per-process DB suffix conflicts with
Testcontainers user grants (see revert in
