- Reduced from 8 jobs to 4 consolidated jobs - Eliminated redundant checkout operations (8 → 4, 50% reduction) - Consolidated Node.js and Python setup steps - Maintained all original functionality and safety checks - Reduced GitHub Actions minutes consumption Jobs reorganized: - lint-node-based: addon-docs, js, md, shell scripts - lint-python-based: cpp, python, yaml - format-cpp: kept separate (requires both runtimes) - lint-misc: codeowners, pr-url, readme
