What changed

  • Run on Latchkey managed runners with one line (runs-on), which apply the fixes below automatically and self-heal transient failures. This example uses latchkey-small; pick the runner size that fits the job.
  • Add a job timeout so a hung step cannot burn hours of runner time.

What Latchkey heals here

This workflow has steps that commonly fail on transient issues (network, registries, flaky browsers). On Latchkey managed runners they are detected, retried, and self-healed instead of failing your build:

  • Dependency installs

This workflow runs 1 job per trigger. On Latchkey the same minutes cost up to 58% less than GitHub-hosted, with zero queue time.

Frequently asked questions

What does the agent-scan workflow (storybookjs/storybook) workflow do?
This is the agent-scan workflow from the storybookjs/storybook repository, a real project running GitHub Actions. It is shown here with attribution under its MIT license.
What CI health grade does this workflow get?
This Automation and other workflow grades A. Paste your own workflow into the Latchkey grader to see its grade and the exact fixes.
How can I improve this Automation and other workflow?
Apply job timeouts. Latchkey applies these automatically on managed runners when you point runs-on at Latchkey.
