🟢 Good taste - Clean, focused configuration change.
[RISK ASSESSMENT]
- [Overall PR]
⚠️ Risk Assessment: 🟢 LOW
Simple workflow configuration update that addresses a real operational problem (transient build failures due to caching). The change is applied consistently across all 6 affected workflows. Users can still override the default value when triggering workflows manually. No code logic or user-facing APIs affected.
VERDICT:
✅ Worth merging: Pragmatic solution to reduce unnecessary workflow reruns.
KEY INSIGHT:
Increasing retry tolerance from 2 to 5 is a proportional response to transient infrastructure failures - it trades slightly longer worst-case runtime for significantly fewer manual reruns.
