CI runs are taking longer than necessary. Investigate and apply optimisations to bring down total pipeline time.

Areas to investigate

Composer cache — verify cache hit rate; key on composer.lock
npm cache — add caching for node_modules keyed on package-lock.json
PHP extension install — setup-php reinstalls extensions on every run; check if a pre-built image with extensions baked in would be faster
Parallelism — split lint, tests, and asset build into parallel jobs where possible
MySQL readiness — the nc wait loop adds up to 60s worst-case; check if a healthcheck-based approach is faster in practice

CI runs are taking longer than necessary. Investigate and apply optimisations to bring down total pipeline time. ## Areas to investigate - **Composer cache** — verify cache hit rate; key on `composer.lock` - **npm cache** — add caching for `node_modules` keyed on `package-lock.json` - **PHP extension install** — `setup-php` reinstalls extensions on every run; check if a pre-built image with extensions baked in would be faster - **Parallelism** — split lint, tests, and asset build into parallel jobs where possible - **MySQL readiness** — the `nc` wait loop adds up to 60s worst-case; check if a healthcheck-based approach is faster in practice
