ci: use sparse checkout for lightweight CI jobs#7529
Conversation
The actionlint, workflow-job-names, and release status jobs only need a small subset of the repo. Switching to sparse checkout avoids cloning the full tree and, for workflow-job-names, replaces a full dependency install with just the single required package.

What does this PR do?
Switches three lightweight CI jobs to use sparse checkout instead of cloning the full repository tree:
actionlint(project.yml): Only needs.github/to lint workflow files. The sparse checkout also makes theClear package.jsonworkaround unnecessary — with nopackage.jsonin the checkout, actionlint's internalnpm installis a harmless no-op.workflow-job-names(project.yml): Only reads.github/workflows/*.ymlfiles and depends on a single npm package (yaml). Replaces the fullbun installof all dependencies withnpm install yaml.status(release.yml): Thescripts/release/status.jsscript is fully self-contained (only uses Node.js built-ins and the GitHub API via env vars). Sparse-checks out just that one file.Motivation
These jobs were doing full repo checkouts and, in some cases, full dependency installs despite only needing a tiny subset of the repo. Sparse checkout reduces clone time and, for
workflow-job-names, avoids installing hundreds of unnecessary packages.
