Research direction

Start by mapping the reusable GitHub Actions and the CI steps that build their Docker images; the issue does not name specific files or tests. Investigate whether pre-built images can be fetched by each pipeline, then measure the resulting CI speedup and document the approach before considering the work done.

Description

Needs Design Priority: Wishlist

Prerequisites

Feature

We could possibly speed up a lot of our ci runs by pre-building the actions images, so that each pipeline doesn't have to build the docker image every time (they'd just fetch the existing image). Not sure what kind of performance gains we could get with this, but I think it'd probably be a significant enough speed boost to investigate!
