Research direction

Start with bundler.js around line 209, where the parallel installation setting is hardcoded to 4. Trace how the action invokes Bundler and determine how an existing BUNDLE_JOBS value should affect that setting. Done means installations honor BUNDLE_JOBS when it is present while retaining current behavior otherwise.

Description

We just ran into a bug related to Bundler where transitive dependencies would not resolve correctly when parallel installation (--jobs option) is enabled. The problem with the current action is that there is no way to configure this behaviour as it is hardcoded to 4 (cf. bundler.js).

It would be very helpful if the BUNDLE_JOBS configuration, if present, could be honored.
