Description

The __tests__/fixtures/ is around 80MB. The files which take most of the space are the .tgz.bin files which I assume are regenerable.

(If you also agree that this is a problem, then) a solution to this could be adding a pretest script to download these files.

Research direction
First, inspect the tests /fixtures directory to identify which .tgz.bin files are regenerable. Then, check the current package.json for any existing scripts. Propose to add a pretest script using a tool like curl or wget to download the necessary files, ensuring they are excluded from version control. Verify that tests pass after the change.
