💡 Recommendations

1. Reduce retention on large daily workflows: Workflows like Daily Issues Report Generator, Daily News, Copilot Session Insights generate 30–72 MB artifacts per run. Set retention-days: 7 (or even 3) instead of the default 90 days — this could save 10+ GB over time.

2. Compress artifacts before upload: NLP/analysis workflows uploading multi-MB JSON/log bundles should use gzip or tar.gz before calling actions/upload-artifact. Typical compression ratios of 5–10x are achievable for JSON.

3. Disable or archive stale workflows: 6 workflows haven't run since Aug–Nov 2025 — they accumulate metadata and confuse the workflow list without value.

4. Doc Build - Deploy outlier: 3 artifacts averaging 244 MB each. If these are full site builds, consider using GitHub Pages deployment artifacts with actions/upload-pages-artifact which is optimized for static sites.

5. Smoke tests cleanup: Smoke Copilot (780 MB over 43 runs) and Smoke Codex (488 MB over 25 runs) average 18–20 MB per run. Consider whether full context logs need to be uploaded for every smoke run, or only on failure.
