833 checkouts for every merge? That's quite a few. Even accounting for multiple environments at different stages of production readiness, that's pretty weird.
How about 100GB disk space for a checkout. That's pretty weird too. Makes you wonder if they're the best stewards for code. Makes you wonder about turning claude loose on your codebase.
In a repo this large, there are a lot of tests and pipelines that need to run as code is tested, built, and deployed. Each test shard we run in parallel needs to check out the code, for example.
