Description

We should have a job that builds a new index.redb on CI and uploads it to an artifact store. Ideally this would be on every commit, but it's a large file that takes a long time to build, so we could do it nightly, or even weekly.

  • Does GitHub CI allow long-running jobs?
  • How can we upload these?

Trying to use GitHub for this as much as possible is good. Git LFS is an extremely awkward extension to Git, and is best avoided, but it could be an option here.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine existing GitHub Actions workflows in the repository, understand the build process for index.redb, and implement a workflow that builds and uploads it as an artifact. Consider using scheduled triggers (nightly) or on push with caching to avoid long build times.
