Large runner without justification

Rule ID	large_runner_justification
Category	energy
Severity	low

A GPU or large runner is used but no compute-intensive steps (model training, heavy compilation) are present.

Detection

pattern_matching — Regex or keyword matching on string field values.

Examples

Non-compliant:

jobs:
  lint:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest-gpu
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - run: npm run lint

Compliant:

jobs:
  lint:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - run: npm run lint

Fix: Replace the GPU or large runner with a standard runner (ubuntu-latest) for lightweight tasks. Reserve large runners for compute-intensive workloads like model training or heavy compilation.
