- setup-dotnet@v5 with cache: true persists ~/.nuget/packages between runs, keyed on **/*.csproj. Cold restore (~90s) becomes a tar extract on cache hit. - Replace five sequential dotnet restore + five sequential dotnet build invocations with one each against PlanViewer.sln. MSBuild builds the dependency graph in parallel internally, and we save four MSBuild startup cycles. - Tests still build via the solution build, then run with --no-build. PlanViewer.Ssms and PlanViewer.Ssms.Installer are intentionally not in PlanViewer.sln, so they remain excluded from CI as before. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Linux runners are ~2x faster than windows-latest on GitHub-hosted. None of the projects in PlanViewer.sln are Windows-only: - PlanViewer.Core, .App, .Cli are net8.0 cross-platform - PlanViewer.Web is Blazor WASM, builds on Linux with wasm-tools - PlanViewer.Core.Tests is xunit on net8.0 - PlanViewer.App already references SkiaSharp.NativeAssets.Linux PlanViewer.Ssms (legacy net472 + VSSDK) is not in the solution and is not built in CI; it stays Windows-only via its own workflow if one exists. If anything fails on Linux that's not flaggable as a small fix, revert this PR and we keep the cache + solution-build wins from #317.

@erikdarlingdata previously called out path filters and
ubuntu-latestmigration as further wins. Both are out of scope here — this PR is the low-risk pair.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
