Hey - I've found 2 issues, and left some high level feedback:
- Consider using
npm ciinstead ofnpm installin the build step to ensure reproducible installs and faster CI runs, especially for lockfile-based projects. - You can speed up repeated workflow runs by adding a cache step for
~/.npm(usingactions/cache) keyed on the lockfile, beforenpm install. - If your project defines a build script, prefer running
npm run build(and calling webpack from there) instead ofnpx webpackto keep the CI behavior aligned with local development conventions.

**suggestion (performance):** Enable built‑in npm caching to speed up repeated installs.
You can enable caching in `actions/setup-node` by adding `cache: 'npm'` (and `cache-dependency-path` if `package-lock.json` isn’t in the root) so dependencies aren’t re-downloaded on every run, reducing CI time for this workflow.
Suggested implementation:
```
- name: Use Node.js ${{ matrix.node-version }}
uses: actions/setup-node@v4
with:
node-version: ${{ matrix.node-version }}
cache: npm
# If your package-lock.json is not in the repo root, set this to its path, e.g. "frontend/package-lock.json"
# cache-dependency-path: package-lock.json
```
If your `package-lock.json` (or `npm-shrinkwrap.json`) is not in the repository root, uncomment and adjust `cache-dependency-path` to point to the correct location so the cache is keyed correctly for your dependencies.

**suggestion:** Use `npm ci` (and optionally an npm script) instead of `npm install` + bare `npx webpack`.
In CI, `npm ci` is better suited than `npm install` because it uses the lockfile for reproducible installs and is faster on clean machines. Also consider calling webpack via an npm script (e.g. `npm run build`) so build options live in `package.json` and you don’t depend on `npx` or any global webpack installation.
Suggested implementation:
```
- name: Build
run: |
npm ci
npm run build
```
Ensure that your `package.json` defines a build script, e.g.:
```json
{
"scripts": {
"build": "webpack"
}
}
```
If your build requires specific webpack CLI options, include them in the `"build"` script instead of in the workflow.
