Research direction

Start by installing @actions/artefacts and inspecting its dependency tree to identify what accounts for the reported 95+ MB footprint. No source files or tests are named, so trace the package entry points and its dependency configuration first. Done should explain the cause and address the unexpectedly large install size.
