Research direction

Start by reviewing the repository's GitHub Actions entry points and the logic that installs tools on GitHub-hosted images. Identify which tools can already be reused and how an option would affect installation and CI behavior. Done means the option is defined, existing tools are reused safely, and the relevant CI paths verify the reduced installation work.
