Description

I'm running into an out of memory problem in a larger C++ project (https://github.com/mpreiner/CVC4/runs/351674288). I checked the size of the lcov.info on my machine an it's 95M. The 2048M heap limit seems to be a limitation from node. Is there a way to increase the heap limit for the coveralls action so that it uses all the available memory of the runner?

Research direction

Start by examining how this GitHub Action invokes Node and processes the lcov.info file, using the linked CVC4 workflow run as the reproduction context. Determine whether the heap limit can be increased for the action, and consider the issue done when a 95M coverage file completes without the JavaScript heap out-of-memory failure.
