Description

Kinda a seperate issue but thought it might be a good place for the discussion.

I was thinking about this in terms of nf-core/modules.

Since we use the merge_queue, what if we only ran singularity and conda when the merge_queue is ran? It seems like the conda environment creation in some modules takes a really long time to get created(and in nf-test it creates the environment every time).

Research direction

Start by reviewing the repository's merge-queue workflow and nf-test configuration, since the issue names those entry points but no files. Clarify whether Singularity and Conda should run only in merge-queue checks, then define the expected workflow behavior and validation before implementation.
