Description

At the moment, each Jenkins job runs in its own workspace.
Since most of our machines are able to run only one job at a time, I suggest that we configure some of the jobs that require to build the node binary, to all run on a specific hardcoded workspace.
That way, we wouldn't have multiple copies of the build artifacts.

Research direction

Inspect the Jenkins job configurations for jobs that build the node binary and determine how their workspaces are assigned. Confirm which jobs can safely share a hardcoded workspace and verify that colocating them removes duplicate build artifacts without conflicts.
