Description

For OpenCodelists, the checks are run inside Docker containers.

For job-server, the checks are run on the code directly. Which is preferable, I'm not entirely sure, but maybe it's worth keeping the process consistent between projects.

Research direction

Compare OpenCodelists' current Docker-based checks with the job-server workflow in .github/workflows/main.yml. Start by tracing how checks are invoked in each project and determine which approach is preferable for consistency. Done means the preferred approach and the required scope of any workflow change are agreed.
