March 2026 highlights: two CI/CD modernization efforts across piplabs/story and piplabs/story-geth to improve build speed, reliability, and reproducibility. Implemented GHCR-based caching for the main workflow and migrated Docker build cache to the GitHub Actions backend, with SHAs pinned for Docker actions and required permissions added. These changes reduce cold starts, minimize flaky builds, and enable more predictable deployments. Result: faster developer feedback loop, more reliable pipelines, and clearer governance over action versions. Technologies demonstrated: GitHub Actions caching, GHCR usage, Docker Buildx, pinned action SHAs, actions:write permissions.
