Includes a Docker pull-through cache. Cheaper runner costs. Custom caching actions optimized for Rust, Gradle, Zig. NVMe backed I/O.
Trade-offs & limitations:
Doesn’t support personal GitHub accounts. No Windows or macOS runners.
Best suited for:

# Design Brief: Retro & Nostalgic (with Vibrant Pop)

Pixel typography, classic OS window chrome, or warm vintage print palettes.

## Design Tokens

```css
:root {
  --background: #e2ff00;
  --surface: #b9e4f7;
  --foreground: #161616;
  --muted-foreground: #4a4a4a;
  --accent: #000000;
  --radius: 9999px;
  --font-heading: "Press Start 2P", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
  --font-body: "Inter", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
  --font-mono: "JetBrains Mono", ui-monospace, monospace;
}
```

Color area ratio: Background #E2FF00 (~70%) · Surface #B9E4F7 (~8%) · Text #161616 (~14%) · Muted Text #4A4A4A (~3%) · Accent #000000 (~5%). Background and surface dominate the canvas; reserve the accent color for primary buttons and active states.

## Layout & Conversion Structure

- Hero layout: Split Copy & Visual
- Navigation: Full-Width Top Bar
- Theme & density: Light · Airy
- Border radius & elevation: Pill; no drop shadows—separate layers with hairline borders and whitespace
- Primary visual medium: Code Block / Terminal / CLI
- Conversion CTA: Start Free / Sign Up · Trust bar uses User Count, Rating, or Key Metrics
- Headline hook: Outcome & Speed Promise
- Hero components: Code & Terminal, Metrics Strip
- Spatial layout notes: Split Copy & Visual hero structure paired with start free / sign up CTA and user count, rating, or key metrics.
- Visual summary: Retro & Nostalgic (Light canvas, airy density) featuring split copy & visual layout and code block / terminal / cli visuals.

## Avoid

- Generic modern corporate gradients
- Inconsistent mixing of modern flat UI and retro chrome

Implement the UI following the design tokens and layout specifications above: use only these color variables, and reserve the accent color strictly for primary actions and active states. Adopt only this visual style—never copy any reference product’s brand name, logo, copy, or imagery.
