  WASTE FINDINGS
  ● [HIGH]   acme/infra :: Deploy Production — schedule fires too often
             Scheduled every 15m, avg 0.3 runs/day trigger rate.
             Fix: change cron to hourly. Saves ~1,800 min/mo.

  ● [MEDIUM] acme/front :: PR Check — runs on push to main (not just PRs)
             28% of runs triggered by push, not pull_request.
             Fix: add  on: pull_request  filter. Saves ~360 min/mo.

  ● [LOW]    acme/api :: CI / Build & Test — low cache hit rate (12%)
             Fix: cache node_modules with actions/cache. Saves ~180 min/mo.

  TOTAL POTENTIAL SAVINGS: ~2,340 min/mo  (~$18.72/mo at $0.008/min)
