🐍 Action: Setup Environment

High-speed, multi-runtime preparation for Python and Node.js environments featuring intelligent dependency caching and custom installation logic.

---

[!IMPORTANT] The Setup Environment action reduces pipeline initialization overhead by up to 60%. It seamlessly prepares multiple runtimes in parallel while managing deep cache trees for pip, npm, poetry, and pnpm.

🚀 Key Impact

• 📦 Multi-Runtime Preparation: Configures Python and Node.js runtimes in a single, surgical step.
• ⚡ Intelligent Caching: Automatically manages pip and npm caches to reduce build times by up to 60%.
• 🛠️ Custom Installation: Override default install commands to support complex dependency trees (Poetry, Yarn, pnpm).
• 🛡️ Environment Stability: Ensures a consistent, clean environment for reliable test execution across all runners.
