I remember working on a project where the first clean build would always fail, and only incremental builds could succeed. I was a junior at the time, so this was 15-20 years ago. I remember spending some time trying to get it to succeed from a clean build and my lead pulling me aside: he said it was an easy fix, but if we fixed it, the ops guys would insist on building from scratch for every build. So please, stop.
Personally, unless you have an exotic build env, it’s usually faster and easier to simply build in the runner. If you need a docker image at the end, build a dockerfile that simply copies the artifacts from disk.
