In GitHub Actions, Docker images are already built by docker/build-push-action steps before ci-env.sh runs. The ci:build call in ci-env.sh rebuilds them from scratch, wasting ~2 minutes. Add a --skip-build flag to ci-env.sh and pass it from the workflow's "Set Up Test Environment" step. Local ci:testmock continues to work unchanged.

Summary
--skip-buildflag toscripts/ci-env.shto skipnpm run ci:buildwhen Docker images are already built--skip-buildfrom the workflow's "Set Up Test Environment" step, sincedocker/build-push-actionalready builds and tags the imagesnpm run ci:testmockcontinues to work unchanged (no flag passed)Estimated savings
~1-2 minutes per integration test run (eliminates redundant Docker image rebuilds)
Test plan
--skip-build(no Docker build output in "Set Up Test Environment" step)npm run ci:testmockstill builds images and runs tests correctly
